The Secrets of Orange Piccolo's Power Explained 

You missed a small detail. Early in the Namek arc, it is mentioned that Namek has a tradition revolving around the Dragon Balls. Strong Namekian warriors would gather and undergo trials to earn the 7 Dragon Balls during times of crisis to earn 3 wishes from Porunga. I think this ties back to Piccolo being a warrior Namekian who has undergone way too many trials involving Earth being under threat from aliens, more aliens, androids, magical pink blob, more aliens again, being transported to another universe, future god, full on erasure, magical goat who eats planets, and more androids. Piccolo has more than earned his wishes on the Dragon Balls because of his contribution in defending Earth. Shen Long was also originally HIS dragon. God, his other half, created Shen Long shortly after he dispelled the evil that is Piccolo from his heart. The fact that this being of pure evil would eventually become the ultimate force for good is ironic, but also counts as a trial for God. As we know, Piccolo is an amalgamation of 3 people: himself, God, and a warrior Namekian named Nail. Nail's trial was the entire Namek arc. He was the sole protector of the Saichōrō, or the Grand Elder. When Freeza came knocking, he knew he was outmatched, but he still went to fight him anyway just to buy time for the Earthlings to make their wishes. He then sacrificed his sense of self to Piccolo to give Namek a fighting chance in another Namekian who is stronger than him. As Piccolo, Nail's contribution in the defeat of Freeza was also nothing to scoff at. He singlehandedly kept 2nd form Freeza from killing everyone and bought time for Gokū to charge the Genki Dama. All 3 people which consists this Namekian we know today as Piccolo have more than earned their wish. God's evil half redeemed himself, Piccolo helped protect Earth countless times, and Nail gave his entire being to protect Namek. The culmination of these efforts give birth to Orange Piccolo, the ultimate Namekian warrior.

Bro, this is so on point! I’ve been saying for months that I believe that there’s some sort of “Dragon Realm”, and that this is where Zalama, Shenron, Parunga and other Dragons reside. With retconing the Namekians origins, I think that Toriyama has a bigger story he wants to tell with them, specifically with Piccolo. I believe by the time Super is over, Piccolo will have some kind of divine power/form directly linking him with Zalama and may even BECOME the next Dragon God.

While Yellow Piccolo is latent power unlocked which probably includes Kami and Nails, I think Orange Piccolo is a living dragonball, since he's also orange with a little red. The Dragonballs are sometimes a Namekian creation by essence, like Kami giving energy to the balls that maybe Shenron freed since he now has Dende as perhaps a battery, and part of their culture and the fact that a eternal dragon's power level depends on how powerful their creator is, that would probably mean that Orange Piccolo is a amplification of Yellow Piccolo's power. Kinda like the great ape of the saiyans when it comes to power levels. That maybe Piccolo has become a host of his own eternal dragon.

Regardless of the source of the power, we now have an established temporary species-based power-up for Saiyans, Frieza(s), and Namekians. WHERE MY SUPER HUMANS AT?!?

Bro. BRO!!! This is some high-QUALITY content! Saw your Goten and Trunks video and was curious about the rest of your channel. For such a new channel, it feels like you have been doing this for years. Love these videos and how indepth you go into old DB lore for a modern era. So exited to see any future videos.

What if namekians just react to powerups differently? Fusion is permanent. Maybe Elder guru was confused when Krillin and Gohan didn't orange out from potential unlock

I dig these video essays you've made. I just want to chill, vibe and obsess about minute details about Dragon Ball.

bro?! your content is so underrated what the heck, you did an amazing job on this. you laid out all the fundamentals and connected them to the present in such a great way. looking forward to more!

I think the Nakemiens where originally dragons. And over time like the saiyan apes the evolved to more human/bodily forms.

I love the focus on Namekians we've been getting lately, it really feels like we're building towards something, with Piccolo's newfound power and the recent reveal that the Namekians came from a different realm. They should go an arc with villain Namekians, now that Piccolo is strong enough to be a main character they can make it work

I have a random question in regards to the destroyer gods and supreme kai's. Beerus had stated that his life is linked to the supreme Kai, so if the Kai dies Beerus also dies. Does that mean all supreme kai's have a destroyer god linked to them? Does that mean the supreme Kai of time we know from XenoVerse 2 has a destroyer god linked to her as well?

