Piccolo's stamina?
I get guys like Tien and Roshi getting tired fighting Frieza's soldiers, but Piccolo? He's such a joke of a character it's not even funny. He gets defeated by a fighter who was stated to be Zarbon-tier and he gets tired fighting a bunch of weaklings that Roshi had little to no trouble with. Hope he remains irrelevant and continues getting owned

Tacoma trained in four months with freeza to the point he went from Zarbon tier to stomping a guy's who should at be cell jr level.

Does this thread actually have any point?

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

It's hilarious. Beyond that, not really.RandomGuy96 wrote:Does this thread actually have any point?
Re: Piccolo's stamina?
This arc seems to be the one where you make it or don't. If he gets nothing in this arc. He is probably done forever tbh in terms of fighting, but ever since post roast he has been more about commentary and training others, so it's not like he is doing that bad. Post kami Piccolo and pre Kami Piccolo have very different roles in the story. He lost his edge when fused with kami.

Well I adhere to the whole Shisami trained concept, but I was just pointing out how sad it is from an out-of-universe perspective that he got owned by some guy who was compared to Zarbon and Dodoria without any real indication that he did in fact get stronger. The average fan who watches the movie as a casual throwback probably isn't going to care enough to wonder how or why Piccolo lost to the some Zarbon-tier nobody.pacz360 wrote:Went it was stated the guy he was fighting was zarbon tiersupercat wrote:I get guys like Tien and Roshi getting tired fighting Frieza's soldiers, but Piccolo?

But yes, if I had to guess Piccolo's stance on the power scale, I'd say he's anywhere between a Cell Jr and Kaioshin; but could very well have surpassed the latter.

why would you care if you hate the character? You should be happy he is getting phased out in a disgraceful manner.supercat wrote:Well I adhere to the whole Shisami trained concept, but I was just pointing out how sad it is from an out-of-universe perspective that he got owned by some guy who was compared to Zarbon and Dodoria without any real indication that he did in fact get stronger.

A reminder that this is the In-Universe section of the forum. However, any sort of discussion this thread could foster in this section will ultimately boil down to strength debates. (And it already is, kinda.) There are plenty of other threads better suited for this conversation.
