Possibly a broken ability.

Post by Hitiro » Tue May 05, 2015 11:12 am

I just realised that because Dragon Clan Namekians can birth their own kind and choose what type of Namekian is born. They can effectively birth 20 Warrior Type Namekians and have them all fuse through the Namekian fusion technique. And keep on doing this for many years till they have a really incredibly powered Namekian.

I'm guessing they have their limits as to how many they can spit out.If you noticed king piccolo's minions were totally different fro ma namekian,only piccolo jr was the same.So who knows if they can spawn more than 1.

And you forget namekians are a very peaceful race,so i doubt theyd ever do that.

We don't know for a fact that they can choose which clan a baby is born into. In fact, there's evidence pointing to the contrary; it's rare to be a warrior and Saichoru shouldn't have birthed any warriors since he needed farmers.

Although to play devil's advocate against myself, the first thing Saichoru did after making his DBs was to have used them to fix the planet and bring back everyone who died. :|

The Daizenshuu 4 says that normally only the elder births new Namekians and that he would only birth around 10 to 20 Namekians(This was a system put in place to prevent overpopulation I assume). Saichoro(Guru) broke this rule and birthed 100 because the race was going to go extinct.

I don't think it is rare for a warrior type to be birthed. I find it hard to believe that out of 100 Namekians only Nail was a Warrior Type. Considering the ease at which Piccolo produce Warrior Type mutant Namekians and even produced an offspring which was his reincarnation it seems their birthing process is very flexible. Saichoro just didn't need Warrior Type Namekians because his race were a peaceful people and he really needs to repopulate the Namekian race rather than make warriors which can't birth new Namekians.

My guess would be that since Warrior-type Namekians are so much stronger than normal, birthing them requires a lot more energy and effort from the parent. So they probably can't be birthed as numerously out as often.

Wouldn't that effectively be child abuse?

"Hello son, I just birthed you for the sole purpose of losing your individual mind and identity in order to merge with all of my other children to become nothing more than a thug who I can use to terrorize people. Now fuse!"

Wouldn't be surprised if they turned on their father that way.

They might have to be extremely similar in order to fuse with one another. Nail and Piccolo were very alike and Kami essentially is Piccolo. Furthermore, we don't know if they can have twins, or produce two or more offspring that are damn near genetic parallels.

The guidebooks suggest they only have to be Warrior Types to fuse. And that the fusion between Piccolo and Kami was a special case because they were originally one being anyway.

I see. Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

I guess they could put a system in place where the eldest Namekian Warrior Types fuse with the younger ones before their power starts declining from old age. Then they can constantly reinforce the new generation. They may be a peaceful people but it would make sense for them to have a back-up just in case someone like Freeza shows up again.

It is funny that this is exactly what happened with Piccolo though. Only he stopped terrorizing people exactly after his fusion.
