Sure Orange Piccolo is a GIGACHAD but is this form actually deeper than that?

It’s no secret Toriyama originally planned for Dragon Ball Super: SuperHero to be a Piccolo movie. The first 2/3rds make that apparent even after the script was altered to focus on Gohan for the climax. What that altered script didn’t do, was take away an important part of Piccolo’s story. In a way, GigaChad Piccolo over here completes the journey Piccolo has been on since the beginning of Dragon Ball Z. Don’t get ahead of yourself though! Before we get there we have to discuss the journey Piccolo has been on since Dragon Ball. Check out the video to learn more!

    Really like how there's actual meaning to his transformation.
  • @rambofan6138
    Glad they finally gave piccolo the power he deserved
  • @crazychips123
    The addition of the tree was just masterclass. RIP to the goat for this amazing character
  • @kin4386
    I think Piccolo will always be my favourite Z Fighter, honestly. Since the beginning he's been one of the most badass, likeable and compelling characters in the series. And he's finally come full circle.
  • @dweebSF
    I am happy that orange piccolo's power was entirely his own
  • @AstroSully
    One of the best Piccolo character analysis I've seen. Simple yet truthful to the core. It's culmination of his journey.
  • @MetalGames95
    Just realized with your video how much more detail there is to this new transformation I already loved. He's not orange for no reason, it's the color of the Dragonballs themselves. I kind of wish they called the transformation Dragon Piccolo or Piccolo Ryuu to better represent the origin of his power
  • This is a beautiful analysis of Picollo's character. I'm pretty sure Akira Toriyama didn't fully intend for his character arc to be like this, but this point of view is the best way to look at it. This is especially true with the part of Shenron giving back the life the Nameless Namekian gave to him to Picollo, it only makes sense that he achieved a new form because of it. What with the dragon able to grant so many powerful wishes, from resurrecting so many people to theoretically granting immortality. I hope Toriyama sees this and officially tells us this is what he intended all along. I guess because of this my new headcanon name for Piccolo's new form is 'Dragon Picollo.'
  • Damn, I never even considered the fact that Orange Piccolo is Orange because he not only got a power up from the dragonballs, but the fact that it basically IS Piccolo absorbing Shenron, or at least what part of Kami's soul was used to make Shenron
  • I think it's really appropriate how every one of piccolos power ups is about him embracing namek and moving away from the Demon King. You can see his changes as they happen. Absorbing nail and meeting his people, absorbing Kami and becoming whole again, wishing on the dragon not to regress to his youth but acknowledging he needs to progress and having it granted to him. One of the franchises strongest arcs
  • Remember what Shenron says in the dub, and specifically how it’s phrased: All you have…plus a bit extra. What do you think that ‘bit extra’ is? Shenron itself, and the power used to create it. Dende has become far stronger than Kami was when creating Shenron originally, and as such, Kami’s power isn’t needed in Shenron anymore. So…it returns, as a little bonus.
  • @mistert477
    the overall theme of completing the circle and Piccolos journey got me tearing up over here. this video was beautifully done, thank you for the amazing content 😭🙏🏽
  • I never considered that Piccolo wish was just Kamis power returning to him. I love it, finally Piccolo is on God Level.
  • @ElbowThief
    This was a really good dive into Piccolos character. He's been on a journey from the moment he was spit out in an egg by his father, first wanting to enact revenge and dominate the world, but changing over time as he surrounded himself with kind people and learned more of his heritage, making him a more complete character in DBS Super Hero. Hopefully going forward he is more relevant in the story and in terms of his own power. Edit: I also really like how the characters are now getting their own power/new forms from character development.
  • @itsterra9381
    Gotta love me some good ol piccolo content. Genuinely one of my favorites and it's so nice to see him get some time in the spotlight.
  • @magnetic9089
    Beautifully done and perfectly encapsulates Piccolo’s journey. Thank you for giving this Namekian what he deserves, love your content too man
  • @ShinobudRUski
    This movie gave me an even bigger appreciation for Piccolo, making him tied with Veggie as my favorite Dragon Ball character. I love how you pieced this all together. I like to call Orange Piccolo “Dragon Warrior Piccolo”. Just feel it makes sense with his journey.
  • Piccolo has been one of my favorite characters from the start of DBZ. I love his relationship with Gohan, and I am glad they showed that side of him in this movie. He finally gets the respect he deserves in DBS Superhero and that is why it is so great.