Glad i found the channel look forward to your next vid!

wow, i did NOT expect you to only have 444 subscribers, this is awesome content, nice.

Piccolo always been 1 of my favs, the dragon gave him a big boost. Basically unlocking the rest of his potential and giving him its power on top of his own.

I would also like to point out, no wish ever in dragon ball has had something extra added. The dragon balls up to this point have been straight forward in the sense they do what you ask nothing else then they scatter... How odd

Orange Piccolo is so dope I didn’t know he was stronger than UI or Ego Vegeta🤯great vid🔥

The fact that you choose the Piccolo theme song from when he pledged not to let Gohan die alone fighting Cell and joined in knowing he was probably facing certain death… 🥹🫡

Wow, my mind is blown. Subbed! So the Dragons are "far realm" entities (in the D&D planescape sense)?

What if piccolo has 7 forms in total making him match the number of dragon ball. That would make him complete and orange is 2 of the 7 forms making green being 1. I think Blue should his next form

Well made video never would have guessed you had 1k subs

Awesome video👍✨

Also, being able to return something Zeno deleted doesn't make the super balls more powerful than Zeno. Zeno could always and easily undo the dragons return of the universes

if goku got his potential unlocked when he was a kid, shouldnt he have the mystic form too? also shouldnt vegeta be due to be unlocked and be much more powerful than goku? btw nowhere is stated that gohan and piccolo are near goku's and vegeta's current level

Since zalama is the only character to supercede Zeno, I theorize that he is actually the highest god of all, and Zeno is his creation. It bring up the question of how Zamasu was able to destroy the super dragon balls in the future, but if your theory is correct (and I hope it is) and zalama and the namekians come from another plane of existence, then the balls are just a link between worlds and Zamasu basically destroyed a key.

I'm not the first person to mention it but Zeno kinda comes across as the god of destruction to all universes, between the fact that the only power we see him use is erasing things, the fact that he has an angel attendant, and that he generally has a similar disposition to all the other gods of destruction we've spent any time with. If that's all true, I think Zeno may have a counterpart multiversal kai and the only being we've heard of that has comparable power is Zalama

very good video, wish you dived a little deeper. the movie brought back some old dbz movies and lore and made it cannon just like they did with broly. the tree of might, lets me cook right quick. Eating the fruit immediately increases the user's muscle mass dramatically, and the user's body then quickly recedes back to its normal shape. It is unknown whether or not Turles' body would have been permanently bulked up had he eaten all of the fruits of the Tree of Might on Earth. we see this with Piccolo's new form after seeing the divine tree on his back with the dragon flying around it. why did they choose to show this at all? ill explain, "large amounts of energy are required to supply the fruit's growth and the tree essentially sucks the life out of the planet the seed was planted on. Despite all this, the Tree of Might is not truly evil but simply requires such a massive amount of energy to grow. Few, if any planets can sustain it without dying. King Kai mentions that only Gods are meant to eat the fruits; in the Funimation dub, King Kai says that the fruit was originally meant to feed the Eternal Dragons (Shenron, Porunga, etc.). " i believe both statements are true just one elaborating how the dragons are from the god realm. As we see in the Cannon movie, the dragon flys around the tree hinting at them eating it or enjoying it also adding to the "add in something extra" comment. the Shenron couldnt boost Piccolo as high as he wanted to deal with cell max, instead they released his full potential which should allow him to control his god ki that he originally had as he was a minor god of earth or demon, take your pick Kami was a god the name means god. then Shenron added the ability to tap in to the power of the tree of might to boost his power even further than what the dragon can. this boost was a very smart work around.

Didn't one of the Namekians say that in times of need they ack shenron around for help and they get a boost if i find the manga panel ill link it

This is cool and all but I would have liked more of the focus to be on Piccolo learning Magic as the Demon King.

A BANGER HAS DROPPED - Light

Dende magic abilities are insane

What font do you use for your thumbnails?

