Why wasn't Orlen revived?

[Sailor Haumea]

This is an error in anime continuity that bothers me.

Shenron was told to revive everyone on Namek killed by Frieza and his men.

No further clarification was given.

Considering Orlen WAS killed by Frieza, despite being a soldier in his army, and he was killed on Namek, why was he not revived like the others? How did Shenron know not to revive him? Was he revived offscreen, and just wandered off and is still on Earth?

My headcanon that I just now made up says that he was in Freeza's army in Resurrection 'F', after staying on Earth for years like Ginyu.

He was revived, with his scouter intact, and when he realized that there were several people on the planet with power levels so big that they made his scouter explode, he decided to integrate into Earth society and not draw attention to himself. He now works as a science fiction writer and is a rival of sorts to Tights, though he has yet to achieve his dream of being married, on account of looking like a lemon that grew appendages and fangs.

I'mma do it in DB Revival.

I promise you now, Orlen will be a recurring minor character who's a writer. Vegeta bumps into him one day.

His reaction:

"The fuck?"

Haha, the first thing I'm actually gonna make a post in and it's gonna be to kinda promote my story. But this bothered me so much that when writing my fanfic I actually made him appear on Earth when all the others got transported back from Namek. I'm in the majin buu arc in my story and he's basically just one of the good guys and trains with Piccolo. Link is in my sig if ya wanna see it. But, it really did bother me to the point where I had to add him into my story.

Oh hey, it's you!

I'm actually a big fan of Limits Are Meant To Be Broken.

Your fic was what made me wonder why Orlen wasn't revived in canon...or was he revived, but wandered off?

That also leads me to question whether or not they ever got around to reviving Tsuno's village in canon...

I think TFS kinda addressed that one already. With the whole Vegeta killing them thing.

Because Orlen was filler, I actually wondered more about the dude who got indirectly blasted by a namekians and then kicked by zarbon. My head cannon is that he wasn't quite dead till zarbon kicked him, even if he was “dying” at the time.

He then becomes fodder for Frog ginyu, better explaining why Ginyu was able to live till RoF, rather than a frog living 30 years or whatever, and reaching far away battlefields in time. (In my weird internal ficverses)

My in-progress fanfic has them tell Shenron to revive everyone killed by the Galactic Frieza Army and its former members on Namek. This unfortunately means Zarbon, Dodoria, Appule, the Ginyu Force, and all the soldiers killed by Vegeta are revived. Because Goku kicked Frieza's ass, the soldiers are too terrified to try to fight. So, they scatter.

Iike the idea of those dudes being revived but how would they know Goku beat Freeza, and regardless Goku wasn't there upon porting to earth.

What's to stop Piccolo, Vegeta and even Kuririn massacring them out of spite.

I suppose the Z-Fighters tell them what happened.

Orlen and Namole would definitely switch sides, considering Frieza killed them.

Gohan comes to the defense of the others.

[Ozotto]

Orlen became a founder of a demon training camp high in a mountainous region of Earth.

He trains various demons in martial arts.
He ends up having a grand daughter who is shown as the main antagonist in the DBGT Leagacy of Goku
