Vegeta and Piccolo?

I just wondered what people's opinions on what Vegeta and Piccolo thought of one another? Do you think they have mutual respect for each other? I remember Vegeta was shocked when Piccolo merged with Kami and his power level increased. Vegeta would always call Piccolo "Namek". You could see the respect between the two when Vegeta hit Trunks and Goten then Piccolo said "I think I understand and then one day so will Trunks". Then you've got the scene at the end of Super Android 13 movie.

I think Piccolo respects Vegeta to a certain degree... I'm not entirely sure what Vegeta thinks of Piccolo, though.

Initially when they reunited on Namek you couldn't really say that they were friends or that they even respected each other. Piccolo still resented Vegeta for the role he played in his death, whereas Vegeta thought the revival of this insignificant Namekian fodder that his subordinate killed some time age was a waste of a wish, in fact he may have considered it an affront to his own ambitions of acquiring immortality. The only thing keeping them from each other's throats was Frieza.

This animosity continued into the Android arc. However, you could tell that there a subtle change beginning to take root. For example, when Frieza and Cold were approaching the planet, Vegeta instructed everyone to suppress their power levels except for Piccolo, who had already done so on his own. That garnered a mild expression of confidence from the Saiyan Prince. Throughout the majority of the rest of the arc there didn't seem to be any particularly ill-will between them aside from Vegeta's exasperation when he was brazenly told not to allow Cell to absorb the cyborgs. Vegeta even indulged Piccolo's wishes for vengeance against #20 instead of simply destroying the cyborg himself like he intended to do originally.

They have relatively few interactions in the latter portions of these arcs. Piccolo remains behind after everyone has left following Cell's death to ask Vegeta if he needs any help. His offer is irritably refused, of course, but it does garner an acknowledging smirk from the Namekian. Come the Buu arc, I think they've both come to an understanding with each other. They're not exactly full-blown companions, but it could be argued that they developed a mutual understanding, possibly leading into full-on respect. Being former enemies who despised Goku that eventually came to appreciate the value of life when they were shown compassion themselves, they can relate to each other in a way. They both sacrificed themselves to protect the people most precious to them. More than that - in Vegeta's last moments, he placed his trust and confidence in Piccolo, even going so far as to question what his experience in the afterlife would be like.

So while they didn't have nearly as many interactions like some of the other characters, you could say Piccolo and Vegeta do share a profound, yet subtle bond with each other. Piccolo is certainly the most respectable out of all the non-Saiyans characters to Vegeta.

I think once the blood stopped boiling between them, they could find they were pretty relatable to each other.

After Vegeta killed himself against Majin Buu, Piccolo went back to where it happen to see if Buu was dead. When you could hear Piccolo's thoughts, he said "Goodbye my friend" when on about Vegeta. It's the first time I've ever noticed it before.

Yeah on the English dub, I checked the manga and I can't see Piccolo saying it.

Piccolo acknowledged Veggie's pride as the Prince of SSJ.

They probably respect each other.

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.
