~ Piccolo to Gohan as he dies in Dragon Ball GT

Summary

Piccolo is the reincarnation of King Piccolo, born with the simple goal of killing Son Goku and avenging his father at any cost. A wise, expert strategist, he was initially one of Goku's most ruthless enemies, but after training and bonding with his son, Gohan, in preparation for the arrival of the Saiyans, he began to become a better person, eventually joining the Z Fighters as one of their most skilled warriors.

Stamina: Superhuman (Piccolo's stamina is one of his greatest assets, allowing him to fight against Goku even when badly injured over the course of their fight and taking his most powerful attacks.

Standard Equipment: His weighted clothing

Intelligence: Gifted (Piccolo is an incredibly skilled and experienced fighter, growing further in wisdom and knowledge after fusing with Nail and then Kami. He is a strategic, careful fighter, playing dead to bait Goku into dropping his guard in their first fight, and acting like he was defeated to get information after Cell absorbed some of his energy and disabled his arm. He's also quite skilled at judging the strength and abilities of others and analyzing their abilities, quickly detecting that Goku wasn't at his best when he was fighting Android 19 and that Vegeta would be outlasted and defeated by Android 18)

Weaknesses: Piccolo's regeneration is stamina based and he cannot regenerate if his brain is destroyed. | Has an incredibly sensitive hearing, and high-pitched noises such as whistling will cause him physical pain.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

The fighting power and life force of a martial artist, a tangible energy derived from the user's vigor, courage, and mind. It can be used in a number of ways, such as to surpass the limits of one's body to greatly increase in strength, and it can be fired as blasts of energy or used to create defensive barriers. Along with his Namekian heritage and Dragon Clan status, this is the source of Piccolo's superhuman capabilities and power. He is incredibly skilled in the art of ki control. He often fires powerful blasts of ki from his mouth.

  • Antenna Beam (かいこうせん Kaikōsen?): Piccolo can fire arcs of electricity from his antennae.
  • Chasing Bullet (ついだん Tsuibidan?): A powerful and fast blast of ki that rapidly homes in on Piccolo's target.
  • Explosive Demon Wave: (ばくりき Bakurikimaha?) Inherited from his father, this is one of Piccolo's signature techniques. Supporting his leading arm with the other, he fires a powerful wave of ki straight forwards.
  • Eye Lasers (こうせんがん Kōsengan?): Piccolo can fire lasers from his eyes.
  • Hellzone Grenade (くうほうだん Makūhōidan?): One of Piccolo's most powerful techniques. Piccolo fires a large barrage of ki blasts, which lie suspended in the air around his opponent before they fly at them from all directions, causing a massive explosion.
  • Light Grenade (げきれつこうだん Gekiretsu Kōdan?): After bringing his hands together, Piccolo charges up and fires a high-power sphere of energy straight at his opponent, causing a massive explosion.
  • Special Beam Cannon (かんこうさっぽう Makankōsappō?) One of Piccolo's signature attacks. After bringing his index and middle fingers to his forehead, Piccolo charges up and fires a spiraling laser that can drill through most opponents.
  • Cloning: Piccolo uses this technique to sprout identical sparring partners, notably in Break Wasteland during the Vegeta Saga, once again during the Garlic Jr. Saga, and in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber during the Cell Games Saga.

As a member of the Dragon Clan, Piccolo has several magical abilities.

  • Magic Materialization: Piccolo can create objects and clothing, seemingly out of thin air, often using this to create his weighted clothing whenever he has a need for it.

Piccolo is a Namekian, a long-lived race of slug-like aliens with exceptional hearing. This grants him several abilities, most notably the power to regrow lost limbs and destroyed organs as long as his head remains intact. He can also extend his arms to great lengths to attack and grab opponents from a distance, and he can even use his regenerative powers to greatly increase his body's volume, growing significantly in size as a result.

  • Demon Hand (しゅ Mashu?): A Namekian user stretches their arms by expanding and contracting the cells in their body through willpower. This allows them to grab and attack opponents that are out of the normal reach of the user's unstretched arms.
