"A Great Reversal" is the five hundredth chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1995 #03/04 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
Boo wants to make this fight quick, because of Super Gotenks' time limit. Gohan thinks Boo was right to absorb Piccolo as well. Gohan kicks at Boo, but Boo catches his leg. Gohan tries with the other leg, but Boo grabs that as well, and Gohan is just hanging there. Gohan shoots a blast with his hand, but Boo leans his head back and dodges it. From there, Boo sends his forelock up between his own legs, so that it grabs Gohan around the neck. He then drags Gohan between his legs, so that Gohan and Boo are now back to back. Boo then faces backwards and punches Gohan off into the distance, followed by a huge blast, but Gohan just barely manages to jump out of the way.
Boo flies over to Gohan, and taunts him, which angers Gohan. Gohan flies at Boo with a kick, but Boo dodges it by leaning back. He leans so far back that he does a complete somersault, kicking Gohan up into the air. Boo then fires Gotenks' Rapid Fire Super Donuts, tying Gohan up, and Boo laughs, asking what if feels like to be done in by a friend's technique. In the Kaiōshin Realm, Goku thinks Gohan will be killed for sure. Elder Kaiōshin says he had not calculated this would happen, and tells Son Goku to go help. Goku says he cannot go back to the living world anymore. Elder Kaiōshin realizes this, and says he will give his own life so that Goku can live. Kibito protests giving his life to a mortal, but the old man says Majin Boo will certainly come here otherwise. Kaiōshin volunteers instead, but Elder Kaiōshin says he is still young, while he only has about a thousand years left.
Boo prepares to use another of their techniques, the Kamehameha, and Gohan breaks free of the donuts just in time to dodge it. Boo is annoyed at his persistence. Meanwhile, back in the afterlife, King Enma comments that he had left this particular soul alone just in case something like this were to happen, and since it has, he has gone and even given him a body again. King Enma instructs him to go to Earth and help, and he will have the Fortuneteller Crone take him there. The Crone understands. Vegeta smirks, thinking it is funny they would ask a villain like him to help, even if he only provides a faint hope of defeating Majin Boo.
Elder Kaiōshin says farewell, and then keels over. Goku's halo disappears, and he promises not to waste this life. Elder Kaiōshin suddenly sits up again, sporting a halo, saying to hurry so that he has not died in vain. Meanwhile, Boo continues mocking Gohan's persistence to live.
