King Piccolo

Origin

Kami, before becoming guardian of the Earth, cast off his evil Ki that eventually manifested into Piccolo Daimao. Piccolo declared himself Demon King, but was imprisoned by Mutaito in an electrical rice cooker. Mutaito died after using the suicidal Evil Containment Wave, however, and his legacy passed onto Master Roshi.

Creation

Created by series creator Akira Toriyama, King Piccolo came out as one of the first pure evil character. Previously all the antagonist were somewhat gullible, such as Pilaf of some of generals in Red Ribbon Army. Just to demonstrate how evil he was, King Piccolo's story arc was started by murdering Krillin and stealing a Dragon ball.

Character Evolution

When he made his appearance for the first time, he had appearance of being senile, but he was still strong enough to defeat Goku and his allies including master Roshi. Later by using the power of Eternal Dragon, he was able to regain his youth.

Major Story Arc

Many years ago King Piccolo was seal by Roshi's master Mutaito. However King Piccolo was again released by Pilaf and instantly returns to his diabolical ways of murder, genocide, and greed, attaining the Dragonballs to restore his youth and even going so far as to destroy the Eternal Dragon so that he cannot be stopped by a wish. Piccolo declares himself Demon King for the second time and conquers the globe, letting crime run rampant. He was again stopped, but this time permanently (or so it seemed) by Goku after a long and gruelling battle. Piccolo, however, vomited his offspring into the distance and exploded shortly afterwards. The egg Piccolo Daimao had sent away contained his reincarnation, Piccolo Jr., or Ma-junior, who would eventually leave his evil ways and become a champion of Earth.
