Why didn't Kami stop Piccolo Daimao?

[Jeff Styles]

I can understand when Piccolo took over the earth before being seal away since Kami might not have been strong enough to beat Piccolo. Not the second time as Kami flick away Goku who ate a Senzu after defeating Piccolo.

With that in mind, why didn't Kami take responsibility for his evil side destroying the earth? Why did he wait until the 23rd Budokai when it was too late to beat him?

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Because he have to kill Piccolo to stop him which we know that it's a suicide mission and also there was no candidate as a guardian of Earth if he dies.

It's wasn't until he learned about Mafuba where he knew he can stop Piccolo without killing him but just seal him.

He could've still retrieved the Denshi Jar himself to avoid any human opening it. Also, he was ready to kill Piccolo himself after Goku beat him at the 23rd TB, so him being concerned with his own life or a successor doesn't seem like much of a valid reason.

Overall, Kami is just a contradictive dick.

 

[Let's Go Fearless!]

Maybe Kami thought that it was the best for him not to hide that jar by himself. Since he didn't foresee that another human can find where that jar is located except Roshi himself.

Also I think that he was concerned for his life during that tournament hence he planned to seal Piccolo with a Mafuba but failed. Perhaps the only reason he wanted to kill Piccolo was that he finally came to conclusion that it was for the best. Sounds reasonable to me.

That would still be heavily inconsistent. Not long before, he'd told Goku he couldn't just kill Piccolo and told Ten a God can't take his own life, yet at the end of the battle he was trying to do both at once despite nothing having appeared really worth changing his mind over.

 

[Papasmurf]

Him telling Ten that he couldn't kill himself probably just meant he couldn't take his life directly, but that doesn't prevent him from doing so indirectly by killing Pickles.

Although it's Super , there's also Billius choosing to seal Elder Kaioshit rather than Hakai him because that'd result in his own death, showing that indirect suicide is indeed possible.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

He still chose to try and kill Piccolo rather than attempting to seal him again as was his original plan for the very reason that he didn't want to kill himself, so his choice was contradictive nonetheless when he could've easily materialised another bottle and tried the Mafuba again.

 

[Papasmurf]

Maybe witnessing Pickles' full power made him realize how much of a grave error he made in expelling Daimao, increasing his guilt? The arc is a mess by the finals anyway with bullshit like Galu trying to kill Piccolo with the Super KHH and then contradictively saying he knows Kami's connected to the Dragon Balls a few minutes later, so that's about the best you can do with the established information.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

That could work I guess, though considering Goku was still at least Piccolo's equal and could definitely overpower Not so Big yet Green if Kami and the rest jumped in alongside him. That, and despite being immensely more powerful than Daimao, it was pretty clear he was nowhere near as evil. I couldn't imagine Old P. Diddy bothering to participate in a tournament to face Goku rather than attacking the island and demanding Galu fight him or give the civilians a good chance to flee when revealing his identity, not to mention Goku even saying as much of a comparison between the two Piccolos to Gohan despite having not seen Piccolo since the 23rd TB prior to the arrival of Chaditz.

 

[Papasmurf]

Majunior announced his intentions to recreate his father's empire all the same, and even said he can create a wonderful world of darkness after he assumed he won, so I think at this point Kami saw little difference in the two, even if the reincarnation wasn't as bad as his big dipper diddy/

Like other have said, Kami was just fearing dying and the Earth being left to possibly no other God to watch over. It's a bit weird as Kami sacrificed himself and his position to fuse with Piccolo at the prospect of saving the world later on, but that's just how it is.

It's true that he seemed convicted enough to kill Piccolo later on when he was agonizing at the floor. but it's possible that by that time he was more convicted about sacrificing himself than before. Or, since he said Goku has the qualities needed to be a God, he then knew he could die and be succeeded by Goku in this matter.
