Editing Shenron (section)

==== Cell Saga ====
Years later, Shenron is temporarily deactivated when Kami merges with Piccolo due to dire circumstances. Dende, who becomes Earth's new Guardian, remodels Shenron, allowing him to grant three wishes. However, because [[Dende]] is not powerful enough, Shenron can only fulfill two wishes if one involves reviving a large number of people.

After Gohan defeats and kills [[Cell]], the group goes to the Lookout to summon Shenron and ask for him to revive everyone killed by Cell. Shenron grants the wish, but Piccolo notices that he cannot sense Goku's energy. With one wish remaining, Yamcha asks Shenron to bring Goku back to life, but Shenron explains that Goku has already been resurrected once before, so he cannot do it again. Instead, Krillin asks if Shenron can turn [[Android 17]] and [[Android 18]] back into humans. Shenron explains that he cannot do so because their powers are too great, but he can remove the bombs implanted in them. Shenron grants this request and departs.
