The homeland of the [[Namekians]]. Under the [[Earth]] coordinate system, it is located in Direction SU83, Point 9045YX. Long ago, in [[Age 261]], this planet was devastated by a weather anomaly, and nearly all of the Namekians were killed. Previously it had been a beautiful planet with green skies and dark green seas, where a tall plant called the [[Ajissa]] grew thickly. It was in the process of being restored to that beautiful state by the [[Eldest]]. Namek was destroyed by [[Freeza]] during his battle with [[Son Goku]].

==General Overview==

Namek has been an inhabited planet for more than 75 million years. In that distant past, the [[Dragon Clan]] first created the [[Dragon Balls]], magical artifacts that could grant any wish. The [[East Kaiōshin]] of that time ensured that only Namekians would have that power as he trusted only them to use it responsibly.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=509}}</ref> Approximately 500 years before the events of the series, Namek suffered a weather anomaly which nearly wiped out the planet. [[Katatz]], a member of the Dragon Clan, sent [[God|his child]] out into space to avoid the disaster, crash landing on [[Earth]].<ref>{{Cite guidebook|Title="The Birth of God and the Prosperity of the Saiyans"|Book=13|Page=pp. 16-17}}</ref> (In the [[Dragon Ball Z Movie 4|movie continuity]], [[Slug]] also escapes the planet before its destruction.) Only a single Namekian survived the disaster, now known as the [[Eldest]]. He repopulated the planet asexually, giving birth to at least 108 children in the next five centuries. This elder was also able to recreate a set of [[Namek Dragon Balls]] which summoned the dragon [[Porunga]].<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=260}}</ref> Of his children, approximately 95 were Dragon Clan with the remainder being [[Warrior-type]] Namekians.<ref>{{Cite guidebook|Title="Races"|Book=13|Page=pp. 40-41}}</ref>

In [[Age 762]], Namek was visted by a series of aliens who had discovered the power of the Dragon Balls: first [[Freeza]] and his men, then [[Vegeta]], and finally [[Son Gohan]], [[Kuririn]], and [[Son Goku]]. Freeza takes a scorched-earth tactic and destroys villages looking for the Dragon Balls. After our heroes arrive, a three-way struggle ensued for control of the balls, resulting in [[Piccolo]]'s arrival to the scene. Before the third wish could be granted, the Eldest passed away due to stress from the ongoing invasion. In the ensuing battle between Goku and Freeza, the latter launched a ''[[ki]]'' attack into the planet's core, causing it to rapidly decay and collapse. Prior to its destruction, the Earth and Namek balls were used in sequence (with the Earth ones restoring the Namek ones to power for the final wish), reviving everyone killed by Freeza and transporting them to Earth before the planet exploded. Namek was destroyed on 24 December Age 762.<ref>{{Cite guidebook|Title="Life That Blazes in Space"|Book=13|Page=pp. 26-27}}</ref>

A Namek solar year lasts approximately 130 Earth days, although the planet itself is bathed in eternal sunlight due to its three suns.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=239}}</ref>

'''Piccolo''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Piccolo makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 161|chapter 161]], published in the 1988 #11 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''.

==Biography==
===23rd Tenka'ichi Budōkai arc===
This Piccolo is simultaneously the offspring of the [[Demon King Piccolo]], as well as his reincarnation.<ref name="ch186">{{Cite manga|Chp=186}}</ref> After hatching from an egg, he grows into his full height within three years and enters the 23rd [[Tenka'ichi Budōkai]] intending to avenge his former self's death at the hands of [[Son Goku]].<ref name="ch161">{{Cite manga|Chp=161}}</ref><ref name="ch166">{{Cite manga|Chp=166}}</ref> So as not to reveal his identity, he competes under the alias Ma Junior.<ref name="ch168">{{Cite manga|Chp=168}}</ref> Another contestant who is hiding his identity is the [[God]] of [[Earth]], Piccolo's benevolent other half. They face off in the semi-finals, and although God fails to defeat Piccolo,<ref name="ch181">{{Cite manga|Chp=181}}</ref> Goku succeeds in the final match.<ref name="ch193">{{Cite manga|Chp=193}}</ref> The latter then prevents God from finishing Piccolo off, not only because killing him would also kill God, but also because Goku enjoys having a challenging opponent around.<ref name="ch194">{{Cite manga|Chp=194}}</ref>

