King Kai tests Goku’s Spirit Bomb ability, which succeeds, but warns against using it on Earth. Goku agrees to reserve it for emergencies. Upon completing training, Goku learns the Saiyans will arrive sooner than anticipated, and King Kai realizes he failed to account for Goku’s travel time back to Earth. Goku urgently requests resurrection via telepathy. On Earth, Master Roshi, Bulma, and Oolong summon Shenron to grant the wish. Goku then begins his return journey along Snake Way, expecting a faster trip due to his enhanced strength, speed, and new techniques. The following day, Vegeta and Nappa land on Earth to search for the Dragon Balls.
