I feel like you've mentioned a card that does something similar, but in my Power Rangers tabletop game, when you're fighting a pair of the dumb minions, one of their cards is literally: "I'm not reading all that". It cancels out EVERY written word on EVERY card, both good and bad. Super fun!

Straight-up honest answer: they'd revive him with the Dragon Balls after a wacky adventure to gather them all, then everything is the exact same until they have to figure out an alternate plan to take out Raditz so Goku doesn't die again, due to the "one revive only" stipulation of Shenron.

Misty path to Dewa Sanzan temples, Japan (Photography by Ah Bee Panda).
Ascending through a dense cathedral of ancient, towering Japanese cedars (sugi), a moss-carpeted stone staircase (ishidan) carves a dark, deliberate path into the veil of a mountain mist. The lower foreground is grounded by deep, ink-like tones of wet slate and weathered bark, where ferns and emerald moss cling to centuries-old roots. Above, a heavy, luminous fog softens the canopy, partially dissolving the distant forest and the silhouetted eaves of hidden shrine architecture into an ethereal, monochromatic haze. The high-contrast interplay between the damp, dark stones below and the pale, misty void above creates an immersive sensory landscape filled with the quiet aroma of damp pine, damp earth, and cool mountain air.
Photographed by Ah Bee Panda, this composition captures the sacred approach (sandō) of Mount Haguro, one of the revered Dewa Sanzan (Three Mountains of Dewa) nestled in Yamagata Prefecture. Comprising 2,446 hand-laid stone steps lined by over five hundred ancient cedars, this trail has served for over a millennium as a pilgrimage route for practitioners of Shugendō—a syncretic tradition combining Shinto nature worship, Esoteric Buddhism, and mountain asceticism. Within Shugendō cosmology, traversing the Dewa Sanzan represents a symbolic journey of spiritual death and rebirth, with Mount Haguro representing the present physical life. The meticulous construction of these stone stairs and the preservation of the sacred grove demonstrate a profound environmental monozukuri (artisanal mastery in sacred design), where human devotion is sculpted into permanent, harmonious dialogue with the living forest.

Waterfal Bridge, Takachiho Gorge, Japan
Plunging down a dark, sheer cliff of columnar basalt, the cascading curtain of Manai Falls (Manai-no-taki) shimmers in a veil of fine spray before merging into the quiet, dark waters of the Gokase River. Framed by towering, moss-draped rock faces that rise like natural ramparts, the high arch of a stone bridge spans the canyon, its silhouette crowned by a canopy of autumn foliage shifting from rich emerald to radiant amber. Deep within the chasm, light filters down from the high forest above, illuminating a small rowboat drifting near the sunlit bend where the river recedes into the distance.

Carved over millennia by the Gokase River flowing through ancient volcanic lava streams from Mount Aso, Takachiho Gorge (高千穂峡) in Miyazaki Prefecture stands as one of Kyushu’s most sacred natural monuments. In Shinto tradition, Takachiho is venerated as the legendary site of Tenson Kōrin—the divine descent of Ninigi-no-Mikoto, grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu, sent from the high heavenly realm (Takamagahara) to bring order and harmony to the earthly land. Manai Falls itself is steeped in myth; according to local lore, when the region lacked water, the deity Ameno Oshihito-no-Mikoto transported water from a celestial spring to feed the waterfall. The sheer, hexagonal basalt pillars (kyōjō-setsujo) formed by the rapid cooling of lava embody the ancient Japanese reverence for kami residing directly within dramatic, elemental landforms.

Red weeping cherry tree, Kodaiji Temple, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Japan
Cascading in a luminous canopy of deep pink blossoms, a magnificent red weeping cherry tree (beni-shidarezakura) swoops over the courtyard of Kōdai-ji under an incandescent twilight sky. Its weeping boughs drop toward a dry landscape garden (karesansui), where pale gravel (shirakawa-suna) is sculpted into fluid, sweeping waves. Sinuous ribbons of red, yellow, and green illumination trace the contours of the raked sand, creating the illusion of glowing currents meandering around the tree’s mossy island. In the background, warm light illuminates the sweeping curved gables of an outer gate and decorative screen, contrasting the warm glow of the garden against the deep indigo hue of the evening air.
Here, the central weeping cherry—a focal point of Kyoto’s spring calendar—bridges centuries of Zen gardening tradition with modern visual display, translating the fleeting ritual of flower viewing (hanami) into a theatrical nocturnal spectacle.

Aesthetically, the composition presents a dramatic meditation on mono no aware—the bittersweet awareness of impermanence—as the weeping cherry reaches the peak of its ephemeral bloom. The intense contrast between the glowing pink canopy and the darkening cobalt sky evokes a profound sense of yūgen, capturing the mysterious, shadowy depth of twilight (magatoki). The raked gravel, patterned with vibrant illuminated currents, functions as a dynamic application of yohaku (active negative space), turning empty ground into a stylized representation of cosmic water. Bounded by the perimeter of the Abbot’s Hall, the garden acts as a spiritual kekkai (sacred threshold), isolating the viewer within a sanctuary of contemplative awe.

Hydrangea Forest, Japan
Tumbling in soft, pastel cascades down a shaded woodland slope, a dense carpet of hydrangeas (ajisai) transforms a towering cedar grove into a sea of muted color. Rounded mophead clusters in shades of cerulean blue, lavender, deep violet, and blush mauve crowd the understory, their delicate petals luminous against dark, moist earth and lush foliage. Soaring vertically through the floral expanse, the straight, dark trunks of Japanese cedar (sugi) create a rhythmic structural grid, filtering soft, diffused light through the high canopy to bathe the forest floor in a cool, overcast glow.

Native to Japan, the hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) has long been celebrated as the definitive herald of tsuyu—the early summer rainy season. Frequently cultivated in woodland precincts and temple grounds—giving rise to the beloved moniker Ajisai-dera ("Hydrangea Temples") across regions like Kamakura and Kyoto, as well as expansive mountain sanctuaries like Michinoku in Iwate—the flower thrives in acidic, damp soil. In classical Japanese literature and poetry, ajisai is known colloquially as nanatenge ("seven transformations") due to the way its petals shift hue from pale green to brilliant blue or violet as the rain changes the soil chemistry. This dynamic shift made the flower an enduring symbol of transformation, patience, and gentle resilience through the damp, mist-laden months of June and July.

A narrow stream, almost dry, winds its way through a narrow, wooded gorge. Very little water flows in the sandy stream bed, which is covered with stones and leaves. To the left and right, shady, terraced rock faces rise up, densely covered with green moss and ferns. A rotten tree trunk lies across the foreground. Bright, warm sunlight filters through the trees in the background, falling on the green vegetation.

This photo has been taken in the minutes after a sunset. At Thulusdhoo beach, looking out to the lagoon. The calm waters of the lagoon and the sea outside it perfectly reflect the colors of the sky. At the horizon, around mid-frame, a boat can be seen crossing the sea. There is a very low-lying horizontal cloud bank. Above it, the clouds on the left side of the frame are illuminated by the gold of the sun, while the clouds on the opposite side are dark.

Das Bild zeigt eine idyllische Morgenlandschaft mit einem schmalen Bach, der sich durch eine grüne, von Nebel durchzogene Wiese schlängelt. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und Sträucher zu sehen, die im warmen Licht der aufgehenden Sonne leuchten. Der Himmel ist leicht neblig, und die Szene wirkt friedlich und naturnah. Im Vordergrund rahmen Blätter und Zweige das Bild ein.
