"Weekly ☆ Character Showcase" Bonus Content! Technique Compendium—Piccolo (Great Demon King Piccolo Arc)

Piccolo's Techniques - Great Demon King Piccolo Arc -

Piccolo wields a great many techniques as well as unique physical abilities, including special moves reminiscent of Great Demon King Piccolo, natural regeneration, Super Gigantification, and more!

Eye Beams

Piccolo shoots laser-like beams of energy from his eyes, in this example using them to nullify Krillin's homing attack at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai.

First Appearance: Tale 172 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Krillin)

Extendable Arms

Also first used against Krillin, Piccolo is naturally able to extend and contract his arms at will to grab hold of his opponents from a distance.

First Appearance: Tale 173 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Krillin)

Zanzo-Ken (Afterimage)

This is a technique where the user employs extremely fast movements to create illusions of themselves and disorient their opponent. Piccolo used a Zanzo-Ken to make it look like he was hit by a point-blank Kamehameha from Krillin, where in fact he had dodged it at high speed and gotten behind Krillin's back!

First Appearance: Tale 173 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Krillin)

Telepathy

Telepathy allows the user to read the minds of their opponents! Piccolo used telepathy to read Shen's mind and discover the truth that he was in fact being inhabited by Kami.

First Appearance: Tale 181 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Shen)

Mafu-ba: Mafu-ba Reversal

This indispensable technique can be used to reverse an opponent's Mafu-ba, a move used to trap an opponent in some kind of container and seal them inside with a talisman or paper seal. While occupying Shen's body, Kami attempts to use the Mafu-ba on Piccolo, but Piccolo successfully reverses it and seals away Kami instead!

First Appearance: Tale 181 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Shen)

Super Giantification

As the name suggests, this technique allows the user to gigantify their body up to the size of a small mountain! The user will also retain their original form's speed, allowing them to make agile and dexterous attacks even while gigantified!

First Appearance: Tale 186 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)

Antenna Beams

Piccolo is able to fire beams of energy from the antennae on his head to electrocute his opponent.

First Appearance: Tale 188 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)

Explosive Wave

Holding his right hand out and firmly gripping it with his left for support, Piccolo unleashes an enormous blast of destructive Ki. Piccolo's version of this attack is even more powerful than when Great Demon King Piccolo used it, and it is even able to home in and follow his targets no matter how far they run!

First Appearance: Tale 189 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)

Regeneration

Piccolo is able to regenerate parts of his body at will! When his left arm took too much damage from one of Goku's attacks, Piccolo simply tore it off and grew a new one!

First Appearance: Tale 189 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)

Chobakuretsumaha (Super Explosive Wave)

Left with no other option in his battle against Goku, Piccolo resorts to using this devastating technique. After crossing his arms and mustering every ounce of Ki he can manage throughout his body, he unleashes it all in a destructive radial blast, blowing away people and completely leveling the surrounding area in its wake.

First Appearance: Tale 190 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)

Mouth Kikoha (Ki Blast)

Piccolo opens his mouth wide and fires a powerful beam of Ki at his opponent. We saw him use this move against Goku after forcing himself back from the brink of death.
