About Piccolo

I'm not quite clear on why anyone would want to come here, but oh well! This is the section of the site where I tell you where Piccolo actually came from, but I really think that if you're a die hard Piccolo-chan fan then you'd already know. But if you're a new comer to the Namekian followers then come on in and take a seat on a nearby rock or fallen tree trunk, because to tell the story of Piccolo's origin requires a little imagination.

First off, the one who started it all was Kami, the God of the Earth, but before he was that he was a little Namekian boy on a dying planet. Well needless to say the little boy left the planet in a spaceship shaped like a piggy bank I own. He arrived on Earth and forgot everything about his own planet. When he grew up, Kami fought against Garlic Snr. and won the position as the God of the Earth, however the only way he could become God was to get rid of his 'evil' half. Kami, needless to say, did it and when he seperated his body into good and evil, Piccolo Damio was born, or as we Americans call him, Demon King Piccolo.

So Demon King Piccolo was reigning terror on us poor Earthings one day when he met a strange little boy with spikey black hair, an orange gi (uniform for you DB-challenged), and a tail. This was Son Goku and he didn't really like the Demon King's attitude so in the end Goku kill the Demon King with a ki (energy) blast right through the torso and as the Demon King was dying he gave birth to a Namekian egg (short note: Nameks are asexual, meaning only one sex) by spitting it out of his mouth. A very interesting sight to see. Piccolo Damio swore that where he had failed against Goku, his son would succeed.

Well, the egg hatched and that was it for a while. Goku grew up into quite a young man and made a deal with Chichi, if Chichi beat Goku in the Budoukai (World Matial Arts Tournament) then Goku would marry Chichi, a goal the young woman had been looking forward to since they were both in their pre-teens. Anyway, at the Budoukai Goku met a young green man named Piccolo, and techanically that was the first appearance of our beloved Piccolo-chan. He got his butt officially kicked by Goku in the finals and came in as the second strongest fighter in the world when Dragon Ball ended.

Well, then five years later an alien named Raditz landed, claiming he was looking for another member of his race, the Saiyan race to be exact. And the member happend to be his baby brother Kakarot or as we know him...Goku. Anyhow, Piccolo is the first sizable power level Raditz meets and Piccolo has a heartattack after the Saiyan leaves. Raditz finds Goku visiting with old friends with his four year old son Gohan, named after Goku's adoptive grandfather. Moving on, Raditz kidnapps Gohan and will take him in Goku's place if Goku doesn't kill 100 Earthings by the next day. In the end Piccolo and Goku go and fight Raditz. It's Piccolo's Light of Death attack that kills Raditz and sadly Goku too.

Before Raditz dies he tells the survivors of the battle that the whole thing was brodcasted and the other two survivors of the Saiyan Race were going to come in a year's time. That left Piccolo to train Gohan*, because during the battle Gohan wounded Raditz greatly using a hidden power. Thus began a strange relationship between Piccolo and Gohan.
