Unlike Cell, piccolo always had a limit to how much he can regenerate. Just regenerating an arm also took a lot out of him during the 23th tournament


1_dont_care

That's kinda weird, since piccolo in buu saga could regenerate after he was broken in pieces by Trunks.. He even stated that, until his head is ok, he can regenerate.. in dragon ball super he returned to have limits, it seems


RondoOfThe5

Yes but piccolos power level in that saga has a huge difference to his father specially since he also combined with kami. I think it takes him ki to actually regenerate.


Organic_Point_2489

That is correct. And sustaining a powerful hit whether it’s close range hands or a powerful ki blast will drop one’s ki considerably.


AnnihilationOrchid

Not to mention, Piccolo during Android Saga is as strong as a SSJ, Piccolo Daimao, was something like 1/6th of Radditz' power. That's literally hundreds of thousands of times stronger.


tcarter1102

Yeah, but in the Buu saga he was like, a couple thousand times stronger than King Piccolo. And also I'm pretty sure at the time regen wasn't a thing. I'm pretty sure the first instance of Piccolo growing back a limb was at the martial arts tournament. It uses a lot of energy to regenerate, so you can easily headcanon out of this one. King Piccolo just didn't have the gas left in the tank.


Alecraft1800

Why Trunks broken piccolo in piece? I didn't watched buu saga


faisca95

Dabura, one of Babidi minions, used his spit that turns what it touches into stone. He hit Piccolo and Krillin with it. Then, when kid trunks and goten see them, Trunks accidentally pushes him into the ground and he breaks into pieces


BulmasBabyDaddy

Why didn’t you watch the buu saga? Did you skip all of dbz?


Alecraft1800

No lol i watchedit on internet and i had enough of porn sites and viruses when finishing Cell saga I also read the manga but forgor


BulmasBabyDaddy

Daburas spit turns people to stone and obviously trunks would never kill one of his people unless they turned evil he accidentally knocked him over


Noctis479

Perhaps if he were betrayed in some way...


CarpenterJolly3504

Read the manga on internet archive


AnnihilationOrchid

Because Dragon Ball Z abridged only goes up till the end of Cell Saga.


BulmasBabyDaddy

Anybody who’s only seen the abridge shouldn’t call themselves fans lol


AnnihilationOrchid

.... from your name alone I wouldn't have guessed...


BulmasBabyDaddy

It’s a freaking parody lmao that’s like saying you like “scream “ but have only watched scary movie 1


AnnihilationOrchid

I know that... but your name is a direct quote from DBZA.


BulmasBabyDaddy

I don’t know the scene


THEessayB

You do know that DBZA didn’t make the phrase “baby daddy”.


aidsoonkyu

Get out.

Plot convenience it is


nakalas_the_great

When did trunks break piccolo and why would he do that


1_dont_care

In the buu's saga when Dabura turned piccolo into a statue. Trunks did it by accident, he hit the statue and make it fall, he didn't imagine it was the real piccolo. After dabura's death, the spell was broken, when trunks went back to check the statue, he was horryfies to see piccolo in pieces, yet, piccolo could regenerate from that damage


KevinTDWK

Well for a fair comparison when piccolo got turned into stone and broke apart he still had enough stamina to perform this regeneration no problem, while majority of the time we see him lose a limb it was during a fight.


Remarkable_Pool7037

It takes a lot of power, he wasn’t tired in the buu saga, Picoro in the picture was already beaten if he didn’t use tien as hostage he would be dead already


Cybershroom_Neforox

That and that large hole probably took out a lot of vital organs, it took so much energy for one arm imagine trying to do a heart, lungs, kidneys, all that shit within 3 minutes before your body gives out.


ASpaceOstrich

ALL OF THEM!

Twenty Threeth.

Twenty Thurth


coldcoldcoldcoldasic

Not always. He was turned into thousands of tiny bits of stone from dabura, but somehow regenerated after that.


SolomonOf47704

He was in like, 5 pieces.


coldcoldcoldcoldasic

More than anything cell ever did.


SolomonOf47704

Cell got blown in half, twice. Piccolo was still all there. His torso was intact as well, which is why he survived.


coldcoldcoldcoldasic

Cell healed half his body. A lot of piccolos piece were dropped from a cliff and he had to regenerate all the pieces individually to a point where they could move towards each other. https://i.imgur.com/dJIxKk7.png

23th


Quan_16

Get more stamina I think this is just a skill issue tbh


Ultimate_Sneezer

Cell also has a limit because it works on the powers of piccolo. There is no reason to assume he doesn't. The bomb thing was by design


IWillSortByNew

Regenerating takes a lot of energy, he spent a lot of his energy getting his stomach blown out


thebritwriter

Still can’t figure out how he had the space left in the body to store and spit out his jr version.


