I guess it would make sense if some dude was like 100 and his family kept wishing him back after he kept dying from being old.

Take me to your Shida

Considering Freeza comes back as a puzzle I've always assumed that wishing someone back just brings them back as they were right before they died, so wishing someone back who died of natural causes would basically just bring them back so they can die again.

On the other hand Chaotzu and Krillin came back intact and Tien got his arm back so maybe the Dragon was just being a poo poo.

I figured with Freeza it wasn't just that he was chopped into pico de douchebag by Trunks, it was that he was already missing like forty percent of his body and probably Bulma had long ago broken his augs down to see if there were any cool ideas in there to copy.

Even if he is able to sustain wounds like that far better than humans can, he was still in a bad state, and unlike the Z-fighters, the celestial hierarchy has no desire to make it easier for them.

The dragon can bring people back restored whole with new bodies. Sometimes, he doesn't want to

And just to clarify, future Gohan and Bulma can't wish back Goku because Shenron can't bring back people who die of natural causes?

They tried and were beat to the punch by Pilaf and the gang who used the last wish the Dragon Balls ever produced to turn themselves into babies

There's not really much you can do to restore a body that's just too old though. With Elder Guru the dragon was only able to bring him back for a short amount of time, and that was only because Frieza stressed him out.

the Dragon brought back Frezia in chunks because he had to grant the wish but he didn't want to; he just went super literal genie and brought him back as chunklets under 'well you didn't TECHNICALLY say you wanted him in one piece, so here's a slurry'

The English dub at least is 100% clear on that iirc.

The latin american dub has him saying he can brought Freezer's spirit back but it wouldn't do any good since his body went to poo poo years ago and instead of you know, asking him to resurrect him on a restored body, Tagoma says that is fine if Freezer is resurrected in pieces since they can restore him with their tech.

But Earth was destroyed once by Buu. Which I guess means that when the world was restored with the Namekian dragon balls, Frieza's remains came back too.

It was hilarious. The funniest series I've seen on YouTube along with "If the Emperor had a text to speech device Warhammer 40K" one. Timing, voice acting, comedy was great and it actually did well with the story and characters better than just the regular series. Good writing too.

I remember in the battle of the gods dub that Mai said she was in her 40s in a half joking half truth way, so im pretty sure their memory is still okay. Kinda weird that they let them hang around in super or that they don't remember them.

I think those that do remember don't really care, because hey, it's the first guys we fought when we were actual children, but now they're babies and our stupid friend has the power of a god if they fall out of line.

Also they were kinda incompetent even back then, so no real reason to be worried.

Part of King Kai's training centered on telling a proper joke. Goku refusing to wish King Kai back and failing at every attempt is actually him making King Kai's lifeless existence a dark joke, thus showing that he has learned his mentor's greatest attack. His devotion to this is such that he will contrive multiple situations simply to dangle the possibility of life in front of King Kai, only to yank it away at the last second, bringing sick joy to all of us.

It is the greatest gift Goku can give.

Yup and he never got wished back to life. The super episode of Goku using the dragon balls (everyone wanted a wish it seems) was hilarious because Shenron couldn’t hold out much longer without someone making a wish and was like see ya assholes in 6 months.

Well, I mean he's still around and basically doing the same things. In the episode where Goku WAS gonna bring him back 18 even calls him out that, since he still has his body, there isn't really any difference between being alive or dead for him.

King Kai's only response is that being dead feels weird.

You'd think there'd be someone in the afterlife that could just fix it. Some deity that has the power to be like "Oh, one of our gods is dead. Better fix that."

That's probably the only time that death actually has a meaning. Remember how Goku told Vegeta if he died while he's dead (somehow that's a thing) then he just never returns/stops existing. Sides, not like much is different with King Kai dead. :v:

Considering the realm of the dead in Dragonball is literally just a physical place somewhere in space you can go to and come back from, dying while dead is hardly the most ridiculous aspect of death in this series.
