This is, has always been, and will always be true. Saiyans: battle monkeys that are strong. Namekians: magical, cross-dimensional travelers with the ability to summon dragons and create clothes.
Clothes beam has the potential to be an op special move. Some bad dude is flying at mach-90 and suddenly "CLOTHES BEAM!" and he has a t-shirt in his face. SPLAT! Right into a random wasteland mountain.
Namekian abilities: Strong spiritual energy, long lifespan, enhanced hearing, stretchy arms, giant form, healing abilities, permanent fusion, clothes beam, and creating Dragon Balls. Saiyans abilities: Super strong, big monkey form, and varying hair colors for more strength. Yeah, as much as I love some of the Saiyan characters in this show, I've always thought that Namekians were much more interesting.
wait one thing with that ssj 3 and 4 aren’t just hair color changes and even if you say just cannon then that’s still ssj 3 it’s actually more then a color change and should’ve been explored more before they made god get just pushed into the story without a hint it’s existence but i do like your opinion.😁👍
I know no one wants to hear it, but I always thought how they played with gender was interesting. Yes, they're an all male race, but the Namekians are hardly the most masculine characters in the show. They avert many tropes associated with all male societies.
I found out a few weeks ago that you voiced Goku and Gohan in Dbza, it made the show more interesting because now when they talk and cant stop imagining your face over them
@@deirdre9849 it's a way to god-ki though, and the limits for namekians are virtually non-existent; WHAT IF King Kai kept something from Goku that's even greater than the kaioken - like an advanced version of said technique?
Piccolo Is actually one of the best candidates for UI. Think about it. The guy spends most of his time meditating and he has 2 other minds in his head. I don't think it would be so hard for him to completely clear his mind and make his body do everything. Also, namekians were shown to be able to easily learn techniques just by seeing them, much like Sayians, which is nice too. And there is also one thing, that can potentially make Piccolo OP. Remember how Namekians breed? Yep, very fast and easy. Aging shouldn't be a problem for Piccolo, since he probably got an immortality from his father, or he can just wish for it. After this he can create a squad or even an army of decently powerful fighters, that can protect the earth when the Sayians aren't there, much like Z warriors did in the Moro Saga. And they only need water to survive! He can also fuse with them to become exponentially stronger, but this is more of Ethics problem, then power scaling. Including normal fusion and the Namekian one. Buu being an incredible untapped potential? Get a load of THIS.
I think the two other minds in piccolo's head would be a hinderance in acheiving UI. Wouldn't Nail and Kami also have to clear...themselves? Like they have to get UI too?
@@levonmartyr1443 In the lore of the actual show, there’s little evidence that either Nail or Kami still have any presence in Piccolo’s mind. Likely years of post-fusion meditation has already ironed out any psychological/spiritual differences between the three, especially since Piccolo has always been the “dominant” personality in these fusions.
@@Bonzothefifth I feel like even that could be up for debate. Not the part about spiritual differences, but the bit about Piccolo being dominant. If anything he made it seem like he was straight a different person after the Kami fusion, but they could just call him Piccolo for ease of familiarity.
@@LupineShadowOmega True, but that could be chalked up to post-fusion disorientation. His personality barely changes after that even so, and the only time any real reference to this is made after the Android 17 fight is in the ToP where you briefly see Nail and Kami’s silhouettes during the U6 Namekian brawl. Not to say you’re not right, just saying it’s up for debate.
Honestly, Piccolo needs to get upped to the higher tiers, if only because the show/manga really worked best when Piccolo, Goku, and Vegeta were in the higher brackets. Once Piccolo fell out of competition in that bracket, I think the show really lost something, and didn't quite know what to do with itself as much, as well as with Piccolo himself.
It’s weird that Toriyama made Vegeta the permanent sidekick of Goku after the Cell saga. Simply because Vegeta looks similar and has the same types of transformations. It would have made more sense aesthetically to have Piccolo be the permanent 2nd strongest sidekick because he’s a big green guy with his own unique abilities to distinguish himself from Goku and the other saiyan characters. Even Tien makes for a better foil to Goku than Vegeta does.
