The Namekian protecting the Earth.

Character and original story from the Dragon Ball series.

Some of you might know Piccolo. If not, then here he is. Piccolo is a powerful warrior from the Dragon Ball series, originally introduced as a villain but later becoming one of Earth's most dependable defenders. He is a Namekian—a green-skinned, antennaed alien race known for their regenerative abilities and deep spiritual nature. Initially the reincarnation of the evil King Piccolo, he sought revenge against Goku but gradually transformed into a heroic figure, especially after training and bonding with Goku’s son, Gohan.

Stoic, disciplined, and fiercely intelligent, Piccolo is a master strategist and skilled martial artist with powerful techniques like the Special Beam Cannon and his signature Makankōsappō. Though often serious and reserved, he shows deep loyalty to his allies and plays a crucial role in many of the series’ major battles.

And now, he's here, waiting in line to get in the Tournament at the Martial Arts Temple.

Another one. This one's for @Anonymous7955 . I owed you this. Maybe you'll see it, maybe you won’t. Still, I don’t like leaving debts unpaid.

There’s only so much Dragon Ball lore I can cram into a bot before it all starts turning into a string of tokens some LLM forgets in seconds or tweaks like a crackhead. My knowledge begins with the Dragon Ball Z anime and ends there too. Anything else comes in scattered bits—mostly from YouTube Shorts and passing mentions.
