How many fingers does piccolo have

At first, Piccolo refuses, but Nail explains that Piccolo will not lose his personality, he will only feel the power gained from the fusion. Piccolo reluctantly accepts, and after the fusion is complete he is amazed by his awesome new power and rushes to Frieza's location. When Piccolo arrives, he finds a battle in progress between Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta who had rebelled against Frieza , with Dende supporting them, against Frieza.

He then takes on Frieza, with the doubt of Krillin and Vegeta, who is in his second form, alone and is able to go blow to blow with him, even without removing his weighted clothing. Vegeta became shocked to find that the Namekian that Nappa killed with ease mere months ago had become so powerful. After a brief exchange of blows, Frieza transforms into his third form and assaults Piccolo with a large barrage of invisible and virtually unavoidable shots , crippling the Namekian.

An angry Gohan intervenes and blasts Frieza with a Full Power Masenko , but Frieza knocks it back, and Piccolo uses the last of his strength to deflect the projectile with one of his own before it can hit the young Saiyan. Frieza then begins his final transformation into his true form, and Gohan uses the opportunity to take Piccolo to Dende, who has the ability to heal others completely.

Piccolo quickly recovers, but he knows that he is even more thoroughly outclassed by Frieza's new form. Frieza begins his renewed attack with a single blast that kills Dende having seen him healing Piccolo midway into his transformation , preventing the warriors from being healed again; Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo respond with a joint assault but Frieza seemingly effortlessly evades all of their attacks.

Piccolo is then reduced to the sidelines, watching as a strengthened Vegeta attacks and falls against Frieza, helpless to intervene. After Goku arrives, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo get out of his way, and after witnessing Vegeta's murder at the hand's of Frieza, he watches Goku and Frieza duel from afar. He also implies that he would like to fight Goku when it's over, though only for kicks.

In order to buy Goku some time, Piccolo takes most of the remaining ki from Gohan and Krillin and jumps in to help, catching Frieza off-guard and kicking him in the head, giving Goku just enough time to finish the Spirit Bomb and launch it towards Frieza, seemingly killing him. Piccolo drags Goku's body out of the water, and meets up with Gohan and Krillin, celebrating. Just as our heroes rejoice, Frieza towers above them revealing to still be alive, and shoots a powerful beam meant for Goku in the anime only, for in the manga he intended to finish Piccolo and the others first all along, and as such aimed at him immediately , but Piccolo bravely takes the hit for his former rival and falls to the ground on the verge of death.

After witnessing both Piccolo being heavily wounded, and Krillin being blown to pieces by Frieza, Goku finally had enough and unleashed his hidden Super Saiyan powers. Gohan carried Piccolo off of the battlefield as Goku and Frieza clashed on the dying Planet Namek, with the former emerging as the victor.

Piccolo is healed by Dende who had been wished back to life along with the rest of the people killed by Frieza and his men after being sent to Earth by a wish made to Porunga. When the Namekians find a planet suitable to be New Namek , Piccolo declines to travel with them, and he stays on Earth with Gohan to protect and watch over the boy.

Piccolo does not desire the peaceful, therefore dull, life to be had on Namek and instead wishes to keep training in order to become more powerful. Main articles: Garlic Jr. Saga and Trunks Saga. Piccolo had to cope with Kami, his counterpart, sometimes getting hurt or tired, which in turn affected Piccolo during his battles.

He also faked being under the influence of the Black Water Mist in order to get close enough to Garlic Jr. Popo , and in order to keep up the act, he had to act like he wanted to kill Gohan. One year after the events on Namek, Piccolo sensed Frieza and another powerful being heading towards Earth.

Despair sets in on the group as they realize that there's little they can do to oppose such powerful foes. Soon after Frieza and his father, King Cold , land they are confronted by a mysterious youth , who reveals himself to be a Super Saiyan and almost effortlessly destroys the father-son duo along with their minions.

