Tien and Piccolo's partnership

Correct me if I'm wrong but they did become buddies off-camera?
They barely had time to get acquainted in the Saiyan Saga when Tien was up training in the tower and Piccolo was training Gohan. then Piccolo was hardly at King Kai's for long so I'm assuming they got to know each other after Tien's revival and maybe they visited each other seeing as they both lived and trained in the mountains, maybe Tien had some sparring sessions with Piccolo seeing as Chiaotziu is pretty trash.

They had a good bromance going on in the Android saga, noticed they were always together, it's really emphasised how "good" Piccolo has become when Tien first sees Vegeta and still hasn't forgiven him for his Saiyan Saga exploits, Piccolo really should have hated Vegeta too since he killed those villages full of innocents, you could say he didn't feel at home on Namek but then again Nail was still inside him.

So did anyone else enjoy the little partnership Tien and Piccolo had going on during the early Android Saga?
I just wish the relationships between each member of the team could have been expanded on, I'd have loved to see characters who clearly knew each other and had a past, actually interact, like Tien and Piccolo, 18 and Vegeta, King Kai and someone besides Goku.

Unrelated but I loved Vegeta in the early parts of the Android Saga, the most powerful character for once and seeing Tien and Piccolo in disbelief and the androids fear him was awesome, although it didn't last long unfortunately.

Feel free to point out any inaccuracies seeing as I base all my DBZ off the cartoon and not the book.

They probably bro'd out on the way to Kaio's planet. Worked out their differences... came to realize how similar they were...

They probably got a bit closer on Kaios planet, I'd imagine. They're quite similar in a lot of ways, they probably respect each other, I'd imagine.

I really haha'd at this one. This one was really good. So true.

Piccolo didn't care about any of them even in the Saiyan saga, except for Gohan. He didn't want to be bothered by any of them on Kaio's planet either, and regarded them as less than unfavorable when wanting to be wished back. I doubt he made up with them on the way.

It's probably something Toriyama just overlooked or didn't care to get into.

Dragonball = Goku and humans (later Piccolo)
DBZ: Saiyans, Piccolo and sometimes Krillin
GT: Goku.

That's how it goes.

Who's that directed to? I don't see how it's relevant to the topic.

It's directed to Kamikaze Pyro. It's relevant because Tenshinhan and Piccolo doesn't have a partnership aside from being part of the same group of warriors.

As far as relationships go, I'd say for Piccolo:

Family and best friends: Gohan (nephew), Dende, Popo
Friends: Goku, Kami, Nail, Trunks, Goten
Acquaintances/ respected: Tien, Krillen, Roshi, Future Trunks
No relationship: Bulma, Yamcha, Yajirobe, Chaoitzu, Chi Chi
Unfavorable: Vegeta, although I think Piccolo respects him as a warrior they certainly don't like each other.

Whenever the Z fighters get together, I think Piccolo and Tien sort of bond over not caring for social events. Thus they kind of stay together in the background and probably talk about training.

I kinda doubt it. When Piccolo pretended to be evil again in the Android Saga Tien actually believed him. If I had to guess everyones relationship status to Piccolo I'd say it's like this:

Family and best friends: Gohan (nephew), Dende, Popo, Nail, Kami
Friends: Goku, Krillen, Trunks, Goten
Acquaintances/ respected: Tien, Roshi, Yamcha, Future Trunks
No relationship: Bulma, Yajirobe, Chaoitzu, Chi Chi
Unfavorable/still respected: Vegeta, Kami

I wouldn't even go as far as saying Trunks and Goten are friends, not from his side anyway :p

Not sure I agree with Krillin being a "friend" either. Goku I could see. Piccolo just doesn't seem like a guy who has friends, aside from Gohan.

Goku is the link that binds everybody. I'd say he's friends with every Z fighter, even Vegeta. Piccolo spent three years training with Goku and Gohan.

@Dstreet: I see what you mean about Piccolo and Kami. They certainly have a love/hate relationship, but I'd consider them to be friends, or even family. Kami is almost like a father figure to Piccolo, even though they're kind of the same person.

I also love the tension between Vegeta and Piccolo from the Frieza saga to the android saga. They had similar power levels (although Vegeta was usually stronger) and it seemed like they were always ready to throw down at a moments notice.
