    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!

    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.

      Dragonball has this trend of dumb names for power ups. Like "beyond super saiyan" is just "Super Saiyan 2" but Goku dubs this so it's fair that it sounds dumb. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (already dumb) gets redubbed Super Saiyan Blue just referencing the hair color. It's like they just thought what the fans would call it and made it official. Even if they did call it Dragon Piccolo, we all would've went with the more description Orange Piccolo anyway. But perhaps, we can go with Tang Piccolo? 🤣

      If anything Super Hero and piccolos story in it is parallel with Gohan when he got his Ultimate form and then beast.
      Toriyama even said leading up to the movie that Piccolos Ultimate form is the same as Gohans. Taking that along side whats stated when both of them are given these forms.
      Elder kai stated when doing the potential unlock to gohan that it would bring him to his potential and far beyond it.
      When shenron unlocked piccolos he was stated to be given a bonus.
      In both these cases Beast and Orange would be that bonus and the Beyond.
      So no i dont go buying the theory that its piccolos life being restored to him.

    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.'

    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.

    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.

    I'm going to send this to everyone who says Piccolo's transformation does not make any sense. You worded what I was thinking better than I could. Excellent work! Piccolo is my favorite character in Dragon Ball, so I'm really happy that he's gotten a massive glow-up in Super Hero. I'm hoping the manga fleshes out his transformation a bit more and giving him some new moves and depth.

    A lot of people put Vegeta's development from evil to good above Piccolo's, because they say Vegeta's was much more gradual, while true, they forget Dragon Ball Z, originally was not separate from Dragon Ball, so Piccolo's development is more meaningful if you consider the story as a whole, both have solid development, yet Piccolo was different to Vegeta, he wasn't the same kind of evil.

      That's my position with Krillin. He's a man so far out of his depth it passes beyond comedic and into tragic, his wife is utterly beyond him in combat power but the one on the front lines, doing what they can is him. (I actually appreciate that the series never tries to rake 18 over the coals for that, she is who she is and her husband understands that as much as she understands him going out to risk his life heroically is who he is.) Krillin is punching up a mountain of power difference constantly, but he's always there putting in work and supporting as he can.
      For the vast majority of people, who've been humbled by others just, having more talent than they do? That's something we can viscerally understand, and makes his actions more personally respectable.

    On the topic of Piccolo's power-ups I really like the side story he gets in the Supersonic Warriors games. A "What-If" Arc has Piccolo have to go to Hell to meet up with Demon King Piccolo to "complete" himself in order to face Boo. While the writing wasn't the deepest I always found the concept super interesting and character driven for him.
    Also hearing that DBS:SH was meant as a Piccolo movie makes it make so much more sense. He was BY FAR the highlight of the film for me.
