	Goku finally wakes up, and sees that Vegeta took the last senzu. He realizes he was knocked out so Vegeta could fight Majin ~~Buu~~ alone. He feels ~~Buu~~'s ''ki'', but not Vegeta's. He ~~doesn't~~ feel Gohan's ''ki'', either, and wonders what happened. But he does feel Piccolo and Kuririn, meaning they~~'re~~ no longer stone, and they probably know what's going on. So, Goku teleports away. Up at God's Temple, Piccolo says it will probably be about an hour before ~~the boys~~ wake up. Kuririn feels bad that Vegeta and Gohan are dead, and who knows what happened to Goku. Then he asks Dende if it would be okay to bring his family up here, knowing it's probably wrong to want to save just his friends. Dende asks Piccolo, but Piccolo says to decide for himself. Dende ~~doesn't~~ mind, since the Earth is still around because of them.		[[Goku]] finally wakes up, and sees that [[Vegeta]] took the last [[Senzu\|senzu]]. He realizes he was knocked out so Vegeta could fight [[Majin Boo]] alone. He feels Boo's ''[[Ki\|ki]]'', but not Vegeta's. He does not feel [[Son Gohan\|Gohan's]] ''ki'', either, and wonders what happened. But he does feel [[Piccolo]] and [[Kuririn]], meaning they are no longer stone, and they probably know what is going on. So, Goku [[Teleportation\|teleports]] away. Up at [[God's Temple]], Piccolo says it will probably be about an hour before [[Goten]] and [[Trunks]] wake up. Kuririn feels bad that Vegeta and Gohan are dead, and who knows what happened to Goku. Then he asks [[Dende]] if it would be okay to bring his family up here, knowing it is probably wrong to want to save just his friends. Dende asks Piccolo, but Piccolo says to decide for himself. Dende does not mind, since the [[Earth]] is still around because of them.

	Kuririn prepares to leave, but he and Piccolo feel a familiar ''ki'' suddenly appear. Kuririn is excited that Goku's alive (although technically he's not). Goku wants to know what happened, but Dende says he will heal him first. Some time passes, and Goku ~~can't~~ believe that Gohan, Kaiōshin, and even Vegeta have been killed. Piccolo says Kaiōshin was right to fear ~~Buu~~, and now the whole universe will be in danger. Kuririn thinks that the fact that Goku is alive is their happiness amidst the sorrow. He says Goku is the only one who can defeat ~~Buu~~, and asks if he still has more time remaining in ~~This World~~.		Kuririn prepares to leave, but he and Piccolo feel a familiar ''ki'' suddenly appear. Kuririn is excited that Goku is alive (although technically he is not). Goku wants to know what happened, but Dende says he will heal him first. Some time passes, and Goku cannot believe that Gohan, [[Shin\|Kaiōshin]], and even Vegeta have been killed. Piccolo says Kaiōshin was right to fear Boo, and now the whole universe will be in danger. Kuririn thinks that the fact that Goku is alive is their happiness amidst the sorrow. He says Goku is the only one who can defeat Boo, and asks if he still has more time remaining in this world.

	"To put it bluntly, it's impossible. I can't defeat him. The difference in true strength between me and Vegeta was almost nil. Vegeta even gave up his life, but Majin ~~Buu~~ was barely affected, right? Sorry, but, there's no way I could win." Goku says he could~~'ve~~ done something if at least Gohan or Vegeta were alive, though Piccolo says the amount of people there are ~~doesn't~~ make much difference against ~~Buu~~. Goku ~~didn't mean that,~~ he wanted to use Fusion. Dende's heard of this as well, it's the special technique of the Metamorians. Goku says he learned it from a Metamorian in the ~~Heavenly Realm~~. It's a union technique that only two people of similar power and body size can use. Two people fuse into one, and they can become an incredibly powerful person. Metamorians are weak on their own, but with Fusion, they become halfway decent warriors.		"To put it bluntly, it's impossible. I can't defeat him.

Goku says he could have done something if at least Gohan or Vegeta were alive, though Piccolo says the amount of people there are does not make much difference against Boo. That is not what Goku meant; he wanted to use [[Fusion]]. Dende has heard of this as well, it is the special technique of the [[Metamorians]]. Goku says he learned it from a Metamorian in the [[afterlife]]. It is a union technique that only two people of similar power and body size can use. Two people fuse into one, and they can become an incredibly powerful person. Metamorians are weak on their own, but with Fusion, they become halfway decent warriors.

	Piccolo realizes Goku could have fused with Gohan or Vegeta if they were alive. Goku says he was taught the technique, but he's never actually done it, since there was no one like him there. But even so, it took him a week to learn the technique. Piccolo thinks it's futile either way, but Kuririn thinks Goku can go back to the dead and fuse with Gohan or Vegeta. Piccolo bursts his bubble though by saying that even if Goku fused with either one, he ~~couldn't~~ return to ~~This World~~, and besides, Vegeta ~~isn't~~ in ~~the Heavenly Realm~~. Mister Popo then suggests that the two sleeping inside, Goten and Trunks, have near equal power and size. Goku thinks that's great, and says he~~'ll~~ teach them Fusion until he has to leave, and then Piccolo can train them afterwards. Piccolo agrees, and Kuririn gets excited at this faint glimmer of hope.		Piccolo realizes Goku could have fused with Gohan or Vegeta if they were alive.

