"Since that's the case-"
Josen paused, the corners of his mouth lifting almost imperceptibly as some marvelous change took place within him.
After glancing at Son Goku, whose arm injury had mostly healed, he handed Son Gohan, whom he had carried the whole way, back to his father.
Son Goku instinctively took his son with his injured arm. Only then did he realize that the bones Raditz had broken had already healed, and a familiar sense of strength flowed through his muscles all the way to his fingers.

I've gotten stronger! And not just a little!
How had my strength improved so much after just one battle?!
...Could it be?!
