Originally posted by SurturTo be fair I do think that their heel/face turns are done well. Piccolo's transformation over season 1 is great
To be fair that's anime filler, he doesn't do that in the manga.But yeah I think he secretly falls in love with Goku and thus it turns him good.
They made Piccolo good too. He did used to be evil.
Originally posted by SurturShame, that could have worked out nicely. Gohan got a bit short changed
Well no I meant he intended to kill him off at the end of the Cell saga and keep him dead, not that he intended to permanently kill him early on. But he set up the beginning that way because he did intend for Gohan to take over as main character.
