is a transformation that is an evolved form of the Power Awakening state used by Piccolo.
==Overview==
===Concept and Creation===
thumb|left|The symbol of Namekian pride
This is Piccolo's first "proper" transformation, due to the Namekian lacking any hair change to denote the transformation he was made muscular and orange. The mark on the back of his gi represents a symbol of Namekian pride, consisting of a symbolic Ajisa tree in the middle that soon materializes into an orb shape, connecting via a line to an outer circle that represents Shenron.Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero novel, 
===Appearance===
In this form, Piccolo becomes noticeably taller and bulkier, his pupils become red, gains black pigments around his eyes, his skin becomes orange (a dark orange on his arms). His antennae point sharply upward, his nails become noticeably shorter and he maintains the lack of lines on his arms from his Power Awakening state. This form also causes a change to Piccolo's facial features, making his cheekbones more pronounced, jawline more chiseled, and his chin broader with a cleft, somewhat similar to the likes of Lord Slug and Pilina. Combined, the changes serve to give him a somewhat more brutish appearance.
The symbol of Namekian pride initially appears as a light orange glow above his gi before being branded onto the back in white color. The eruption of his ki is so intense it resembles a massive fiery geyser.
In the film, it retains the change to Piccolo's belt from red to black, while in artwork of the form by Toriyama it retains the usual red coloration.
===Usage and power===
Orange Piccolo is an evolved form of Piccolo's Power Awakening state and is currently his strongest transformation. The form gives Piccolo power on par with Goku and the others. When Piccolo takes on this form Goten and Trunks are no longer able to detect his ki, though whether this is an innate trait of the transformation or a potential result of their incompetence is left ambiguous.Dragon Ball Super chapter 94, Saiyamen, On the Scene!"
In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Piccolo achieved both his Power Awakening form as well as this higher-level form thanks to a wish from Shenron to unlock his potential, who grants him the latter as a bonus boost in strength. Though Piccolo's Power Awakening form began to lose grounds against Gamma 2, as Orange Piccolo, completely turns the tides of battle, completely unfazed by Gamma 2's barrage of attack without any attempt to defend, and then promptly knocks Gamma 2 out in one blow. Later, against Cell Max, Piccolo is able to catch the monster's foot when he attempts to stomp on Gamma 2's lifeless body, and thanks to a reminder from Krillin, uses his Great Namekian form in tandem with his Orange form to fight Cell giant-to-giant. Despite being the only one able to put up a fight against Cell Max, Piccolo is eventually bested and severely injured by a barrage of ki, causing him to revert to his Ultimate state and triggering Gohan into entering his Beast form out of rage. Later, Piccolo recovers his Orange Great Namekian form to restrain Cell Max with Demon Hand, giving Gohan the opening to pierce Cell Max's weak point with one last Special Beam Cannon.
