Is Demon King Piccolo the same as Piccolo?

As mentioned earlier in the thread, Demon King Piccolo is not technically a Piccolo variant. His name tag is "Demon King Piccolo"not "Piccolo". Because of this, he cannot wear piccolo exclusive equips like "Stay Alive, Gohan!" and "Don't Interfere!"or be used to complete missions/challenges that require a Piccolo variant.
The reason why he's not a true Piccolo is a callback to the original anime. Demon King Piccolo is actually DBZ Piccolo's Father. The specifics are fuzzy, but essentially, Demon King Piccolo laid an egg shortly before he died that hatched to become the Piccolo we know in DBZ. He is a son/reincarnation of the original evil Demon King.
