When the Saiyan arrive a বছর later, Piccolo's fondness toward Gohan results in him receiving of one of Nappa's attacks aimed to Gohan, which results in the death of Kami and the Dragon Balls. After the Saiyans are defeated, Gohan and others travel to Piccolo's homeworld Namek to revive those who died against the Saiyans with the Namekian Dragon Balls. Piccolo is resurrected on Planet Namek to help গোকু and others defeat the evil Frieza. Despite his massive power increase and going head to head with Frieza's সেকেন্ড tranformation, Frieza tranforms and Piccolo is defeated and severely injured দ্বারা Frieza, leaving গোকু to defeat him alone. Piccolo is restored to health, and waits a বছর until গোকু arrives back on Earth. He then trains with গোকু and Gohan for three years to prepare for a battle against two powerful androids created দ্বারা the Red Ribbon to kill Goku.
After being defeated দ্বারা Android #17 and Android #18, Piccolo seeks to unite with Kami, and gain another massive increase in power. After uniting with Kami, Piccolo becomes aware of a আরো dangerous threat named Cell. Before his সেকেন্ড encounter with Cell, Piccolo once again battles the androids, except this time he battles #17 one on one. After a somewhat even match, Cell arrives on the battle scene and needing to absorb the androids to complete his power, Piccolo is nearly killed দ্বারা Cell, and he is forced to participate in a Martial Arts Tournament created দ্বারা Cell called the Cell Games where he fights one of the seven Cell Juniors that are created দ্বারা Cell, who are later destroyed দ্বারা Gohan.
Seven years later, Piccolo acts as a trainer to Son Goten, Goku's সেকেন্ড son, and Trunks, Vegeta's son, and their fused form Gotenks. Piccolo trains the boys in fighting the evil creature Majin Buu, but is later absorbed দ্বারা Buu along with Gotenks and Gohan and incorporated into his being. He is later freed দ্বারা গোকু and Vegeta, and he later gives his energy to Goku's Super Spirit Bomb, which গোকু uses to defeat Buu once and for all.
In Dragon Ball GT he is severely injured দ্বারা Gohan while he was possessed দ্বারা Baby and later dies with Earth in order to destroy the Black তারকা Dragon Balls. He goes to Heaven but then requests he is sent to Hell in order to free গোকু when he is imprisoned there. He can be seen putting Hell in order and protecting the rulers there. In the final episode, গোকু stops in Hell to see Piccolo. He tells Piccolo that he will be leaving and that they are glad they met and teamed up. He also says that he has become a good friend and he will get out of Hell someday. They shake hands and গোকু leaves while Piccolo stays behind.
