I liked it because it was one of the truest acts for a character in GT. I mean overall, this was probably the most emotional moment of GT.
Piccolo: "Gohan, can you hear me?"
Gohan: "Is that you, Piccolo?"
Piccolo: "Who else do you know sounds like this? And don't you dare say Vegeta, you little shit!"
Anyway, this particular scene didn't do that much for me, to be honest. Piccolo deserved a more glorious end.

Agreed, of all of his sacrifices this one feels underplayed and he should have had a more epic ending. It's a good scene, I won't deny that, a noble sacrifice once again, but it does feel...lacking.
It's an emotional moment for sure, even though it's somewhat sudden.
It made go what the fuck, so it was emotional and confusing to me all at once
I remember randomly catching this episode after giving up on watching the Baby Saga all the way through. Hated it lol. I suppose I can appreciate the intent of the scene but it's like, the only thing you could think to do with Piccolo is to kill him off? I've looked into this on the wiki, this is it, Piccolo only exists in GT to die. At least in the Buu Saga he was a mentor, he stalled Super Buu, and he got hard when spat on.
I'll rephrase my statement from "Piccolo only exists in GT to die" to "Piccolo only exists in GT to die so he could free Goku later". I guess it's nice that he didn't completely disappear after dying, but when his only two worthwhile moments in the entire series are rooted in him dying/being dead, it feels like he was only there to die.
I actually caught the episode where Piccolo saved Goku from Hell too, it was like the next one I caught after him dying. I think Goku was fighting Frieza & Cell. And to be honest, the thought that they only killed Piccolo off because they needed someone to save Goku from Hell almost makes it worse imo, and it feels like that might be the reason.
I never saw the Japanese version of GT, only the dub but I have a feeling the parts that annoyed me in GT would be less annoying.
I completly agree the English Version sucks! Especialy Pan she went from Bulma to Satan!
I just now realized the irony of that!
