"Dragon Ball Super" Series Official Announcement & Discussion Thread

It would be cheap and lame if Piccolo fused with the two namekians from U6 and get a huge power boost from it and before you talk "Oh but Piccolo is the king of cheap power ups since Z", sure but it doesn't mean it wasn't criticized back then and that people would like to see the same again.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if Super decided to do so, maybe not in this tournament but in the future.

I can't see any reason why they would fuse and it would be good to actually have another fighting Namekian that is not Piccolo for a rivalry. It seems like Toriyama wants to finally establish Universe 6 Namek and because the designs are obviously Slug and Piccolo I doubt he would get rid of them.

We all want a Namekian tranaformation such as Namekian God which would be a bigger surprise than any Goku transformation.

I don't want any Namekian God. Nameks can't transform sorry to disappoint you.

Nameks can't transform sorry to disappoint you.

Care to provide any official source stating they can't?

Didn't Piccolo grow turn into a giant in Dragon Ball, to crush Goku? That's technically a transformation.

[Grimlock]

No, I don't care. Here it is. The manga and Dragon Ball Online.




And even if you don't want to count giant form as a transformation, I never said that they can transform like a Saiyan.

Maybe not "transform" like a Saiyan can, but they can permanently fuse, which makes their power increase exponentially as a result.

They also have this http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Red-eyed_Namekian_form even thou it hasn't been used outside of the games

[Grimlock]

He asked for any official source, so Dragon Ball Online is in order here, had the transformation been used beyond the games or not. I added it to my original response.

[BlueBasilisk]

I'd really like Piccolo to grow strong without some new transformation or absorbing someone.

[TheOne]

I love it when people make bold statements like that. Implying that they know what the writers intentions are. I'm guessing you knew how the Trunks Saga was going to turn out and that Frieza would be revived huh? Guys like you have it all figured out.

I am pretty sure Gohan has that title
But yeah assimilation is pretty boring,if he gets a power up he better get the red eyed form if anything..

[precita]

Why on earth would Piccolo fuse with a Namek from a different universe?

I guess the last sentence of yours is addressed to Shinda Forever, right?

Anyways, about your first sentences... Yeah. It's kinda odd that people like to affirm something, putting a period afterwards. That implies they know
what they're talking about. That's why I'm always asking for evidences. If they claim something, I assume they have ways to prove it. Yet, it's rare when the person replies with an evidence.

Thank you. I missed that one.

[fadeddreams5]

Those two namekians will fuse with each other. It's the only reason they come in pairs. Super loves making throwbacks to things that happened in Z.

Piccolo fusing with them would be a good excuse not to destroy Uni 6 or 7 since he'd technically represent both, but idk if they'd pull something like this.

[precita]

If the two Nameks fuse doesn't one of them essentially get killed off? Since both their pictures are on Zeno's ipad thing, if they fuse into one being, doesn't U6 automatically lose one fighter by default?

Didn't Piccolo have red eyes in the manga? I seem to recall some color images from Toriyama that were like that. Maybe that's where they got the idea from? Damn, I feel like re-watching that final trailer from DBO, it was spectacular.

And yes, I hope that Piccolo won't fuse with anyone anymore (seriously, two is enough!) but boy, does this show love its callbacks.

As far as transformation go, why not? Nothing is set in stone in this franchise, so it is well within the realm of possibilities. Granted, chances are minuscule, but they're there. My only worry would be that the transformation would be too outlandish, and that would be a shame, because Piccolo's character design is one of the best things about him. As much as I liked the idea behind DBO, the pale faced, split head namekians didn't really do it for me. Made them look a like a saibamen. And I saw that design type return with Hit.

Anyway, time will tell what they plan to do with the U6 namekians (Please, no fusion!)

Good point. Though I wouldn't day killed off, more like disappear? But there's a way around that. Fusion dance. That way it's just a technique that lasts 30 minutes.

It's a bit worse than death since the one Namekian all but ceases to exist. When Nail and Kami merged with Piccolo, they became part of Piccolo. Their souls are gone and the only thing left are their memories in Piccolo.
