Dragon Ball movies are a special category of anime movie. There are a lot of them, for one, so every fan of the series can find something they love in at least one of them. They also tend to have some of the best villains in the series proper, with heavy hitters like Broly and Cooler having a special place in the fandom’s heart. Most of the movies usually contain some elements of the previous sagas that would have just wrapped up or contain callbacks to big moments. The Lord Slug movie even has a glimpse of the future with a reference to the impending Super Saiyan transformation despite referencing King Piccolo aggressively.The latest Dragon Ball movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is unique compared to the more recent movies in the franchise. It doesn’t focus exclusively on battle or big fights, instead becoming a bit more of a character piece with a lot more of the humor that the series had in its earliest iterations. This movie was a departure from the precedent set by the ones that came before it, especially considering who was positioned as the main character. In many ways, Piccolo is the character that truly saves this movie from being just like the others and makes it a love letter to the franchise as a whole.Even with a basic summary, Piccolo is definitely indispensable and this evolution in his character is incredibly important to the story. In many ways, Piccolo (in some form or another) was the first real threat Goku had ever faced and became instrumental in protecting Goku’s first son from his first real threats. Gohan helped Piccolo to become, ironically, more human and Piccolo helped Gohan to learn to stand up for himself. His influence on Gohan is easily seen in Gohan’s preferred gi, more often wearing a purple one like Piccolo’s, and some of his signature attacks. Due to the nature of the series, however, this impactful relationship often remained in the background as Gohan never managed to get as much attention as his father and Goku remained, firmly, the main character of the show.
