Piccolo Jr.

"Fool! Never believe anything the enemy tells you!"

-Piccolo

=Dragonball=

Just as King Piccolo was dying from a japing hole in the chest, he couched up an egg and spat it into the sky, Goku, however, did not notice this. Piccolo Jr. is first seen as a litttle child roaming the woods after "hatching". He is evil from birth, and is jealous of a family he sees through the window. Even at this young age Piccolo Jr. possesses many of his father's, or past life's (depending on how you look at it) powers.



Years later, Piccolo makes a return at the World Martial Arts Tournament, planning on fighting Goku in it. In the finals, both Goku and Piccolo end up in battle. As they fight, Goku finds himself in the hardest battle he has ever been in up to that point, however, Goku still tries to play by tournament rules, which handicaps him. By the end of the fight Goku does defeat Piccolo, but claims defeat because Goku was the first one out of the ring. Goku does not kill him, and in fact wants him to be his rival, so that Goku could keep getting stronger.

Piccolo appears in Dragonball Z, but appears on Goku's side, to help save the planet from the saiyan invaders, and eventually trains, and takes a liking to Goku's son Gohan. In the android saga, Piccolo becomes a "Super Namek", like a "Super Saiyan", but even so he quickly falls behind as Vegeta replaces him as Goku's rival.
