Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero has already premiered in Latin America. The film written by Akira Toriyama, produced by Toei Animation and directed by Tetsuro Kodama presentsamong other things, to Piccolo executing a new transformation that raises his fighting level.
How strong does Piccolo get? It is precisely what we are going to talk about according to what Akira Toriyama himself has said, creator father of this saga and one of the main Namek fans.
One of the main focuses of the film is Gohan. The first Saiyan / human in history also achieves a transformation during the film in which the Z Fighters face the Red Patrol.
His name is Gohan Beast and according to the indications shown at the beginning by the writers, the young Saiyan would have surpassed his father and Vegeta in power level. But hey, that’s for the future where we can really compare in a battle. For now let’s go with Piccolo.
Piccolo’s level in DBS Super Hero
In the development of this film, Piccolo becomes Orange, a transformation that makes him gain muscles and raises his ki. Also, the characteristic skin color of his face turns orange.
Akira Toriyama said in an interview given at the film’s premiere in Japan that he “was glad that Piccolo was on a level close to Goku.” So, we already know that the Namekian can once again hold a battle against the powerful Saiyans.
While it is true that Piccolo is a warrior who always trains to improve himself, we think that his abilities had already hit their own limit. The film shows us that it is not and a report from DBS Hypeexplains how he achieves it.
In the first place, to try to raise his power, Piccolo would have turned to Dendé and his power as Patriarch of a planet. Let’s remember that the arc of Namek, the Great Patriarch awakens the hidden power of Gohan and Krillin to give them a little advantage against threats.
Piccolo would have tried the same thing and the attempt was not as effective. So, they say that he asked Shenron to awaken his power, similar to what he did Granola and Gas in the current Dragon Ball Super manga arc.
