[Source]. No longer a newborn, Piccolo was filled with the vengeance any evil reincarnation would feel toward their previous incarnation's killer, in his case Son Goku, whom he knew would never pass up a chance to compete in the 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi. After three years of non-stop training, he defeated Krillin easily, though was surprised at his resilience and ki flight. Next facing off against Kami, Piccolo was able to reverse his use of the Mafuba, trapping his opponent in a bottle, which he then swallowed, forcing any attempt to free Kami to require killing Piccolo, thus killing Kami and Shenron regardless. In the final match of the tournament against his true rival, Piccolo made the mistake of using his giant form, thus allowing Goku to reach far enough down Piccolo's throat to remove Kami's bottle. After a neck-and-neck fight, Goku would only just eliminate an equally exhausted Piccolo with a flying headbutt knocking him out of the ring. To his surprise, but not respect, Goku offered Piccolo a senzu, restoring both of them to their full power, and accidentally ensuring the monumental role he would play in 5 years.