===Saiyan arc===
Five years later, [[Raditz]] arrives from space and reveals that both he and Goku are [[Saiyans]], powerful alien warriors who conquer planets and then sell them to new inhabitants. He says they will conquer the Earth as well, and wants Goku to help him with that. When Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps his four-year-old son, [[Son Gohan]].<ref name="ch197">{{Cite manga|Chp=197}}</ref> Piccolo does not like how Raditz stands in the way of his own conquest of the world, and joins forces with Goku to try and take him down.<ref name="ch198">{{Cite manga|Chp=198}}</ref> Goku ends up sacrificing his life to accomplish this, letting Piccolo's newly developed ''[[Makankōsappō]]'' technique drill a hole through both him and Raditz. Before he dies, Raditz hears from Piccolo that Goku will be brought back to life by the wish-granting [[Dragon Balls]]. Raditz transmits this information to his two Saiyan comrades out in space, who head off to Earth hoping to wish themselves immortal.<ref name="ch204">{{Cite manga|Chp=204}}</ref>

Faced with the imminent arrival of two even more powerful Saiyans, Piccolo takes Gohan — who showed tremendous hidden power against Raditz — out into the wilderness to toughen him up.<ref name="ch206">{{Cite manga|Chp=206}}</ref> Roughly a year later, the Saiyans [[Vegeta]] and [[Nappa]] land on Earth. When they see Piccolo, they note that he is a [[Namekian]] and theorize that there must be Dragon Balls on [[Planet Namek]] as well.<ref name="ch214">{{Cite manga|Chp=214}}</ref><ref name="ch222">{{Cite manga|Chp=222}}</ref> Joined by several comrades, Piccolo and Gohan face off against the Saiyans but suffer heavy losses, as the resurrected Goku cannot make it to the battlefield in time. Piccolo himself ends up taking a blast for Gohan, who he has grown unexpectedly attached to during their training, and dies. This causes God to die too, and renders the Dragon Balls he created defunct.<ref name="ch223">{{Cite manga|Chp=223}}</ref> Goku, Gohan and others manage to fight off the Saiyans, while Piccolo and the other fallen warriors travel the [[Serpent Road]] to [[North Kaiō's Planet|Kaiō's Planet]].<ref name="ch260">{{Cite manga|Chp=260}}</ref>

===Namek / Freeza arc===
In order to revive the Saiyans' victims, Gohan and others travel to Planet Namek to seek an alternative set of Dragon Balls. They are met with heavy resistance, though, as not only Vegeta is also seeking the Namekian Dragon Balls, but so is the ruthless intergalactic warlord [[Freeza]].<ref name="ch261">{{Cite manga|Chp=261}}</ref> Eventually, Gohan and friends manage to use the Dragon Balls to revive Piccolo and transport him to Planet Namek.<ref name="ch293">{{Cite manga|Chp=293}}</ref> Piccolo finds a wounded Namekian called [[Nail]] and [[Assimilation|merges]] with him.<ref name="ch295">{{Cite manga|Chp=295}}</ref> The newly powered-up Piccolo puts up a good fight against Freeza, until the latter transforms into a more powerful form.<ref name="ch302">{{Cite manga|Chp=302}}</ref> Piccolo distracts Freeza while Goku prepares a ''[[Genki-Dama]]'',<ref name="ch315">{{Cite manga|Chp=315}}</ref> but even that is not enough to finish him off. Freeza fires a beam through Piccolo's chest{{efn|In the anime, Piccolo shoves Goku aside to take this attack for him.<ref name="ep95">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=95}}</ref>}} and he falls unconscious.<ref name="ch317">{{Cite manga|Chp=317}}</ref>

By the time he wakes up, he is back on Earth. Freeza damaged Planet Namek to the point of collapse, so a wish was made upon the Dragon Balls to evacuate everyone from Namek to Earth. Only Goku remains on Namek to fight Freeza, and Piccolo thinks he is doomed, but Gohan reveals that his father transformed into a [[Super Saiyan]].<ref name="ch327">{{Cite manga|Chp=327}}</ref> Planet Namek explodes and both Goku and Freeza are thought to be dead,<ref name="ch328">{{Cite manga|Chp=328}}</ref> but when Gohan and the others attempt to revive Goku with the Dragon Balls, the [[Porunga|dragon]] says he is still alive and will return to Earth in his own time.<ref name="ch329">{{Cite manga|Chp=329}}</ref>

