Ep. 45: Goku Urged to Flee Hell as Piccolo Executes a Telepathic Escape Strategy
Aired on May 14, 1997
Piccolo coordinates with Dende to replicate the escape method used by the two Android 17s. After multiple attempts, they synchronize an energy blast to open a black hole portal. Piccolo remains stationary to keep the gateway open, sacrificing his freedom so Goku can return to Earth. While Goku leaves, Piccolo plans to train against former villains. Back on Earth, Vegeta, Trunks, Gohan, Goten, and Majuub struggle against Super Android 17. The android attacks Dr. Gero because Dr. Myuu programmed him to obey only Myuu’s orders. With Gero removed, Super 17 prepares to eliminate the remaining fighters. Goku arrives just in time to shield Vegeta from the blast and confronts Super 17 directly.
