Is Piccolo Daimao large?

After watching episodes of him old, he always seems HUGE compared to Pilaf and Piano. Is he large or are they just TINY?

No, he is actually fairly tall.

He is not only large, but for a little while there, he was also in charge.

If I remember it correctly, his size fluctuates. Compare him to Tenshinhan (his hand in different panels compared to Tenshinhan's head) and also him to Goku in several other instances.
He is big, though. My point is that he is differently big sometimes.

Yeah, he's definitely inconsistent. When he fights that big dude at the king's castle, he seems to be taller than the guy in some panels and a bit shorter in others. His height in relation to the paintings on the wall also seems to fluctuate a little bit.

Officially his height is 250 cm, according to the Bouken Special. But as has been noted, it tends to flucuate in the actual series.

I didn't knew there was actually official data for his height (is there for Kami?). Hmm, 250cm makes some sense. However I had the impression that the difference beetween him and Ma Junior was greater.;

Well, Mai is not tiny, she is a normal human, and he still looks tall near her

How much is that in inches?

He would be just under 8'2.5" tall.

Keep in mind that consistently drawing characters in proportion to one another is NOT easy.

Combine that with Toriyama's tendency to be lazy, and there we go.

However, that image of him holding Tenshinhan (one of the tallest 'normal-sized' characters in the series) definitely shows him to be quite tall.

Or you could always go for the in-universe excuse: well, Piccolo jr. could change in size, so why not his ol' man?

While we have some scenes in the anime of Piccolo releasing a bulk form, in the manga we only see him becoming a giant once. So it's unlikely he constantly chances sizes.

The manga don't exactly give a properly idea of characters height either. we see the anime staff commiting some mistakes. For example, initially Freeza in his second form looked like a giant, but when we analyze it again, he wasn't really that big (at maximum slight over 200cm I would say).

Some of the situations where we see examples of him being drawn far larger than he really was(at least to me) to have been done intentionally to exaggerate his appearance to be more ominous and foreboding. There's no arguing that he's extremely tall all the time, but I attribute at least some of the images of him being even larger than it seems he should be to going for dramatic effect.

You could definitely tell that he was a great deal taller than all of his subordinates. I think he was his tallest when he was sitting in his throne chair. He's definitely larger than Ma Junior, though.

How tall is his son? around 7 feet right?

Post by **Herms** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:23 pm

226 cm, according to the SEG.

Jackal puFF · Post by **Jackal puFF** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:07 am

Thanks I think that's like 7.5 feet. Still pretty tall.

He is much taller in the anime compared to the original manga:

Just look at his hand or even his head compared to Ten!

Seems pretty coherent with the manga.

He seems a little taller in the anime. Tenshinhan seems a little shorter in the anime picture due to the largeness of Piccolo. But then, maybe I am seeing things...

He's pretty damn large.
