A character who has forgone a major personality shift from the evil son of King Piccolo, to being Gohan's mentor and ultimately sacrificing his life for the young Saiyan to protect him from Nappa's finishing technique the Bomber DX.
During this period we see how he abandons his evil ways seen in the Piccolo Jr. Saga and how throughout he does whatever is necessary to protect his friends and also Earth, with this yearn to protect his loved ones leading him to fuse with Kami, as well as Nail on Namek.
