Recognizing that Goku is a Super Saiyan, Freeza is gripped by intense rage and humiliation. Gohan arrives at the spaceship Goku rode there on, and begins the preparations to escape. Saying that he'd choose death over defeat, Freeza tries to destroy Planet Namek?! Seeing this situation, Kaiō is dumbfounded. He then receives a transmission from the Earth's God! Since God is alive, Piccolo must be as well. Planet Namek has not yet exploded. But the time remaining is only five minutes...
 
Realizing that [[Son Goku|Goku]] would win in a fair fight, [[Freeza]] takes a new strategy: destroying [[Planet Namek]]. He can survive in space, but Goku cannot.

Meanwhile, [[Son Gohan|Gohan]] arrives at Goku's spaceship and leaves the injured Piccolo there. The computer, sensing his arrival, activates a view screen and he sees his [[Chi-Chi|mother]], the [[Turtle Hermit]], and [[Dr Brief]] for the first time. Against his mother's cries, he flies off to rescue [[Bulma]] and bring her back. On [[Kaiō's Planet|his planet]] in the [[Afterlife]], [[Kaio]] mourns Goku and his friends. But when he is contacted by [[Kami]], he realizes that Piccolo must still be alive! Although Freeza has brought Namek to it's end, the planet will not explode for five more minutes.
