Damn so close but yet so far away! At least they managed to get Piccolo on Namek, but now that Frieza catched up to them and Goku still in the healing cabine I wonder what will happen next!

Even if Guru didn't die I highly doubt that Porguna could have granted Vegeta immortality. The wish has to be within the power of the Dragon Balls' maker and I doubt Guru can make anyone immortal.

Yes, Tenshinhan and Yamucha can be brought back to life with Earth's Dragon Balls, but Chaozu unfortunately no - he has already been resurrected once.

Piccolo is back and he is on Namek! The third wish was eternal life for Vegeta. But the Grand Elder Guru died before the wish comes true. So Vegeta is mad! And just in this moment, Frieza arrived and he's mad, too!

Still don't really understand Vegeta/Frieza wanting to wish for eternal life/immortality.

Sure, you can't die. Cool. But, you aren't exactly stronger. Frieza doesn't really need to improve but Vegeta... what did he plan to just take a beating a few times and power up until he's strong enough?

10/10 Strategy right there...

Hurry up Goku, "about an hour" has passed already :/ I guess this it'll be like Goku's "10 minutes to arrival on namek". >_>

Even if Vegeta did get eternal youth and immortality, he wouldn't be invulnerable? He could still be killed, he just wouldn't die of aging.

Also, great job Piccolo on going to namek to get a chance to die again immediately and waste the dragon balls on Earth.

I can't tell if I'm happy that Vegeta didn't become immortal, or sad that he didn't. Well, he's mad at them now so this can't be good...

At least Piccolo is back! He'll be a formiddable ally among the Z warriors against Frieza, who we're about to see fight Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan.

Also rest in peace Guru.

So all the work and pain only to resurrect Piccolo and bring him to Namek? Its good Earths God and DBs are back but Piccolo should be weak as fuck right now shouldnt he? How can he help vs Freezer?
Last time Piccolo died vs freaking Nappa (4.000 Strength).

Btw it was funny how Piccolo was yelling at TenYaCha over at Kaio.

Vegeta so close to fulfill one of his maingoals but Guru had to die shortly before. Also he cant awaken strength for Goku and/or Piccolo.

This was intense. The wait for a third wish to be made, while Frieza was moments away to get to their designated position, was nervewracking. To be fair, their predicament is understandable. Vegeta isn't what I would accurately call a trustworthy individual, for the time being. But at least, he is the lesser evil to Frieza, that much is certain. Krillin acknowledged that fact. Although, for better or worse, Guru peacefully passed away at the most opportunistic chance for Vegeta. Well, Vegeta isn't a happy man right now, to say the least.

Piccolo is back! Yes, one of my favorite characters in the series so far. I am curious, though. He may have become stronger due to King Kai's training, but his newly attained strength is very much minuscule compared to Frieza's all-encompassing fearsome power. From the look of things, it seems like Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan have to go up against Frieza until Goku wakes up. Oh, I am looking forward to seeing if their combined effort will put a dent, no matter how small, on Frieza's armor.

Oh my, this episode was intense. I was curious as to what Piccolo was going to tell Gohan, and then I remembered that if Piccolo was to be resurrected, God would too. It's interesting how only one person can be resurrected at a time on Planet Namek though, contrary to on planet earth. Isn't the wish-granting-dragon supposed to be stronger on its homeland, or is this simply the consequences of there being two extra wishes? In any case, it seems the elderly Namekian guru died right before the final wish was granted. I'm glad, Vegeta isn't exactly the most trustworthy one. Him being immortal wouldn't go anywhere positive.

Maybe immortality isn't a wish that can be granted, Guru wasn't immortal, for example.
