You know what, no, I'm gonna ramble about this some more. Piccolo is my favourite character in Dragon Ball. Always has been since I first watched Dragon Ball as a kid and saw the fight between him and Goku.

When I found out he becomes one of the good guys in Z, I was really expecting him to be Goku's equal, not just another guy in the background twidling his thumbs waiting for Goku to arrive and save the day. I was expecting him to go full beast mode on the villains, even if he doesn't finish them off. This guy was evil incarnate at the time. He and Goku brutalized each other to the point where neither could stand anymore. Goku won on a technicality.

Like, imagine when Freeza was brutalizing Gohan and Piccolo showed up, instead of doing the whole I'm-the-stoic-warrior-here-to-stall-for-time, he went berserk like he did during his fight with Goku.

Imagine him going like this at Freeza for hurting Gohan

Scaring him and reminding the audience that he's Piccolo fucking Daimao. You can still have Freeza get his dumb transformations out of the way and have Piccolo put up a good fight before Goku shows up to take over because Piccolo is tired or injured or whatever. Have Freeza worry about the two teaming up like they did against Raditz. Have Piccolo's presence mean something beyond just another shocked and worried face in the crowd. That kind of temper he had doesn't just go away without going out of your way to work on it.

Piccolo had so much potential in Z. His relationship with Gohan is such a great part of his character, but really underutilized in the grand scheme of thing, both in and out of battles. Him charging at Cell during his and Gohan's Kamehameha struggle was such a great moment that I wish we saw more of that stuff throughout. The fact that Toriyama didn't think to write something like that in the manga is a crime.

Bleh. I'm in a mood about my green alien demon boy.

Just a collection of my headcanons about the Dragon World:

I have no reason in particular for the photo, I just think it's neat.

Bukujutsu is a technique replicated by the crane master from Piccolo Daimao's flying

After the first wish of the dragon balls made someone king, all the relevant memories of everyone on Earth that time and have connection with the people of the planet is altered. This includes the memories regarding aliens that have always visited them and are in friendly terms with them (triclops)

All the monster-type earthlings are descendants of aliens, no one just remembers

Triclops and Triclops-Earthlings are people who are experts of body and spirit and that's why they have ki techniques that endangers someone's health. Tenshinhan is tapping to their forbidden techniques without realizing it

People who were drank by Cell still remembers it and are traumatized. Not all of them believed that Satan killed Cell but some who did only did so because there's nothing else to make sense of

Speaking of people who needs therapy, Eighter/Android #8 became a psychiatrist who specializes in things like the case with piccolo daimao, cell, and being brought back to life in general. (In all of my stories, he's specifically Gohan's psychiatrist because every single one Gohan had didn't believe the first words that he say, which is "my dad is an alien, I'm a hybrid, and my uncle kidnapped me when I was 4 to make my dad kill people")

One of Piccolo Daimao's children from his first attack got away and made a clan of his own. Initially, he and his children hid from people but at some point they realized they can blend in as monster-type earthlings so they did (I made two OCs because I'm so in love with the idea with some of them just chilling with humans)

Namekians are a special mortal racekind whose ancestor was born on the boundary of the 6th and 7th universe and that's why they're born with abilities that only a core person would have had. Zalama was as big as the Earth's moon who lived in a large planet in isolation. They encouraged their children to explore the universes and are friends with the first kaioshins, the angels, and the first gods of destruction. Whis still remembers them and was there when they created the super dragon balls, he just didn't tell anybody he knew about it for his own entertainment.

I'll add some if I remember any. I'm mostly writing the non-character specific ones here.

MY EXPLANATION OF PICCOLO'S NEW POWER IN SUPER HERO

There are no official statements yet. I'm just giving my own explanation based off of DB lore, Japanese mythology, & what was said/implied in the film.

So, let's see if I can get it correct (or at least close) before we get an official explanation.

Piccolo asked Shenron to release his potential & Shenron did so in a similar way to how Grand Elder Guru unlocked Krillin & Gohan's latent potential, but likely a better version due to Shenron's capabilities being more advanced than Elder Guru.

(This is more similar to how Elder Kai unlocked Gohan's power beyond his latent abilities, but not quite the same method.)

Piccolo is then briefly shown in his ultimate/awakened form. He has yellowish-green skin and a buffer appearance than he normally does. Shenron also says he gave Piccolo a "bonus" or "something extra." We soon found out that it's his Potential Unleashed form that is capable of awakening into his "Orange Piccolo" form with a symbol that represents Namekian pride on the back of his gi.

[BRIEF EXPLANATION]

Shenron awakened the potential of both halves of the Nameless Namekian; the Kami-sama half & the Demon King half since they are 2 beings now sharing 1 vessel.

