Comments: My goal was to get a pan cel of each of my three favorite characters.  And with the this addition I have acheived just that.  Never in a million years did I think I would aquire a cel from one of my favorite scenes of this magnitude.  A cel from a very key scene during Piccolo's last moments in DBGT. ::tear::  Missing the dog layer.

Episode: DBGT Episode #40 Earth Explodes!! Piccolo's Serious Determination.

Scene Summary: Earth is nearly abandoned, and the quakes are getting worse.  The heroes struggle to gets all of the animals aboard a CC ship.  Some dinosaurs won't fit, so Gokuu has to teleport them himself.  A news crew is sticking around until the last moment, and they run to the CC ship in a panic.  There are a few people left on Earth that haven't gotten on the ship -- Gokuu senses their ki's, and teleports out to save them (a drunk, a shipwrecked couple, and a meditating hermit.)  Gokuu brings them back to the ship.  A farm couple had been struggling to save all of their animals, and they finally succeed.  But, they forgot about their son and pet dog.  The ship takes off.
   The boy and his dog almost get killed as they fall into a chasm when the Earth gives its final heaves.  They are saved by Piccolo.  Gokuu zips in, takes the boy and dog, and tries to teleport back to the ship. However, the SSJ4 wears off, and Gokuu turns into a boy again. He can't teleport as a child.
   Piccolo replies "You are Son Gokuu.  There is NOTHING that you can not do."  Piccolo zaps Gokuu, giving him the ability to teleport even when he is a child.  He teleports to the ship.  But, he realizes that the demon is still back in the molten core of the Earth.  The ship lands on Plant, and Piccolo contacts Gohan.  The Namek says that Gohan has grown up to be a fine, strong man, with a very fine Kamehame-ha.  He also says that he is going to die when the Earth explodes, so that the Ultimate Dragon Balls (Black Star Balls) can never be used again.
   Gohan-Baby's Kamehame-ha didn't actually kill Piccolo, but it came very close.  The Namek still has a severe oozing hole in his stomach. Finally, the Earth blows up and Piccolo dies.  Gohan cries.
