Dragonball Z episode 148
title: Tenwo saku gekiretsu koudan!  Piccolo vs jinzou ningen 17 gou
      [The heaven splitting violent light beam!
       Piccolo vs Cyborg number 17]
aired: 1992.07.15

While Goku and others were at Kamisama's place for their training,
the cyborgs arrived at Kame House.  Since Piccolo wouldn't tell them
where Goku was, Piccolo and the cyborgs went to a nearby island to
fight it out.

Number 17 said, "If you don't talk, I will kill you this time."
Then Piccolo answered, "It won't be as easy as last time."

Before the fight began, Piccolo noticed that number 18 and number 16
weren't going to fight.  So Piccolo thought that he had a chance.
Piccolo raised his ki very high before attacking.

Even at Kame House they could feel Piccolo's ki.  Everyone was very
surprised at how strong Piccolo had become.  But Kuririn said that
Piccolo could be much stronger.

At Kamisama's place, Goku and Gohan felt that Piccolo was going to fight.
Gohan wanted to go.  But Goku stopped him.  Goku said that they weren't
strong enough and would just get in the way.  It was getting close to
the time when Vejiita would come out of the room.

Just before Piccolo attacked, number 16 yelled out that it wasn't
Piccolo.  Number 17 was surprised, and Piccolo attacked.  Piccolo got
some punches and kicks into number 17, and they started close range
fighting.  It was an even match.  Piccolo had a slight edge and was
pounding number 17.  Number 17 couldn't believe it.

When number 17 had just gotten up from the ground, Piccolo fired a huge
energy blast at him.  But number 17 flew into the air and avoided it
just in time.  There was blood coming from number 17's mouth.

At Capsule Corporation, Bulma and her father were trying to figure out
the secret of number 17.  But it was too complicated and Bulma couldn't
make the device to stop number 17.

Piccolo and number 17 started fighting again.  Piccolo started firing
energy bolts at number 17.  Piccolo missed with most of his shots.
Then number 17 deflected on of the shots.  Piccolo was surprised.
Then they started close fighting again.

Number 18 was getting impatient.  She yelled at number 17 to hurry up.

Number 17 said that his "number 1 in the world" power was nothing like
that.

Piccolo started firing more shots and all of them missed number 17.
Number 17 asked where he was aiming.  Piccolo had shot all around
number 17 and the energy balls had surrounded number 17.  Piccolo said,
"You can't escape!"  Then Piccolo sent the balls moving all around
number 17.  The balls centered on number 17 and caused a great
explosion.

When the smoke cleared, the island had disappeared.  But number 17
was in his protective energy barrier.

Then they went to another island to continue the fight.

Cell was in another city sucking up more energy.  Then he felt Piccolo's
great ki.  He knew that Piccolo must be fighting against number 17.
Cell said, "My power is already beyond yours," and immediately flew
off toward Piccolo and the cyborgs.