Piccolo and the others follow the youth, who tells them when and where Goku will be arriving. Just as the boy predicted, Goku lands and the boy converses with him privately, though Piccolo's superior hearing allows him to listen in. The boy, known as Future Trunks , is the future son of Vegeta and Bulma and reveals a terrible plot by Dr. Gero , a scientist for the non-active Red Ribbon Army , to create powerful Androids for the sole purpose of annihilating Goku.

The Androids soon spiral out of control, and after murdering their creator go on to destroy everything around them, making Future Trunks' world a nightmare where they kill all but a few tens of thousands [ citation needed ] of the population. They eventually kill all the Z Fighters with the exception of Goku, who dies from a heart disease six months prior to the attack of the Androids.

Future Trunks has come back in time to both give Goku the medicine to cure the disease and give the Z Fighters ample warning. Future Trunks then departs back to his own timeline and Piccolo, since Goku does not know how to tell the group what he had discovered, explains everything to the group, except the identity of Future Trunks.

The group then splits up to begin training for the oncoming threat, with Piccolo deciding to do his training alongside Goku and Gohan, which would later prove to have been a very wise decision. While training with Goku and Gohan, Piccolo also was forced along with Goku to take a drivers test so Chi-Chi would not have to do as much chores as a result of their training.

Piccolo had to wear human clothes, presumably to disguise his origins. He attempted to drive relatively safely, but his driving instructor, Cynthia , proved to be a terrible influence, as she encouraged Piccolo to drive recklessly while Goku was driving recklessly against his instructor's wishes. Eventually, they took a second attempt at a drivers test under a storm, only for them to fail the test a second time to save a bus full of children.

Main article: Androids Saga. Yajirobe drops by briefly to give the group Senzu Beans and, as he was leaving, his hovercar had been destroyed. Still not sensing their opponents, Gohan realized that, being Androids, they have no ki to detect and therefore must be searched for by sight. Piccolo and the others enter the city to search, but do not know what the Androids look like. They soon detect a large drop in Yamcha's ki and rush to the scene, finding both the two Androids and a critically wounded Yamcha with a hole through his gut.

Goku soon leads the Androids to a different location so that the city is not destroyed in their fight, though the Androids demolish a large portion of it before they leave. The Androids choose to fight in a desolate region filled with rocky hills. Piccolo surmises that they chose the location so that they could escape to the hills if the fight does not go their way.

After the Androids explain that they have been watching Goku since he defeated the Red Ribbon Army up until his battle with Vegeta, Goku attacks Android The Androids did not know of his ability to go Super Saiyan, and therefore his true strength. Piccolo is startled after Goku transforms because his power is much lower than it should be. Though Goku seems to be winning in the early part of the fight, he quickly loses his energy due to his heart disease and is eventually taken down by Android Piccolo and the others attempt to intervene, but Android 20 blocks their path and blasts Piccolo with his eye beams, sending him crashing to the ground.

Vegeta then arrives, kicking Android 19 off of Goku and Piccolo quickly gets back up, revealing that he was pretending to be injured in order to catch the Androids off guard. Vegeta then kicks Goku out of the battle and Piccolo catches him, setting him down so Yamcha can take him home and give him the heart medicine that Future Trunks gave them.

Vegeta and Android 19 then battle, with Vegeta revealing his ability to go Super Saiyan, and destroying 19 after confirming his ability to drain energy using the jewels embedded in his palms. Vegeta, severely drained from the fight with Android 19, acts as if he eager for a quick follow-up fight with Android Nervous of Vegeta's new power, Android 20 fails to call the bluff and flees to the hills, while Vegeta is restored with a Senzu Bean.