===Garlic Jr. arc===
In an anime-exclusive story arc, [[Garlic Jr.]] escapes from the [[Dead Zone]] due to the [[Planet Makyō]] approaching Earth and increasing his power.<ref name="ep110">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=110}}</ref> He seals God and his assistant [[Mister Popo]] into little flasks and pours the [[Aqua Mist]] down from [[God's Temple]] onto the world below. This turns almost everyone on Earth into members of the [[Demon Clan]],<ref name="ep108">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=108}}</ref> although Gohan and a few others manage to avoid this fate. Piccolo pretends to get infected so that he can get close to Garlic Jr. and snatch the flasks containing God and Mister Popo from him.<ref name="ep112">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=112}}</ref> They are freed and manage to pour the [[Super God Water]] onto the Earth to return everyone to normal. Infuriated that his plans are getting foiled, Garlic Jr. tries to suck everyone into the Dead Zone,<ref name="ep115">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=115}}</ref> but ends up in there himself again when Gohan blasts Planet Makyō and causes it to explode.<ref name="ep116">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=116}}</ref>

===Artificial Human / Cell arc===
After a short period of peace, those on Earth who can sense ''[[Ki|ki]]'' suddenly notice two immensely powerful beings approaching the planet. They recognize one of them as being Freeza, who has returned in cybernetic form alongside his [[King Cold|father]].<ref name="ch329"/> Piccolo and the others despair, as Goku has not returned yet, but Freeza and his father are quickly destroyed by a mysterious young man who also seems to be a Super Saiyan.<ref name="ch332">{{Cite manga|Chp=332}}</ref> He greets everyone and accurately predicts that Goku will be arriving within a few hours.<ref name="ch333">{{Cite manga|Chp=333}}</ref> Goku and the young man go off to talk in private, but Piccolo's hearing is good enough to overhear everything they say. The young man is [[Future Trunks|Trunks]], the son of Vegeta and a time traveler from twenty years in the [[Future Trunks's Timeline|future]]. He has come to the past with a warning that deadly [[Artificial Humans]], even more powerful than Super Saiyans, will attack in three years. He also predicts that Goku will soon succumb to a [[Heart Virus|heart virus]], and has come to give him [[Heart Medication|medication]] against that. He hopes that if Goku survives, that will be enough to turn the tide against the Artifical Humans.<ref name="ch335">{{Cite manga|Chp=335}}</ref>

Piccolo trains with Goku and Gohan for three years, after which they go face off against Artificial Humans [[Artificial Human No. 19|No. 19]] and [[Artificial Human No. 20|No. 20]]. As Goku fights No. 19, however, he falls sick with the heart virus, much later than Trunks predicted.<ref name="ch342">{{Cite manga|Chp=342}}</ref> He gets taken back home and Piccolo and the others fight in his stead. They gain the upper hand, but Trunks shows up with a shocking message — he does not recognize these Artificial Humans.<ref name="ch347">{{Cite manga|Chp=347}}</ref> No. 20 turns out to be [[Doctor Gero]], the creator of the Artificial Humans, and runs off to his [[Doctor Gero's Lab|laboratory]] to awaken [[Artificial Human No. 17|No. 17]] and [[Artificial Human No. 18|No. 18]]. Trunks confirms that these are the ones that have been terrorizing his world.<ref name="ch350">{{Cite manga|Chp=350}}</ref> Piccolo and the others stand no chance against them, but do not get killed.<ref name="ch354">{{Cite manga|Chp=354}}</ref> Despairing at the power difference, Piccolo seeks out God in order to recombine with him.<ref name="ch355">{{Cite manga|Chp=355}}</ref>

