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.

Damn, I never even considered the fact that Orange Piccolo is Orange because he not only got a power up from the dragonballs, but the fact that it basically IS Piccolo absorbing Shenron, or at least what part of Kami's soul was used to make Shenron

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.'

That sounds much better.

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. Edit: I also really like how the characters are now getting their own power/new forms from character development.

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.

the ultimate form is the true potential of the super namekian, a person who could've apparently low-diff'd freeza on namek is a both a dragon and warrior type namekian, and the orange form is piccolo's own hard work realized into a literal form, something akin to a super saiyan.

Piccolo has been one of my favorite characters from the start of DBZ. I love his relationship with Gohan, and I am glad they showed that side of him in this movie. He finally gets the respect he deserves in DBS Superhero and that is why it is so great.

I always identified with Gohan and my dad wasn't around for a lot of my childhood. (Everything's good now) I just say that to emphasize that I've always loved piccolo as a character since I was a little boy and his fatherly attitude toward gohan was something I needed to see at that age.

I know some people don't like Orange Piccolo, but I personally think him unlocking his new tier of bullshit power from the Dragon Balls is wonderful and ties back into his origin and connection to the namesake of the series, down to his new form being colored like a Dragon Ball. Goku, Vegeta and the other saiyans have the whole super saiyan legend heritage but Piccolo has the more mystical roots tied to the wish granting orbs and the dragon which, again, are the very namesake of the series. Its easy to forget because how much he feel by the wayside since the Android saga but he's easily one of the characters most tied deeply to the series lore and universe, due to having once been Kami.

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.

10:22 thanks to this I can potentially see why he's specifically orange. He's basically the same color as the Dragon Balls because of his power from Shenron. If that was planned (who knows with Toriyama) then that is just incredible. (edit) And then you mentioned later it in the video, further proof that you should watch the video completely before commenting.

Moreso than just the dragonballs, Orange Piccolo's color makes me think of the Super Dragon and his as-of-yet-unseen creator

My boy finally getting the recognition he deserves.

I hadn't had the chance to see the movie. One thing or another popped up and I kept pushing it back. Despite friends pleading with me to watch it. Then Akira Toriyama passed and I/like many others was depressed. That following weekend, I finally watched it. The further the film went on, the more joy it brought me. For a brief moment I felt like I was 15 years old watching Dragon Ball Z during the midnight run of Toonami. I watched until the end credits, and realized this was possibly the last handiwork of Toriyama. Now I am sad again.

Daima was actually heavily worked on before his passing so that will be his final work on the series this fall :’)

I love how beast gohan looks but they definitely put more effort into giving piccolos transformation meaning and it just felt right. Looks super badass too. Hoping the manga adds more meaning to gohans too.

Yeah, Orange Piccolo is definitely the better power up, but Beast Gohan is by no means bad. The design overall is really excellent, especially the red eyes

@@GoblinWrangler69for sure. I love the design very much. That included the big hair. I think it’ll grow on people more if they make the transformation make sense in the future

Great explanation of piccolo’s origin I’m glad piccolo is getting some shine again it’s been far too long

I feel like now that Piccolo is finally complete, he is no longer a half of a Namekian, he fused with another Namekian completing him even more, and finally getting all his potential unlock, he look almost complete but strangly i feel more like this is a new start to the devlopment of Piccolo, he is finally entirely himself and now he can finally really grow has the Earthling Namekian he is

Damn this is great. I was never a massive fan of the Orange Piccolo design but the whole Shenron+Dragon Ball influence is something that I never though of and completely justifies it.

Ya know Carthu, I have watched you many times. And nothing has made me emotional. But today it did. Nicely done my man. Much love!!!! And very well put.

Beautiful video ❤ I love Piccolo, and as a DBZ fan since I was a kid, I have come to better understand him, and appreciate him, even more now. Super Hero caught me off guard with Orange Piccolo, his first transformation scene with the Ajisa tree is majestic, astoundingly beautiful. The meaning behind it is as powerful as it can be, and seeing Piccolo fulfilled as both a Namekian and a warrior is priceless. Spectacular video, greetings from Argentina!

I've seen your shorts before, but this longer form video is what got me to subscribe!

Great video for Piccolo fans to enjoy. Hope to see more characters get their focused video later on.

What a great explanation of a character! It just makes me happy seeing piccolo get the respect he deserves he’s one of my favorite anime characters

I've rewatched this video already about~ 4x and man. We need more content like this, you really knocked it out of the ballpark with this video, glad to see it :D

You definitely gave Piccolo his flowers with this one, bro

Good to see our favourite Pickle finally get ripened

Piccolo has come a long way in his character growth from supposed to becoming King Piccolo's successor and taking over the world to becoming a new Protector of Earth like his friends. I'm happy, Piccolo got a lot of love in the Super Hero Movie because he deserved it. 🙂

the writing of the story and characters is so well written. i think alot of people give akira toriyama flack for "making up stuff" or "not planning ahead" but he has written these characters so well

a poetic story about a green alien that can become big and has stretchy arms.

Piccolo has always been one of my favourite DB characters, I'm really happy to see him get more love after such a long time

I like how u go into depth for this stuff cause db haters always try and say the show has no depth that everything is an asspull but this just goes to show how much thought they put into it

This was fun! Piccolo has been my favorite character since Z and I’m glad he’s getting more development. 😊

What an emotional gut punch of a finale, please don't stop Making these vids, I love your stuff!

Fun fact: Piccolo is Akira Toriyama's favorite character.

I love piccolo he’s one of my favourite redeeming characters in all of Dragonball

That's the reason why Akira toriyama likes: piccolo and finally give the respect he deserves since DBZ .

Great analysis! 👍

I have always predicted a new transformation for piccolo and now, it’s finally here. I guessed that he would somehow merge with the dragon balls similar to the way omega Shenron did, and he did, in a way. I predicted the color too. “I love your content btw, keep it up”

If Broly, Gohan, Frieza, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Granolah all surpassed the power level of Jiren from the TOP at least have Krillin, Tien and Yamaha have a power level that is close to or rivals SSJ god, I know Trunks and Goten are eventually gonna get stronger too and androids 17 and 18 including Gamma 1 are already powerful in their own right.

This was a beautiful retrospective, thank you Carthu.

Other people: OrAnGe PiCcOlO iS aN aSsPuLl. He DiDn’T eArN tHiS pOwEr! Carthu’s Dojo: Boi shut up and sit down. It’s story time.

Honestly Piccolo has been my favorite character in the Dragon Ball. It just sucks that he doesn’t get as much respect as he deserves, but so glad they finally gave him a much needed power up.

I kinda want to include what you said, I think in many ways Piccolo also has slowly becoming the Namekian Savior and Super Namekian of legends, he's fully become the Son of Katas, the Nameless Namekian.

Awesome video! Thank you!

loved it! thanks for the analysis!

Piccolo has always been one of my favourite Dragon Ball characters and this video perfectly encapsulates why. Well done, sir!

This is going to be amazing since it's from Carthu Dojo. Just like with all other Dragonball content.

Awesome vid man!!! 👌

Recently got into your channel and been loving your DB analysis videos! This was definitely one of the best! 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.

Now just give the humans (specifically Tien) their own transformations! I absolutely love Tien and I think they should give Tien a alien like form
