I was also gonna say: Piccolo doesn't eat (or don't need to)! I bet Toriyama hadn't officially thought of Namekian race and how they only need water yet before creating DBZ.

fun fact: the journey for the sacred water is "filler". In the Manga, Korin has it and just gives it to him.

In the manga Korin gives Goku the Ultra Divine Water right away. For once filler has a little purpose. King Piccolo eating slop is also filler. Namekians don’t eat.

I agree. There has to be a challenge to it. Not just "get water, gain power" he had to earn it in the anime.

Can't wait for episode 119. Arguably one of in my opinion the best episodes in dragonball

The Hype

I know that this is a filler episode, because none of these events even remotely happen in the manga. Korin just has the ultra divine water to give to Goku, and after Goku powers up he goes straight to fight Piccolo. The anime is actually done a lot better in my opinion. It doesn't really feel like Goku earned anything in the manga, since Korin is like "here's a power up", but here Korin doesn't have the water, and only knows of it, so Goku goes on a journey to actually earn that power up. Also Snow only makes a brief cameo here in the manga, so everything with her is just filler. It's done pretty well though.

I don’t think namekians were thought of then so piccolo was just a demon and needed to eat. But you could also say that piccolo knew nothing about about the namek so being on earth around creatures that needed to eat to survive, he probably felt he needed to as well even though he didn’t. If you recall he never knew about where he was from until vegeta and Nappa came to earth.