Masako said, that japanese slug thing evolved into a dragon after its 3000 years... what if, Namekians that live long enough turn into the wish dragons. So what if Zalama evolved into super Shenron and that would make sense the super dragonballs are still around even tho Zalama is nowhere to be seen. Food for thought
My theory on that is that Zalama would be the end result if *every* Namekian fused. That the race itself is simply the Dragon God split into hundreds of parts across different universes. But that’s not based on anything other than my imagination, so take that as you will.
I would love to see Piccolo once again become an equal to Goku and Vegeta. We haven't seen that since the Cell Saga. Perhaps he can unlock his hidden dragon heritage.
Don't feel bad. Saiyans lost what made them interesting years ago. i.e. their tails and transforming at a full moon Namekians are still a mystery left unsolved and that makes them more interesting
Namekians are definitely a very interesting race that has a lot of untapped potential. I would like to see Tuffles, Race of Hera, Konatsians, Beerus Race, Frezia Race, Cerealians and Metalmen’s lore to be more expanded on in the future. Earthlings also have a lot more untapped potential, lore and history to be explored.
Neither do humans, really. Lol But seriously, though, I’m more impressed with the races who’ve had to gain their power the old fashioned way rather than just pulling new transformations out of nowhere as the plot demands. It really does feel like a massive cheat that Saiyans appear to have the capacity to leapfrog every power gap with just another form of Super Saiyan every time when few other races have shown an ability to transform at all. While he’s boring in pretty much every other aspect, that is one interesting thing about Jiren. He became to strongest of several universes basically training the exact same way Piccolo does. And who knows how old Jiren actually is, so he may have been at this for centuries to get there (which has interesting implications for Piccolo if he maintains his power growth over several centuries). In any case, the point is he got his power by just working and clawing at it, which honestly deserves some respect. Too bad the rest of his character isn’t nearly as inspiring.
Piccolo is my favorite character, but I don’t want to see just another power boost that Goku will inevitably make irrelevant. Namekians are such a unique species, and it would be cool to see Piccolo get stronger in a way that works with that. Imagine if, instead of god ki, absorbing more Namekians, or some other established process, Namekians could learn to harness the ki and powers of the dragons? Even if it didn’t make him hit as hard as a Super Saiyan Blue, wouldn’t it be rad if one of the most strategic fighters in the series could grant wishes, even limited ones, on the fly? It wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t contribute to the fight in the same way as the Saiyans because he would be able to do things they can’t.
Something that I'm curious about are the Namekian Eggs - Can Namekians spawn eggs at any given time or is it only when they're on the verge of death do they reproduce?
Guru had over a hundred sons. But between him and Demon King Piccolo, it's implied that having so many sons can be quite exhausting and even debilitating since the Namekian is using his own life force to do it. Plus, you know, having kids is hard, so I can see why we don't see Namekians just vomiting up kids whenever.
I’ve long thought that namekians are either the precursors to kais, a subset, or a mortal version. They look so similar and have similar powers. Think about it.
Considering how Piccolo started out, I'm starting to hope for more lore/focus on Freeza's people, especially after the manga version of Frost. It'd have to be more than just those four/five guys, right?
3:15 I recall that Saonel and Pilina fused with all of the Universe 6's Namekians to give them a massive boost of power that gave Piccolo and Gohan a hard time before they were defeated. Now that the Tournment of Power is over with all deleted Universes restored, Saonel and Pilina will have to repopulate the Namekian race with new generations of eggs.
Though it’s interesting that these two massive Fused Namekians from U6 were partially felled by a single U7 Namekian of only three (really two if you want to count Kami/Piccolo as a ‘restored’ Namekians rather than a fusion). This is even commented on as they’re defeated in the ToP. We have to remember that Piccolo is a freakishly powerful Namekian compared to the rest of his people. My theory is that this is due to him being a clan hybrid (due to King Piccolo ‘forcing’ his offspring into being both a Warrior clan, but also his own reincarnation, muddying the waters) that brings him closer to the true makeup of Zalama than others, who all seem to have their own set predestined paths. Piccolo doesn’t explore the path of magic and divine power himself in the series, but I think much of that comes from choice and lack of proper training rather than not having the ability. Clothes Beam, for example, seems like a very non-Warrior clan power. His telepathy may also derive from this (though I may just not be remembering if that’s ever established as a general species trait or just with a subset of them). In any case, it could all lead to interesting results if he ever underwent God Ki and/or UI training.
