God restored Goku's body when it was granted to him the first time, which is why it didn't have a hole in its chest. He might also have dressed Goku in the weighted clothes.
Not sure about the second time, though. Maybe Kaio-sama fixed the damage after...fixing the damage to himself...I don't know.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.He's a divine entity. He can probably bestow that right upon himself.
You're right, that is a great scene, though.
The ability to repair a body when granting it to a soul under special circumstances is unquestionably within the capabilities of those divine entities who oversee the afterlife. We've seen the evidence of that. I was just questioning how long it takes, but it can't take very long given your point about Goku during the Cell Games.
Somebody spruced his body up quickly enough for him to be right back in contact with Gohan in just a little more time than it took Cell to regenerate and come back. Given those time constraints, it would definitely be possible to repair Gohan's body and send him off post-mortem to fight Pure Buu.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'm a little surprised Cell didn't stay in Otherworld afterwards.
I mean. I'm not that surprised, because of course Cell would want to show off his new improvements and beat up Gohan for challenging him, but.
He could at least have said hi to King Kai.
It's rude to blow up someone and their house without at least introducing yourself.
Even Beerus knows better than that.

Also, the ability to move freely between Otherworld and Earth. Probably other neat things like telepathy and... who knows what else.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Kibitoh Kai's instantaneous movement still uses energy. He could have teleported Gohan over after revival, but by the time he had gained enough stamina to do so, he would have been dead.
Yes, that bugs me that people rag on Goku for forgetting his sons when he still saved Dende, who is kind of important and Vegeta didn't grab anyone. Did I ever mention Vegeta doesn't really appeal to me?
But anyway, a much sillier name to me than whatever the disputed name for Gohan is, is Genki Dama. "Energy coin", really? People complain about "spirit bomb"?
Buldogue's lawyerI'm giving Goku a pass on the first Crushing of the Potarra earrings. He was outright saying they would still need them and only crushed his after Vegeta destroyed his and made the single earring worthless.
Not rescuing his sons was an error, but they did need Dende, and he grabbed Hercule out of instinct.
Not much to say about the other stuff they did.
One Strip! One Strip!I always liked the idea of an alternate universe where Demon King Piccolo died without having Jr and Kami died also. Goku would take up the mantle of Kami out of guilt and Popo would train him in the ways of God. The result being a slightly weaker (he might not even have Super Saiyan 3) but more mature and responsible Goku with God powers.
You mean a monumentally weaker Goku.
And also lots more dead people. 'Cause no Dragon Balls ever again.
My various fanfics.At this point, they can probably throw a large planet as casually as a ping-pong ball. Wouldn't be too hard for them.
...I'm willing to bet at least one of them has become a planet, though. Being a magical crystal ball shouldn't cancel out having gravity, slowly pulling in space matter towards itself, and if given enough time, it might even have developed an ecosystem...

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!To be fair, when he found that out, everyone was busy getting their shit stomped in by Vegeta and Gohan had just turned into an Oozaru if memory serves. He didn't have time to feel guilty.

Gohan could have killed Kid Buu while dead, probably.
All Yemma would have had to do was give him a body.
I mean, Goku's otherworld body had his weighted training clothes, which he wasn't wearing when he died.
That body also didn't have a hole in the chest.
Then he had a body after Cell self-destructed. An explosion like that wouldn't likely have left Goku's living body in one piece afterwards.