God initially thinks there is no need, as these Artificial Humans do not seem as bloodthirsty as the ones Trunks knows, but then he spots a terrifying monster walking around on Earth. The two merge and become a Namekian who has long forgotten his true name.<ref name="ch360">{{Cite manga|Chp=360}}</ref> The Namekian confronts the monster and learns it is a being called [[Cell]], another creation of Doctor Gero's. He has come from the [[Cell's Timeline|future]], having stolen Trunks' [[Time Machine|time machine]], to seek out Artificial Humans No. 17 and No. 18. He wants to absorb them in order to reach his complete, "perfect", form.<ref name="ch363">{{Cite manga|Chp=363}}</ref> He runs away and hides his ''ki'' so no one can find him.<ref name="ch364">{{Cite manga|Chp=364}}</ref> Goku recovers and calls the Namekian "Kamiccolo",{{efn|"Kami" (神 ''Kami'') is the Japanese word for "God".}} to which the latter replies he prefers to keep the name Piccolo. Goku goes off with Gohan, Trunks and Vegeta to train in the [[Room of Spirit and Time]] at God's Temple, while Piccolo and the others continue to hunt down Cell. While trying to track him down, they are suddenly visited by the Artificial Humans. They seek Goku, but Piccolo will not give up his location and fights No. 17.<ref name="ch366">{{Cite manga|Chp=366}}</ref> They are evenly matched, although the latter has the benefit of limitless energy. Cell, having powered up to the point that Piccolo cannot stand up to him anymore, finds them.<ref name="ch368">{{Cite manga|Chp=368}}</ref> He beats Piccolo to near-death<ref name="ch370">{{Cite manga|Chp=370}}</ref> and absorbs No. 17,<ref name="ch372">{{Cite manga|Chp=372}}</ref> but No. 18 manages to escape.

Goku helps Piccolo and takes him to God's Temple, where Vegeta and Trunks emerge from the Room of Spirit and Time.<ref name="ch374">{{Cite manga|Chp=374}}</ref> They have done a year's worth of training in one day, and go off to fight Cell. Having merged with God, Piccolo can now see what is happening on Earth when he looks down from God's Temple.<ref name="ch377">{{Cite manga|Chp=377}}</ref> He witnesses Vegeta giving in to his Saiyan lust for battle and letting Cell absorb No. 18,<ref name="ch382">{{Cite manga|Chp=382}}</ref> and Cell's complete form being too much for Vegeta and Trunks to handle. Cell spares them, however, saying he will hold a martial arts competition called the [[Cell Games]].<ref name="ch388">{{Cite manga|Chp=388}}</ref> Piccolo takes his own turn in the Room of Spirit and Time in preparation, and though Goku notices his improvement, both he and Piccolo realize it will not make much difference.<ref name="ch392">{{Cite manga|Chp=392}}</ref> The Cell Games begin and Goku challenges Cell,<ref name="ch397">{{Cite manga|Chp=397}}</ref> but ends up forfeiting the match and asking Gohan to fight in his stead.<ref name="ch403">{{Cite manga|Chp=403}}</ref> Piccolo protests, not wishing to see Gohan get hurt or killed, but Goku argues that Gohan's hidden power is the key to defeating Cell.<ref name="ch405">{{Cite manga|Chp=405}}</ref> Cell is amused and tries to provoke Gohan into revealing this hidden power by sending [[Cell Junior|Cell Juniors]] after Piccolo, Goku and the others.<ref name="ch407">{{Cite manga|Chp=407}}</ref> Eventually, enough is enough and Gohan snaps, reaching the [[Super Saiyan 2]] state and overpowering Cell.<ref name="ch409">{{Cite manga|Chp=409}}</ref> Growing desperate, Cell blows himself up intending to take everyone down with him, but Goku teleports Cell to Kaiō's Planet at the last second.<ref name="ch412">{{Cite manga|Chp=412}}</ref> Goku and [[North Kaiō|Kaiō]] die, but Cell survives, [[Regeneration|regenerates]], and returns to Earth.<ref name="ch413">{{Cite manga|Chp=413}}</ref> After a ''[[Kamehameha]]'' versus ''Kamehameha'' clash with Gohan, Cell gets destroyed.<ref name="ch416">{{Cite manga|Chp=416}}</ref>{{efn|In the anime, Piccolo is one of the characters trying to help Gohan by blasting Cell from behind.<ref name="ep191">{{Cite episode|Series=Z|Eps=191}}</ref> In the manga, only Vegeta hits Cell with a distracting blast.}} Goku communicates from the afterlife that he does not wish to be revived, arguing that his presence makes Earth a target for bad guys.<ref name="ch417">{{Cite manga|Chp=417}}</ref>