Piccolo and the others start searching the hills for Android 20, but Piccolo is soon ambushed. With Android 20 holding a tight grip over his mouth and draining his energy, Piccolo sends out a telepathic message to Gohan. Gohan is alerted to the situation and heads for Piccolo Jr. He finds Piccolo and smashes Android 20 off of his mentor. Piccolo receives a Senzu Bean from Krillin and states that he will fight Android 20 himself. Android 20 is taken off guard by Piccolo's speed, and he quickly hits the android with several powerful blows, which surprises the Android because he did not expect for Piccolo to be this powerful.

The Namekian finishes the battle with a powerful chop which takes off Android 20's right arm, while also referring to how he was formerly like Dr. Gero and consumed with the desire of revenge against Goku for his involvement in destroying a paternal figure of his, then sends him smashing him into the ground, badly beaten.

Krillin was astonished by Piccolo's power, believing Piccolo was extremely powerful for someone who is not a Super Saiyan. At this time Future Trunks shows up and states that Android 20 is not one of the Androids which caused such devastation in the future, having already seen the lifeless head that 19 was reduced into by Vegeta earlier. Bulma follows them closely in her skycar, and Android 20 sees his opportunity to escape and lets out an energy wave, destroying Bulma's vehicle and distracting everyone while he runs away, stating that he's going to activate Android 17 and Bulma informs the group that Android 20 is actually Dr.

Gero, who reconstructed himself into an Android, and of the location of his lab in North City. Piccolo then tells Bulma about Future Trunks, who at this point is already born in the main timeline. Gero's Lab and destroy the Androids before they can be awakened. Krillin finds the lab and alerts the others, but they arrive too late and the Androids are activated.

The twin Androids then display mutiny on their creator by killing him, and against Gero's wishes awakening another Android: Android Vegeta takes off after them and Piccolo and the others follow.

When they catch up, they find that Vegeta has been fighting Android 18 and is not doing so well against the female Android due to his declining stamina. Android 17 warns them that if they get involved in the fight, he will step in as well.

They watch the fight and though Vegeta seems to be on roughly equal footing at first glance something that surprises Future Trunks because he never knew his father to be so powerful Piccolo points out that Vegeta was tiring with every move and the Android was not. When Future Trunks gets involved with the fight after Vegeta receives a serious kick that breaks his arm, Piccolo also charges in, but both are quickly swatted down by Android When Piccolo gets back up, he charges at Android 17 who is choking Tien; when he reaches Android 17, he is felled with a single blow to the stomach that nearly tears through him.

I am The Namek. And as for you, well, you're history. Krillin gives each of the warriors a Senzu Bean, and Piccolo states he has an idea in the Japanese version and Dragon Ball Z Kai , Krillin asks if Piccolo has any plans for defeating the Androids, to which Piccolo barks angrily and lies that he was never their friend and is still plotting to overtake the world.

When Krillin asks what it is, Piccolo angrily snaps at him and then abruptly takes off to The Lookout. Piccolo does not need to explain to Kami why he has come, Kami having already read his thoughts that Piccolo wishes to fuse with him and become whole once again.

Piccolo rebuffs Kami, stating that they are not fusing on an equal level and will simply be using the old Namekian as a tool to become more powerful, stating that the only reason that Kami even exists now in face of all the converging foes is for the Dragon Balls.

Regardless, Kami is not opposed to the idea of fusing with Piccolo, but he wants to observe the situation for a while longer to be sure that his last decision is made for valid reasons. Piccolo starts to argue with him, but Kami counters by pointing out that even Future Trunks stated these Androids are different being "much, much" more powerful, for one, and for having spared their lives, whereas the future counterparts killed them outright , and that it was Vegeta who started the fight they just had.

Piccolo calls Kami a coward for his reluctance and waits on the lookout for him to make up his mind. When Kami learns of the recent arrival of a danger from the future far greater than the Androids, he realizes he has no choice.

With Piccolo serving as the base form, they merge into one being, becoming the nameless Namekian once again, himself stating that he was now no longer Kami or Piccolo. The bug-like creature claims that he is Piccolo's "brother", which shocks Piccolo, and the two engage in battle.

