He tried to blow up the entire crowd in his fight with Goku and also fought dirty with no sense of honour by blasting Goku in the back when he had his guard down. Then he tortured Goku by stamping on his wound while laughing maniacally. The only thing in DB I can think of that even suggests he had some good in him is that one scene where he saves that boy and his mother from being crushed by a rock falling from the tower. That seemed very strange considering he later tried to blow up the entire crowd which probably had kids in it. Maybe the scene was filler but it seems strange if Toei would decide to add that and then Piccolo later turns good. The only thing crazier than Piccolo changing is Vegeta changing imo.

He would have either been killed off or rendered irrelevant had he not turned.

Also, Piccolo is his favourite character. He probably planned his favourite.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	It definitely makes sense that Piccolo would change his ways, and I really do like the character as a good guy. However I've come to like that personality after fan***ing the way he got to that state of mind, because at the beginning of DBZ, we just had to make the assumption that he has changed his evil ways.
