Could Piccolo have eternal youth?

Piccolo was the reincarnation of King Piccolo and he didn't age like a normal namek. He seemed to quickly go to the age he was previously at as King Piccolo. Is it possible that Piccolo has eternal youth since his father did?

Piccolo's appearance has grown progressively sharper over time. At the end of Dragon Ball Z he's shown with lough lines so I think it's safe to say he has aged. Namekians just have a much longer life span than other species like humans and Saiyans.

He won't have eternal youth unless he wishes for it. Like all namekians he will grow old and die.

Why did he age to an adult in 3 years?

Well we don't exactly know how Namekians age. Maybe they become adults very quickly and slowly age into their elderly selves. Although given how that didn't happen with Dende, it could be that Piccolo's rapid aging during the Piccolo Jr saga was due to him being a mutant, like the rest of King Piccolo's hellspawn army.

Piccolo: Just how many people have you sacrificed?!

Cell: Sacrifice? Hmph, rubbish! On the contrary, it is an honor to become a fraction of my power.

I kind of just take it as he had to be born as a baby, but quickly grew up to the age of his father.

Edit: I actually looked into it more and apparently Daizenshuu 2 states that Piccolo does inherit his eternal youth.

I can only assume it was negated when he fused with Kami.

Weren't they just simply using Piccolo's body though and improving the power? If it was negated by Kami, then Nail probably negated it first. I don't see why that would change it though. If Kami would take that away then adding Nail would increase his lifespan.

Because Piccolo appeared older as the series progressed.

King Piccolo didn't have eternal youth. He just wished to be restored to a younger age. So... youth, yes. Eternal, no.

As for why Piccolo Jr grew up so quickly, I like to think that's just a typical Warrior-type Namekian thing. Remember, being a Warrior-type isn't just a job description, they're a special breed of Namekian who are birthed especially to be stronger and more battle-suited so they can be protectors. It'd make a lot of sense if part of that was rapidly sprouting up to adult size within just a few years.

That could be an art thing for all we know though.

I prefer in-universe explanations.

Take a look at Piccolo from his grown-up introduction back during the 23rd tournament to his appearance at the end of the manga.

How much older does Piccolo look in the latter image?

He looks older, but maybe it could be because he bulked up quite a bit.

Frankly it's hard to tell due to how much the artstyle progressed.