Piccolo seems to have the upper hand, but is taken off guard when the creature launches a Kamehameha at Piccolo, which shocked him, as the move was Goku's attack. As he was dodging the blast the creature latches onto Piccolo's back and stings his left arm, draining the life from it and rendering the limb useless and withered.

Piccolo headbutts the creature and breaks free, but claims that with his injury he has been defeated, luring the creature into explaining his actions. The creature reveals his name as Cell , and that he is a combination of Earth's greatest warriors put together by Dr. His purpose is to locate Android 17 and Android 18 and take their energy by absorbing them into his being so that he may achieve his Perfect form. Now knowing the creature's origin and intentions, Piccolo exposes his ruse, tearing the withered left arm free and growing a healthy one in its place, now prepared to resume battle with Imperfect Cell.

Future Trunks and Krillin soon arrive, and Imperfect Cell, now outnumbered, uses the Solar Flare inherited from either Goku or the technique's coiner Tien and escapes. Tien and Vegeta soon arrive and Piccolo explains the nature of Cell to them.

He and Tien then search for Cell as the monster travels from town to town absorbing people's energy , but Imperfect Cell detects their ki and then lowers his own and hides every time they get close. Piccolo begins traveling on a jet plane, piloted by Yamcha, with Gohan, Krillin, and Tien so that they can keep their ki hidden while searching for the creature.

While searching, a recovered Goku teleports onto the plane and explains that he has a plan for himself, Future Trunks, Gohan, and Vegeta to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in order to train for a year in span of one Earth day. He then takes Gohan and teleports back to Kami's lookout. Piccolo and the rest keep searching but Piccolo begins to despair, knowing that with each town Imperfect Cell attacks, his strength grows and the monster will soon be powerful enough to confront and absorb the Androids.

Piccolo and the rest soon return to Kame House. By good or bad luck, the Androids soon arrive, demanding the location of Goku so that they may kill him to finish their game.

Piccolo decides to use this opportunity to try and destroy them, thereby preventing them from being absorbed by Imperfect Cell. They head to deserted Tropical Islands and Piccolo learns that he will only have to fight Android 17, giving him a chance at victory. He and 17 are roughly equal in strength, and though Piccolo does not have the infinite energy of his opponent, he does have several tricks up his sleeve that prove an outstanding resistance, such as his amazing regeneration abilities and his variety of energy attacks, such as the Hellzone Grenade.

However, Cell arrives in the middle of their fight. With his increase in strength from absorbing countless humans from various cities, Imperfect Cell is now considerably more powerful than Piccolo, and on top of that Piccolo has expended a considerably large amount of his energy battling Android After 17 is attacked by Cell, Piccolo steps in to help, but is easily swatted aside.

Without any other options, Piccolo uses his desperation attack, the Light Grenade , and destroys the island that they were fighting on. However, Imperfect Cell bears no damage from the attack due to his superior strength, and sets his eyes on the weary Namekian. Realizing that the both of them can do nothing to defeat Cell, Piccolo warns 17 to run; however, he is interrupted by Cell, with one swift punch, which snaps the brave Namek's neck and takes him down.

Seeing no need to absorb him, Cell picks Piccolo up from the ground, blasts a hole clean through his stomach and tosses him into the ocean , leaving him for dead. Luckily, Piccolo barely managed to survive thanks to his regeneration and is soon rescued by Goku and taken back to Kami's Lookout, along with Tien who had distracted Cell to stop him from absorbing Android Piccolo quickly recovers, but with Imperfect Cell having absorbed Android 17 and now in his even more powerful Semi-Perfect form, he can do nothing but watch.

