* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One of Goku's most well-known and prolonged examples. He is enraged over the murder of Krillin and immediately sets out for vengeance, even though he hasn't eaten yet and is still recovering from the tournament. Later learning that Roshi and others have suffered as well just makes him more focused and serious. Instead of simple fights for fun, Goku ends up rather brutally taking down King Piccolo and his children (save Cymbal, who was killed by Yajirobe).

In a fit of rage, Goku flies off with Kinto-Un, going on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the one who killed him. The rest of the Dragon Team, however, spots a paper on Kuri with a particular symbol on it... that of the Demon Lord Piccolo. Many years ago, Piccolo terrorized the world before [[SealedEvilInACan becoming trapped in a Denshi Jar by the Muten Roshi's master, Mutito.]] But Piccolo has been freed by [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom the Pilaf Gang]], and sets off two tasks of his EvilPlan: eliminate the martial artists who could challenge him, and gather the Dragon Balls to [[FountainOfYouth restore him to the prime of his youth.]] Thus Roshi and Tenshinhan travel all over the world to try and get the Dragon Balls before he does. The remaining heroes relocate Kame House to avoid detection.
During his quest for revenge, Goku encounters a monster named Tambourine, the one who ultimately killed Kurilin. Goku's fight with him, however, does not end well, and he ends up on the losing end. However, after the battle, he encounters a fat vagrant samurai named Yajirobe, who seems to hit it on with Goku.
In order to gain a greater foothold on his plan, Piccolo births a new henchman by laying an egg from his mouth. This henchman, Cymbal, is tasked with collecting the Dragon Balls. However, he runs afoul of Yajirobe, who also happens to have a Dragon Ball, and ends up chopped and roasted. Realizing this, Piccolo sends a psychic symbol to Tambourine to deal with the interloper ''just before he added Yamcha to his list of victims''. But Yajirobe's cooking leads to Goku recovering fully, and he defeats Tambourine with ease.
With the loss of his minions, [[OrcusOnHisThrone Piccolo]] [[DefiedTrope stops playing around]] [[LetsGetDangerous and deals with Goku personally.]] It is a fight [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Goku is utterly mauled in,]] to the point of having his heart stop. Piccolo uses the opportunity to get the Dragon Ball for himself, giving him two to play with.
Once it becomes clear the heroes are on the hunt for the Dragon Balls, Piccolo [[BatmanGambit comes up with a plan to let the heroes gather the balls, then steal them from their corpses.]] As insurance, he swallows his own two to make them impossible to gather. In a confrontation with the Muten Roshi, Roshi attempts to use the Mafuba on him, but he fails to hit the target, and dies as a result. Stealing the Dragon Balls, Piccolo summons Shen Long and attempts to make his wish, with Chaozu trying to interrupt.
-->Piccolo: "DRAGON! I command you! Restore..."
-->Chaozu: "Destroy Picco..." [[KilledMidSentence *ZAP!*]]
Indeed, Piccolo kills Chaozu, and makes his wish unimpeded. He is restored to his youth at last, becoming even more powerful than before. But he's not done yet. After securing his victory, [[GutPunch Piccolo kills Shen Long,]] turning the Dragon Balls to stone and rendering them unusable. And for good measure, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he dumps the Pilaf Gang out of their ship]], preparing his assault on the castle of the King of the World.
However, what he didn't count on was Goku's heart restarting, and knowing he can't beat Piccolo as he is now, he has Yajirobe take him to Karin Tower, [[IWasToldThereWouldBeCake offering the promise of as much food as he wants.]] Once he arrived, Yajirobe gets quite used to the Senzu, and Karin reveals the existence of something that can power him up, the Super Godly Water, a drink that will either increase his power dramatically... or kill him. ''Acquiring the water isn't easy, however. Goku needs to enter a hidden cave in an icecap, then conquer the illusions of the cave through his will to never give up. Even after all that, however,'' one gulp of the water triggers spasms in Goku.
...but miraculously, he survives! Goku is stronger than ever, and ready to take on the menace!
And he couldn'tve gotten his power at a better time. ''On the anniversary of the King's rise to power,'' Piccolo [[TakeOverTheWorld takes over the king's castle, and the world along with it.]] With his power, he declares the world free of rules, crime legal, and on May 9th every day, he will destroy one continent of the world. Put simply, [[TheBadGuyWins Piccolo has won.]]
Not standing for this, Tenshinhan attempts to stop him, but Piccolo simply births a new minion, Drum to put him in his place. ''Even Ten's attempt to use the Mafuba is a total failure, though he survives.'' [[DarkestHour The villain has won, and all attempts to stop him have failed. Death awaits Tenshinhan...]]
Until at last, [[HesBack Goku returns]], ready to face the threat of Piccolo.
Goku easily defeats Drum, then focuses his attention on the Demon Lord himself. Despite Goku's new powers, Piccolo is still always one step ahead. He even uses a powerful energy blast to level the area, and cripples Goku to boot. But even despite his injuries, Goku still has one good arm, and puts everything he has into one last attack.
It succeeds! Goku's body drives a hole through Piccolo, killing him at last!
