Fun fact: Piccolo is Akira Toriyama's favorite character. This movie was made to make him the protagonist, and show the love and respect Piccolo deserves.
To be fair Piccolo was probably jobbing to get Gohan riled up. While he wasn't stronger than Cell Max. Odds are he could have done far better if he was actually trying to win on his own.
I always thought it would be rad if Frieza was actually killed by Piccolo on Namek after fusing with Nail. A twist in the story that Frieza was more concerned with the Saiyans and didn't spare a thought for the natives he butchered to get the Dragon Balls, only for that to be his undoing. Then his father emerges from the shadows to be the antagonist that ends up fulfilling the Super Saiyan legend.
@@XxS__A__M__FxX It's the theme that plays in Dragonball during Demon King Piccolo vs Kid Goku & early Piccolo Jr vs Goku fights. However Piccolo we know has a slight tweak to his to emphasize the difference from his father.
He wasn't. He was the same level as Goku in Raditz Saga and until Cell Saga he was the second best fighter until the broken Super Ultra Mega Blaster Sayan Saga start with powerups exploding like "I will train 5 minutes and my power will increase 8 times".
From wanting to kill Goku out of revenge for his father, to saving a random boy and his dog from the Earth exploding, as well as willingly dying with the Planet so the Black Star Dragon Balls cannot be used again, Piccolo is really one of the best examples of a villain becoming a hero.
I just realized that Piccolo holding down Cell Max correlates... or was probably redemption for him having to kill Raditz alongside Goku when he had to hold him down.
Piccolo's that one party member that think's he's the hero and always dives headlong into fights, but all that ever accomplishes is giving his friend, the -real- hero, time to prepare himself to sweep.
Given Piccolo is Toriyamas favorite character, it baffles me he didn't do like a mini manga series all around him, or his father for that matter. Or even how he grew up in the years between Goku defeating Piccolo Daimao up to the Budokai. But hey he got the service he deserves. Toriyama was big on giving something to Piccolo in the upcoming movies/series' and voilá we got it.
Damn, I just realized… In order for Piccolo to reach the protagonism, he had to become orange. Who wears orange clothes? The protagonist. The key to protagonism is being orange!
Dat's my boy! I was always a Goku fan as a kid then a Vegeta fan as a teen. Now however I have achieved true enlightenment and now Piccolo is the best.
Después de unas cuantas fusiones (que en realidad se sintieron como absorciones) y un cambio al color naranja,Piccollo finalmente pudo demostrar que vale la pena
@@Funny_valentineD4C la verdad es que espero que dragon ball esté cambiando a mejor. Ahora todos los personaes principales tienen su propia transformación única en vez de ser "goku o gohan alcanzan un nuevo ssj, todos los saiyans relevantes en la siguiente saga lo tienen", así que creo que va a dejar de ser el show de goku