He also witnessed Perfect Cell's subsequent victory over Future Trunks and his announcement of the Cell Games , giving the Earth's defenders ten days to prepare for his tournament. Don't you see what you've done? Why couldn't you just listen to us for once Goku? We all warned you this would happen! You've pushed your son to his death! His death! Release Your Hidden Power! When Goku and Gohan emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Gohan requests for Piccolo to give him a copy of his uniform, which Piccolo happily conjures up for him.

He is also startled by how much more powerful Goku became with his mastery over the Super Saiyan form. Piccolo enters the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and, although becoming significantly stronger, is still nowhere near powerful enough to challenge Perfect Cell.

After he emerges, Goku asks him if it is possible for him to split with Kami again. Piccolo states that he can not, so Goku instead goes to New Namek to recruit a new guardian, and returns with Dende who takes the position and promptly reactivates the Dragon Balls. When the ten day wait is over, Piccolo accompanies Goku and the others to the Cell Games. He stays on the sidelines for most of the battle but speaks up when Goku, after first battling then yielding to Perfect Cell, volunteers Gohan to fight.

Piccolo states that no matter how strong Gohan had become, there is no way he can fight Perfect Cell. He criticizes even further when Goku tosses a Senzu Bean to Perfect Cell so that the fight is "fair". When Perfect Cell manages to grab Gohan in a bear hug and begins crushing him, Piccolo blames Goku for his actions, and prepares to enter the battle, even though it likely means his death.

Perfect Cell soon stops his attack though, deciding to target Gohan's friends instead. He soon spawns seven Cell Juniors , one for each Z Fighter watching the fight. Piccolo does well against the Cell Jrs, managing to stand his ground despite Cell's comment that only Vegeta and Trunks were able to fight back, while the weary Goku and the powerless humans are gradually beaten to the ground, but is soon overwhelmed until Gohan finally snaps and transforms into a Super Saiyan 2 , and defeats all of the Cell Jrs with ease, leaving all of the Z warriors to look on in shock.

In the anime filler Piccolo is actually shown to be the Z fighter who does a better job at beating the Cell Jrs, being able to assist Krillin, Yamcha and Tien for a while, however such filler goes against what happened in the manga. Gohan battled Cell and was able to not only outmatch Cell, but also cause him to spit up Android 18 and revert to his Semi-Perfect form.

Piccolo then witnessed Goku's noble sacrifice as he teleported himself and a self-destructing Cell who tried to blow himself up along with the Earth to King Kai's Planet, which was destroyed along with everybody who was present at the time Goku, King Kai, Bubbles , and, in the anime, Gregory.

But, Cell survived and became even stronger thanks to his Saiyan genes. He teleported back to Earth he learned how to use the Instant Transmission technique , and after killing Future Trunks, ensued in a Kamehameha duel with Gohan, who Cell had already weakened when Gohan attempted to save Vegeta from Cell's Death Beam. Piccolo, along with the other Z Fighters, assisted Gohan in the duel by blasting Cell with various ki blasts , as Piccolo was unwilling to let the person who taught him the value of friendship die all alone against Cell in the manga, rather than helping Gohan, Piccolo merely curses at his inability to make any difference in the situation, making it more of a surprise when Vegeta finally intervenes.

The efforts of the Z Fighters failed to faze Cell until Vegeta distracted him with an energy blast, which gave Gohan the time he needed to destroy Cell once and for all. Piccolo then lauded Vegeta on hitting Cell in an honorable move, but the latter just tells Piccolo to get lost.

Piccolo returned to the lookout, where he, upon being asked whether Gohan could come and see him again there, tells him he would bet on it. When Piccolo is informed by a now teenaged Gohan that Goku is coming back to Earth for one day and that they are entering the World Martial Arts Tournament along with Android 18 who has reformed and married Krillin , Krillin, and Vegeta, he decides to enter himself as well, under the alias of "Ma Junior" as he had previously done when participating in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament during the Piccolo Jr.

Saga of Dragon Ball. While there, Piccolo encounters a small purple alien who disturbs him deeply. When it's Piccolo's turn to fight, he faces the alien as his first opponent and finds that he is extremely reluctant to attack him, causing him to question just who this being is.