	Piccolo thinks that it will take a long time for the boys to master Fusion, and many lives will be lost to Majin ~~Buu~~ in the meantime. Perhaps everyone will be annihilated, or even the Earth itself will be destroyed. Goku says as long as they~~'re~~ alive and they have the Dragon Balls, they can fix things. Kuririn prepares to leave to fetch everyone, when the sky suddenly turns black. It's Shenlong. Kuririn figures it must be Bulma who summoned him, and wonders why she'd gather the Dragon Balls without knowing the circumstances yet. Goku realizes they must mean to return to life the people Vegeta killed at the Budōkai. Dende says it~~'ll~~ be a year before they can use the Dragon Balls again if they make three wishes, and so Goku focuses on their ''ki'' and ~~teleport~~ away.

	Outside of Capsule Corporation, everyone else has gathered, as Shenlong tells them to speak their wish. Yamcha knows what to say: "Please return to life the people who died today! Oh! Except for the bad people!" Shenlong says it is granted, and wants to know their second wish. Goku arrives just then, and realizes he's too late, while everyone else he shocked to see him. He telepathically contacts Dende, explaining that one wish has already been used up. Dende says if they only used one wish, then it will only be a four month wait. Goku understands, and tells Dende to tell Kuririn that he~~'ll~~ bring everyone there, since they~~'re~~ all gathered with him now. Goku then tells Shenlong they~~'ve~~ made enough wishes, and so Shenlong bids them farewell. Yamcha asks Goku what's going on. Meanwhile, ~~Babidi~~ is still flying on ~~Buu~~'s back, and he wonders why it suddenly got dark and then bright again. And elsewhere, Kibito is alive again, and ~~can't~~ believe it.

I am the mage Babidi. I am using magic to speak to your hearts. The truth is, today I was made to suffer unpleasantly. By three idiots... I'm looking for these three idiots."

	People around the world can hear Babidi speaking, and wonder ~~what’s~~ going on. "Close your eyes and ~~I’ll~~ show you. ~~I’m~~ sending an image." Everyone can then see an image of Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten. "Do you see them? ~~I’m~~ searching for these three. So come on out! They should know who they are. If you ~~don’t~~ come out... Ah, I should fully introduce myself. ~~I’m~~ the scary mage, Babidi! And this is my servant, the even scarier Majin Buu. ~~He’s~~ strong, and there is absolutely no one who could win against him.

"'''A Faint Hope'''" is the four hundred and sixty-ninth chapter of the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. It was first published in Japan in the 1994 #23 issue of Shueisha’s ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.

==Summary==
Babidi says he’s going to cause quite a spectacle. Back at the remains of the battlefield, Kibito tries to figure out what’s going on, until he feels that Kaiōshin is still alive, and flies off. Kaiōshin is struggling along, saying that Gohan is still alive, until he collapses. Kibito reaches him shortly afterwards, and is just in time to heal him. Neither of them understand how Kibito is alive again, but then Kaiōshin freaks out and says they have to hurry to Gohan. Gohan is still lying on the ground in that forest, as the two of them fly off. Kaiōshin asks him if he feels that great "power energy" of Majin Buu, and Kibito does. Kibito thinks how hopeless things are now, and that all the life in the universe is in danger.

Kaiōshin says it’s not hopeless, as he sees a faint light. Kibito asks if it has something to do with Son Gohan. Kaiōshin says it does, because he thinks Gohan’s far-beyond-imagination power could be changed into an even more unbelievable power, and he could surpass Majin Buu. Kibito wonders if he means "that", and Kaiōshin says he didn’t see how strong those three Saiyans were. Then, they finally reach Gohan. Kaiōshin says they should bring him to Kaiōshin Realm before healing him, and Kibito can’t believe he’d allow a human to set foot in the Kaiōshin Realm, that sacred ground that not even Dai Kaiō has set foot upon. Kaiōshin says yes, and they must hurry before Gohan dies. Kibito then teleports them away in a flash of light.

Up at God’s Palace, everyone is there now. Someone asks about Bulma’s parents, but they stayed behind to look after the animals. But, they can still be returned to life by the Dragon Balls. Kuririn says they don’t know where Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu are, either. Chi-Chi then asks about Gohan and Goten, and Bulma asks about Trunks and Vegeta. Goku decides it’s best to tell them. Goten and Trunks are safe, Gohan and Vegeta are dead, killed by Majin Buu. Chi-Chi faints, and Gyūmaō catches her, while Bulma begins crying. Then suddenly, "Do you hear my voice, people of Earth? I am the mage Babidi. I am using magic to speak to your hearts. The truth is, today I was made to suffer unpleasantly. By three idiots... I’m looking for these three idiots."
