“In fact, [Akira] Toriyama-sensei’s original idea was for only Piccolo to be the lead, but I paid Gohan, so the two ended up as co-stars,” he said.
As you can imagine, this update surprised some fans. Piccolo and Gohan are definitely close, so it’s hard to imagine Namekian playing a leading role without being under his care. However, that’s what Toriyama originally wanted when he started crafting the plot for this movie. Iyoku was able to convince Toriyama to include Gohan at the end, so Piccolo didn’t have to bear the brunt of this movie alone.