The alien responds directly to Piccolo's thoughts, telling him that he'll find out soon enough and that for now they should just enjoy the fight. Piccolo quickly surrenders the match without raising a fist. When they meet in spectators area, Piccolo asks the alien if he is Grand Kai , the ruler of the Kai's, a set of four gods who each watch over quadrant of the galaxy, the alien's companion responds that he is actually the Supreme Kai , a much higher being who is above Grand Kai.

Having much of Kami's essence, Piccolo is awed by Shin's presence and extremely respectful of his place on the divine hierarchy. During a later fight between Gohan and Kibito , Gohan's energy is drained by two very oddly powerful humans after he is paralyzed by Shin, who intended to pursue the two to see where they would take the stolen energy.

Shin then sets off to follow them, stating that any help would be appreciated. Piccolo immediately joins him, followed soon by Goku, Krillin, and Vegeta. As they travel, Shin informs them all that the two humans are possessed pawns of a wizard named Babidi and they are collecting energy to revive a powerful force of destruction known as Majin Buu.

Piccolo and the others are joined by a fully recovered Gohan and Kibito, and then hide on a mountain top near Babidi's ship and watch as he destroys the two human pawns as "their job was done". The Z Fighters are then attacked by the Demon King Dabura , whom Babidi has possessed as his strongest henchman, with a power roughly equal to Perfect Cell. Dabura quickly kills Kibito and spits on Krillin and Piccolo, turning them both into stone statues. I fought with both of your fathers in combat, since before you were born.

You two don't have a clue! Even the smallest bit of power can mean the difference between winning and losing! After an awakened Majin Buu killed Dabura by turning him into a cookie and eating him, Piccolo returns to normal along with Krillin, but Piccolo was in pieces due to have been accidentally shattered by Trunks while he was turned into stone. Fortunately, his head was not damaged, so he was able to completely regenerate.

On returning to normal, the first thing Piccolo senses is the awesome power of Majin Buu and in the field in front of them, he sees a badly beaten Shin about to be turned into a snack for the monster. He is torn about what to do, as his instinct is to aid Shin, but he knows that he can do nothing against Majin Buu. Before Majin Buu can finish Shin off, he was attacked by Vegeta, who was currently under Babidi's influence but able to completely resist his control , and states that he will destroy Majin Buu in vengeance for the monster's supposed killing of Gohan, shocking Piccolo with the news.

Piccolo watches their fight and barely escapes along with Goten , Trunks, and Krillin after Majin Buu unleashes his Angry Explosion technique. When Majin Buu resumes the attack on a badly wounded Vegeta, Piccolo is unable to prevent Goten and Trunks from rushing into the battle themselves. The pair manages to temporarily halt Majin Buu, smashing him through some mountains while his guard was down, and then attempts to aid Vegeta.

In the meantime, Piccolo confronts Babidi. Piccolo resists the wizard's Demon Eye and breaks his Wizard Barrier. When Babidi attempts to plead for his life, claiming that only he can prevent Majin Buu from becoming out of control, Piccolo states that it does not matter as they will not allow Buu to live even if he is not alive and chops the wizard in half, fatally injuring him and then spitting as a sign of spite.

Piccolo watches as Vegeta knocks the two kids unconscious. When he descends to Vegeta, Vegeta asks Piccolo to take the children far from the battle site. Piccolo realizes that Vegeta plans on sacrificing himself. Vegeta confirms this by asking if he will see Kakarot Goku's original Saiyan name in the afterlife and Piccolo states he will not, because Vegeta has committed too many evil actions before joining the Z Fighters to be on the same plane as Goku and he will instead be reincarnated, after his spirit is purified.

Piccolo, carrying the children, then retreats with Krillin until they witness an enormous explosion that Vegeta fueled despite all this, in an attempt to protect Bulma and Trunks, and "even Kakarot".

