I generally prefer the anime colours, but with Piccolo it's reversed. I wish he had the yellow arm/red waistband throughout the anime too. Pink and blue aren't bad, just not as good.

I think both look great, though I think I prefer the pink!
Anyone who knows about color theory can say if either of them have some good theory going here?
I believe that detail talks about Namekujins in general in the anime, not just Piccolo.

Piccolo Daimao debuts in the anime with his old design having those parts of his arm colored yellow, and Kami works the exact same way until his very last scene in the anime.
Those details change to pink when Daimao gets young.
In flashbacks with Younger Kami in the anime, those parts are colored in pink.
With the other Namekujins, The Grand Elder and older ones all have those parts of their arms colored in yellow.
The younger ones are pink.
So that pretty much tells us that the pink in the anime is because old Toei viewed the yellow color in those parts of the arms as a Older Namekujins feat.

I prefer the red waistband too, this + Goku wearing a orange gi closer to yellow (like in the manga), instead of red, at least in Z Movies 6-9 you get to see that (+ Movie 10 also has the "fake Piccolo" with red waistband, and strangely, reverts to the typical anime blue waistbaist when it's revealed to be Kuririn)

I remember hearing the first part of the word Gedestar (the mechanical thing on Namek that Cooler uses in a movie) is based on a Japanese word but i'm not sure what word it is referencing

I don't know if this is the right place to say this since the previous thread about Vic Mignogna has been locked but it was announced a few days ago that he has been diagnosed with cancer.

I in no way support his behavior, but I do wish him and any other cancer patient the best of luck in this type of battle. I hope he can get access to any available treatment that he needs.

Dude's a piece of shit & I'm glad he got blacklisted from the industry, but yeah. 1 thing I've seen him say is that it was because he got blacklisted, but he more than likely would've gotten it if he didn't get blacklisted. That's just not how cancer works. This dude is 63 & we're 7 years removed from when he got cancelled. Blaming it on his firings is infinitely stupid on his part.

But, yeah, hope he makes a recovery. As someone whose father had cancer that ultimately took his life, I don't wish that upon anyone else. Even someone as bad as Vic.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.
