[Source]. 7 years after the defeat of Cell, through all of which he trained, Piccolo was informed by Gohan, who he was disappointed to see hadn't kept up his training, that Goku would be returning for a single day to meet with his old friends and family, and to compete in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament. Despite being excited to challenge his old rival, he resigned in the first stage after encountering Shin. From this point on, his primary role would be training Goten and Trunks, as even the weakest enemy during Majin Buu's attack, Dabura, could deal with Piccolo with ease. In the GT timeline, Piccolo would continue to get stronger through training, even surpassing Kid Buu. In the Super timeline, however, with ever-stronger threats like Golden Frieza, Piccolo would break his limits time-and-again, ascending past even the Gohan that put this era's Piccolo to shame.