I want to interject here, they specifically said they fused with THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED I'm sure they probably had like 100 of them left for the purpose of repopulating I dont think everyone volunteered they would've thought ahead.
Now this makes me think about what happens if namekians reproduced, made all of their offspring train, fuse them all together and recycled the process a few more times and then have the fused offspring from the last batch fuse with the original namekian. Would you have a super powerful namekian or something? On that note, were the rules for how powers works in namekian fusion explained before? Was it just a+b=c or was it axb=c?
To be honest alot of the other races or species need way more screen time than frickin saiyans. That's partly why I've for the longest time liked and come to appreciate the *"Frieza force"* as a concept.(insofar as one can an organization of terror, brutal repression and genocide) A colorful cast of suprisingly distinct looking folks in the service of the dreaded galactic tyrant Frieza, a multitude of minions/soldiers/cannon fodder, so many neat and even genuinely interesting visual designs (yes even the ones ripped from mythologies or based around gags), huge assortment of distinct looking races and faces, a variety of vibrant but not too offputting colors whole still wearing that general, iconic, distinct armor with a again suprising range of preferences to fit ones tastes but still be recognizable. And more to the point interesting lores to flesh out for various cultures throughout the Dragon Ball universe or...multiverse really. Would also love to see more Earthlings being taught how to use ki, maybe by Gohan as he continues his own training to (hopefully) realize his potential once again!
I'd love to see a planet with like 21 dragon balls but they are the size of marbles and thus the dragon summoned is a super long but super thin worm-like dragon
Never been news to me, the namekians have always been far more interesting than saiyans, I'm still not even remotely interested in the current arc since it seems to just be shifting back into the goku and vegeta show again. I'm still only checking because of granolah, the heeters, and to see if someone will finally fixed the mistake goku made with friezas revival since the entire namek/frieza saga is practically pointless and if the others z fighters will be relevant somehow.
Can we then FINALLY get kaioken Piccolo now? I don't care if it's with god-ki or not, although it would make sense when taking Kami's experience into account.
Kaioken piccolo would be amazing... imagine piccolo being able to go a kaioken state farther then goku do to his regeneration being able to cancel out some of the damage it does to the body
@@randomstickbattles8627 not just a higher multiplier, but a whole new tier above regular kaioken - like what super saiyan 2 is to a regular super saiyan.
I couldn't agree more, one thing that the Moro arc and now this current arc is doing well is expanding the lore of U7 in general and other species other than Saiyans. Dragon Ball Super is definitely becoming more and more distinctive with this one.
Always thought characterwise, the coolest and most badass is Piccolo. In Saiyans though, my least liked is Gokou and Adult Gohan. I like Vegeta and Goten much more (Unless SSJ4 is involved. I really like SSJ4 Gokou.)
MasakoX you reminded me of a very old and very bad mistake of an anime called Dog Warriors based on what you just said. At Suncoast many years ago. I picked Trigun, my brothers friend Cowboy Beebop and my brother Dog Warriors. We got each DVD as they came out. His was the worst anime of blob animation I'd ever seen. Haha! Man what a memory! I never thought I'd ever be reminded of it again and never on this channel of all things!
Wait. I just realized that, since Dragonballs disappear once the Namekian who created them dies... but the Super Dragonballs STILL exist. This means The First Namekian is still alive somehow. Either they are like a God, immortal or live in a plain of exist beyond comprehension
I favor the idea that the Namekians are from one of the erased galaxies, or even from the realm they exist in now occupied by the divine forces. Gives them a motivation to someday bring the other universes back - and perhaps the universes themselves are the greatest dragon balls of all; the great slug eggs that emerged from the primordial chaos that came before all things, perhaps leading to some sort of retelling of the Tiamat story.
I kind of think Namekians might be distantly related to the Kais. They have pointy ears, plant like attributes like being able to survive on water and sunlight, acting as planet guardians who can sense divine chi, long life spans, and now we find out they come from a realm beyond the normal universes
Namekians were always more interesting. Think about it. Where does the dragon balls come from. Can any other race in Dragonball make dragon balls.. but yeah. namekians have always been cooler and have been sooo underutilized and underpowered
If the universe 6 namekians fused to boost their power way high, imagine if King Piccolo bothered to gather strength by endessly forcing his children to get really strong and then fusing with them. We'd probably have a King Piccolo that would look like he belonged more in a Dragon Quest game.
