The Nickies are a sports team in the Dragon Ball franchise, playing Battle Ball for Nicky Town. They were created as part of an anime-only sequence scripted by Katsuyuki Sumisawa and Hiroshi Toda for episodes 144 and 145 of Dragon Ball Z.

General Overview

The Nickies are a Battle Ball team from Nicky Town. During Age 767, the team was ambushed by Imperfect Cell while traveling on their team bus between Ginger Town and Nicky Town. Two players are killed quickly while the rest are able to enter Battle Formation. Even so, they are easily defeated and absorbed by Cell.^[1] The players were likely revived by the dragon balls later in the year.^[2]

Name

The name of the team, ニッキーズ (Nikkīzu), is a variation of ニッキー (Nikkī), the name of their home town, adapted with an ending to mimic an English-style plural. The town name itself is based on an alternate spelling of cinnamon (にっき), rendered as katakana.
