==Summary==
Yajirobe wants to know what he means about Goku's clothes getting tattered up there, and Goku asks if God's a dangerous person. Karin explains that he'll be tested up there, but he has faith in Goku. Yajirobe doesn't like the sound of that, but Goku's not worried. Using his Nyoi-Bō, Goku shoots up there, and Karin thinks Goku will be shocked when he sees God's face. Yajirobe asks if his face is that frightening, but Karin says it's not frightening, just familiar.
The Nyoi-Bō keeps shooting up, and then Goku finally sees the place. It's huge, and round, but flat on the top. It's like the bottom half of a sphere. The Nyoi-Bō finally stops, connecting in another big connector with a little hole in the tip, and Goku spots a ladder up above him. He swings up from the Nyoi-Bō to the ladder and climbs all the way up to the flat surface.
The floor is tiled, no walls or ceiling, and there's all kinds of nicely kept trees, and a temple on the other side. There's a guy standing in the middle of the floor, with black skin and big eyes and lips. The two greet each other, and Goku asks him if he's God. The figure responds that he is Mr. Popo, God's servant.
Mr. Popo compliments his work in defeating Piccolo Daimaō, and Goku asks how he knows that, with Popo explaining that God is omniscient. Goku looks behind Popo, and asks if that is God's house, and explains that he wants to go there. Popo asks if he has Karin's approval, and Goku shows him the little bell, and so Popo says he'll test him now. He explains that if Goku can defeat him in a fight, he will be allowed to visit God. Goku thinks this'll be simple and says to hurry it up.
Goku starts things off by using the Afterimage Technique, but Mr. Popo just throws a punch out and hits Goku in the face. Goku wasn't expecting this and tells Popo to get ready this time. Goku rushes at him, saying it'll be over with this one hit, but Popo just nonchalantly throws out another punch, with Popo expressing his disbelief that someone so weak was able to defeat Piccolo Daimaō. Goku gets angry at being called weak, and decides to get serious, to Popo's happiness.
Goku comes at Mr. Popo with a kick, but Popo vanishes, then appears behind Goku and kicks him. Goku flies toward a tree, then swings around it and flies at Popo with another kick. But Popo catches his leg, and then throws him across the floor, expressing his disappointment in Goku. Goku gets angry at being called weak again, and rushes at Popo, but Popo blocks all of his punches. Then Goku swipes at him, but Popo flies up over it and floats in the air, telling Goku that these tests are pointless, and that he should just go home.
