Dragon Ball Super is just weeks out from its big comeback, and as you can imagine, fans are ready to see what its new movie has in store. The film promises to bring Gohan back to center stage, and he will be joined in battle by Piccolo as always. The Namekian is certainly ready for the spotlight, and thanks to a recent interview, fans have learned which scene from the anime Piccolo’s actor considers his favorite even after all these years.
The update came courtesy of the official Dragon Ball website. It was there the team spoke with Furukawa about Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and Piccolo’s journeys to date. When asked which of Piccolo’s scenes is their favorite to date, Furukawa didn’t have to think hard before picking out a scene from Dragon Ball Z.

“Probably the scene where, after building a master-student relationship with Gohan, Piccolo sacrifices himself to save his life. And then when he falls to the ground on the verge of death, with tears in his eyes he opens up to Gohan about the time they spent together. That’s my favorite. It’s such a moving, memorable scene,” Furukawa shared.

As you can imagine, Furukawa has been through a lot with Piccolo, so it is nice knowing what moments from the anime get him going. The actor has overseen Piccolo’s character since the Dragon Ball anime got started. Despite starting his arc as a villain, Piccolo has gone on to become one of Goku’s best friends and a dedicated mentor to Gohan. In fact, his bond with Gohan is perhaps his strongest, so you can see why Furukawa is partial to the scene he chose. And soon, that relationship will be explored even further when the fighters hit theaters this summer.
