YAMCHA
YA
The original desert bandit and the internet's favorite punching bag long before memes were even a thing. Look, we all know the infamous Saibaman crater incident, but let's give Yamcha some credit! He brought the Wolf Fang Fist to the table, and you have to respect a guy who consistently shows up to help his friends fight literal planet-busters when he'd probably be much safer just sticking to his professional baseball career.
YAMCHA THROUGH THE ARCHIVE //
WISH LEDGER //
Open page →Shenron Revives Cell's Victims
Open →Cell Games Saga
After Cell is destroyed, Shenron revives the people killed by him. Future Trunks returns after being shot through the chest, and Android 17 is restored as well.
Goku cannot be included because Earth's Dragon Balls have already revived him once under their existing rules.

Why it matters
The wish repairs most of the Cell Games without erasing Goku's decision to stay dead. The limitation on Shenron is what prevents the ending from becoming a complete reset.
Shenron Revives Goku
Open →Saiyan Saga
Goku spends most of the Saiyan countdown dead and training with King Kai. Earth's Dragon Balls are held until the timing is right, then Shenron is used to bring him back to life.
The wish works. The commute does not disappear. Goku still has to race back down Snake Way while Nappa and Vegeta are already on Earth.

Why it matters
DBZ turns resurrection into logistics. Bringing Goku back is only one part of getting him where he needs to be before everybody else is dead.
