My heart breaks that Piccolo fails to fuse with Kiku. I wish it daddy Pic-o-san is the one who is transferred first - leaving old Kami Daimao in the after life. Ah well. I'm hooked with this story, from the prequel and now this one. I love that Gohan is attached to Piccolo-san while Goku is attached to daddy Goku. Swapping son with your arch-nemesis (():) ha! Piccolo smile!
I know this story is updated close to twenty years ago but if... if... you ever find the muse - this word gonna remind me of adorable Torankusu - please please update this story.
Thanks for writing it!

Hey I know I haven't reviewed much, but I love this story. Please update soon. It's been like 11 years since you updated. I mean I found this last week, but for your other fans you should update soon. Please and thank you!

I didn't realize that Kioku had died in the last chapter, or I totally would have mentioned him in my review. I can't believe that they are dead. I just broke down on the scene and I'm still crying as I write this review. God it's so sad!

I can't believe in 5 years Kioku couldn't figure out how to throw his arm. And OMG you killed Trunks! Why?

Oh please PLEASE update! It's only been over 10 years since chapter 10. I know it's hard to get back into a story that you haven't updated for a long time but this has to be one of the best and saddest DBZ story out there. It would be really sad if you never finished it. (By the way I LOVE this story, it's sad but holy crap it's good) if you do continue this are you going to send anyone to the past to warn the Z fighters? Cause that would be interesting.

Really hope you finish this some day.

This is a great story I really am praying that you finish with it. It would be an utter shame to see it go to waste. I hope you update very soon because I'm going to check every week to see it you did. Keep up the good work!

Your work is amazing.

Amazing, amazing writing. My heart went out to Kioku whenever Gohan mistreated him. I think it's interesting that Gohan now seems to be in the position his deceased mentor Piccolo was when he first trained him. Surely, the extreme resentment Gohan feels toward Piccolo's son will eventually become a strong bond-at least I hope so. You do a very nice job of describing the intensity of the characters' emotions, particularly Gohan and Chi-Chi. I like the depth with which you portray Chi-Chi, how she's not just a nagging shrew. Wonderful beginning, I look forward to seeing how this story unfolds.

So, close to four years later um...Poke?

Are you going to update this or is it dead and gone? I'm just asking 'cuz I realy hope it's not dead. I think this was the first DBZ fic that made me cry, and by cry I mean huge-shake-the-couch sobs.

I

You'd better not leave him dangling! Update this or (Using a favourite quote from Launch of the first DB series) I'll kil you, then fill you with so many bullets you'll jump back to life just to beg me for mercy!

If you've discontinued this, please tell me so I don't have my hopes constantly up. I don't usually alert stories that have been pending for years...

Hi Leia! Sorry because I haven't answered before, but I have been with the exams.

About what you've told me, I see your point. But we see it different. For you, when Piccolo's father die and Piccolo is born, Dragon Balls didn't dissappear because Piccolo inherit all memories from his father. And as Kioku didn't inherit them, Dragon Balls didn't exist when Piccolo dies. At least, it's what I understood. If I'm wrong tell me.

In any case, I dind't think in all Black Dragon Balls (the GT ones, I don't remember their name, now), but for me it's different. I don't remember now when, but there's a moment during Namek’ saga, that someone (I don't remember who) explain to Gohan and the others that not all Nameks can create Dragon Balls, that there was only a family that had the power to create the Dragon Balls and Kamisama must be one of them. So, it’s the blood which has the power. And as Kioku has this blood, Dragon Ball cannot dissappear when Piccolo dies. Of course is a supposition.

But then, as you say Dende is the new God and we have to suppose that he is a descendant of this family: it’s something never mentioned in anime/manga (at least the Spanish version).

So, I don’t know what to think. It’s very subjective I suppose. Dragon Ball has many incongruities. It’s like, when we know that Kamisama is from a planet called Namek, Poppo says that Kamisama has parents, but we see that Piccolo has a father, Daimaou, and no mother. So there are no parents, only father. And much more.

Finally, I don’t expect that you revived Goku and the others. As you say, Dragon’s power has a limit of one year. I hate the fics that revive all of them 20 years from their death in the Mirai Trunk’s timeline: it has no sense.

I only tell you, because I like the idea of Gohan living this timeline (I’m going to write some fics and one of them will be Gohan surviving Mirai’s timeline), but when I read I saw like a little trap that Dragon Ball disappear after Piccolo’s death. For me, if Piccolo has a son, Dragon Balls can’t dissappear until Piccolo and Kioku die. But I see your point and I accept it.

And you will finish it? I didn’t expect it, because your last update was so long time ago. I will read it.

Sorry, I have write a lot. I hope you will understant my English _

I don't know if you're going to continue this story and if you're going to read this review, but I read it today and I found it good

But there's something that I don't understand: I don't know if you didn't think about it or you simply ignored it. This what I'm talking about is the following:

- Dragon Ball: Piccolo's father dies, but before of it Piccolo is born. For that reason, God and Dragon Balls didn't disappear.

- In your story, when Piccolo dies, God and Dragon Balls disappear; but if Kioku exists, there must be God and Dragon Balls and Goku and the others can be revived.

That's all

from two years to one year apart updates. i'm surprised you still bother to update. i mean i've got the chapters to my fic saved on my computer but i just haven't had the will to post them for over a month -.-U

i hope this story keeps moving though, it's really good. i only havve one critism to make though; when piccolo tried to fuse with kiku he accidently let daimao fuse with him instead of kami yet he didn't seem to regret to deeply. i mean there wasn't any guilt or anything which i felt taht there chould have been. he was kinda like 'opps, oh well' but you know how you wrote about him reacting with gohan, it was a lot more feeling. is this becasue piccolo was actually kami at the time of fusing and therefore wasn't as feeling or thre's some kind of underplot that i'm missing or he's a lot closer to gohan than kiku or i'm just taking the wrong end of the stick? pwease tell me, i don't like being confuddled -.-U

i've neglected to tell you how i like your desclaimers, they're really funny. my fave has got to be chapter one. that was hillarius. (i pay attention to the weirdest things). i also forgot to tell you GREAT JOB FOR NO/NOT TOO MANY GRAMMAR/SPELLING ERRORS. checking takes so long and you never get any credit for it. well for me anyway, i take about 1 hour to type a two page essay and it takes me 2 hours to check and i still make mistakes with though/through/thought. :( it's not fair -sobs-

um where was i?

oh yeah, this is a really well written fic. i'v enjoyed every word of it. you're a great author and i hope that never changes. my fave part has got to be kiku's and trunks' funneral and also the flashback of piccolo's funneral. i'm not some kind of saddist or anything but i'm a sucker for sentimental stuff that isn't romance and involve my fave namekian and gohan

hope this fic is continued!

GAH! YOU MADE ME CRY -sob- congrats to the first author who made get the lump in my thraot, cry even thought i tried not to and even have the runny nose. ok so you're not the first but normally i skip the lump in throat stage so it doesn't hurt. that sounded a bit chessy -.-U but you know, when you get the lump in your thoat that lump hurts :(

i loved the bit with krillin and his camera. that was so funny. and the way goku reacted by sticking up his middle finger and even attempting to give a bit of a demonstration. and then he filmed kiku and made it sound like he and piccolo had him together. that was hillarius. and trunks reacting abouthis parents was so funny too. heck the whole video was funny with his doing his mission impossible opening.
