Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama, has explored many realms throughout its lengthy journey. Initially, the series focused on Earth, but later introduced the identity of the Saiyans and various other extraterrestrial beings in Dragon Ball Z. Subsequently, Dragon Ball Super expanded even further, uncovering all new universes and leading to a powerful Tournament of Power. In Dragon Ball, the transformation of the Saiyans is the main attraction of the series; however, the Namekians are equally compelling.
The Namekians have abilities that surpass the Saiyans
Piccolo, a character from Namek, is one of the main protagonists in Dragon Ball. Over time, he switched sides and became one of the strongest defenders of Earth. Throughout the series, Piccolo has been a mentor to Gohan, and he eventually underwent a significant transformation into Orange Piccolo.
However, the abilities of a Namekian are not merely limited to their strength; they are renowned for creating the Dragon Balls. The Dragon Shenron was created by the powerful Namekian sorcerer. Millions of years ago, the great deity Zalama created a super dragon for universes 6 and 7. For many years, the Namekians sought to create their own super dragon but were unsuccessful. Ultimately, the elder Guru harnessed the power of the dragon balls that the Namekian people possessed to create their own dragon.
Namekians are the only beings capable of creating their own unique Dragon Balls, which can be used for wishes. Each Dragon Ball is closely tied to its creator and transforms into a star after their death.
The Namekian race consists of two main factions: the warrior clan known for their combat abilities and the healer clan referred to as the Dragon Clan, who possess magical skills. According to lore, each member of the Dragon Clan can create their own Dragon Balls, similar to what Kami did when he arrived on Earth.
The dragon ball collectors can invoke the wish-granting dragon and receive their desired wishes. Both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z have shown numerous instances where individuals died and were revived using the Dragon Balls.
This represents a significant advantage for the Namekians, as they can even utilize the dragon balls to restore the Saiyans’ declining powers.
The Namekians’ unique abilities
Kami and Dende are associated with the Dragon Clan because they created the Dragon Balls. In the early days, King Piccolo did not even know he was a Namekian when he arrived on Earth, instead believing he was a demon king. However, over time, everyone learned about their origins and how the Dragon Balls were created.
Some users on Reddit have discussed the unique abilities of Namekians and expressed interest in them. This is evident, as the Dragon Balls are the central element of the series, even leading Akira Toriyama to name his work after them, Dragon Ball.
There are different types of Dragon Balls, depending on their origin. For example, the Dragon Balls on Earth are smaller compared to those on Namek. Additionally, the Namekian Dragon Balls summon the dragon Porunga instead of Shenron as seen on Earth. Porunga can grant up to three wishes.