Granolah's gramps dying of a broken heart because of his betrayal would be sadder than most sacrifices in Dragon Ball. It would be the price Granolah pays for his path of vengeance and obsession.
@@herofox12 Pretty sure that is one of the wishes outside of their dragon's power to accomplish, or they'd be capable of making themselves immortal without the dragon balls they make. Or, as a condition, they can't use the balls they've made. Did Kami use the dragon balls he made? No. Did Guru? No. Did Moori when he inherited Porunga? No. Did Dende when he remade Shenron? No.
@@herofox12 because that would be a foolish wish. Miracles happen for a short while, and the dragonballs in that world are to normal people, not the dragon team, chocked up to miracles.
@@herofox12 that too could also be the catalyst of why Kami or Guru never had wished for immortality or never had that desire. Because the earth and namek dragonballs had that quirk where the creator dies so too fades one immortality.
Since Sannel and Prihna already combined with most of the Namekians from Universe 6 and it might be less opening to explore the lore that made everything to be then it might be, that maybe came from one of the Erased Universes instead.
am i the only one who wants to see shenron and porunga interact? i always kinda liked the namekians more than the saiyans who i feel are starting to run the course(outside goku meeting bardock/gine since bardock caused trouble for granolah,more of broly with cheelai or vegeta's family meeting the u6 saiyans on sadala/them visiting earth i feel super:broly gave us a majority of their story.) and find the recent stuff with them interesting with how piccolo is toriyama's favorite considering his moments.(hope we see more of piccolo in this arc along with the other z fighters in this/future arcs.). actually reminds me of the echidnas in sonic getting focused alongside the adventure games elements.
I heavily agree Sayians rely on the strength they are born with and waste there potential. Whenever they meet a powerful enemy they cower. Namekians are warriors and can keep getting better they weren't afraid to stand up to frieza himself plus his men.
Namekians achieved god status long before any relevant monkey did. Frieza was able to blow up planet vegeta in seconds without a shred of effort, yet it took him hundreds of times longer (millions if you go by episode time) to blow up planet namek. Namekians mastered fusion king before any relevant monkey did. Namekians mastered powered up attacks capable of outputting many times more energy that someone has access to long before any relevant monkey did. Namekians can also grow into large forms like the monkeys ozuru form, but they are all able to retain their will and intellect. The only monkey shown to do that is vegeta. Oh and namekians have the ability to make someone 5-20x stronger just by touching their head if they come from the dragon clan or whatever it’s called. Now we just need confirmation that popo is a namekian genie guardian that is created by dragon clan members to protect them, and that they are capable of using ultra instinct. And then we need to have a popo vs whis battle where popo wins.
I agree that Granolah probably won’t get his wish. Going back to the dragon video you did about a year ago (I think?): you talked about Porunga being a more powerful dragon than Shenron and it being referenced by the fact that he had five fingers while Shenron only had four legs as a reference for old Chinese dynasty social structures. Toronbo is not only smaller but also only has two legs that we can see showing that he’s probably significantly weaker than Shenron.
Wait, so a mythical snail that lives in mountains, then plains, then at sea before finally evolving into a dragon could this mean a Piccolo power up that makes him a dragon or dragon like? Maybe even going into the realm of the divine?
Can we also talked about how they're just better than Saiyans like in almost every way. First Saiyans need to eat huge quantities of food but namekians just need water. Second namekians have far longer life spans then Saiyans who live to about 40 on average from the looks of meanwhile namekians live from 200 to 500 years old. And they have a healing factor that's way better than Saiyans.

I was under the impression Kami was about 300 to 400 or so. No idea about Lord Slug, but he looked a lot older than Kami.
I've always loved Piccolo. He's been my favorite for many arcs.
The Saiyans can't DODGE the truth!
Plot Twist: Masako is actually the DBS writer now
I’ve long thought that namekians are either the precursors to kais, a subset, or a mortal version. They look so similar and have similar powers. Think about it.
And they even sort of reproduce the same. Sort of.
Me Now: Sees title
Me back when I was 12: "Well I could have told you that!"