===Majin Boo arc===
Seven years of peace pass, and one day Gohan invites Piccolo to the 25th Tenka'ichi Budōkai. Goku has been given special permission to come back for that one day, so everyone gathers for the competition.<ref name="ch426">{{Cite manga|Chp=426}}</ref> Piccolo is unnerved by his mysterious opponent, however, and forfeits his match.<ref name="ch439">{{Cite manga|Chp=439}}</ref> The stranger turns out to be the [[Shin|Kaiōshin]], a deity higher in rank even than the [[Dai-Kaiō]] above the four [[Kaiō]].<ref name="ch440">{{Cite manga|Chp=440}}</ref> He has come to the tournament to foil the plans of the sorcerer [[Bobbidi]], who is having [[Yamu|two]] of his [[Spopovitch|minions]] participate. When Gohan transforms into his Super Saiyan 2 state, those minions spring into action, drain his energy, and fly off.<ref name="ch444">{{Cite manga|Chp=444}}</ref> The Kaiōshin follows them, accompanied by Piccolo and several others. Tracking the minions to Bobbidi's hideout, Piccolo and the others find out that Bobbidi has [[Dabra]], the [[Great Demon King|King]] of the [[Demon Realm]], under his control.<ref name="ch447">{{Cite manga|Chp=447}}</ref> Dabra notices their presence and attacks, spitting at Piccolo with his petrifying saliva and turning him to stone.<ref name="ch448">{{Cite manga|Chp=448}}</ref> By the time Piccolo turns back to normal, Bobbidi has achieved his objective of awakening the powerful [[Majin Boo]]. Vegeta shows up to challenge Boo, "the one who killed Gohan",<ref name="ch464">{{Cite manga|Chp=464}}</ref> but realizes he cannot win and ends up sacrificing his life to blow Boo to bits.<ref name="ch467">{{Cite manga|Chp=467}}</ref> Boo can regenerate from the tiniest remaining fragment of himself, however, and survives.<ref name="ch468">{{Cite manga|Chp=468}}</ref>

With Gohan and Vegeta gone, and Goku having to return to the afterlife soon, everyone's hopes of beating Boo are pinned on the present-timeline child version of [[Trunks]] and Gohan's little brother [[Son Goten]]. Goku teaches them the [[Fusion]] dance before he departs, trusting Piccolo to continue their training in his absence.<ref name="ch477">{{Cite manga|Chp=477}}</ref> While the kids practice combining into [[Gotenks]], Boo befriends a [[Bee|dog]] and a human who calls himself [[Mister Satan]].<ref name="ch483">{{Cite manga|Chp=483}}</ref> Satan actually persuades Boo to stop killing, but when a couple of [[Rifle Gunman|gunmen]] shoot Boo's new friends, Boo gets so angry that a bunch of smoke comes out of him and forms into an embodiment of Boo's evil. This evil Boo eats the first Boo and transforms into a more powerful, muscular Boo.<ref name="ch485">{{Cite manga|Chp=485}}</ref> This Boo has the ability to sense ''ki'' and immediately flies up to God's Temple, to everyone's horror.<ref name="ch486">{{Cite manga|Chp=486}}</ref> Boo wants to fight the strong guy Goku promised him would come face him soon, so Piccolo thinks quickly and buys as much time as he can while having Trunks and Goten train in the Room of Spirit and Time.<ref name="ch487">{{Cite manga|Chp=487}}</ref> Piccolo takes Boo there, thinking he can trap Boo inside even if Gotenks loses.<ref name="ch489">{{Cite manga|Chp=489}}</ref> This does indeed appear to happen, so Piccolo destroys the entrance, but Boo screams in anger so loudly he rips open a hole between dimensions and escapes.<ref name="ch492">{{Cite manga|Chp=492}}</ref> Gotenks was only pretending to lose for dramatic effect, however, and reveals his [[Super Saiyan 3]] form.<ref name="ch493">{{Cite manga|Chp=493}}</ref> He continues to fight Boo, but just before he can deliver the final blow, his fusion time runs out.<ref name="ch495">{{Cite manga|Chp=495}}</ref>

'''Nappa''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Nappa makes his debut in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 204|chapter 204]], published in the 1989 #01/02 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'', as one of the few survivors of the [[Saiyan]] race.