After the blast had died down, Piccolo hands the kids to Krillin and tells him to tell everyone else what has happened and then goes back to the battle site to see what has transpired. When he reaches the site, now a large crater, he pays his respects to Vegeta. He recalls about the time he had sacrificed himself to save Gohan's life many years ago, and bids farewell to the Saiyan Prince. He also finds a still barely alive Babidi, who survived due to his ability to conjure barriers.

As he moves in to finish him off, Piccolo notices the pieces of Majin Buu moving. They quickly shape themselves into full miniature versions of Majin Buu and begin colliding into each other, reforming the original Majin Buu. He makes a fast retreat, catching up with Krillin and informing him that they have to go to Kami's Lookout in the slight chance that it might offer sanctuary.

Goku who was rendered unconscious by Vegeta after a fight they had soon arrives after them and they trade stories, informing Piccolo of Vegeta's willingness to become Babidi's pawn in order to gain power and their subsequent battle. Piccolo says that Shin was right to fear Buu, and now the whole universe is in danger.

Piccolo realizes Goku could have fused with Gohan or Vegeta if they were alive and defeated Majin Buu. Popo suggests that Goten and Trunks can fuse, since they have near-equal power and size.

Goku thinks that's a great idea, and says he'll teach them Fusion until he has to leave, and then Piccolo can train them afterwards. Piccolo agrees, and Krillin gets excited at this faint glimmer of hope. However, Piccolo thinks that it will take a long time for the boys to master Fusion, and many innocent lives will be lost to Majin Buu in the meantime.

After Goku teleports all of his friends and family to the Lookout, Babidi contacts all inhabitants of Earth telepathically, stating that he wants the location of Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo. He then introduces himself and Majin Buu, before having Buu show the people his strength.

Babidi shows everyone an image of Piccolo, Trunks, and Goten again, and anyone who knows where they are had better speak up, if they don't want to be turned into candy and eaten. He tells everyone they have five days and then ends the transmission.

Piccolo is livid at this turn of events, and wants to go to Babidi and prevent the loss of more lives. Goku tells Piccolo not to talk stupid, because he needs him to teach the boys Fusion when he goes back to Other World. That's the only way to defeat Buu, and they can restore the people and the planet with the Dragon Balls. Piccolo agrees, and calms down.

When the boys wake up, Goku and Piccolo tell them about Vegeta and Gohan's apparent deaths at Majin Buu's hand and that they need to learn Fusion so they can avenge them. Goku says that someone can only use that room for at most two days in their life, and they may need it sometime in the future. As Goku begins teaching them the fundamentals of Fusion.

Observing the training, Piccolo shows disbelief at how strong the two boys have become. All of a sudden, Babidi transmits another message into the minds of all the people of Earth. Still seeking revenge against Goten, Trunks and Piccolo for assisting Vegeta during his battle with Majin Buu, Babidi informs everyone that has learned the location of one of his targets: The Capsule Corporation in West City. In need of the Dragon Radar located there, Goku quickly changes plans, and orders Trunks to fly home and retrieve the radar before Babidi reaches the city.

Goku informs him that he'll fend off Buu and Babidi, so they do not reach the city in time. Trunks zips from the Lookout and heads straight toward West City and his home.

Meanwhile, Goku uses his Instant Transmission technique to confront Buu. During the battle, Goku displays his new Super Saiyan 3 transformation, leaving the Dragon Team shocked. Goku informs Piccolo that Buu killed Babidi, as he cannot sense the evil wizard's energy anymore.

Goku says that Babidi got what he deserved and he knew would Buu kill him eventually. Piccolo believes that Buu will become peaceful without Babidi giving him orders, but Goku says that is just wishful thinking. Just as Goku predicted, Majin Buu goes on a rampage and targets the remaining Earthlings on the planet. Piccolo curses himself for thinking that Majin Buu would do nothing. Goku says that Buu enjoys destruction and killing at a whim.