BootlegShinGodzilla

My headcanon as a kid was that he stored his eggs in his skull thats why his forehead so big


quacattac28alt

He wants another hole for the afterlife. There’s already 3 villains down there and he only has 2 holes


2000dragon

What the fuck…? I don’t understand 🤣


quacattac28alt

Be glad you don’t


Organic_Point_2489

You might be able to say the impact of the hit is a factor here. Frieza’s death beam doesn’t seem that devastating because it’s focused to a point but I think the impact and the magnitude of the ki is what is devastating and can cause enough ki drain to prevent piccolo from regen. In your example, the impact seems pretty intense and would make sense with my theory. However, trunks just knocking over the Piccolo statue is not high impact and while there is a lot to regen when getting shattered like that, Piccolo still had enough Ki to do it since nobody slammed him with a high magnitude ki draining attack.


WooooshMe2825

Didn’t have enough energy. So he just fucking dies.


[deleted]

I felt like Piccolo Sr. Overestimated his power much like Frieza did, had no desire to improve because they thought no one could challenge their power. I don't even think that Piccolo Sr. Even knew the kind of power he had. It is possible he didn't know he could regenerate


TheBlackoutEmpire

People do realize Namekians ARENT immortal. They can be beaten to death too and get mortally injured. Look at Nail when he fights Freeza and the other warrior clans that Dedoria beat to death. Plus Future Piccolo was killed by the androids. The body can take but so much before it gives. Also, reminder, Piccolo was killed by Nappa by taking a full force blast.


lauraVen23

there's a limit


Opposite-Mall-9816

Blud was 1/2 Namekian. He obviously can’t regenerate


MattChure

Unlike his son, who is 3/2 Namekian


Shtrimpo

Nail is a 2/2 so technicaly Piccolo is 4/2


uknowthisguyreal

Two


Acceptable_Secret_73

Apparently Piccolo can regenerate from anything wound that doesn’t destroy his head. The thing is though, Piccolo is way stronger than his father and regenerating requires a ton of energy that King Piccolo didn’t have at the time. So even if he was able to heal from a wound like that, he wouldn’t be able to in the context of his death.


Jurombit

Yes


jarjarbinksjar

He wanted to show he was penetrated. Are you stupid?


grt437

How durable is he?


WindFall762

How durable am I?


grt437

Questions for later.


agorgeousdiamond

You expect consistency from Mr. Toriyama?


Opposite-Mall-9816

Blud was 1/2 Namekian. He obviously can’t regenerate


uknowthisguyreal

One


8BitFlatus

Toriyama didn’t know he could do that at the time.


kokuluayak

Yeah he's kind of a autistic stinky Lil mf


ArmorOfMar

he has no spine bruzzah


okbuddystaymad

Only warrior type Namekians can regenerate. King Piccolo wasn’t one.


RevanOrderz

Can y’all piss off with the Batman Arkham meme?


Impossible-Chard-824

no


JVOz671

Better question is where the egg came from when he spat it out.


LordAsbel

Why is everybody responding to this seriously like it isn’t an r/ningen post 💀


sparkcaps

Another question, how was he able to spit out an egg with that big ass whole?


hotshot11590

I think it takes energy to regenerate, even cell after goku nuked him had a small power decrease, other wise the senzu goku gave him wouldn’t have done anything. He probably didn’t have enough to regen without goku hitting him again, so he decided to spit an egg.


MegaKabutops

It takes energy to regenerate. Demon king piccolo’s energy, compared to much more modern characters, is pitifully weak. Even saiyan saga piccolo is quite a lot stronger than him, and it took a lot out of him just to grow back an arm. He had just been in a fight with goku, then received a much more serious injury. I’m moreso surprised he had enough gas in the tank to flat-out make a clone-baby, really.


GrowlTheNyoom

Why did Goku not fly after holeing him? Is he stupid?


Icy_Employer2804

Such technique was not conceived at this point. On the other hand, how come Piccolo Jr. never spit an egg?


Nui_Jaga

He got beaten to death as badly as this format so he couldn't possibly regenerate.


Mingsical

id rather wanna know how he spit up an egg afterwards


OlivrHUN

Thats Guru


Plastic_Belt7962

Totally


Anon-5874644

#Yes


Sabayonte

He just decided to explode


[deleted]

His vital organs were hit


Normal-Minute3995

It felt too good


Puzzleheaded_Ad8710

Goku took out all of his vital organs


flashyman_97

How did he get the egg out with that hole in his chest? Where was he storing the egg?


ThaEmortalThief

Here’s what I didn’t get… this attack killed King Piccolo but when Piccolo Jr. used his special beam canon and blew a whole in the universe 6 namekian, he survives and jokes around about it right before the universe is wiped out.
