How Strong Is Piccolo?

In this video, we go over everything Piccolo has ever done over the years in the main continuity and determine how strong he is Includes everything in the anime, guides, manga, interviews, and so on. This video will provide every single piece of material you can imagine and explain just how strong Piccolo is at every point in the series from every perspective.
Goes over every arc from Piccolo's journey starting from when he was still called King Piccolo, and MaJunior during the 23rd Budokai Arcs into his later years during Saiyan, Namek, Frieza, Androids, Cell, Majin Buu, and Fusion Arcs, into his continuation into Battle of Gods, Revival of Frieza, Universe 6 Tournament, Tournament of Power, Moro, and Dragon Ball Super Hero. Also goes over every multiplier for his evolutions and forms, including how strong removing his weights makes him, his fusion with Nail, Kami Fusion, Ultimate Form, and new Orange Piccolo form, as well as the uses and abilities of his notable abilities and how they can be used in combat and they exact way they can be used in battles we haven't seen in the show and the limits of these abilities, such as the limits of Special Beam Cannon / Makankosappo, Hyper Explosive Demon Wave, Hellzone Grenade, Light Grenade, regeneration, creation magics, precognition etc. Dissects every form / transformation of Piccolo and its uses / abilities / their power levels if available. This video does not include the Dragon Ball / Z movies, Dragon Ball GT, or any Dragon Ball video games such as Dragon Ball Heroes / Xenoverse etc.
The video also includes fight analysis and breakdowns and not just scaling, for battles such as Piccolo vs Goku, Gohan VS Goku, Super Saiyan Goku vs Android 19, Super Kaioken Goku vs Pikkon, Piccolo and Gotenks VS Vegeta, Piccolo VS Gohan, Super Saiyan God Goku vs Beerus, Piccolo VS Frost (Goku /Vegeta), Ultra Instinct Goku vs Jiren, Ultra Instinct Goku vs Jiren, Ultimate Piccolo VS Gamma 2, Orange Piccolo and Gohan Beast VS Cell Max and much much more.
Includes every piece of information relevant to this discussion from Dragon Ball, Dragonball Z, and Dragon Ball Super, and also goes over manga vs anime differences and offers interpretations and arguments for both versions.

[@SethTheProgrammer]

nobody asked, but it now exist. you're welcome there is a guide (dbs interval special) that is repeated again in another that says that base gohan is actually ultimate gohan in the manga vs Kefla (no bang) but then he gets the bang during Super Hero after an angry transformation. so take that as you will, this obviously doesn't change anything about Piccolo's scaling, other than making his Ultimate Form vs Gamma 2 more grounded. I would recommend using the Goku vs Broly stuff the most anyway.

Yet another Seth banger

[@drunkenrage8996]

Love ya for it tho lol

[@TypetwoAbsolute]

Its been my headcanon that the reason why the Shenron potential unlock was so successful for Piccolo was because it unlocked the potentials of 2-3 namekians not just Piccolo as an entity himself.

[@priestesslucy3299]

It was unlocking the potential of The Nameless Namekian. A monster who was expected to have just naturally matured into power capable of defeating Frieza (not to say Saichoro was necessarily correct, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Great Elder was able to sense an approximation of the power sealed within Frieza below his suppression forms.) Bear in mind, just one half of the Nameless Namekian demonstrates potential comparable to Goku and Vegeta, he just lags behind because he lacks the Saiyan Race's hax to break through plateaus far more easily than other races and lacks transformations to tap into latent potential on demand. From where I'm standing, the Nameless Namekian is a monster with potential on par with Goten and Trunks, far above that of Goku and Vegeta but below the apex monsters of Broly, Gohan and Frieza.

[@DarkEclipse23]

@@priestesslucy3299and that’s still headcanon. The nameless namekian was still the two old ass nameks half of guru’s age. Also. Guru didnt know Frieza’s true power. Kamicolo only stood tall against 17 because he fused with ANOTHER Namekian prior.

[@Justpassingby204]

@@DarkEclipse23I loved that fight btw

[@MalosiVA]

Pretty much, because Kami was still his own entity despite being reunited with piccolo (source: piccolo & Gohan vs U6 Namekians) Meaning Nail, Kami AND PICCOLO got their potentials unlocked. Two warrior namekians, and the creator of the previous Shenron (before Dende upgraded him).

[@Alexander-ix2jp]

​​@@priestesslucy3299Agreed, Piccolo and Kami are two halfs of the very same coin and one and the same person. His new orange dragon king form could be limitless now.

[@blizzardthewizardlizard]

I wish more characters get there own movies centered around them so they can real showcase their abilities and improve. Krillin and Tien were both rivals to Goku at some point and it would be nice to see them actually face off against a villian without getting absolutely destroyed.

[@lapplandkun9273]

Too late and they aren't the main characters unfortunately

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

They should give yamcha his own film where they make vidro Canon. Not every DragonBall movie needs to be a universal threat. It can be a smaller scale film, too, as long as the writing is good.

Tien is perpetually training and is also of a warrior race. He should at least not be getting fodderized by anything that looks at him with ill intent.

I actually really wanted this thanks so much seth

[@Omniseed]

I'd guess Piccolo displays extreme regenerative abilities partly because of the nature of his conception and birth, where Demon King Piccolo may have created an offspring that would be able to survive the kind of injury that killed his fathermother. Maybe it was just a latent Namekian ability that was particularly heavily developed in Piccolo and not a completely novel adaptation

[@Numbers2133]

If in case anyone asks. Yes. Its precisely thanks to Seth's Long-Format Videos like Goku and of Course, Piccolo's, that I myself was inspired to do my own Composite Scaling for all the movie villains and other characters. Sometimes, its the tiny nuance of the writing, their abilities, to weird statements and canonicity that can make these characters stupidly OP. Love to see these videos come to light because its really awesome to re-evaluate the characters to their opmost calibre, as well as enhance our reason to love (or hate lol) these characters. Piccolo will forever be THE GOAT!

[@thegreatkabukino6639]

Another banger as usual. Just wanted to throw my two cents in while I'm still awake at 4am across the world over here in Finland. I like the subtle religious tone of piccolo fusing with kami being that no matter how old you are, it's never too late to cleanse the evil from your heart. The reincarnated literal demon lord finds his way back to God and becomes one with God, being totally changed afterwards. It's actually such a religious experience that piccolo at first doesn't even want to use his old name, much like how born again Christians or even recovering alcoholics like to use a different name (like wanting to be called Robert instead of Bob for instance) and it fits really well considering this is a world where Buddhism and Christianity exists. I think this is also represented as you say with the speech bubbles being different, but it manages to do this and have this subtlety to it and is able to pull it off without straight up forcing it down your throat. Piccolo has always been my favorite character from way back in the series when I very first seen him get back his youth and vigor. The old demon king, the reborn Ma Junior all the way to orange papi. Glad to see someone besides Quamaan give some love to the OG.
