Biography

Muri is one of the elders of Planet Namek who keeps a Dragon Ball[a] in his village. In Age 762,[4] Freeza and his men terrorize this village, seeking the wish-granting power of the Dragon Balls. Muri does not want to cooperate with such evil people, so Freeza has his men kill as many Namekians as it takes for him to give in. Muri eventually gives up his Dragon Ball, but Freeza also wants information on where to find the remaining ones.[1] Refusing to betray his fellow Namekians, Muri prepares to fight back, but gets killed by Dodoria before he can do anything.[5]

Unbeknownst to Muri, Earthlings have come to Planet Namek in order to restore the Earth's set of Dragon Balls.[6] After a struggle against Freeza's men, they manage to get their wish,[7] and then the Earth's Dragon Balls are used to revive Freeza's victims, including Muri.[8] Planet Namek is about to explode, though, so everyone gets evacuated to Earth.[9] There, the Eldest Namekian uses the last moments of his life to fill everyone in on what has been going on. Before passing away, he names Muri the new Eldest.[10] Muri 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.[11]

In Age 767,[12] the Super Saiyan from Earth who defeated Freeza, Son Goku,[10] suddenly appears on New Planet Namek. 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.[13]

Seven years later, a magical being called Majin Boo blows up the Earth, but Dende manages to survive. He comes to New Planet Namek in order to wish back the Earth[14] and its inhabitants.[15] Dende is worried that the Namekian Dragon Balls can only resurrect one person per wish, but Muri has upgraded them to allow for mass resurrection.[14] The third wish helps defeat Boo, as it restores Goku's energy to the point that he is able to finish him off.[16]