"Nameks are better than Saiyans~
Nail, don't you think that's true?~"
Considering how Piccolo started out, I'm starting to hope for more lore/focus on Freeza's people, especially after the manga version of Frost. It'd have to be more than just those four/five guys, right?
3:15 I recall that Saonel and Pilina fused with all of the Universe 6's Namekians to give them a massive boost of power that gave Piccolo and Gohan a hard time before they were defeated.
Now that the Tournment of Power is over with all deleted Universes restored, Saonel and Pilina will have to repopulate the Namekian race with new generations of eggs.
Though it’s interesting that these two massive Fused Namekians from U6 were partially felled by a single U7 Namekian of only three (really two if you want to count Kami/Piccolo as a ‘restored’ Namekians rather than a fusion). This is even commented on as they’re defeated in the ToP. We have to remember that Piccolo is a freakishly powerful Namekian compared to the rest of his people. My theory is that this is due to him being a clan hybrid (due to King Piccolo ‘forcing’ his offspring into being both a Warrior clan, but also his own reincarnation, muddying the waters) that brings him closer to the true makeup of Zalama than others, who all seem to have their own set predestined paths. Piccolo doesn’t explore the path of magic and divine power himself in the series, but I think much of that comes from choice and lack of proper training rather than not having the ability. Clothes Beam, for example, seems like a very non-Warrior clan power. His telepathy may also derive from this (though I may just not be remembering if that’s ever established as a general species trait or just with a subset of them). In any case, it could all lead to interesting results if he ever underwent God Ki and/or UI training.
I want to interject here, they specifically said they fused with THOSE WHO VOLUNTEERED I'm sure they probably had like 100 of them left for the purpose of repopulating I dont think everyone volunteered they would've thought ahead.
I'm under the impression they fused with other Warrior types. So there should be plenty of Dragon clan members left.
@@Bonzothefifth We know the the Nameless Namek was always super powerful, but the question is why? Did his father Katas do something to him?
Now this makes me think about what happens if namekians reproduced, made all of their offspring train, fuse them all together and recycled the process a few more times and then have the fused offspring from the last batch fuse with the original namekian. Would you have a super powerful namekian or something? On that note, were the rules for how powers works in namekian fusion explained before? Was it just a+b=c or was it axb=c?
To be honest alot of the other races or species need way more screen time than frickin saiyans.
That's partly why I've for the longest time liked and come to appreciate the *"Frieza force"* as a concept.(insofar as one can an organization of terror, brutal repression and genocide)
A colorful cast of suprisingly distinct looking folks in the service of the dreaded galactic tyrant Frieza, a multitude of minions/soldiers/cannon fodder, so many neat and even genuinely interesting visual designs (yes even the ones ripped from mythologies or based around gags), huge assortment of distinct looking races and faces, a variety of vibrant but not too offputting colors whole still wearing that general, iconic, distinct armor with a again suprising range of preferences to fit ones tastes but still be recognizable. And more to the point interesting lores to flesh out for various cultures throughout the Dragon Ball universe or...multiverse really.
Would also love to see more Earthlings being taught how to use ki, maybe by Gohan as he continues his own training to (hopefully) realize his potential once again!
I'd love to see a planet with like 21 dragon balls but they are the size of marbles and thus the dragon summoned is a super long but super thin worm-like dragon
Dragon on string will give anybody Destruction Ki. But only Destruction Ki.
Never been news to me, the namekians have always been far more interesting than saiyans, I'm still not even remotely interested in the current arc since it seems to just be shifting back into the goku and vegeta show again. I'm still only checking because of granolah, the heeters, and to see if someone will finally fixed the mistake goku made with friezas revival since the entire namek/frieza saga is practically pointless and if the others z fighters will be relevant somehow.
*Keman wholeheartedly agrees with your video*
Piccolo is so cool. The Namekians are great.
Literally echoed "About time they were" simultaneously
Can we then FINALLY get kaioken Piccolo now? I don't care if it's with god-ki or not, although it would make sense when taking Kami's experience into account.
Ultra Instinct Piccolo
Kaioken piccolo would be amazing... imagine piccolo being able to go a kaioken state farther then goku do to his regeneration being able to cancel out some of the damage it does to the body
@@randomstickbattles8627 not just a higher multiplier, but a whole new tier above regular kaioken - like what super saiyan 2 is to a regular super saiyan.
