What If Pigero Was Canon? Part 1 | Dragon Ball Z

The original run of Dragon Ball Z had lots of filler and lots of filler characters, however in my opinion none are cooler (heh) or more wasted as a potentially interesting character as a teenage orphan gang leader who once took in and mentored Gohan while he was training to survive the wilderness: Pigero. We've once looked at what could happen if ALL of Z's filler were made canon and even gave Pigero some of his due then, but what exactly would happen if we brought him into the main story and spent a little more time focusing on what this human version of Piccolo jr could bring to the table? That is what I intend to find out!

Quick thing I thought I should catch before this goes truly live, at one point I mention a pre saiyan saga power level as Krillin's, it is actually supposed to be Tien's!

[@overheatedfrost8947]

So Pigero has a power level of 250, Pigero really is the goat then.

[@Se_prpductions23]

It's ight man we all make mistakes

[@josephandrews8727]

Pretty dope though, if we just 2x Krillin's final canon power level that'd make Pigero's namek power level 150,000 at the least!

[@isaiahjones7813]

would you be open to doing a what if you were in naruto?? you don't gotta make the dude overpowered or smth I'm cool w u just having him just contribute to the plot in some way, shape or form

[@djjoshua1698]

❤ listen to I want to see more this day has a ton of potential I don't want to make mistake of please I bet the people in the past of this video doesn't even like him but like I said to receive him as I don't compare to Majin Buu or least some form of I don't know somehow being a strongest human

[@blazerk9561]

Pigero was always goated, he had the potential to be Gohan's Krillin or Yamcha in a way

[@littleaqua32]

He’d have more potential than Krillin and Yamcha, since in this what if he seems to be self taught before ever meeting Gohan.

[@redzedz4737]

@@redzedz4737 not to sound elitist but this is such a new age db take, like old school Yamcha used to be one of the coolest and most effective Z-fighters and even when he gets shit on in modern stuff he's still always willing to stand up with his friends and fight lol and he is definitely stronger than most normal people in the series, if he wanted to he could just instantly dethrone Mr. Satan and live the easy life Buu would probably fall asleep before he could even stop him lmaooo

[@ricodavis86]

OH MY GOODNESS I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD HIS NAME SO LONG AND I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE ELSE EVEN NOTICED AND I'M LOSING MY FREAKING MIND PLUS ULTRA MAN AND YOU ARE THE MOTHER LOVING BUSINESS!!! I'm not even going to lie it's been so long I was starting to think that I imagined him as a character?

[@thaddusbone2077]

I enjoyed Pigero being able to suggest Piccolo to train with others due to his background. Great use of character

[@FizzyMcSoda]

I like this story; I never imagined a what if based on Pigero being involved would be a thing. Hope it gets to the 2k mark soon. xD

[@PlusUltraMan]

I'm glad you enjoyed! I don't think it'll take too long to hit it, but worst comes to worse we'll just start uploading the series weekly once its finished for members and patrons, I'm expecting like 15 - 16 parts in total and I'm currently working on Part 4

[@jakubwiktor5874]

to be honest most of og and z dragon balls fillers shodul be example on how those fillers shodul by done

[@overheatedfrost8947]

Yes, this is awesome, Pigero truly is the GOAT, the z fighters are stronger because they all trained together, thanks to Pigero's idea, nice, also love the renders for Pigero.

[@wires-sl7gs]

Very interesting video, I like how you handled Pigero and how much influence you had him have so far, looking forward to the next part. I hope maybe you can justify the characters getting Kaioken somehow so they can keep up with Super Saiyans, maybe with more of the Human Z-Fighters seeing it or something? Also you should definitely check out Beanbio Yami's "How strong could the earthlings be if they actually tried?"

[@taylormansonshadicstorm9008]

Can’t wait man!!!!

[@FLAMEandICE_]

This was awesome!!!!! Pigero is my favorite DBZ filler character of all time & seeing him get the deserved credit is so nicce to see

[@PlusUltraMan]

Its currently available to patrons and channel members!

[@avidorpheus7257]

Honestly it's good to watch a what if that everyone else hasn't done and most probably wouldn't even think of. And to top it off, the story had a nice consistency and flow. I am eager to see the next part hopefully soon.

[@PlusUltraMan]

Glad you enjoyed it! You guys are around 929 likes away from beating that goal so I'm thinking by next month Part 2 will be rolling out since it only took about 3 days to get over 1000

[@ziongamer6905]

I had a What If that I wrote with a friend on Pigero being canon and a Z-Fighter. I love the idea of it and having more humans are always fun underdog stories to me.

[@questionfor9502]

Honestly I'm excited to see him again it's been a decade since I watched those episodes but he still stuck in my head for just how cool he was which given he's a filler character and I couldn't tell you half the names in super says something

[@jsauce8669]

Great first vid! Excited to see where this goes next 🎉

[@Trap5656]

Yes! Pigero, let's go! 🎉 Huh, interesting change with him been 12 and closer to Gohan's age, but it makes the dynamic duo of Gohan and Pigero all the more better. 👍 Oh nice, because of Pigero's influence, Gohan has better control on his Rage and all the Z-Fighters train together once a week. An idea, maybe the Son Family adopts Pigero. Finally they Saiyan will be in for a harder fight, then canon, that's for sure. 👍 Anyways another really good start to this new series, and looking forward to the next part soon.

