  • Without Piccolo's help, Gohan and Videl might have split up leaving Pan in a broken home. Let's talk about the Namekian's role in Dragon Ball Super Super Hero, his future and how he has become an important character in Dragonball again!
    So... this was a good year for Piccolo, wasn't it? I think we can all safely say that 2022 has been a very positive time of it for the Namekian, at a time where we weren't quite sure what the future held for this particular character. It's all been coming up roses for Piccolo. Think about it! The dude got his own movie, a new transformation (technically TWO!) as well as some adoration from Shenron...but you could easily describe this as bias since the guy who MADE Shenron in the first place is nestled deeply within the cranium of the new Kamiccolo. Nevertheless, this is the first time we've seen the dragon being that proactive with a wish and...I can't stress this enough...Piccolo WAS the main focus of the movie, Gohan was a relative afterthought, Toriyama having to be effectively PROMPTED to include Gohan in there from the other team members of the movie production committee, which included Akio Iyoku, who is the go-to guy nowadays for Dragon Ball content outside of Toriyama.

    In a very real way Piccolo is still following Kami's role of Guardian. Letting others do the work when they can. Gathering information. Motivating and advising others?

    That line change in the english dub makes sense for other reasons I work with kids and one of the rules is that we can't just release a kid to anyone who shows up. Each kid has a list of approved individuals who can pick them up and Piccolo would have to already been listed on Pan's paperwork. In other words by releasing Pan to Piccolo Janet and the preschool are free from liability for Pan's kidnapping.

    • @AnIdiotsLantern
      @AnIdiotsLantern 4 месяца назад

      He also has less likely to act selfishly . Goku will make dumb choices if he thinks he will get a good fight out of it, and Vegeta’s ego drives him to huge mistakes all the time. Piccolo is part of the Guardian of earth, and he keeps at least part of an eye on the big picture

  • @KentuckyKaiju
    @KentuckyKaiju Год назад +55

    A but of a tangent, but I never thought about Piccolo as more than just Gohan’s mentor, but also as a primary driver of the team’s overall development. He’s really the only member of the team that’s willing to call out others when they goof up or slack, even including Goku and Vegeta. His opinion actually does seem to matter to them.
    Which has me curious about where Vegeta’s respect for the Namekian came from. While it’s a bit strange seeing him actually express emotional vulnerability in front of Piccolo in the Buu Saga before his big sacrifice, when you think about it, who else could it have possibly been with that would have felt at all plausible?
    Plus Piccolo’s dressing down of Vegeta in the OG Broly movie is honestly one of the best parts of it. And again, something that I can’t see any other character really pulling off convincingly (and yes, I’m including Future Trunks).

    • @justinmcmullen3328
      @justinmcmullen3328 Год назад +8

      I always assumed the respect came from Piccolo risking his life in the fight against Frieza, becoming the strongest during the Cell Saga when Vegeta considered Namekians as a weaker race and there shared warrior mentality.

    • @lordbiscuitthetossable5352
      @lordbiscuitthetossable5352 Год назад +8

      I think part of it is also Vegeta finally getting Piccolo after all those years. When Vegeta was speaking to Piccolo he was the only member of the dragon team still fighting, and when they first met, he had sacrificed himself to rescue Gohan from certain death. In that particular scene, the role was reversed; Buu was the inevitable destroyer, a problem Vegeta had effectively raised through selfish desire, but this time it was his turn to sacrifice himself to rescue his son. It was at that point he understood entirely what Piccolo had felt that drove him to his action, and that while he had always respected him as a fierce adversary, it was probably the first time that he really got over his ego enough to understand him.
      Piccolo in my mind is really Tien done better. He's a loner who had come to terms with his own nature and had learnt to care for others and sacrificed himself willingly on many occasions. The only reason I say he did a better job than Tien was that he connected with members of the cast, like Gohan, Killian and more. Tien always existed to me awkwardly at one side, being a legitimate badass hero that only turned up when the chips were really down, but he never really socialized. I mean, seriously, when I first watched Dragonball Z I barely remembered the guy beyond being that one guy who stopped Cell for a good while. Piccolo is similar but seemed to always be there, training with Goku and Gohan, forming a lasting connection with the latter despite being born hateful, and had travelled a very similar path to Vegeta that, unlike most other people the Sayian knew, they had walked the same hard road to redemption thanks to these incredible people who had changed them but never experienced the same growth.

