Piccolo

appearance

Piccolo's most notable feature is his skin tone, which is green. He has very large ears and antennae on top of his head. On his arms and legs he has some kind of pink circles (yellow in the manga and in the Dragon Ball Super: Superhero feature film), whose outline is red. As a child he wore a purple tunic with long orchid-colored sleeves and his father's kanji for 'Demon' on the tunic. As he grew up, he wears a purple dogi, a blue belt (red in the manga and some films) and brown shoes. He also wears a white cape and a snow-colored turban with a purple top that carry extra weight on top, emulating the Kami shirt and accessories that Goku used. He usually removes the cape and turban when he is going to fight seriously and in episode 125 of Dragon Ball Z he has been seen wearing civilian clothes: a purple long-sleeved shirt and a yellow one over it with gray pants and a blue, white and red cap. Piccolo is 2.26 m tall and weighs 116 kg.[2]

personality

Piccolo can still be rude and confrontational towards people he deems foolish, inferior, or unnecessarily violent, and is very direct and honest when giving his opinions on a situation or individual, though these can be considered very dismissive, with the word "vermin" often being used to denote this. After training with and befriending and mentoring Gohan, his personality quickly changes as the hybrid Saiyan takes the time to talk to him and have normal conversations. During the battle with Nappa, Piccolo goes so far as to sacrifice his life to save Gohan, stating how their friendship had forever changed him. Piccolo has stated that Gohan was the first person to not view him as a monster and was proud to call him his friend. somewhat arrogant personality, to the point of saying that he is only using the Z Warriors so that he can one day conquer the world (which Krillin carelessly knew was pure gossip). After fusing with Kami he becomes kinder, showing suffering every time they kill too many people, as was the case with Cell and later with Fat Boo, even feeling guilty when he tells Super-Boo that he still has humans left to kill. Piccolo proves to be analytical and strategic in battle. He learns quickly from his mistakes and uses all the resources at his disposal well, which compensates for his lack of transformations like the Saiyans or Freeza's race have. After his fusion with Kami, he becomes much wiser by acquiring all his knowledge to the point that he learns Goku's weak points. However, he still maintains his lone wolf attitude similar to Android 17, and only opens up to very few characters such as Gohan, Dende and even when he helps raise baby Pan. He has been shown to be very observant, when he observes the weak points of Trunks and Goten's fusion steps.
