Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Reveals Piccolo's Final Form

By Nick Valdez

Piccolo has been around Dragon Ball fans for decades, and when it comes to favorites, the Namekian is hard to beat. For years, the character has been a constant in Gohan's life, so there was no doubt fans would watch Piccolo and his protege reunite in theaters for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. And after watching his allies whip our new forms left and right, well – it seems Piccolo unlocked his actual ultimate form by the end of this new movie!

Warning! Major spoilers for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero follow below!

The promotional materials for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero have been teasing that Piccolo would be unlocking a new form and unleashing a whole new kind of power, and that does indeed turn out to be the case now that the film has been released and fans from Japan have detailed the events of it. But there's an even bigger surprise still waiting in the actual movie itself, so fair warning ahead from here on out that there will be major spoilers for the new movie below! Last chance! 

According to a report from @DBSChronicles on Twitter, Piccolo not only obtains that "unleashed" and "perfect" version of himself that raises his power, but there's also a new ability and form that he unlocks. It turns out that Piccolo is able to tap into something in his Namekian body that unlocks a new power that transforms him into a much larger, and orange version of his body. 

According to the official Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero novel, this orange power seems to stem from deep within his body that invokes the "pride" of the Namekian race, "A circle of light runs across Piccolo's back," the novel reads, "and in it grew Ajisa, a tree painted with light, the tree of his home planet Namek. Eventually, the three of light grew leaves of light & became a round crest. It is a symbol of pride of the Namekian race. Piccolo's fall stopped and his body was enveloped in orange light." 

So it seems that Piccolo is finally getting some due after sitting on the sidelines for so long! Thankfully it won't be too much longer before the rest of the world gets to see it as Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero hits North America on August 19th!
