What episode is "Piccolo's Return" in Dragon Ball Z?
"Piccolo's Return" is episode 76 of Dragon Ball Z.
Porunga, the Namekian dragon, grants wishes that revive and teleport Piccolo, while Vegeta becomes aware of the Dragon Balls' movement. A sudden disappearance of the Dragon Balls and the arrival of a dangerous foe heighten the tension.
Thanks to Dende, the Eternal Dragon of Namek, Porunga, has been summoned. Unlike Shenron, the Earth's dragon, Porunga has the power to grant any three wishes. Through King Kai, Piccolo tells Gohan to use the first wish to bring him back to life, and the second to bring him to Namek. The dragon grants these two wishes. While they are thinking of their third wish, Vegeta wakes up, sensing Frieza and learning that Gohan, Krillin and Dende have taken the Dragon Balls from him. Furious, he flies over to the trio, demanding that they wish for his immortality. Before they can decide what to do, Porunga suddenly disappears and the Dragon Balls reappear as stones. A heartbroken Dende informs everyone that Guru has died, and that the Dragon Balls that he created were gone with him. To make matters worse, the enraged Frieza has arrived.
