How Strong Is Orange Piccolo? transcript

foreign Piccolo my junior The Reincarnation of the Demon King God Piccolo has gone through a lot of Transformations throughout the series he went from the literal embodiment of the evil that lived within God to sacrificing himself for the son of the man he should hate the most he's gone through a lot of Transformations and is often considered by many as Goku's first real serious rival as the series goes on Piccolo goes from struggling against the likes of a Saiyan with the power level of 1500 to one with a level of 4 000 to then fighting the emperor of the entire universe at a level of over one million and make him go beyond that after reuniting with his people on Planet Namek later he trains for beings that Slaughter Super Saiyans that made the Dominator the universe literally his pants and in just three years many people know that Piccolo himself has so much power that it's unbelievable for anybody but a Super Saiyan actually be so strong but as we know he goes even further beyond that and he should have been able to handle Frieza easily even back in the day in the words of his own people the namekians because he is a super namekian and is just a piece of the being of Kami that he was split from and after refusing with Kami and finally becoming complete Piccolo becomes so strong he can fight on par with guys who can one shot the Super Saiyans the strongest guys in the whole universe in just one hit while not even trying he then trains for a while for the upcoming Cell games against a monstrous amalgamation a very strong guy on Earth and Frieza put together and does decently well against cell Juniors during the tournament but Falls up short compared to the newly super trained ascended Super Saiyans even while fused with Kami and complete despite training for many years leading up to the Buu saga Piccolo has fallen way behind even in seven years he can't reach the level of his old rival Goku from the Cell games that's how crazy of a boost Goku's training gave him in Super Saiyan grade 4. as Piccolo despite surrending out of respect is confirmed to be weaker than the current Lord of Lord words the Supreme Kai Shin Shin who is around the strength of Goku during the Cell Games this is insane and it makes you start to understand why Vegeta thought he could win a tournament that had Piccolo in it without even needing to go Super Saiyan it wouldn't be for many years until Dragon Ball's continuation Dragon Ball super that Piccolo would finally really begin to pick it back up however with Goku's now newly obtained literal God Powers it was hard to do so but eventually we get to the point of orange Piccolo where orange Piccolo finally reaches the levels of the Saiyans once again so let's go over it Piccolo is a prodigy somewhat of a stupid statement about I mean it as you know obviously in anime everyone is a prodigy for the most part but this is important as it leads us onto Orange Piccolo later so stay with me here he's a prodigy in fact I would argue way more prodigious than Goku is for many reasons and here's why do you know how old he actually is when he faces Goku for the title of strongest in the world remember Goku is about 19 years old during this tournament well do you know how old Piccolo is take a guess he seems about the same age as Goku is right well no Piccolo is three years old he's as old as a toddler and younger than Gohan when Raditz kidnaps him hopefully you see where I'm kind of going with that now by the time he is around seven to eight years old he was facing Raditz within around 24 year old Goku and by the time he is around eight or nine ish he's facing a powerful Saiyan named NAPA NAPA being a mid-class or an elite if you use kind of archaic terminology it's kind of up in the air there's a whole mid-class Elite debate Toriyama thinks the Saiyan Prince and King were the only Elites and there's 10 mid class which an app would be a part of but that's it for you guys he then goes on to reach a power level of over 1 million before even being 10 years old younger than Goku when he started the series you had a power level of 10.

