Ep. 80: Piccolo the Super-Namek
Aired on February 27, 1991
Frieza pins Gohan to the ground, crushing him with his foot, while Vegeta remains frozen in fear after his Galick Gun variant failed. Dende uses his healing powers to mend Krillin, who then severs Frieza’s tail with a Destructo Disc, halting the torture. Krillin distracts the tyrant long enough for Dende to restore Gohan’s strength. Despite their recovery, they realize they cannot defeat Frieza. Piccolo arrives and insists on facing Frieza alone, confident that his new fusion strength will allow him to win. Gohan and Krillin are confused by his decision, but Piccolo remains firm in his resolve to protect them.
