Ep. 39: Piccolo Reborn! Frieza's Second Transformation!

39

Enhanced by merging with Nail, Piccolo engages Frieza in a balanced exchange before realizing the tyrant holds a slight advantage. Discarding his weighted clothing, Piccolo turns the tide and forces Frieza to retreat. Desperate, Frieza undergoes another transformation into a grotesque third form, quickly regaining dominance and assaulting Piccolo with rapid finger beams. As Gohan rushes to save his mentor, Krillin attempts to intervene but is halted by Vegeta. Vegeta reveals he possesses a specific strategy capable of defeating the tyrant, preventing Krillin from acting rashly during the critical moment of the battle.