[@pedrosaabedra5653]

Yes I been waiting for this awesome what if, Pigero would have been the best underrated z fighter.

[@threeoclocks1040]

Awesome story. Hopefully, the support will help you to make more Pigero content. I am enjoying the story.

[@Fitzftw7]

It’s been a while since I’ve watched a PUM what-if. I skipped at first because I had no idea who Pigero is, but I’m glad I watched it. I always love seeing human representation in Dragon Ball stories. I hope we get to see more in the near future.

[@doonkeythegreatsullivan9459]

I almost forgot about this character. Man it’s been a long time.

[@jojojohnson9647]

We'll see what he can do!

[@neolord1215]

Great video, I didn't expect him to change things so much so quickly. I may be remembering wrong but if I'm not Nappa has a power level of like 4,000 so that bozo is getting cooked.

[@PlusUltraMan]

Thats his initial but based off how ineffective Piccolo at 3500 and Krillin at 1770 were working together and Goku feeling a need to use a Kaioken at a pl of over 8000 to catch up to him before he attacked Gohan and Krillin its safe to assume he was anywhere from 5k-7.5k when he really got going

[@assassin139]

I am not surprised anymore that you can make a What If idea that sounds uninteresting on paper but make it into a masterpiece

[@demoncet1998]

I always think that dragon ball needed more humans that could use ki, a what if where more of Shen and Roshi's fellow students under Mutaiito survived piccolo and went on to train more students on the same level of krillin and tien

[@Eric6761]

I could imagine Mutaito taking wathever Roshi used to be imortal to age and be a great master to Goku, the guy could teach 3 figthing styles and several ki techniques also learning to fly early

[@TheKingOfRooks]

Oh fuck how dope I was literally just commenting on the Budokai Tenkaichi 4 subreddit about how I'd want a "What If Piggero was canon" what if story where he trains with Gohan and is the one to bounce back the Spirit Bomb or something lol

[@kyronhoward9935]

Keep up the fantastic work

[@SionReaver]

In a sea of ssj6 and such what ifs I love ones that give humans some shine. Sad this likely wont continue since didn't hit the like goal. I hope you reconsider though since this is a newer char to some, as pointed out. On aside, given that Pigero is the Only Z-fighter pushing for team tactics and working together, they'll likely all be many times stronger then their canon counter parts. More people learning Kaioken for example. I used to think humans had a slow growth rate but a vid called 'how strong could earthlings be if they tried' changed my mind. The truth is, post King Kai their training sucks. They don't really take advantage of everything before them. Even Tien doesn't bother with stuff like the chamber or gravity training. He's like the guy that always goes to the gym doing the same weights he got used to and wonders why his gains are small or non existent.

[@PlusUltraMan]

Do you think the like goal has to be hit the moment the video goes live?

@@nilesstark But would the adult Z Fighters protect them and take the hit?

[@nilesstark]

@SeatonTube 2000 2.0 The adult Z's were first to go. Yamcha got whacked by a Saibaman, the others by just Nappa. Sadly, the most everyone would do is by more time until Goku showed up. But in fairness, Pigero would be the strongest of the kids even after training with Piccolo.

[@maniacgreen8609]

He was my favorite filler character

[@ModaNBA]

Peak story, peak character

[@socialaccount0000]

Pigero getting a power level of 275 is a bit of a stretch, especially with it being before he trains with Piccolo. Besides that, I enjoyed the video, although I'm not really sure how drastic of a change one extra human Z fighter will make.

[@PlusUltraMan]

Well Gohan's potential + his own potential seemingly being far greater than most humans + him working as hard as he did make it pretty doable. Roshi, Goku, and Tenshinhan were able to get into the 180s without really even being able to understand or sense ki so even if it is a tiny bit of a highball its in recognition of those factors not just a "me think cool guy should be stronk" no matter how you cut it 180 would be the baseline and the highball would therefore be 360 so I was honestly fairly modest

Hell in super we see him use it to out smart and defenst a mutch stronger enemy. Also you don’t even anwser my question about the for witch 🧙 with don’t seem to lower he’s arm strength at all ad give nappa little ripe one arm off growing tree more to off set the lose seems like a natural counter not to mention tein use dowdon rays instead of kama mama with only need one arm to use and have a verity that can be rapidly fired you think growing four arms and cutting louse would be his defacto opening move.

Technically he is 8 but actually he is 24 at start of z

Piccolo Jr. Technically isn't from Namek and he, Kami, and Daimaou didn't even remeber it or its timeframe so not even they would use it to determine their ages. Also fairly sure Piccolo's age was refrenced fairly recently and based off the number stated he's still using earth's time frame or else the number would have been nearly 3x bigger lol even if its on a technicality he doesn't seem to recognize it that way
