the take over the world thing was a lie because piccolo is embarrassed to admit he likes having friends

Very solid series of chapters here. The Androids all got to show off a little more personality and again, I like that they don't come across as evil, and them destroying all the Z Fighters, sans Krillin, is a pretty effective way to set up the stakes. Giving reason for Piccolo to use the trump card of fusing with Kami that Krillin mentioned. Considering Piccolo's backstory and the fusing with Nail during Namek, there's a nice sense of progression to Piccolo's power arc here. If the overwhelming defeat didn't lead to Piccolo's decision here, something that's been in the background for ages, then I'd probably be more critical here. Just making the opponents ridiculously stronger for the sake of dramatic stakes can backfire, so it's good that it was used to propel Piccolo's character forward.

the power balance explanation kuririn provided gives us true meaning to the new enemies. i mean, the fact that trunks who defeated frieza like it was nothing, but now he can't even touch the androids, just showing us how much toriyama levelled up the whole power measure here.
what bothers me though in this part is that the "sayan boost" is kinda forget in the sake for super sayan which already seems a joke lol.

I like that Kuririn get what's going on straight away. And that the unity with God has been something we've known as a possibility for quite some time.

Upon reading this arc again its kind of shocking how clear the editorial interference is. That continuity error with Trunks saying "watch out for 19 and 20" and then having no idea who 19 and 20 were is because Toriyama's editor famously said "What, the bad guys are some fatass and a geezer?" so they got swapped out in like 10 chapters. But then 17 and 18 got a similar reaction "So they're just a couple of brats?" and it looks like Toriyama couldn't establish a real reason for them to do anything so that's why they team wipe the good guys and then just shrug and wander off for no reason.

Not sure why Piccolo had to pretend like he was still a bad guy for like one panel. It didn't even fool Krillin or anything either.
