Dragon Ball Z
The series continues the adventures of Son Goku who, along with his companions, defend the Earth and other fictional planets against various supervillains . While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Son Goku through childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z parallels his adult life with the maturation of his first child, Son Gohan . The series also gives focus to the evolution of his rivals, Piccolo and Vegeta , from evil to good. The separation between the series is also significant as the later series takes on a more dramatic and serious tone, with a number of villains either threatening or committing acts of mass murder or outright genocide .
Akira Toriyama 's self-parody manga series Neko Majin satires many concepts introduced in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z .
Piccolo
Piccolo is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball manga , authored by Akira Toriyama . Piccolo was first introduced as the reincarnation of the evil Piccolo Daimao , making him a demon and archrival of the primary protagonist named Son Goku . However, it is later revealed that he is from the race of alien beings called Namekians. Even though Piccolo is consistently referred to as male, being of Namekian heritage makes him genderless. He will be portrayed by actor James Marsters in the upcoming 2009 film, Dragonball .
Piccolo's name is originally derived from the musical instrument, as all of the great Demon King Piccolo Daimao's henchmen (who are his other children) had the names of various instruments. Around the start of the Freeza Saga , it's revealed that his name means "another world" in Namekian .
After his narrow defeat against Goku, Piccolo is soon forced to form an at first uneasy alliance with Goku and his friends against newer, more dangerous threats. Out of necessity he also takes it upon himself to train Goku's child Son Gohan , forming a powerful bond which ultimately redeems him when he sacrifices himself to save the child's life. After his resurrection he fully joins Goku and the others in their struggles against ever more powerful villains, although he frequently makes up the excuse of doing so only because he wants to take over the world someday, in contrast to his genuine reform.
