King Piccolo

From The Codex
King Piccolo
Dragon Ball

Do you understand now? If I am annoyed, I won’t think twice about destroying your whole world.
~ King Piccolo to King Furry

Background

Piccolo is an entity who was born hundreds of years prior to the events of Dragon Ball, once being known as the Nameless Namekian. Leaving Planet Namek, the Nameless Namekian came to Planet Earth in order to become the new guardian of the planet. However, he was denied the position due to the darkness within himself.

Understanding what he had to do in order to become Earth’s guardian, the Nameless Namekian split his soul into two parts; the good half (Kami), and the bad half (Piccolo.) Kami and King Piccolo were bound by a life link, so that if one would die, the other would also; preventing them from attacking one another.

As the years went along, King Piccolo would begin to wreak havoc upon the earth, and used his offspring to further this destruction. As the body count rose, the necessity to stop the Demon King rose with it. A trained martial artist, Master Mutaito, faced off against King Piccolo, with a plan to defeat him.

Mutaito unleashed a technique known as the Evil Containment Wave, which sealed King Piccolo away in an Electric Rice Cooker and protected the world from danger for several more centuries. However, this Rice Cooker was eventually found by the conniving Emperor Pilaf, who released him from his confinement.

Almost as soon as he was released, the Demon King Piccolo fell right back into his old habit of destruction, though he noticed his body had aged significantly. Because of this, he gathered the Dragon Balls, and wished for eternal youth. Back in his prime state, King Piccolo was able to take out countless martial artists who opposed him.

Master Roshi, Chiaotzu, and Krillin find themselves being victims of King Piccolo and his demon-spawn. However, during a fateful encounter with the enraged Son Goku, King Piccolo astonishingly found himself beaten and run-through by Goku’s fist.

With his dying breath, the Demon King tied his power and memories to an egg, which he ejected from his mouth and launched into a place of secrecy. As King Piccolo died, the young Piccolo Jr. would be born, to carry out his father’s legacy. Although Piccolo Jr. was the reincarnation of King Piccolo, he eventually lost his evil heart and found himself re-combining with Kami once more.

Notable Techniques

*Flight: With a mastery of Ki control, King Piccolo is able to fly at incredibly high speeds.

  • Ki Blast: Using Ki, King Piccolo can concentrate it into a ball that he uses as a projectile attack.
  • Finger Beam: King Piccolo is able to gather Ki in his fingertips and unleash an energy beam at his opponents.
  • Explosive Demon Wave: A blast King Piccolo unleashes using one hand, which he used to completely turn a city to ashes.
  • Soumasen: A laser beam that King Piccolo unleashes from his eyes.
  • Mouth Energy Wave: A powerful Ki beam blasted from King Piccolo’s mouth.
  • Life Link: Due to being created via Fission, King Piccolo's life and the life of Kami are linked thus one will die if the other perishes either via natural or unnatural causes. As it made King Piccolo or Kami killing the other essentially a suicidal act, it effectively resulted in a stalemate between the two as King Piccolo could not kill Kami and Kami could not kill King Piccolo, though this allowed King Piccolo to terrorize the Earth with Kami helpless to stop him unless he was willing to perish along with King Piccolo, though King Piccolo was later sealed by Mutaito putting an end to his evil allowing Kami to survive and continuing to serve as Guardian of Earth. However, King Piccolo inadvertently saved Kami's life when he reincarnated himself into Piccolo Jr. which transferred the life link to his final son after he was fatally injured by Goku, which was fortunate as Kami was the only one who could restore Shenron and the Dragon Balls would be rendered inert anyway if Kami died. The life link is also neutralized if King Piccolo and Kami perform Namekian Fusion resulting in them becoming the Nameless Namekian once more.

*Eternal Youth: After making a wish upon Shenron, King Piccolo was restored to his physical prime, regain his youthful health and appearance as well as peak power and prowess. In addition, he became immune to aging, which made him able to potentially live forever he would never grow old, however due to being life linked with Kami this ability is rendered moot as Kami still ages thus King Piccolo would still die if Kami were to die of old age. This ability was passed to his son Piccolo Jr. upon King Piccolo's death.

  • Great Namekian: King Piccolo maintains a height much greater than most Namekians at all times. During his battle against Goku he increases his size further after becoming enraged at the young Saiyan.


  • Other

    Standard Tactics: King Piccolo is a fighter that mainly uses his ki attacks along with hand to hand combat.

    Weaknesses: None notable.

    Note: Some clips used on the profile come from an anime or movie due to the fact that some abilities from ki use shouldn't function much differently from how they can in canon, along with this sometimes the anime version/video game version of a scene will be used for cleaner visuals. Toriyama himself directly overlooks scenes in the anime and movies and gives Toei the thumbs up[1].
