Nameless Namekian

Post by Mad Swami » Wed Mar 11, 2020 12:19 am

When Piccolo refused with Kami, is it ever mentioned he regained some of his memories or anything, like I know he says the famous "I am neither Piccolo nor Kami, but a namekian so old he had forgotten his own name" but do you guys think he learned anything or would have?

Nothing was ever mentioned about his past.
I always thought Kattatsu's/Katta's son was too young to remember anything from his days on Namek (although I don't remember the details of Piccolo Jr's first moments so maybe their memory works better than humans). I would say he had no idea about his days on Namek because on Earth he waited for his parents by his ship for like 30 years I think. Like he had really no clue about what just happened or what to expect.

Anyway he was pretty young when he escaped Namek, even if he remembered and understood what was going on, Kamiccolo probably could've only regained the memories of pretty dark skies, thunderstorms, lava or whatever was hitting Namek. Maybe the village he was born in too, getting some sort of deja vu of when Piccolo was on Namek.

I'm pretty sure the Nameless Namekian grew to be an adult at some point like when he removed Kami and Piccolo, would he have any then or no? Not that I disagree with you just curious

I'm not sure much happened between his arrival on Earth and his division, the Piccolo Jr part must've recovered memories for sure but for Kami everything was already accounted for. About his origins, probably nothing new was gained because those years prior to the split seemed pretty boring. Maybe the original face and race of the former Kami is the most interesting memory Kamiccolo got.

Perhaps some flashbacks from Namek because Kami knew how to create Shenron, that could've been just his innate ability or he actually remembered seeing Porunga or something about the DBs and started from there to create our DBs. But he doesn't even remember his own name, or what tribe he was from, so I guess he has no clue what he went through on Namek.

To me the Nameless Namekian has always been just the character of "kami/earth god". He speaks of that time as if it was his life, and if he was too small when his father put him on that ship that's likely the reason he never knew much about Namek. As for him still remembering the language, might be just that Namekian children can have some basic knowledge passed from from their parents, like King Piccolo gave all his knowledge to Piccolo Jr.