@@derianvandalsen that would be cool 🤯🤩🤩🤩
Piccolo is suited for more techniques and hax not to mention ultra instinct as well
True, and the best part for me is that I even started preferring Piccolo and Gohan over Goku and Vegeta now XD
Piccolo has drip that Vegeta will never have
Wow all the references to older videos just shell shocked me cuz I've been subbed for 4 years
*Alternate Title:* Water Is Wet (And We Love That About It)
Namekians been cooler that’s why Piccolo barely need spotlight to be awesome.
Piccolo is the GRILL MASTER
Somebody finally gets me. Everytime I said Namekians were all of my Dragonball friends would call me Nappa because I was bald and big.
Piccolo has always been a certified G
I couldn't agree more, one thing that the Moro arc and now this current arc is doing well is expanding the lore of U7 in general and other species other than Saiyans. Dragon Ball Super is definitely becoming more and more distinctive with this one.
I totally agree with you and I like the thumbnail lol
Dude, Namekians have _always_ been cooler than Saiyans.
Always thought characterwise, the coolest and most badass is Piccolo.
In Saiyans though, my least liked is Gokou and Adult Gohan. I like Vegeta and Goten much more (Unless SSJ4 is involved. I really like SSJ4 Gokou.)
MasakoX you reminded me of a very old and very bad mistake of an anime called Dog Warriors based on what you just said.
At Suncoast many years ago. I picked Trigun, my brothers friend Cowboy Beebop and my brother Dog Warriors. We got each DVD as they came out. His was the worst anime of blob animation I'd ever seen.
Haha! Man what a memory! I never thought I'd ever be reminded of it again and never on this channel of all things!
Wait. I just realized that, since Dragonballs disappear once the Namekian who created them dies... but the Super Dragonballs STILL exist.
This means The First Namekian is still alive somehow.
Either they are like a God, immortal or live in a plain of exist beyond comprehension
I favor the idea that the Namekians are from one of the erased galaxies, or even from the realm they exist in now occupied by the divine forces. Gives them a motivation to someday bring the other universes back - and perhaps the universes themselves are the greatest dragon balls of all; the great slug eggs that emerged from the primordial chaos that came before all things, perhaps leading to some sort of retelling of the Tiamat story.
Namekians were always a more interesting race. Saiyans just got the screentime
I kind of think Namekians might be distantly related to the Kais. They have pointy ears, plant like attributes like being able to survive on water and sunlight, acting as planet guardians who can sense divine chi, long life spans, and now we find out they come from a realm beyond the normal universes
Namekians were always more interesting. Think about it. Where does the dragon balls come from. Can any other race in Dragonball make dragon balls.. but yeah. namekians have always been cooler and have been sooo underutilized and underpowered
I'm glad someone else said it. My guy has always been the coolest.
If the universe 6 namekians fused to boost their power way high, imagine if King Piccolo bothered to gather strength by endessly forcing his children to get really strong and then fusing with them. We'd probably have a King Piccolo that would look like he belonged more in a Dragon Quest game.
Granolah's gramps dying of a broken heart because of his betrayal would be sadder than most sacrifices in Dragon Ball. It would be the price Granolah pays for his path of vengeance and obsession.
Damn, don't do this to me.
Random question: if one wishes for immortality, and the creator of a certain set of dragonballs dies, does that immortality wear off?
No, but the capacity to grant immortality to anyone else is kinda tossed.
Why doesn’t the creator of the dragon balls just wish for immortality?
@@herofox12 Pretty sure that is one of the wishes outside of their dragon's power to accomplish, or they'd be capable of making themselves immortal without the dragon balls they make.
Or, as a condition, they can't use the balls they've made.
Did Kami use the dragon balls he made? No. Did Guru? No. Did Moori when he inherited Porunga? No. Did Dende when he remade Shenron? No.
@@herofox12 because that would be a foolish wish. Miracles happen for a short while, and the dragonballs in that world are to normal people, not the dragon team, chocked up to miracles.
@@herofox12 that too could also be the catalyst of why Kami or Guru never had wished for immortality or never had that desire. Because the earth and namek dragonballs had that quirk where the creator dies so too fades one immortality.