==Biography==
Nappa is one of the few [[Saiyan | Saiyans]] to survive the destruction of [[Planet Vegeta]], and afterwards he continues to serve under [[Freeza]] alongside his fellow surviving Saiyans, [[Vegeta]] and [[Raditz]]. During their service, they discover a planet they can potentially sell at a high price; however the job may prove to be too difficult even for the three of them, so they decide to recruit Raditz's lost brother [[Son Goku|Kakarrot]] who is presumed to be alive on [[Earth]], having been sent there shortly before Planet Vegeta's destruction.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=197}}</ref> Nappa is listening via the [[scouter]] communication link as Raditz is killed on Earth by his brother, known on Earth as "Son Goku", and the [[Namekian]] [[Piccolo]]. As Raditz is dying, Piccolo torments him by informing him that Goku's friends will find the [[Dragon Balls]] and resurrect him, but then Raditz informs Piccolo that his comrades are listening, and will surely come for the Dragon Balls themselves. Nappa and Vegeta are indeed listening, but they decide they would rather wish for eternal life than resurrect Raditz. They soon depart on a year-long journey to Earth.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=204}}</ref>

The two Saiyans arrive on Earth a month short of a full year later, on '''03 November, Age 762'''.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=212}}</ref> Nappa gives a twisted 'greeting' to the planet by destroying the city where they land. Vegeta calls Nappa off from further large-scale destruction, fearing retail damage of the planet and the possible destruction of the Dragon Balls. The two begin searching for the highest battle power, reasoning that it would be either Raditz's killer or [[Son Gohan|Kakarrot's son]]. They are surprised to discover that the warriors on the planet have been preparing for their arrival; their power has increased, and they soon begin converging on one location.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=213}}</ref> When they arrive at the battlefield, Nappa attempts to assess the Earthlings' battle powers through his scouter, but Vegeta realizes that they are capable of hiding their true power. Wishing to draw that power out, Nappa begins planting [[Saibaiman|Saibaimen]], remarking that they should grow well in Earth's soil.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=214}}</ref> Surprised by their apparent strength and their dominance against the Saibaimen, albeit with the loss of [[Yamcha]],<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=215}}</ref> Nappa confronts the Earthlings personally,<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=216}}</ref> dominating the Earth warriors with little effort. After [[Chiaotzu]]<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=217}}</ref> and [[Tenshinhan]] die attempting to kill Nappa,<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=218}}</ref> Vegeta resolves to wait for Kakarrot, intending to make the Saiyan traitor pay in front of his remaining friends and son.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=219}}</ref>

When three hours have passed and Goku has not yet arrived, Nappa proceeds with his desire to kill those who remain. The Earth warriors hatch a plan to grab Nappa's tail, a common Saiyan weakness, only to find that Vegeta and Nappa have trained to eliminate this vulnerability.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=220}}</ref> With Goku finally resurrected and on his way to the battlefield,<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=221}}</ref> Nappa and Vegeta set out to kill Gohan, Piccolo, and [[Kuririn]] in order to enrage Goku upon his arrival. Nappa aims a final blast at Gohan, but Gohan is shielded by Piccolo, who dies as a result.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=222}}</ref> Deflecting Gohan's retaliatory [[Masenko]], Nappa attempts crush the boy with his foot, but Gohan is saved by the sudden appearance of [[Kinto'un]]. Goku has arrived at last,<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=223}}</ref> quickly showing immense strength and speed that surpasses even Nappa. Unwilling to believe Vegeta's reading of Goku's battle power, Nappa challenges him, but he is easily outclassed.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=224}}</ref> Despite his growing rage at being bested, Nappa surrenders the fight on Vegeta's order, deciding to attack Kuririn and Gohan instead. Goku manages to catch up to Nappa with his [[Kaiō-ken]] technique, crippling the Saiyan warrior. Goku advises Vegeta to leave and get medical attention for Nappa.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=226}}</ref> Ignoring Nappa's pleas for help, Vegeta reasons that he has no use for Nappa if he is incapable of fighting, so he throws him into the air and kills him.<ref>{{Cite manga|Chp=227}}</ref>

==Name==
The name Nappa comes from 菜っ葉 (''nappa''), referring to leafy vegetables. It is a common misconception that his name comes from Napa cabbage, a staple in East Asian cuisine, but [[Akira Toriyama]] set the record straight in ''[[Dragon Ball Forever]]'':<ref>{{Cite guidebook|Title="I want to know the characters' name sources!"|Book=20|Page=p. 158}}</ref>
{{
Quotation|This might just be my dialect, but leafy vegetables like spinach are called 'nappa' , so I took it directly from that.|Akira Toriyama
}}
Cabbage is often included in this group of vegetables.

