Not to pick on you, but there seems to be some confusion lately as to how to spell the name of God/Piccolo's parent. In Japanese it's カタッツ/
Katattsu, a pun on
katatsumuri, meaning snail. So you could leave that as-is and call the character "Katattsu", or adapt it a bit and call him "Katatz" (similar to how
Radittsu becomes "Raditz"), but there's no reason to double that first 't' in his name; it's only the
tsu part that has a doubled consonant.

I'm glad you said something actually. I have to stop and think of how to spell it every single time. In fact, I think I might spell it differently every time I use it...

Do you guys think that Freeza was born form an
egg then? It would make
sense seeing as he doesn't have an penis.
Or maybe he
is like
a turtle,
with it inside his body and it's waiting to come out?
Also I was thinking Cell
's tail shot out his babies, but
Namekians spit theirs out the
ir mouth? Could
tails be the way Freeza
's (race?) give birth?
This takes me back early 97. I remember those days

I remember watch Dragonball on UPN or was in fox back in 1987. It air 4:00am in the morning.

Please work on improving your spelling and grammar. I have fixed several of your posts within the last half-hour and I can't keep doing it forever.

You still didn't answer the question. Also it was good enough to be understood by the hearts of the people, so relax
. Go have yourself
a beer.

Why do you say Freeza doesn't has a penis? Since he is half lizard it should stay inside of his body, however I think it probably is just not draw the same way Puar or any other aninal also don't have anything exposed...
And there is no way Freeza would have birth from his tail, his tail is clearly not like that...

I think it's noted in Daizneshuu 7 that it's implied to be something derived from Piccolo. Here's Herms' translation.
Herms wrote:Birthing Cell Juniors
First Appearance: Chapter 406
Category: ability
People: Cell
Special Characteristics: This is a technique where Cell, after reaching his perfect form, creates children with the same abilities as him from out of his tail that he has to absorb life energy. Cell can freely control the number of children created. Each of the children then has roughly the same amount of power and speed as Cell. This special ability could be said to be a developed version the Namekian Piccolo’s ability to create offspring.
I'd be willing to bet that it's probably related to Namekians, as opposed to Freeza's race. The gene splicing it took to make Cell might have just screwed up how exactly it happens.