If i were picollo i would wish for hitt's ability

They said on their Facebook at one point and said that broly is stronger then cell max and orange piccolo can’t beat him so piccolo can’t be stronger then MUI goku or ultra ego vegeta

Should be known as Giga Chad Piccolo

I love that they gave my favorite character, Piccolo, some love in Super considering how dirty they did him during Buu Saga. I just wish they designed him better, Orange Piccolo looks like a goon.

100% accurate and omegachadded up broski!!!

I love how they are expanding on the dragon ball lore. Long live Dragon Ball!

Somehow, Beerus is still stronger than all of them, isn't he? Remember when Beerus was hyping up SSG and they were both destroying the universe just by hitting each other? Toriyama, likely, doesn't. Even later when MUI Goku fights Moro, they can only cause a planet-sized shockwave from their clashes.

Namekian lore has the potential to be so deep but I know it won’t be written that way cuz Toei won’t let old man Toriyama write good stories anymore

wasnt Kami on earth for hundreds of years and wasnt Elder Guru just as old so could that potentially have a connection to Zalama

the same theory on dragon gods was in gt too. and even db f continued this trend after gt while its non canon

Seen people get confused by "Dragon balls are infused with the power of the creator" sure the dragon may have the same power level but possesses advanced abilities and knowledge that the creator does not

Well, this is what we're calling an asspull. Besides not making much sense to be unable to become this powerful, I don't believe piccolo of all people would be happy about freebie power like this. I'm on the edge about potential unlocked as well, but at least that power is still rooted in his own power.

Nice Ocean dub Piccolo music

i think the Dragon god Zamala might be Orange himself that is if Toriyama gets and his minions get off their lazy asses and do something about it other than movies every 4 years

Also the the Namekians can survive on just water.

Orange piccolo is the dumbest name along with beast Gohan. They really took a nap when deciding those names.

potential unleash and potential unlocked arr different things

What are you going to understand piccolo has called me and he has nail spirit and essence and power so his orangepower looks pretty similar to the namekian from universe 6 but they fused with almost everybody from The villages but they looked about the same except a little bit more green

what is that song on the outro?

Keyword, Samll Bonus. Not a medium bonus or large bonus but, a small bonus.

Android 17 vs Piccolo, one fight one hella fight ❤❤❤❤

whoa what, who said that the guardian of earth has always been a Namekian? It was my understanding that the guardian before Kami wasn't a Namekian. But the DB canon is shaky at best so maybe I missed a retcon or something

7:35 Killin, Gohan, *AND* Dende

Picolo can Ressurect Dead?!, With Unlimited Wish?!.

Dende isn’t shenrons creator, and never did anything state that piccolo was stronger than UI or Ultra Ego

Gets his attitude from Vegita

I'm gonna go on a bit of a tangent on this one. Zeno is the King of All, though it doesn't appear as though he has the power to Create. Serving him are Destruction Gods but there hasn't been mention of any Creation Gods. Angles do have the power to Create but they're heavily restricted and ultimately just attendants to the Gods of Destruction. They say that history is written by the victor; so maybe, Zeno isn't necessarily the "King of All" but instead, the Supreme God of Destruction. Which would leave someone else to be the Supreme God of Creation. Zalama has a Power that rivals that of Zeno, so he'd get my nomination. Similar to how Earth's original Namekian split himself into Kami and King Piccolo, perhaps Zalama split himself into the various branches of the Namekian species to counteract the effects of Zeno and his Gods of Destruction. With the exception of King Piccolo (which was pretty much our fault anyway), Namekians are generally thought of as agents of Creation. The multiverses do need to keep some Balance, so the Angels could have once been servants of Zalama but they now reside with the Destruction Gods to oversee some equilibrium. So wrapping all that up, the "something extra" would be quite literally connecting Piccolo with his roots of being a fragment of Zalama, the original Supreme God of Creation.

A couple things with this video. 1. Piccolo I believe is not UI and Ego level with his Orange Form. I believe he is more Omen/Blue Kaioken. 2. Dende didn't recreate the Earth Dragon Balls, he just reactivated them. The reason why Piccolo got the boost that he did, was because it was a symbol of passing. The Dragon truly became Dendes after that. Shenron gave back the power that was originally given to him by the Original Namekian that created him. Which also supports what people say that if Piccolo was Fused/was his original self he wouldn't have a problem with Frieza. But great video man keep up the good work 👍

Wild

this probably would've been useful during the cell games....