Piccolo is over 100 000 times stronger than Goku while being a few years as Junior so you'd imagine Piccolo actually has insane latent potential when he starts to show Showcase in the Android Arc for sure but why does he always seem to stagnate compared to the Saiyans in fact he begins to get surpassed by the Saiyans in their base forms not even them using ascended Super Saiyan forms by the time the Buu saga actually rolls around this may be due to how kami's influence on Piccolo may have affected his training or Piccolo just genuinely didn't find or innovate his training too much like Goku did in the afterlife and so on Dragon Ball super however corrects this greatly in Dragon Ball super Piccolo struggling with taguma in the anime he saw his weights almost happens but due to this it's highly likely Piccolo steps up his training and we see those results in the next Arc or the universe 6 art in Universe 6 Goku who has absorbed the power of a Super Saiyan God which surpasses Fusion from the Buu saga or at least Super Saiyan 3 has to fight against Frost who is basically the universe 6 version of Fraser and after Frost goes into his final form Goku has to go Super Saiyan to take him on and yes he does and you Super Saiyan as Vegeta when he's taking Frost seriously also goes Super Saiyan even against a fatigued Frost Goku then says Piccolo you don't stand a chance against him but good luck and then Piccolo with his Ingenuity and his techniques and with a special beam cannon not only actually gets the upper hand not for us and is would beat him in a fair fight but actually blasphados's barrier away that even base Goku and frost earlier weren't doing so you can really see that even in just one Arc after he gets the hint he really explodes later we see Piccolo without his weights training Gohan and he can No Joke Man it'll even Super Saiyan 2 Gohan in a fight and this isn't as unimpressive as you might assume because many of you probably assume Gohan is probably severely weakened like he was in Revival of f as this is post Zen exhibition match Super Saiyan 2 Gohan meaning he is stronger than when you face Universe 9's lavender and universe 9 who can even pressure Majin Buu with lavender still being confident in face and Gohan after seeing Majin Buu's full power and seeing a roided out basil get destroyed Gohan can then easily fight him in base form and lavender needs to Blind and poison him to get the upper hand at all and even while blind and poisoned in base form he can actually somewhat fight back now you have Piccolo fighting the Super Saiyan 2 version of this Gohan at full power that makes you really wonder where those gains were at in the Buu saga which sort of supports what I was saying earlier regardless you can kind of see how Piccolo should have a lot of potential but he doesn't have insane God of destruction Level Training or literal God transformations to Anthem like Goku and Vegeta do at the moment and while he has a lot of potential obviously Gohan has more as Gohan is pretty much story wise supposed to be the potential go other than Frieza and Broly maybe but even then Piccolo keeps up with a train to Gohan pretty well in the tournament of power and they combo together we then seen the manga they actually combo extremely well and by similarly despite Gohan being way stronger than he was he actually stalemates kefla in the manga now the actual manga canonicity to the Dragon Ball superhero movie I'm going to be getting into it's a little bit questionable now as with the new Goten and trunk superhero Arc apparently they might be retelling uh events from the movie so it may be possible that the manga has its own continuity so do keep that in mind but it is Canon to the anime and all the movies of course when I do get into the movies here in a second so after all this build up and fan anticipation Toriyama was finally like you know what maybe it's actually a good idea for this guy to be relevant he kind of deserves it if any character does then we see all that potential that we knew he had finally kind of get unlocked and shown by Shenron which was a thematically fitting for him for many reasons as it sort of him utilizing his powers as both Kami and Piccolo together to really become complete and all that blah blah blah blah blah this potential unlock Piccolo can actually face gamma 2 very well and gamma 2 was constructed alongside Gamma 1 to actually be counters for Goku and Vegeta who the doctor has been spying on ever since Moro Broly movie not term and power because they didn't watch that but at least Revival of Frieza and many other situations they've been watching the whole time and they seem pretty confident in the Gammas and they don't seem to think they need to call upon Sal Max and this is pretty interesting as well if they saw Goku Vegeta fuse into Gogeta versus Broly as well because that may mean they think the gambas can take Gogeta which would mean that Goku and Vegeta are just so powerful now they would easily manhandle Gogeta which may not actually be that far-fetched but even if you don't think that it means even ultimate Piccolo or just like the lime-colored piccolo is probably blue Goku and Vegeta level or enough to fight with their God forms which is incredibly consistent it's incredibly consistent for that to be the case as we know Gohan with his ultimate form can keep up with blue Goku and Goku and Kaio Ken to face Gohan and this Gohan trains way less than Piccolo does so if Piccolo can reach Godly levels or almost Godly levels let's say he's only like Super Saiyan God rather than blue level it would still be pretty consistent considering what we've actually seen from the ultimate form and what it can accomplish over long periods of time then orange Piccolo appears and he just folds the Gabba the gamma can't even make Piccolo Flinch by punching him and he punches him one time and folds him like a Looney Tunes character he turns him into like a piece of paper he crumples it up and throws it away easily and this is when it's finally stated by Toriyama it's nice that