      @@Eric6761 Not really. I mean, he did speak a fair amount to Trunks, at, praising, and slandering him in equal measure, but most of the time he isn't really welcome and he doesn't really seem to care about that.
      Then again, most Z fighters who aren't Goku or Piccolo aren't really contributors. Even Gohan tends to be a more passive spectator when he isn't directly being confronted or acting under his own agency.. Which is disappointingly consistent with his later character developments. XD

    Something I took note of while rewatching DBZ/DBZ Kai was that in Super Hero, Gohan learning the Special Beam Cannon wasn't out of nowhere. During their trip to Namek while Gohan and Krillin were image training, the image training ended with Gohan doing the Special Beam Cannon. So Gohan had likely been trying to learn that move properly ever since he was just a little kid. And if he kept up on his training for all that time, he'd likely have learned it even sooner than he did.

This motivated the hero to stand up and in a fit of righteous anger to transform and then kick Piccolo's butt. The hero quickly figured out that Piccolo was actually testing him to see if he had what it takes to save the world.

They make jokes about how Piccolo is an outcast and therefore doesn’t have best social skills. Then moments like his epiphany as to why Goku and Vegeta married who they did was hilarious. Obviously him getting serious in battle is awesome too, but I find more and more lately that I’m more fond of the character moments instead of all the action.

    Piccolo has been the mentor figure for most of the Dragonball story Z and onward. He teaches Gohan how to fight and survive on his own. He gives guidance to the cast and leads the rest of the Z Fighters on a regular basis. He wakes Goku up to who Gohan is in the Cell saga at the end. He becomes the primary teacher of Goten and Trunks during the Buu saga. He brings Gohan to the level of Super Saiyan Blue in like a day. And then later serves as the push over the edge Gohan needed to properly unleash his potential again. To anyone who felt that Gohan Beast was forced, remember that Gohan NEVER had a moment where his anger snapped after getting his potential unleashed by the Elder Kai. Seeing Piccolo get beat down so brutally, the guy who he had complete utter faith in, and knowing that he had nobody else to protect everyone, just like in the Cell Games btw, he had nobody left. 16 helped him realize that he had nobody left then, and Piccolo's defeat made him realize it then as well. Piccolo is directly responsible for the constant growth of Gohan, and I wouldn't be surprised if Piccolo continues to be the one who pushes folks with potential forward. Goten and Trunks, their latent potential is insane as well. Perhaps in the future Piccolo will push them further and have them achieve power beyond their fathers as well.

    Let's face it, Piccolo is the MVP of Dragonball at those point! Also he'll most likely be the reason for Pan (maybe Bulla too) reaches Super Saiyan, but I don't think it'll be because of him dying to cause that, it'll be through his training methods, but that's just my opinion!

    Masako, its hard to believe that we're coming up on a decade since Battle of the Gods. Would you and Hav (Spelling) consider doing a retrospective?
    One last question. What do you think of doing a limited series lead by Gohan that would focus on the lesser used characters like Tien, an adult Future Mai, Adult Trunks and maybe a ressurectedGine? I know it sounds random but I love it when underutilized characters get the love.

    @nickjones9867 Год назад +2

    I think the "with great power comes great responsibility" thing applies to gohan more than even possibly spiderman. He has a responsibility and he needs to acknowledge that. Sometimes in life we can't pursue our own dreams - especially when we have chosen to make a family. Sometimes we need to realise our potential for the benefit of the ones we love. Even if its not what we want. I realise his role model is basically goku who never did anything he didn't want, but piccolo is the counterbalance to that.
    It's time he reached his potential and stayed there for the sake of the ones he loves.

    You realize, if End of Z is still considered canon, Gohan is destined to go soft...again. Vegeta made a comment in End of Z about his disappointment in how the half-Saiyans have had no interest in training. That goes for Gohan, Trunks, and Goten.

      Maybe that will be retconned to Vegeta playfully jabbing at the younger generation when it is clear that they have been keeping up, or maybe a sort of irony that Vegeta thinks only Uub will be the next protector of Earth from his perspective.

    Piccolo is the backbone of Gohan’s family life and the Dragon Team.

It would be pretty awesome if Piccolo and Janet got into a relationship and got married and had Namekian/Earthling kids.

      And then Piccolo was born but no one was there to help him. And he didn't seem to want any help.