Piccolo comments that if Buu wanted to, he could easily destroy the planet and kill everyone in no time. Goku thinks it is unlikely as Buu was excited when he told him someone stronger would come in two days and concludes that the Earth will be safe until then, though he feels sorry for the people of Earth. Piccolo says that Goten and Trunks will have to master Fusion within the next two days. Goku says that he probably has only an hour left of his remaining time on Earth to the boys.

When Piccolo asks how this is possible, Goku reveals that the Super Saiyan 3 form used up most of his energy and that it is something that should only be used in Other World as it uses way too much energy and exhausts the user completely in a place where time flows like Earth.

Piccolo suggests having Dende restore his energy, but Goku refuses as there is another reason he wants to go back to Other World presumably to find out if Gohan is really dead. Suddenly, Fortuneteller Baba appears and says Goku has only 30 minutes left and that he should getting ready to return.

While they wait for Trunks to return, Piccolo asks Goku if he could have defeated Majin Buu as a Super Saiyan 3, and Goku reveals he is unsure as Majin Buu's strength is incredible and he thinks its very likely he would have lost against Buu. Piccolo asks if he didn't go all out, was because of Super Saiyan 3's rapid energy consumption.

Goku says no and points out that as he is no longer a part of this world, it would be best to step back and leave the fight to next generation as you never know when an even stronger opponent will appear. Goku also admits their taking a risk, but after seeing Goten and Trunks' potential, he thinks it is worth a try. Piccolo says that he is putting the fate of the planet in the hands of children, but Goku counters that it wouldn't be the first time, referencing Gohan.

Piccolo tells Goku to give Gohan his regards when he sees him in Other World, causing Goku to say he thinks the worst thing about Gohan being dead is that he isn't able to see Piccolo anymore. Goku is surprised to find Goten and Trunks are more obedient and respectful than before, causing Piccolo to comment that it seems Goku's Super Saiyan 3 transformation had been helpful with motivating them into cooperating as well.

Continuing their training of the boys, Piccolo asks Goku if he's alright, because he seems tired. Goku insists he's okay, while Piccolo contemplates how much energy Super Saiyan 3 uses in the living world. Goku demonstrates the moves for the Fusion dance and everyone is speechless. Goku says they'll have to both do it with "left and right symmetry", but the boys don't know what that means.

So, Goku wants Piccolo to try it with him to show the boys, but Piccolo is quite reluctant. Nevertheless, Goku and Piccolo mirror each other's movements, ending up with their fingers touching. Goku tells the boys to do the dance now. Piccolo says that even if Vegeta were alive, he would never have done this, and Goku isn't sure why. As Goten and Trunks attempt to fuse, Goku strictly tells the boys to correct their movements. Goku tells Piccolo it's all up to him now, and the boys need to have Fusion mastered by tomorrow and Piccolo agrees.

Everyone gathers around and says their goodbyes. With Goku having returned to the afterlife, Piccolo takes over their instruction fully, correcting them on the mistakes they make when their Fusions fail the first two times.

When the Fusion works properly, he finds an entirely new challenge in trying to install some discipline and control in the extremely powerful, and equally arrogant, Gotenks. The first time they fuse properly, Gotenks goes after Majin Buu in his base form and returns to the lookout, badly bruised and battered but still alive. Piccolo scolds the young fused warrior for disobeying.

After Goten and Trunks fuse while in the Super Saiyan state, Gotenks rushes off to battle again, this time with Piccolo following him. Gotenks wastes a large amount of time demonstrating his speed by flying around the world dozens of times and even taking a nap whilst waiting for Piccolo to catch up, only seeking Majin Buu when there's one minute left in the thirty minute Fusion time limit. This causes him to separate before he can even face Buu, leaving his individual fusees to hastily escape before Buu can kill them.
