Resurrection

is a special power used by several characters in the Dragon Ball franchise.
==Overview==
It is the act of bringing someone back to life. In some cases, however, the act of bringing someone back to life will result in the person who did the act dying.
==Usage==
Through a special teleporting method, Baba is allowed to make contracted deals with King Yemma and is therefore capable of bringing a deceased resident of the Other World back to the living world, granting one full day's worth of life energy to the recipient. A person temporarily revived by this method retains the much higher resilience dead people gain while in Other World. This power however is not perfect, as when Goku utilized his Super Saiyan 3 transformation, its naturally advanced-draining nature on one's stamina and energy severely shorten his time on Earth. The temporary revival can be made permanent through Resurrection by another source, by doing so the higher resilience as a dead person will be lost in the living world. This technique was used to revive Grandpa Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza.
In the anime, Android 8 was formerly a Human-type Earthling who was resurrected as a Red Ribbon Android by Dr. Gero and Dr. Flappe.
The Eternal Dragons Shenron, Porunga, and Super Shenron are capable of reviving one or multiple entities if it is asked of them as a wish.
When Shenron is killed by King Piccolo, Mr. Popo fixes his damaged stone figure, and then Kami channels energy into it in order to revive him.
Dende uses his power to revive Shenron when he became the new Guardian of the Earth.
Janemba released all the residents of Hell in Earth, reviving them in zombie forms.
Turles revived the Beenz brothers Rasin and Lakasei from fossils, using extract from the Tree of Might.Akira Toriyama - The World "Anime Special", 1990
Hatchiyack possess the ability to resurrect people as Ghost Warriors by channeling their hatred of the Saiyans.
Old Kai revives Goku by transferring his remaining life force to the deceased Goku and it is mentioned that Shin also possess this ability as he originally intending on using it to revive Goku, but Old Kai offered to do it instead as Shin was still young (and was also life-linked to Beerus).
In Dragon Ball Super, under the direction of Beerus, Whis makes a wish to Super Shenron to restore the Earth of Universe 6 along with its inhabitants allowing his brother Champa to partake in the planet's food. Whis, via his Angel Attendant's Staff, is also capable of granting life energy at the behest of Beerus, which can regenerate and resurrect the target as shown when Whis resurrected Frieza as a gift from Beerus for helping in the Tournament of Power. However, as Marcarita stated in the manga, the Angels' resurrection powers are limited to reviving people who weren't killed by demons, which is why Marcarita couldn't revive Gicchin as Gicchin was killed by a demon.
Vegeta is capable of reviving some people who have been killed by Drain Life by sending their stolen energy back to them via Forced Spirit Fission.
Whis is capable to use Temporal Do-Over to travel back in time up to three minutes in the past, everyone that died in these three minutes will be back to life as their deaths are erased.
The Grand Minister is capable of reviving people, even those who have been eradicated from existence. However, the ability had some limitations, if an Angel were to break its laws. The angel would have to be revived as a mortal and lose their angelic abilities.
Dr. Hedo is able to reanimate corpses into Androids through unknown technological methods.
Android 17 and Hell Fighter 17 opened a portal between Earth and Hell where Hell's inhabitants can cross it and come back to life after arriving to Earth.

==Video Game Appearances==
Babidi resurrects Frieza and Cell in the story of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2, turning them both into Majins. In this game, Frieza and Cell remain alive even after Babidi's defeat.
In Cell's story mode in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, Babidi revives Frieza in order to get an opponent who would be capable of fighting Cell equally. Frieza's revival is only temporary and when Babidi runs out of energy, Frieza is sent back to Other World. In Gohan's story in the same game, Piccolo is turned into a Majin and uses his power to revive Frieza and Cell to help him defeat Gohan and Vegeta.
In Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, Janemba's reality warping causes the revival of several dead villains, and also several other off-screen people.
In Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road, Future Old Kai revives Future Gohan by sacrificing his life.
At the conclusion of the Hero Mode in Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, the hero asks Ultimate Shenron to bring all those killed back to life.
In Dragon Ball Online, Towa possess the power to revive people when turning them into Time Breakers, as displayed by her reviving and taking control of Cui and Dodoria.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Demigra uses the Dragon Balls to wish to revive the villains Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu back to life in Age 778 and possesses them via Villainous Mode.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Towa and Mira alter history so that Pilaf's gang do not use up the second wish when Frieza is revived in Age 779 allowing Metal Cooler to be revived along with his brother, enabling him to join in his brother's revenge against Goku. As part of the Legendary Pack 1 DLC in New Parallel Quest 145: "Other World Challenger", Whis resurrects both Pikkon and Frieza (Final Form/Golden) to participate in the Tournament of Power. During the PQ, a non-playable halo-less Pikkon appears as supporter and the Time Patrol is tasked with ensuring he and Team Universe 7 win the tournament. If he's health goes down lower than 10%, he leaves to rest up, leaving the Time Patrol to handle the remaining opponents. However if Team Universe 7 manages to defeat Jiren and Toppo (God of Destruction) with Pikkon's health above 10%, then the Legendary Finish is triggered where Zen-Oh and Future Zen-Oh decide to have the remaining members of Team Universe 7 fight to the last fighter standing, forcing the Time Patrol to defeat Pikkon, Goku, and Golden Frieza to complete the PQ.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Frieza (and by gameplay extension, Sorbet), Cell, the Ginyu Force and Nappa are revived by Android 21 using the Namekian Dragon Balls as part of her experiments. Additionally, one of the mid-game wishes players can make should they summon Shenron is to revive a defeated teammate, though only a random one will be brought back, and the Dragon Balls are made inert for the rest of the match afterward.
In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the player can collect the Dragon Balls and request Shenron to resurrect a previously defeated and deceased boss in order to fight them at a higher level and complete substories. This includes the likes of Frieza and Cell. The Resurrection ‘F’ DLC uses this as a jumping on point for its plot (hence the inclusion of the Ginyu Force, Zarbon and Dodoria).
==Trivia==
*In most cases resurrection tends to restore a person to life with their injuries healed. However old battle scars will remain, Saiyan Tails will not be restored if cut off previously, cybernetic modifications remain, blindness cured by Mend Beam remains cured, and members of the Frieza Race will the ability to function despite horrific injuries will be revived in the same state as they were before death as such injuries are not lethal to them.
*The Eternal Dragons ability to resurrect others may seem odd given that their creators are unable to do the same, though it should be noted that only their creator or another Dragon Clansman can resurrect them if they are killed thus it technically within their power to resurrect something.
*A Supreme Kai can resurrect others through Life Transfusion as noted by both Shin and Old Kai. However doing so can be dangerous as it could result in the death of not only the Supreme Kai but also their Universe's God of Destruction due to Life Link. However Old Kai was able to circumvent this as he was not linked to Beerus as he had been sealed in the Z Sword.
*During the Majin Buu Saga, the wish to resurrect all those that died to Majin Buu was made to not include the "really evil ones" like Babidi and Dabura. The revival of the likes of the Pilaf Gang, Captain Ginyu, the Duo of Robbers, King Nikochan, King Nikochan's servant, Sunglasses Crocodile, Barry Kahn, Pit Bull Pete, the Cell Jrs., Dr. Hedo as well as the members of the Red Ribbon Army after they had been killed as a result of Majin Buu's rampage indicate that they were not considered evil enough at the time to count and thus were revived, similar to Vegeta, who had been in Hell just prior to his resurrection.
