Biography

Planet Namek

Dende is the 108th child of the Eldest Namekian[1] and lives in a village with several other Namekians, including Cargo and Muri.[2] In Age 762,[3] Freeza and his men terrorize this village seeking the wish-granting Dragon Balls. Elder Muri does not want to hand over his village's Dragon Ball to such evil people, so Freeza has his men kill as many Namekians as it takes for them to start cooperating.[4] Dende ends up being the sole survivor of his village, as Son Gohan and Kuririn suddenly show up and rescue him.[5]

These Earthlings have come to Planet Namek in order to restore the Earth's set of Dragon Balls.[6] Hoping they can save the Namekians from Freeza's clutches, Dende introduces the Earthlings to the Eldest Namekian, who brings out their hidden power and gives them his Dragon Ball.[7] After a struggle to get all seven together, the Earthlings are ready to summon Porunga, but the incantation and wishes must be spoken in the Namekian language.[8] Dende helps them with this, and the Earthlings get their wishes granted.[9]

A furious Freeza arrives[10] and fights the Earthlings, while Dende repeatedly uses his ability to heal their injuries.[11] Dende gets killed once Freeza catches on to this,[12] but comes back to life when the restored Earth's Dragon Balls are used to revive all of Freeza's victims.[13] Planet Namek is about to explode, though, so everyone gets evacuated to Earth.[14] Dende and the other Namekians stay at Capsule Corporation for a while, until their Dragon Balls recharge and they are able to wish themselves to a new suitable planet.[15]

God of Earth

In Age 767,[16] Gohan's father Son Goku suddenly appears on New Planet Namek by using his Teleportation technique. Earth's former God is no longer around, so the Dragon Balls he created are no longer functioning. Goku hopes to recruit another Namekian to become Earth's new God, and Muri thinks Dende is a good candidate. After a happy reunion with Gohan and Kuririn on Earth,[17] Dende reactivates the existing set of Dragon Balls.[18] They are used to revive the victims of Cell, the latest menace to plague the Earth.[19]

Dende's first seven years as Earth's God pass by peacefully, until the sorcerer Bobbidi awakens Majin Boo. This magical being kills nearly all the humans on Earth and even makes his way to God's Temple.[20] Mister Popo, God's assistant, throws Dende down to the world below to get him away from Boo and ensure the Dragon Balls remain usable. Gohan and his friends eventually find Dende,[21] but they are unable to prevent Boo from blowing up the Earth. Goku manages to teleport Dende and a few other survivors to the Kaiōshin Realm, however.[22] While Goku has a final showdown against Boo, Dende goes to New Planet Namek to wish back the Earth[23] and its inhabitants.[24] The third wish is used to restore Goku's energy, which allows him to finish Boo off.[25]

Ten years later,[26] Dende attends the 28th Tenka'ichi Budōkai as a spectator, where he witnesses Goku's match against Oob, the reincarnation of Boo.[27]
