#if they lived long enough and weren’t always ordered by KP like Junior had

[chaoflaka]

Another underrated scene I want to point out.

But in case no one remembers, this is when Tien is attempting to reseal King Piccolo in a container during the confrontation. The moment the containement is revealed, one of his offsprings/servants, Drum, almost immediately disappears from sight.

And soon after, right before KP starts to get sucked in, Drum shields him in the Nick of time and gets captured instead. Have KP not destroyed the container, Drum would have fully been sealed within.

Now I kind of doubt KP did this cause he cared about one of his children (given he one time blamed Cymbal and Tambourine for being worthless over being killed by a human being) and more so did it to not lose a soldier.

But I was incredibly impressed. Even just few minutes after having been born, Drum was willing to risk his life to protect his king. His father. Which is stangely wholesome for an evil being supporting a heartless tyrant.

It makes me wonder if Piccolo Jr. subconsciously recalled back to that memory the moment he rushed over to protect Gohan from Napa’s blast.
