During Mercenary Tao's attack on Goku, Upa's father Bora is murdered. This death inspires Goku to stand up and become a stronger warrior through training. Goku later journeys with Upa to gather the Dragon Balls with the goal of wishing his father back to life. They are successful. Upa is initially terrified of Shenron, as seen in the "Shenron, Wish Dragon" card. However, "Upda, Father Revived" shows the happy ending to this story, when Upa successfully wishes Bora back to life. This makes Upa also commit to becoming a warrior.
