away from his most recent exposition of major power during his latestDragon Ballappearance in the filmDragon Ball Super : Super Hero , Piccolohas pretty much been put on the out of bounds compared to the other heroes and villains he was once on - par with , which is a far cry from his former Clarence Shepard Day Jr. inDragon Ballwhere even the gods of their world secretly considered Piccolo a vainglorious threat than evenFrieza .

Upon his institution , Piccolo was not aDragon Ballhero – in fact , he was one of the cruelest villains in the history of the franchise . Piccolo began his career as a being who consider himselfa literal demon , King Piccolo , who ’s one and only goal was to throw the universe into chaos and inspire abominable acts of violence in every citizen . Before he was able to take over the world for any significant amount of time , Goku kills King Piccolo , but before the villain die , he create an egg containing his reincarnated material body – the version of Piccolo fan know and love today . While the reincarnated Piccolo altogether redeem himself for the malign actions of his previous life , he patently did n’t earn everyone ’s trustfulness by the time Frieza came around .

bear on : Piccolo Accidentally Spoiled Dragon Ball ’s Most Iconic Moment

InDragon Ballchapter 314 by Akira Toriyama , Goku and Frieza are in the heart of their iconic competitiveness on Planet Namek . Meanwhile , Piccolo is stand off in the length with Krillin and Gohan , monitor the fight and being ready to enter if it seemed like Goku want him to . In this chapter , Goku is losing pretty terribly to Frieza , and the Saiyan decides that the only move he has left to play is the Spirit Bomb . When Goku begins this technique , Piccolo is stunned as he has no estimation what Goku is doing . It is only until Krillin tells Piccolo that King Kai taught Goku that move during their last preparation session that Piccolo finds out about the universe of the Spirit Bomb . Piccolo even unchurch King Kai at this moment for demonstrate Goku and not him despite the fact that Piccolo was just train with King Kai , saying , “ He never said anything about that to me … ” .

King Kai is a god over an entire sector of planets in theDragon Balluniverse , and he has maintain Earth for a very long time . Because of this , King Kai knowsexactly how destructive Piccolo can beif he want to , which is most likely why King Kai decided not to share with him this specific technique as it has the potential to destroy an entire major planet without enfeeble the user of just any power since Spirit Bombs draw in from the ki of those around the person make it rather than just that person alone . However , Piccolo was just civilise with King Kai for the sole intention of becoming powerful enough to kill Frieza , so it seems like King Kai really should have shown Piccolo everything he eff to ascertain that Frieza would be get the better of – but the fact that he did n’t indicates that King Kai is secretly more afraid of Piccolo ’s potential than Frieza ’s current threat horizontal surface .

It make sense why King Kai would n’t want to help make Piccolo more powerful than he has to , given the particular of Piccolo ’s past times . Not only was Piccolo a scoundrel who believe himself to be a literal demon , he was also the avatar of every ounce of evil expelled from the eubstance of Earth ’s God , Kami . So , Piccolo was n’t just a Namekian who run bad , but the hard negative spin-off of a mortal reaching the level of a god , and King Kai – being a god himself – know exactly how grave something like that sincerely is . Friezais a homicidal autocrat and a trash of the universe to be sure , but King Kai still sawPiccoloas a much biggerDragon Ballthreat – and the fact that he did n’t instruct him the Spirit Bomb when he really should have proves it .