Piccolo was always my favorite character
True
Plant-slug wizard aliens capable of creating most important object > Hair colour changing Apes
Lmao
LMAO facts
In this Video: We learn that Masako has very good taste in pokeymans.
*THE EXAGGERATED SWAGGER OF A NAMEKIAN TEEN!*
Since Sannel and Prihna already combined with most of the Namekians from Universe 6 and it might be less opening to explore the lore that made everything to be then it might be, that maybe came from one of the Erased Universes instead.
I’m glad the nameks are getting some light again
Imagine, after all this time, Namekians are demons after all.
It does seem odd that Demon King Piccolo would be able to bar people from the afterlife. Like, that's a pretty weird power for a mortal to have.
am i the only one who wants to see shenron and porunga interact?
i always kinda liked the namekians more than the saiyans who i feel are starting to run the course(outside goku meeting bardock/gine since bardock caused trouble for granolah,more of broly with cheelai or vegeta's family meeting the u6 saiyans on sadala/them visiting earth i feel super:broly gave us a majority of their story.) and find the recent stuff with them interesting with how piccolo is toriyama's favorite considering his moments.(hope we see more of piccolo in this arc along with the other z fighters in this/future arcs.).
actually reminds me of the echidnas in sonic getting focused alongside the adventure games elements.
I heavily agree Sayians rely on the strength they are born with and waste there potential. Whenever they meet a powerful enemy they cower.
Namekians are warriors and can keep getting better they weren't afraid to stand up to frieza himself plus his men.
I can't tell you how many times I got roasted got l for this opinion in my highschool days.
Those people were wrong.
I can’t tell if you like any of the saiyans anymore.
Uploaded 4 minutes ago, 16 minutes long, already one dislike. How the hifl can you dislike the video when you haven’t even watched half of it?!
Probably some who thinks Goku can beat any one and everything
Saiyan stans.
Racism
@@darrenhardy4817 to be fair he probably could, but still, saiyans are old news, I wanna learn more about these weird slug demons!
It’s said the namekians come from another dimension so I don’t think universe 6 is the original namekians .
Namekians achieved god status long before any relevant monkey did. Frieza was able to blow up planet vegeta in seconds without a shred of effort, yet it took him hundreds of times longer (millions if you go by episode time) to blow up planet namek. Namekians mastered fusion king before any relevant monkey did. Namekians mastered powered up attacks capable of outputting many times more energy that someone has access to long before any relevant monkey did. Namekians can also grow into large forms like the monkeys ozuru form, but they are all able to retain their will and intellect. The only monkey shown to do that is vegeta. Oh and namekians have the ability to make someone 5-20x stronger just by touching their head if they come from the dragon clan or whatever it’s called. Now we just need confirmation that popo is a namekian genie guardian that is created by dragon clan members to protect them, and that they are capable of using ultra instinct. And then we need to have a popo vs whis battle where popo wins.
If you could breed a namekian Sayain that would be invincible
I agree that Granolah probably won’t get his wish. Going back to the dragon video you did about a year ago (I think?): you talked about Porunga being a more powerful dragon than Shenron and it being referenced by the fact that he had five fingers while Shenron only had four legs as a reference for old Chinese dynasty social structures. Toronbo is not only smaller but also only has two legs that we can see showing that he’s probably significantly weaker than Shenron.
I love the Namekians I really want to see Piccolo surpass or be at least on par with Goku and Vegeta in a future arc.
Dragon ball NEEDS this!!! Also Masako you should look into bungie destiny's wish dragons
Wait, so a mythical snail that lives in mountains, then plains, then at sea before finally evolving into a dragon could this mean a Piccolo power up that makes him a dragon or dragon like? Maybe even going into the realm of the divine?
Heyyy masakooooo
How ya doing buddy!!!
I’m happy to hear the green people are getting good time in the spot light again!
You say that like a green slug man with antennae isn't inherently cooler than a dude with spiky hair and a tail.
As a Piccolo fan, namekians have always been cooler than Saiyans
Can we also talked about how they're just better than Saiyans like in almost every way. First Saiyans need to eat huge quantities of food but namekians just need water. Second namekians have far longer life spans then Saiyans who live to about 40 on average from the looks of meanwhile namekians live from 200 to 500 years old. And they have a healing factor that's way better than Saiyans.
