With the latest trailer stirring up excitement, fans are eagerly anticipating Piccolo's revamped appearance. Here's the scoop on what's been revealed so far.
Dragon Ball enthusiasts are thrilled by the continuous expansion of the franchise under Akira Toriyama's creative direction. Dragon Ball Super continues to evolve, introducing a world brimming with potential. The narrative grows richer, with key characters undergoing significant transformations to fit into this expansive universe.
Up until now, most power-ups have been centered around the Saiyan warriors. However, the teasers and trailers for the upcoming anime installment, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, hint at an unprecedented power-up for Piccolo. As one of the franchise's standout characters, Piccolo has been underutilized, prompting long-time fans to eagerly await his significant role in the upcoming battle.
8. What Will the New Form Be Called?
The names of transformations often reflect the strength they bestow, and Dragon Ball has a penchant for humor in naming characters and Super Saiyan forms alike. Looking back at previous story arcs, various Namekian forms were simply dubbed Super Namekian. Thus, it wouldn't be surprising if Piccolo's new power-up follows suit, bearing a resemblance to Gohan's Ultimate form. Speculations abound, suggesting Piccolo may become Ultimate Piccolo or even Potential Unlocked Piccolo. While these names may lack grandeur, fans hope the power they bring will leave audiences in awe.
7. Why Did Piccolo's New Appearance Take So Long?
The revelations about Piccolo's new look have sent shockwaves through the fan community. In terms of action, this new power promises thrilling moments for fans. It's been a long time since Piccolo appeared with a fresh technique or form, hence the birth of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero to satisfy fans' cravings. With Pan, Gohan's daughter, kidnapped, Gohan embarks on a quest to hunt down Reb Ribbon. Piccolo may find himself in a negative psychological state if anything uncertain happens to Gohan or Pan, as intense emotions could lead to the emergence of Ultimate Piccolo.
6. How Strong Is Piccolo's New State?
Any new abilities Piccolo gains are cause for celebration, but without suitable strength, they won't make a significant impact. Characters like Goku and Vegeta truly possess godly power, which compels Piccolo to reach an equivalent level. Ultimate Piccolo seems to adhere to similar principles as Old Kai's Ultimate for Gohan.
This means all of Piccolo's latent power will surface, indicating substantial investment in this new form. Piccolo will at least reach the level Ultimate Gohan attained in the Buu Saga, or possibly even surpass it. Ultimate Piccolo is expected to achieve power comparable to Super Saiyan Blue at the very least.
5. Has Piccolo's Appearance Changed?
The teasers for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero seem to hint at Piccolo undergoing a transformation into Ultimate form. While we haven't seen the complete picture of Piccolo post-transformation, there appear to be some differences in Piccolo's appearance and body contours. Previous Namekian upgrades barely showed any physical alterations. Nonetheless, fans eagerly anticipate Dragon Ball's creative prowess in introducing significant physical transformations or explanations for Piccolo's evolution.