(Nail was implied to have already had his potential unlocked by the Namekian Grand Elder. Which is why he was the strongest Namekian warrior until Piccolo arrived.)

Shenron speaks to Piccolo in a cheerful & respectful manner. Shenron even refers to Piccolo as "Piccolo-sama." This is most likely due to Kami & Piccolo's union back into the Nameless Namekian, so Shenron combines the titles "Kami-sama" & "Piccolo Daimao" to "Piccolo-sama."

AWAKENED PICCOLO✨

The awakened Kami-sama half.

Pronounced cheekbones like Kami.

Awakened Piccolo's yellowish color is due to the color yellow being associated with awakenings and godly power. It's possible that the form is also meant to be a nod to Kami-sama's godly position (god of Earth) as well as a nod to how the Nameless Namekian looked when he expunged his evil side to become Kami (yellow light from the aura making young Kami's skin have a yellowish tone).

ORANGE PICCOLO👹

The awakened Piccolo Daimao half.

Pronounced cheekbones like King Piccolo.

Orange Piccolo's "evil" appearance seems to be a nod to oni (demons/ogres). The antennas stick upwards like oni horns & orange is one color that oni can be. This demon-like look seems to be a clever callback to Demon King Piccolo. (He even rises from the depths of a deep chasm with a fiery aura as if he was an oni rising from a burning hell.)

Orange Piccolo is a stronger, taller, & bulkier form than Awakened Piccolo just like how the Demon King half of the Nameless Namekian was stronger, taller, & bulkier than the Kami (god) half.

Orange Piccolo using the Giant Form is obviously an homage to when Ma-Junior (Piccolo) used the Giant Form during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai. An ability that Kami never used due to it being a demon clansmen technique. (If I remember correctly, only in games is it used as a Namekian ability. We've never seen other Namekians use the ability, so I believe it was a demon clansmen technique. But, I could be wrong.)

EXTRA TIDBITS

Awakened Piccolo may have been designed to have a yellowish-green color & a yellow aura in order to resemble the glowing light that emanates from the Dragon Balls & the dragon god, Shenron. And it could possibly be to make Piccolo resemble a Super Saiyan since he is a "Super Namekian."

Orange Piccolo may have been designed with 2 tones of orange to resemble the 2 tones of orange that the Dragon Balls have.

Oni carry large kanabō (iron rod) that they use for weapons. Orange Piccolo (who resembles an oni) slams a bridge's iron suspension cable on Cell Max. Most likely as a reference to the oni of Japanese folklore.

The Japanese word 鬼神 pronounced "Kishin" translates to "Wrathful Diety" or "Demon God." Kishin is also comprised of 2 words that mean "oni & god" or "demon & god." And Piccolo is comprised of the Demon King & Kami (god), so I wonder if Piccolo's new "Orange Piccolo" form may end up being renamed "Kishin Piccolo" or both forms are some sort of "Kishin Power." That would be pretty cool & fitting. But, I like the simplicity of Orange Piccolo too.

The circular symbol on Orange Piccolo's back is officially said to be a symbol that represents the pride of the Namekian race. This could also be meant to be the Nameless Namekian's own unique symbol; thus the pride of the Namekians. Perhaps it's also meant to be a subtle nod to how Kami had "god" on him & King Piccolo had "demon" on him. But, Piccolo is neither god nor demon. He is a Namekian.

• ("Kishin" can mean "Wrathful Diety" & "homesickness" depending on which word you use. So, this could also be a play on words to express that Piccolo is feeling some homesickness for Namek, ergo, the symbol of Namekian pride on his back.)

• ("Ki" in another context can also mean "tree." The symbol of Namekian pride begins with an Ajisa tree sprouting on Piccolo's back, then becoming a brightly glowing tree. This could be another play on words with Kishin or simply a coincidence & I'm looking too deep. Sometimes Toriyama is simple, but other times he's complex.)

REMEMBER, this is just speculation of mine from the brief info we currently have. There is no official confirmation yet on the inspiration behind Piccolo's forms or why he has two of them. But, I have ordered the novel for the movie and I will check to see if there is any revealed info in it once the novel arrives.

(Also, I called it "Awakened Piccolo" instead of "Ultimate Piccolo" or "Potential Unleashed Piccolo" or "Potential Capacity Liberation Piccolo" just because I felt like it. And it is not inaccurate because Piccolo's power is awakened. I'm unsure what the English dub will end up calling it tho. Gotta wait & see.)

[GOHAN'S SIMILAR POWER]

The Potential Unleashed forms appear to release power that's hidden within a person to push them beyond their limits. As well as awakening their "inner-beast." Or in Piccolo's case, his "inner-demon."

UNLEASHED POTENTIAL: Ultimate Piccolo & Ultimate Gohan.

INNER-DEMON/BEAST: Orange Piccolo & Gohan Beast.
