The golden-purple aura vanished with a whoosh, revealing a face that stunned Bulma, Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Krillin, Chiaotzu, and Puar.
He had black hair and black eyes, and his features bore a ninety-percent resemblance to He-El's—broad, handsome, and striking. Yet his furious bearing suppressed a deep sorrow. His eyes were fixed on Bulma, who had poked her head out from behind He-El's back, and tears filled his reddened eyes.
