Why We Love Piccolo

Piccolo is a fan-favorite (and Toriyama-favorite) character for many reasons. It almost seems like he's unanimously respected. And after recently getting a movie focused on him, he's in the spotlight once more. But what exactly makes him such a great and beloved character in the fandom?

It's legitimately impossible to NOT like Piccolo, he's like the universally chill uncle everyone has

[GamerMinilla]

Its just so cute how piccolo holds cell phones. Really drives home how he's still to this day not all that used to earth customs and technology.

I've always had an idea that since Namekians seem to live for an impossibly long amount of time, if Dragon Ball ever goes through a 100-year timeskip thing with a new cast and no Goku, that Piccolo would be a sort of "Roshi" figure. With how much he teaches and how effective he is at it, I'd like to see Piccolo become a sort of legendary master.

I love Piccolo and the fact he was ignored power-wise post-Cell Games still makes me frustrated

I couldn't stop crying (and it still hurts) when Piccolo accidentally said goodbye on behalf of Toriyama.

Piccolo has slowly become one of my absolute favorite characters, he's so well written as a character and he's genuinely just raw as hell

[JoshTBM]

Piccolo has always been my favorite so many dont appreciate him enough I can't wait to see orange piccolo added to sparking zero

[sirnutaku]

My boy Big Green, I don't think there's a more loved character that has a chill fan love relationship like Piccolo. He is just the boy that shows up, does his thing, leaves and doesn't elaborate.

[zippersnstitches]

piccolo is the only guy to go from boss to playable character and not get nerfed

[KleinpeterHank]

When I heard Big Green say: “Let that child alone” I knew he was him.

Fr tho I’ve always loved Piccolo. In many ways he had the Vegeta redemption arc before Vegeta, but because a lot of people are less familiar with OGDB he doesn’t get the same recognition.

Plus, the drip he has in the driving episode of DBZ is peak.

[dilldall]

One of the OGs & Toriyam's favorite getting more respect. Dude was consistent MVP in all of the Dragon Ball franchise based on his wits alone.

Another great thing about SUPER HERO is how Piccolo's wish to unlock his potential is a sharp contrast to King Piccolo's wish to restore his youth.

King Piccolo wished to restore his youth out of pure selfish desire, a regression to what he used to be, and not looking towards the future. In fact, he even _kills Shenron_ after making his wish, so no one else would be able to use the Dragon Balls.

Meanwhile, Piccolo Jr's wish to unlock his potential is borne from his desire to protect the people he's grown to care about, and a recognition of his own limits (and the desire to push past them). It's implied that the "little extra" that Shenron granted Piccolo is actually the life force that Kami infused into Shenron all those years ago, meaning it's returning to where it came from. (Don't worry, this just means Shenron is now only running on Dende's energy)

Not to mention that what Piccolo is wishing for is something that Namekian Elders can do, so it ties back to his culture.

I love the fact that almost all movies is lit because of piccolo's support and intelligence, he's the goat

[Ydnar]

I'm so glad piccolo finally got some love in the dbs super hero movie. Even though i got beast gohan's form spoiled for me via facebook, i got surprised by orange piccolo. i hope they keep piccolo in the spotlight :) love the content ty so much! Keep doing Great :)

This video is brilliant and well narrated.

God, I love Piccolo. He is Gohan's godfather, teacher and protector, as well as Pan's.

While I have my gripes with Super in general, I'm really glad Piccolo finally got some much needed love. I wasn't a fan of how his character was sidelined after and during the Buu saga in DBZ.

I think Orange Piccolo is brilliant, and just thinking about Beast Gohan using Special Beam cannon still gives me chills. Both those characters NEED to stay relevant going forward.

[TheWarmachine]

Piccolo is pure unadulterated awesomeness.

[kmdplay]

Piccolo is Top Bins!!

Another interesting fact about that Nail fusion, Piccolo gained ALL Knowledge about Namek, it's people, Guru and what ever else Nail had experienced during his entire time as Nameks strongest warrior and Guru's protector.

The magic & power of Namekians has Always interested me since OG Dragon Ball during the King Piccolo arc... But then, Piccolo Jr just whips out devastating ki attack after devastating ki attack like it was nothing.

[Mammoth_X]

And he grew from a villian to the character with the BIGGEST HEART

[plo]

Piccolo is amazing. I love how he doesn't take anyone's mess. When Nappa and Vegeta showeds up, he was a straight up badass. He's easily the coolest DBZ character.

[Ostenjoyer]

Piccolo is the first one to sacrifice himself if it came down to it, piccolo doesent make dumb decisions like the rest of the cast when it comes to the earth, piccolo is knowledgeable and respectful, i dont think he is everyone’s favorite buthe has no glaring flaws as a character

[jaredrobinson]

piccolo has always been my favorite since I was a little kid.
