At the moment Piccolo is most powerful Frieza's opponent.
That Nail talk was okay, but flashbacks were unnecessary.

Sweet development, really liking the overall power of Piccolo, but I just wonder what taking Goku so long...

Piccolo hyping himself up was so cringe-worthy, dear god.

King Kai's VA this season still bugs me...

I hope he doesn't have any lengthy dialogue :X

Looks like the previous episode title rains true, Piccolo the Super Namek.

With that aside though, Goku... hurry up. You're getting quite comfy in that isolation station. >_>

Gotta love when someone in DBZ blasts the crap outta somebody else and all the spectators are all like "Oooo...that MUST haave killed him!!!" and then the smoke clears and they're just fine!

Piccolo is actually kicking Frieza's ass! However, I don't think it will last for long. Frieza will most certainly gain the upper hand by either transforming again or using a hidden power to defeat him. Either way, Goku will probably return by then to fight Frieza and prove to be an even stronger opponent than Piccolo.

Why hasn't Goku healed up yet? It's definetely been an hour by now, he should be back in the fight. Also, I know I should have asked this a few episodes ago, but why was Vegeta ill back before the dragon was summoned, and how did an hour's rest cure him of it.

Ok, so lets see.

Freezer is at 1.000.000 of Strength.
Piccolo fuses with Nail who had 42.000 of Strength. And Piccolo himself had at max 20k imo after Kaio training. Simple math: 20.000+42.000 = 62.000 round about, lets just say 70.000.

We have 70.000 vs 1.000.000 if we go by logic. But here we have Piccolo being just as strong as Freezer. WUT THE F?

Can someone explain this inbalance of logic to me? How the hell did Piccolo increase that much with the fusion?

Oh and Vegeta is totally lost now, lol.

This is so surprising. Piccolo is keeping up with Frieza, who has a power level of about a million, even going as far as to cause him a fair amount of damage. Does that mean Piccolo has, approximately, near Frieza's power magnitude? What is going on? This is crazy. Are all fusions like this?

Speaking of which, fusions, besides the gigantic strength boost it hands out, sure are interesting. The individuals in amalgamations retain each other's memories and can switch persona at any given time. Now, the question is, do their personalities also get mixed? I can't tell yet.

Another thing, I have never seen Vegeta so terrified like this. The closest instance I could recall was his shock and slight fear at his time on Earth fighting the Z warriors and his presumed impending death, but not to such an extent. Vegeta is truly petrified of Frieza. It is odd seeing such an imposing, aggressive figure cowering in fear.

One thing that cracked me up in this episode is Yamcha thinking he could take on Frieza. Ah, it seems like even death can't curb his massive, unwarranted ego.

Now, this is impressive. Piccolo is actually standing a chance against Frieza. Is this the result of the fusion, I question... We did get some Nail flashbacks as well, specifically, the ones with him struggling badly. Shows that their combined strength is far superior. I find it a bit silly Frieza is so quick to judge though. Says something about his confidence.

vegeta be like "surviving is also winning"
he fled because he knows he can't win.
(which i can understand... but it's cowardy on his part since he likes to brag he's so tough) . Die in honor amirite?

Kind of freaky that Nail can still talk lol. Loved this fight though, Piccolo deflecting that attack at the end there was great.
