five years later, piccolo is confronted by raditz. realizing the saiyan would thwart his plans for world domination, piccolo teams up with goku in an attempt to stop raditz from destroying the earth. when the two arch rivals team up, piccolo is able to defeat raditz, but at the cost of goku's life, as piccolo's move "makankōsappō" cuts through both saiyans. piccolo's subsequent conversation with the dying raditz, in which he reveals that the dragon balls can resurrect, is broadcast. piccolo remains amazed with the powers from gohan and trains him in preparation to fight against the two saiyans who will invade earth. early in their training, piccolo destroys the moon to prevent gohan from transforming into an oozaru and removes his tail. when the saiyans arrive a year later, piccolo discovers his heritage from them. piccolo tries to capitalize on gohan's increased strength but cannot due to the child's fear, convincing him to withdraw gohan from the battle and is knocked unconscious by nappa after trying to weaken him. piccolo saves kuririn from being finished off by one of nappa's attacks and once vegeta senses that goku is close by, stronger and could pose a challenge with the others involved and thereby orders their speedy execution, piccolo blocks another of nappa's attacks, this one being aimed at gohan, which results in the death of himself, kami, and the dragon balls. vegeta is initially unable to activate the oozaru transformation during his fight with goku thanks to piccolo's earlier deed. after the saiyans are defeated, gohan and the survivors travel to piccolo's homeworld, namek, to revive those who died against the saiyans with the namekian dragon balls. in the meantime, piccolo trains in the afterlife with kaiō-sama. piccolo is resurrected on planet namek to help goku and others defeat the evil freeza. he takes this time to merge with the beaten namekian called , giving piccolo a power increase. despite his massive power increase and going head to head with freeza's second transformation, freeza transforms and piccolo is defeated. after freeza reaches his final form and immediately kills dende afterward to prevent him from healing the group, piccolo, gohan and kuririn attack him to no avail. in freeza's following fight with goku, who tries charging a "genki-dama" to defeat him, piccolo is given the remaining energy of both gohan and kuririn, allowing him to stall for a short time. once freeza emerges from the impact of the "genki-dama" unscathed, piccolo is severely injured by freeza with a shot to the chest, leaving goku to defeat freeza alone. piccolo is taken from the battlefield by gohan at the warning of goku, as his death would render the dragon balls ineffective once more. piccolo is later teleported off the planet to safety on earth and after regaining consciousness, declines to return to a new version of namek as he wishes to protect gohan and become stronger while remaining on earth.
