In Chapter 10 of the Viz translation, Piccolo says the following before fighting Frost:
What exactly does he mean by this? Is he implying that since Piccolo Daimaō was a "demon" that he is a demon as well? Based on this guide, I know there was a lot of initial confusion over whether people referred to Piccolo as a demon simply because they didn't know what a Namekian was. Back during the Piccolo Daimaō Arc, Namekians weren't invented yet so it makes sense that Piccolo would just claim to be a demon.I am not Namekian. I am the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo.
But in DB Super, we are well past the point of Piccolo's Namekian heritage being explained. Is this quote mainly just Piccolo being proud of his past as a demon and rejecting his Namekian heritage? (Similar to how Goku might say that he's from Earth, even though he's technically from Planet Vegeta) Or is he implying that he really is inherently different from a normal Namekian somehow? It just strikes me as a very strange line.
... or is this simply just a mistranslation on Viz's part? I sought out a fan translation and the quote was nearly identical, so I'm assuming he says the same thing in the Japanese version. But if someone with a copy of the original Japanese chapter could chime in and prove otherwise, that would be pretty cool.
