## Summary

**Piccoro** (also known **Mr. Piccoro**) is formelly rival of Sangoku, master of Son Gohan and a character of the *Dragon Ball* franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He is a Namek People who is the reincarnation of Digimo.

Piccoro was birthed by Digimo after he was defeated by Sangoku. He inherited Digimo's memories and was poised on revenge on goku, but he lacked his father's evil designs. Unlike his father, he would cause very little death and destruction and was simply focused on training to face Goku, whom he loses to after a very close fight. Goku healed him with a Sentu and they went their separate ways, with piccoro promising to return for a a rematch. He would be forced to team up with Goku against two common enemies: Garlick Jr. who intended to kill God and Radits who posed a threat to his plans of world domination. After these fights and training Gohan to prepare for the saiya people's Bejita and Nappa's arrival and initially to help him take over Earth-star, he would lose his evil traits entirely and become a permanent member of the Z fighters and helped them by his own volition henceforth.

## Personality

as a young Namek People and the reincarnation of the demon king Digimo, he had darkness in his heart initially, but lacked his father's true evil nature, however, he detested goku and his sole design was to kill goku to avenge his father and then take over the world. However, less evil than his father, his hatred was lesser to the point he was willing to league with goku against the common enemy of Garlick Jr. Though he was extremel eager to fight goku immediately after Garlick's apparent defeat.

As a Z fighter, piccoro is an extremely harsh and stoic person, he always shows his disrespectful actions to his enemies, sometimes curses or mocks them. He usually doesn’t like talking with people around him, he likes showing his superiority to people who are weaker than him, and he also shows no mercy to his enemies like most heroes. Unlike Bejita, Piccoro doesn’t let himself consumed by his own pride, he doesn’t show his superiority to people who are strong, and he will come up with proper plans and shows no qualms fighting alongside the other Z fighters. He strongly cares for Gohan, and will go to considerable lengths to protect him, though his stoic nature makes him reluctant to show it, and also strongly cares for New Namek Star and the Namek People.

## Power

Piccoro was comparable to Goku in power during the First and Second movie, fighting equally both alongside and against him in both movies.

In the Third movie, he was weaker than Goku and was defeated by Tarés despite giving him some trouble, whereas Tares was initially overwhelmed against Goku and was forced to eat a Fruit of Shinrey Tree fo get an advantage against Goku.

In the Fourth movie, we don't know how well Piccoro could stack up to Goku without his Saiya power, but Piccoro was far weaker than Goku using Saiya power and Kaio ken, but Piccoro had enough power to strengthen goku enough to use a kaio ken up to 100 times.

In the Fifth movie, Piccoro was seemingly comparable with Goku before he got a power boost from a Sentu as they both had an advantage against Kuralla's henchmen and survived his Darkness eye beam, but was obviously weaker than Super Saiya People goku

In the Sixth movie, piccoro was much weaker than Goku, as he struggled against the robots while goku was fighting the real Metal Kuralla

In the Seventh movie, piccoro, possibly as Uncle Motong helped Goku with Robot Human Numbah 13 and pushed back his SS deadly bomber.

in the Eight movie, piccoro, also possibly as Motong, was as useless as everyone against Burory