==Production==
Nappa was created by [[Akira Toriyama]] for the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga. Toriyama noted that Nappa's design was a deliberate contrast to Vegeta's own design: a larger and visually stronger character who turns out to be the weaker of the two in actuality.<ref>{{Cite magazine|Mag=SJ|Year=2013|Month=May|Date=21 March 2013|Title="Akira Toriyama Special Interview"|Page=pp. 34-35}}</ref>

==Notable Skills==

==Performance==
Nappa is voiced by [[Shōzō Iizuka]] in ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', [[Kiyoyuki Yanada]] in ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'', and [[Tetsu Inada]] in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]''. He was also voiced by [[Hirotaka Suzuoki]] for ''[[Dragon Ball Z: The Great Legend of Son Goku]]''.

In the original [[FUNimation]] dub of ''Dragon Ball Z'', Nappa was voiced by [[Michael Dobson]] of [[Ocean Studios]]. When FUNimation switched to their in-house cast in 1999, the role was briefly filled by [[Christopher Sabat]] for minor scenes like the flashback in [[Dragon Ball Z Episode 104]]. In the 2005 redub of the series, Nappa was voiced by [[Phil Parsons]].

'''Bardock''' is a fictional character in the ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' manga series by [[Akira Toriyama]]. Bardock makes his debut in the [[Dragon Ball Z TV Special 1|first ''Dragon Ball Z'' television special feature]], but was later incorporated into the manga series in [[Dragon Ball Chapter 307|chapter 307]], published in the 1991 #5 issue of Shueisha's ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]''. Bardock is a Saiyan from the [[Planet Vegeta]], who is notable for having confronted [[Freeza]].

==Biography==
Bardock is a Saiyan who lived on Planet Vegeta. He is father to [[Raditz]] and [[Son Goku]] (née "Kakarrot") and the husband of [[Gine]].

===Dragon Ball Minus===
A month before the destruction of his homeworld, Bardock and all other Saiyans received an order from Freeza to return to Planet Vegeta. Suspecting Freeza's motives for this order, he and Gine arranged to have their son Kakarrot sent to Earth.

===A Final, Solitary Battle===
Alongside his crew consisting of [[Toma]], [[Selypa]], [[Pumbukin]] and [[Totapo]], Bardock works to eliminate the natives of Planet Kanassa. In an act of vengeance, a surviving Kanassan curses Bardock with visions of the fate of his own people. Upon his return to Planet Vegeta, Bardock is kept under surveillance due to abnormal brain wave patterns while Toma and the others are sent to Planet Meat. While in the healing tank, Bardock is haunted by visions of Planet Vegeta's destruction as well as visions of his newborn son growing up on a distant planet.

When Bardock is given the all clear to join his comrades, he finds them slain on the battlefield by Freeza's men. After barely surviving an encounter with Dodoria, Bardock returned home to warn the other Saiyans of their impending demise at the hands of Freeza. However, none of the other Saiyans believe his claims, leading him to confront Freeza alone.

Bardock's confrontation with the tyrant ultimately proves to be fruitless as he is seemingly wiped out alongside his planet, albeit reassured by his visions that Kakarrot will someday take vengeance on his behalf.

===Episode of Bardock===
Following Planet Vegeta's destruction, Bardock finds himself in the distant past on Planet Plant, the planet that will eventually become Planet Vegeta. After being treated by a local doctor named Ipana and his son Berry, Bardock defeates a pair of space pirates who have been causing trouble for the local village. Bardock then takes up residence in a nearby cave.

Upon the arrival of Chilled, the leader of the space pirates, Bardock is summoned back to the village by Berry. Upon seeing Chilled, Bardock mistakes him for Freeza and attacks him in a rage. After seemingly being defeated by Chilled, Bardock's rage continues to boil over leading him to transform into a Super Saiyan, which gives him the power necessary to defeat Chilled. Having finally avenged his comrades with his victory, Bardock walks off into the sunset.

==Name==
Like other Saiyans, Bardock is named after a vegetable: burdock.

==Production==
Bardock was originally designed by [[Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru]], with his final design being revised by [[Akira Toriyama]].
