About Dragon Clan Namekian

Post by super michael » Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:23 pm

I been wondering can every Dragon Clan Namekian learn every abilities or are there exclusive abilities? Take Saiyans and their transformation, any Saiyan can unlock it with the right skills and power level. The only one that is exclusive is Ikari and Super Saiyan Rose.

I wonder why no other Namekian has learned the ability to unlock someone potential like Elder Guru.
I wonder why Kami and King Piccolo are the only Namekian to not learn healing. I assume Piccolo before the split didn't know how to heal.
Why couldn't King Piccolo make his own Dragon Balls.

Well, judging that King Piccolo started off as this spooky demon lord retconned into the evil twin of a slug extraterrestrial, just like Goku started off as a talented martial arts prodigy with a funny tail retconned into part of a maniacal monkey extraterrestrial race...things don't really have to make sense.

But to try and answer - Elder Guru being the oldest Namekian alive probably used a technique which takes centuries to learn or probably is forbidden to any other Namekian pleb. It seems like a rather dangerous technique since it can be used against him/them if someone from their tribe rebels against them. Let's not forget this was Guru's ace in the sleeve when Frieza's team attacked Namek.

Kami and King Piccolo were the odd ones out of the bunch since they spent most of their time on Earth. Chances are he simply forgot how to perform healing (still it doesn't make sense he remembered how to create the dragon balls) or he morphed into a Warrior+Dragon Clan hybrid where he got abilities from both while some he couldn't access/learn.

King Piccolo couldn't make Dragon Balls because his other half had this power. It seems like after the defuse King Piccolo got more Warrior type feats while Kami more of the Dragon Clan. K.P. could create evil mutated sons though - why don't the other Namekians have this ability?

And finally, Namekians could probably learn new stuff if they absorb together Dragon Clan with Warrior Clan. Since they're such a volatile species I bet they can find out how to learn/obtain anything they want or need. In fact I find them to be one of the most interesting and potent species in the Dragon Ball universe.

He never stopped being a demon lord. Having alien origins didn’t retroactively remove his status as a Mazoku

What makes him a Mazoku though? He didn't come from the pits of hell. He isn't the same race as Dabura or his likes. He's merely stemming from a Namekian who had the misfortune to learn humanly bad habits. You can pretty much call him a Namekian reject with identity crisis.

No, but he is literally the embodiment of the evil in Kami.

You're implying that demons can't be from other worlds.

Also, Kami and Piccolo's namekian origin is a reveal not a retcon.

….

It was a whole ass plot point that Krillin and Roshi and the others killed by Piccolo Daimao and his clan can’t go to otherworld and are trapped in limbo because they were killed by mazoku

Piccolo wasnt just a normal bad nemakian, he was the evil from the heart of god. Since kami wasnt a normal one ether, he was one that had taken the throne of god on the world he lived on.
