![]() ![]() Piccolo on the other hand is Namekian and should have been okay using this technique so this reason doesn’t really work for him. No offence to humans, but I am a human and I know that we can’t handle the kind of stress given by this technique (even fictional humans couldn’t handle it). Now, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha are all human. In other words, he knows how to handle damage to his body. In addition to that, Goku was basically a fighter for his entire life at that point and had nearly died multiple times including having a hole blasted through his chest by Piccolo (I’m talking about the time during the World Tournament and not the time that actually killed him). He probably knew that Goku was able to physically handle the Kaio-ken simply because Saiyans were good at recovering after taking damage. King Kai was already pretty knowledgeable on the Saiyan race since they resided in his quadrant. Reason one (not a great reason): Goku is a Saiyan and an experienced fighter. With all that being said, why didn’t King Kai teach the technique to the others? I have two reasons for this. Despite trusting Goku with the technique, King Kai put a restriction on it telling Goku that he couldn’t take it past a Kaio-ken x2 (but we all know that Goku was forced to use a Kaio-ken x4 against Vegeta). ![]() Either way, King Kai clearly believed Goku could handle it and taught him the technique. In exchange for a significant boost in power, the user’s body suffers a great deal of exhaustion which is why Goku’s body began failing him during his fight against Vegeta. Considering what we discussed earlier, it’s not surprising that King Kai was reluctant to teach Goku the Kaio-ken. ![]() It was only after Goku had completed his tasks against Bubbles and Gregory that King Kai even considered teaching Goku anything. Even so, King Kai didn’t immediately teach Goku any techniques. As we see later during the Other World Tournament Arc, Goku was unlike any other fighter that King Kai had seen before. So, King Kai merely kept this technique in reserve.until Goku came along. Despite developing the technique, he was never able to master it and so never used it himself (it would be cool to see him use it though). King Kai himself had stated that he couldn’t handle the Kaio-ken. ![]()
