Ep. 40: Piccolo Makes a Grave Decision as Earth Explodes

Vegeta organizes the evacuation of Earth's population to the Tuffle planet using ships and Goku's Instant Transmission. Mr. Satan convinces the public that the planet is truly doomed to explode. As the final ship departs, Goku identifies four remaining individuals, including a boy left behind by his parents. Goku retrieves the child but encounters Piccolo, who has also stayed. Goku loses his Super Saiyan 4 form and cannot use Instant Transmission. Piccolo transfers his energy to Goku, enabling one last trip. Goku returns the boy, but Piccolo releases him and remains on Earth. He telepathically informs Gohan that the Black Star Dragon Balls are too dangerous and intends to sacrifice himself to prevent their future use. Following the planet's destruction, the group wishes for Earth's restoration using Namek's Dragon Balls.