They used the same statue if popo didn't keep the stone Shannon he would have needed to start from scratch

Big Green becomes Big Orange!

This whole video is "see what happens when you do your research"

i know omni king doesn't have strength himself but no one attacking him all it takes is 1 click with his fingers to erase anything would be cool if gave himself strength he is the omni king so he probrbaly can just give himself the strength all we know he may seem super weak but he could actually be super strong as it would be a funny plot twist i mean look at the gag charcter in dragon ball aria was it she was very thing and small yet she could slap saitama about lol

Can someone tell me where to read comics?

Ok you explained a lot but still how was Shinron was able to boost piccolo powers by so much?

I agree with absolutely everything this video offered, Except the fact that with these new forms Orange and Beast , Piccolo and Gohan surpassed Goku, Vegeta and Broly. I refuse without concrete evidence, (and no, silly interviews with some of the producers and creators of the film; specially someone as contradicting as the wonderful Toriyama; saying something to please and confused the fan base dont count) that without a proper showing from the manga or the anime series, that effectively they can beat these 3 in a match, i will remain believing that they at the very best, reached This 3 Saiyan's level. Goku and Vegeta are training their Ultra forms, we dont even know how powerful Broly's best form matches with the ultra forms, since it took a fusion to stop him, im gonna put money on that broly is at least as powerful in Lssj as Jiren at full strength. So this would mean that both Ultra forms can stop legendary Broly, with effort, not toying around like Gogeta blue did. As per Orange Piccolo and Beast Gohan, i cant accept that a scientist created a being (cell max) more powerful than gods and members of the Justice Troopers, Jiren, Hit, Moro, Granolah and Gas. As reference, Piccolo and Gohan in the ToP werent even as powerful as Ssj God, let alone Blue, Blue evolution, Omen UI, Autonomous Ui, UEgo and now what ever true UI is. Are we supposed to accept that they jumped pass all the levels of these forms and other antagonist levels? In the span of one movie?. I believe they both got very close yes, but to say the word Surpassed so easily, nahhh. I need to see clear evidence first.

Gold piccolo is stupid. The fact that everyone now has color coded power ups really drives home how they lost the ability to tell you whos stronger without giving them a new color. piccolo used to be a demon

I'm not so sure the super dragon balls could make you more powerful than Zeno or anything like that. Technically supposed to grant any wish but at the end of the tournament of power the grand priest seemed pretty confident that anyone who made a selfish wish would've been wiped out with ease by Zeno. I'm sure they already thought of someone wishing to destroy Zeno or be stronger than him or the grand priest. So maybe some limits to the super dragon balls.

Super Kami Guru

Piccswole.

I wonder why they don’t cover this themselves? Marketing is so odd

3:32 I only watch the anime so im not 100% sure arent they still using the balls Kami/Piccolo made didnt dende just repair them or something ? Piccolo is still The dragons Master / Creator as for more evidence the dragon is still the same 1 as before with the same name 🤓👍

I think the omni king is a god of destruction 🤔

Goku didn't summon zeno to universe 10 to destroy zamasu.. they were on earth in the future 4:27

Did both o seriously say that orange picalo beats TUI goku

Or all fictional stories are a game of mother may I from the author.

Who TF told you orange Piccolo was stronger than UI Goku & UE Vegeta....? That's very dumb and just an assumption.

well there was a namekian god so picalo does have a high potential to accend i mean look at what the dragon god that created that insane univer size like dragon and planet size dragon balls i bet he's like first ancestor of the namekians

2:08 where is that stated? That is just a fan theory nothing more. Don't say it as if it's fact. Also you didn't explain anything in this video.

Bringing dragonball back was a mistake

His secret is horrible CGI graphics

I would say over all good but you called gohan mystic

Brother answer to all y'all stuff is day do not care about y'all the fans they just write stuff was convenience for making money and making a good movie or show they don't care about the old s*** in the past that's the past look at the tournament of power he used to be a time if you wasn't strong enough you wasn't able to keep up with the fighters but all of a sudden krillin piccolo and he's lower life-forms can keep up with Goku stop it that's trash dragon Ball super is just a
