Basically yes but if I was given a choice to select a big power up and sacrifice for gohan or no power up and no sacrifice I will gladly choose the latter.
Why power levels are important?
The genre and roots of dragon ball

Call it pessimism, but given previous treatment, I wouldn't be surprised if those two namekians have more to do with Gohan or Goku than with him. Why? Because the only episode Piccolo got leading up to the tournament was all about Gohan; his supposed increase in power happened off screen; you haven't seen him consider or evaluate his own power at all. Heck, even in the opening, the only shots he gets is him standing behind Gohan.

Either way, even if he were to get a power-up, we might not want it to happen here. It's just going to be overshadowed by whatever Goku, Gohan, Freeza, and Jiren will show.
Your first paragraphs arguments is destroyed becuase of what happened to Krillin. He got all those things you said and was out after 3 episodes.

What exactly are Gohan and Frieza going to show? The benefit of the power up is to future proof Piccolo from not being involved.

There is no way a Piccolo lookalike or Namekians in general has nothing to do with Piccolo. If Piccolo does not face them, then who does his fight?
It isn't just those episodes before the TOP, but the entirety of DBS up until now. He has been practically ignored. He wasn't even given those cool few moments against Shisami like in the movie. I'm just having a hard time believing the writers have any great plans for him :(

As for Gohan, Freeza, etc, it's not so much about what they're going to show, since I doubt they'll get some new power or something (unless Freeza fuses with Frost) but about how long they'll last. How big and impressive their fight is going to be, the power they will display, who their opponent is going to be. They've been promoted a little too much to not get a significant role in the apex of this arc.
So not only do you guys want piccolo to have a big powerup and really matter which he dosen't right now, but you also want it to look really cool and be unique in the process..
That really so much to ask? :lol: Honestly, if he there is a transformation, but it comes at the price of making him look like a snapping turtle or something, then I'd rather he be ignored for the rest of the series.

Just remember we did not know anything about these namkians until episode 102. They could easily be the surprise this arc.

I hope so! I really do!

I will open a bottle of champagne and drink it in Toriyama's name if Piccolo get's a significant power up.

I'm not really expecting Piccolo to gain anything of significance from the Universe 6 Namekians. Maybe they'll have some banter and share some jokes. But a power up or secret technique that Piccolo didn't know about? I wouldn't bank on it at all.

What is the point of them then if they provide no information at all.

At a minimum they have to be rivals with the potential to get stronger.

I just can't wait for them to surprise all of you doubters.

I can tell you really like Namekians. :P

I'd like to be proven wrong about Piccolo not getting much out of the Universe 6 Namekians, for the record.

The reason I care about the Namekians is because of Piccolo and would it could mean for his future. Every Piccolo fan is just hoping these Namekians bring something good becuase it could be the last chance for Piccolo to get a future power up.

Well assimilation is boring,in fact he should have shit out Nail and let him live his life.So if he gets a power up it better be a transformation like the red eyed form.
If its another assimilation then better no power up at all.
Character wise anything would do outside of him sacrificing himself for Gohan's mistakes for the 9000000000th time.

I would want him him to step out of way and let Gohan take the full force of an attack for once,sure it would be out of character but considering his current status as a character it would be something interesting for once.

Wishfull thinking, a namekian transformation, god level. Even if Piccolo wouldn't get it yet, them showing him it's possible.

Getting ot this arc or the next makes no difference to me but this arc will be more exciting.

I really do think the red eyed form has a good chance of been revealed.as Toriyama obviously knows about it and maybe with some influence from Toyotaro.

I just want to know why Toei are being so secretive when it comes to the Namekians.

The only thing these Namekians are going to give Piccolo is the good old one-two to his face..Maybe a forced and short convo but that's it.

I'd like Piccolo to become relevant and stronger but I just can't see how could he receive a power-up or any vital informaton from someone who is supposed to be his enemy during what pretty much is a survival race.

The Namekians could show not tell. However, characters will always speak to each other even if they are enemies as proven throughout the histpry of Dragon ball. There is obviously got be a rivalry between 2 universe as well.

If they beat Piccolo easy then tbey must be strong so if they are that strong then Piccolo can be as well.

Hopefully he will. He needs a power-up, or better yet, a transformation-type power-up, right? This is the perfect time to do so. Let's see if this time Dragon Ball Super/Toriyama have balls to leave the comfort zone for a change.

They can future proof Piccolo by having a red eyed form like online and heroes and then it can be blue eyed then yellow eyed. If the Saiyans can have many nonsense power ups out of nowhere then why can't the Namkeians as well.

They've been taking concepts from the expanded spectrum this arc. The filler yadrat design, a tsufur, an equivalent of the LSS. So why not red eye whatever.

Should Piccolo get something? Yeah definitely. But I'm not going to pretend that having U6 Namekians means Piccolo is definitely going to get something.

Universe Namekians make it more probable than ever before in Super.
