Yes, this is where the predominantly comedy/adventure "Dragonball" series begins its tranformation into its more action oriented sequel, "Dragonball Z". Also, this is where you will discover in full detail the origin of Piccolo, one of DBZ's most popular characters. The saga begins with the murder of Goku's best friend, Krillin at the end of the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai (AKA World Martial Arts Tournament). In a rage, Goku rushes off to avenge his fallen friend, but is unaware that Krillin's killer happens to be the most powerful underling of the evil Piccolo Daimao, who has been set free after years of imprisonment to turn the Earth into a living Hell once again! This DVD set contains only the first ten episodes of the saga, but it just keeps getting better beyond that. If you're a true DB/Z fan, I highly reccomend you buy this and the rest of the saga.

I recently purchased the King Piccolo Saga Part 1 and I have to say it is the best Dragon Ball saga I've seen. I base that statment on only seeing 2 other sagas the Red Ribbon Army Saga, and the Tournament Saga. The King Piccolo starts with Goku finding his friend Krillin dead, Goku searches for the killer. And thats all im gonna tell you, you'll have to buy it to find the rest out.

As the title suggest, this saga introduces one of the most popular characters in series continuity, and one of the best villains of all time, the Demon King Piccolo. The very first episode takes a very dark twist for the series, and things only get worse. A cult of Demons is killing off the martial arts society, one member at a time, including Goku's friends. This is Piccolo at his best, back when even Goku couldn't rival his power. Watch Piccolo's rise to infamy, and the first serious threat to the planet in the series.

The beginning of the Piccolo era. After losing to Tein in the World Martial Arts Tournament Goku finds krillin dead, and so it begins. This first volume in the two volume set ends with the monumental death of Master Roshi. A very good buy for the price and a must have for a fan. If you never seen the show before, this is a good place to start. All you fans out there better buy now the price will probably go up as avalibility is going down, like the whole Piccolo Jr. Saga.

wow its weird seeing piccolo a bad guy and he is almost more ruthless than vegeta defenitly worth having for the collection not to mention this item wont last forever

The 22nd Annual World Martial Arts Tournament has ended with Tien Shinhan taking the prize. As our heros start to celebrate, their happiness turns to dispair, Krillin has died! Who could have done this? As Goku chases down Krillin's killer, a single piece of paper reveals to Master Roshi who the culprit is.
Long ago, when Master Roshi was still young, an evil being known as Piccolo attacked the entire planet. Along with his army of demons, Piccolo was close to conquering the entire planet when a brave group of martial artists tried to stop him. Master Roshi was among the group, and his master, Mutaito used an ultimate move known as the Evil Containment Wave to seal Piccolo in an electronic jar. But the attack took too much energy and Mutaito died from exhaustion. Roshi threw the jar into the sea and expected to never hear of Piccolo again, but he was released!
What could an invincible monster possibly want with Goku's Dragon Ball? Eternal Youth! Can our heros stop Piccolo, or will he conquer the entire planet just as he intended to do many years ago?
This saga in Dragon Ball is the major turning point where the series and it's sequals turn from light humor and battles to epic struggles and massive fights. This DVD set is graphic and full of violence, so younger audiences should be careful. The storyline will not turn back to humor until the Majin Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z. This saga contains great fights and a very interesting storyline. It is my favorite in Dragon Ball, though I like the Majin Buu Saga of Dragon Ball Z just a bit better.(They have similar stories if you think about it.) I recommend this set to any fan of Dragon Ball.

I would call the king piccolo saga the best of them. the main reason i would say this is because of the story it sets. It is a saga with lots of action yes, but the plot is amazing. the story is essentially a story of revenge. goku must avenge the death of his best friend krillin. you really feel for goku's goal. we also get to meet one of the best characters of the series, Yajirobe and this set in particuilar ends with the death of the great master roshi. By the end you really feel the threat of King piccolo and that goku is the final hope for the world. the series has gone into high gear!

...dragonball !!I speak some japanese and after watching this all I can say is WOW!!This is the bloodiest,goreiest,most violent part of Dragonball !!It starts of after the Tein Shin Han saga.Kuririn is shown dead.Well it goes that Emporer Pilaf had a hard time defeating Gokuu in the past so he had to revive Piccolo Diamou.Piccolo Diamou was trapped in a jar like thing for hundreds of years, now he's on the loose!!As Goku rips a hole through the belly of the beast the monster vomets and egg. He becomes two people, Piccolo (evil) and Kami (good) and Kuririn and everyone else who died was wished back,and the (king) piccolo saga part 2 is where Gokus a teen!!
