Goku's Furious Roar! A Last-Minute Resurrection Wish!

Shenron's power reaches across the cosmos to Namek, pulling the fallen back from death. Grand Elder Guru draws breath once more, and with his revival, the Namekian Dragon Balls regain their glow. King Kai wastes no time, immediately contacting the Grand Elder telepathically and explaining the plan to evacuate everyone from Namek.

The Elder dispatches Dende to locate Porunga and use the final Namekian wish. The young Namekian runs through the crumbling terrain with desperate urgency, knowing that every second brings the planet closer to total annihilation. Back on the battlefield, Gohan returns to face Frieza, buying time while the plan unfolds behind the scenes.

Goku Takes a Stand

When King Kai and Guru propose teleporting everyone off Namek, Goku makes a firm demand. He insists that he and Frieza be excluded from the evacuation. This is his fight, and he intends to see it through on this dying world. Despite protests from King Kai, Goku's resolve is absolute. The final wish from Porunga transports all other living beings to Earth, leaving only the two combatants on Namek's shattered surface.

Frieza notices Porunga's appearance and races to reach the dragon before any wishes can be made. Goku intercepts him, and the two clash violently as the wish is granted. When everyone vanishes from around them, Frieza demands to know what happened. The realization that his opponents have outmaneuvered him strategically infuriates the tyrant beyond measure.

With no hostages left to threaten and no planet left to bargain with, the conflict is stripped down to its purest form. Two warriors, alone on a world that has minutes left to exist, prepare for their definitive confrontation.

The evacuation is a brilliant strategic stroke that removes every variable from the equation. By choosing to remain behind, Goku transforms the battle from a chaotic rescue mission into a focused duel where the only thing at stake is the outcome between himself and Frieza.

Vegeta's brief appearance on Earth after being revived is notable. Seeing Goku as a Super Saiyan for the first time, Vegeta's reaction mixes shock and bitterness, foreshadowing the rivalry that will drive his character for years to come.
