In the manga, Ginyu is never seen again after he hops off in his new frog form. The anime adds filler of him briefly switching bodies with Bulma, then later getting zapped to Earth along with everyone else, where he settles down…a thread the DBS anime picks up on
Speaking of logistics, if you’re wondering how all the Namekians can hang out at Capsule Corp, keep in mind that there was only about 100 of them (even fewer now, since Tsuno’s village wasn’t revived). Obviously the late Great Elder was big on family planning.
The wishing logistics are spelled out by the narrator in the manga, while in the anime we get to see it happening. Notably, the significance of the 130 day recharge period is unexplained in the manga, with the anime adding that it’s the length of a Namekian year.
On an unrelated note, around March of 763 is when Goku would’ve been finally ready to leave the hospital following his battle with Vegeta, if Yajirobe hadn’t come by with senzu. The doctor said it would take four months, and that he might never fully heal.
130 days after Namek’s destruction, Goku (probably still balancing atop that big spike) is contacted by Porunga, who wants to bring him back to Earth to fulfill Bulma and co’s wish. He politely refuses, saying he will eventually return on his own.
Goku tells the Yardratians about his role in the Ginyu Force’s defeat (and even the part Vegeta played), thus earning their eternal gratitude. They give him some of their native garb to replace his beat-up clothes, and he begins learning Spirit Control from Pybara.
It’s debatable to what extent this strip should count as canon, but it’s not like there’s much else to go on for assigning a date to the Namek arc. Regardless, this strip marks Lunch’s final appearance as drawn by Toriyama, outside of the odd spine image or two.
This is made extra clear by the nonchalant way Kaio tells Yamcha and co their resurrection will have to be postponed. They’re all A-OK with waiting a year, which of course would be rather foolish if the year limit wasn’t limited to large groups.
So once again, it’s on Day 7 when the shit all hits the fan. Vegeta catches up with Our Heroes, they team up to face the Ginyu Force and win (with some help from Goku), and this leads into the long battle with Freeza, which rounds out the arc (minus the wishing aftermath).
To recap: Goku begins a six-day trip on Day 1 of the Namek arc, the Ginyu Force start a five-day trip on Day 2, so both arrive on Day 7. In the meantime, Vegeta kills Zarbon on Day 3 and spends the next four days trying to locate Kuririn+Gohan as they head for the Great Elder.