Piccolo has caught up to Goku and the others now superhero is not canon to the manga however Moro and granola and a lot of those arcs are suggested in the promotional material so even if they're not one to one two the Manga version or what happens in the manga it's still very likely that this will take place even in the anime continuity after this time meaning orange Piccolo is probably really not joking in those Ultra instinct or Ultra ego arranges of power and honestly I'm all for it now that we've kind of gone over how he finally reached Goku and the others Piccolo like Vegito cell and many other characters also has a very wide unique arsenal of abilities however his main attributes are obviously scratchy arms regeneration growing giant overgrowing giant doesn't increase his power apparently it might increase his strength which was shown against Bell Max I don't know what you guys think of it actually increases strength or just made it easier but he can grow bigger even though it doesn't increase his power but his main thing is his Mastery over the special beam Cannon so the special beam Cannon for Piccolo is a little bit more unique at least compared to what we see from cell cell Junior and even ajinbu go tanks and Piccolo absorbed because when those characters use it they kind of seem to look down on the ability right so when you see Majin Buu use it he just kind of throws it out and he's like actually seems like you know quite the punch now that I'm using it Sal and the others they kind of just use it pretty casually but when Piccolo does it Piccolo seems to have a type of Mastery or finesse with it where you can tell he was training for almost five years straight to learn it so when he only has a power level 408 against Raditz he's able to basically amp his power level by almost three times to over 1200 with just the special beam Cannon though he can actually take down opponents over three times his level with the special beam Cannon unless you think that Goku and Piccolo had power levels around 900 or almost a thousand like Vegeta suggest but they can just like concentrate it into one attack and then amp it slightly but the reason I think it actually might amp him at least a few times or several times even then is because later on in super when he finally gets to use the special beam Cannon again he does it against Frost now Piccolo is considered weaker than base Goku right that seems to be like very unanimous Goku and everyone seems to think pickle glow would get folded by him we see that Goku is fighting you know final form Frieza and Piccolo was just recently getting jobbed by freezes Lackey who would get annihilated by him in his first form which is over 200 times weaker than his final form at least using the official multipliers from The namic Arc which was 530 000 to 120 million so even if you said you know final form produces only 60 million and 100 power was like some amp it'd still be like a hundred bulb almost so Piccolo was severely outgunned by base Goku and obviously base Goku absorbs Super Saiyan God and this was why so we see this then against Frost right and it seems to take Super Saiyan to handle frost over 50 times what it took to fight against Frieza then even Vegeta when he comes in seems to take Frost pretty seriously and he's actually kind of going out in Super Saiyan to fight him and Goku and Vegeta are considered relatively even they were scrapping for years on end of the Time Chamber so then you have Piccolo come in he might be 50 times weaker than oku and Vegeta and then he's able to make a multi-shadow clone plan with his stretchy arms and create a special beam Cannon which allegedly would have one shot Frost now remember special beam cannon from Piccolo also blew through the barrier that bados made that many attacks the third form Frost at full power and base Goku were not able to do but this special beam Cannon may have actually amped it by over 50 times possibly over 200 times if you think the disparity between Goku and Vegeta hasn't changed in base form but it actually gets even more impressive as Piccolo seems to master the special beam Cannon even further and in Dragon Ball super the reason I say this is because eventually by the time Gohan has his rematch with Goku it seems like Piccolo and bass Gohan were actually somewhat relative and then when Gohan goes ultimate that Piccolo can still actually consider his special Bean Cannon their ultimate trump card in all their combos so this Super Saiyan blue level Gohan that required Goku to go Kaioken Piccolo can charge up his special beam Cannon to be super saiyan blue Goku level basically with their combos after charging it long enough and it's considered pretty much the strongest thing in their little Duo and the whole point they do is for him to charge up the attack to that degree which is another reason I consider ultimate Piccolo probably blue level because if he can charge up a special beam cannon that strong why would ultimate Piccolo just be weaker than something you can do with a special beam Cannon though that's kind of a little bit of my rationale with that also he also has the light grenade from Kami and the hell Zone grenade the hell Zone grenade creates basically like a Minefield so the opponent can't escape and the hell Zone grenade might be considered stronger than the special beam Cannon however it seems like he never honed the hell Zone grenade nearly as much as the special beam Cannon the special beam Cannon seems to be like this limitlessly chargeable thing that can be used against almost anybody so long as you have the right amount of time almost like a Spirit Bomb so Piccolo if he is caught up to Goku and the others let's say he is ultra instin Goku and Ultra ego Vegeta level well is when he charges up that special beam Cannon to be 400 times stronger than his base form or even like three times would he just be stronger than Goku with a special beam Cannon so I'm really hoping that something like that happens anyways guys I hope you enjoyed the video thank you for watching have a good day
