Dragon Ball Daima: Namekians Get a SHOCKING Origin Story Retcon!
Dragon Ball Daima: A Whole New Look at the Namekians!
Dragon Ball Daima, that insanely hyped new anime, is already blowing minds with its awesome visuals and deep lore! Just one episode dropped already! It’s bringing fresh adventures, expanding the Demon Realm storyline, and adding a new layer to the post-Dragon Ball Z world; especially since this very series presents many events which were otherwise absent in earlier series! Yet even more astonishing and surprising is this very massive reveal and changes introduced into the very lore related to those familiar characters: Those beloved, super-powerful Namekians. It is going to be a total game changer, adding a totally unique layer never before encountered.
This article discusses this huge retcon concerning Namekians’ origins. It is completely rewrites the very history we all think we know! We’re going deep into episode #1 and discovering this utterly shocking revelation: Namekians are from the Demon Realm! Prepare to have your mind blown!
The Demon Realm Secret: Namekians' Shocking Origins Revealed
Those Namekians, initially presented in Dragon Ball, as this strange species without alien origins, initially appearing in seemingly unrelated stories with no deep explanation for why these would later be so important (the series hadn’t encountered alien races yet!) They were originally this mystery. This is until Dragon Ball Super added some new layers regarding their universe! Then Dragon Ball Daima finally unlocks everything. Gomah and Degesu watch footage from Dragon Ball Z in episode #1, and suddenly, bam! Piccolo and Dende! This absolutely stuns these two because of Namekians' sudden appearance which they confirm themselves to be originating from the Demon Realm itself, adding yet another amazing development on the previously well-established history, adding new mysteries to old storylines and showing the great possibilities of connecting all these storylines, even after several iterations.
This perfectly complements Dragon Ball Super, chapter #69 where Moori mentions Namekians originated from another universe, totally reinforcing what was established. That moment of pure excitement seeing Dende? This joy is truly enormous. That detail implies most Namekians escaped the Demon Realm secretly, without notice from the highest authorities of the realm itself; it seems these individuals made their decision secretly, quietly creating their own homes and establishing settlements across Universes 6 and 7, creating an incredibly powerful narrative that demonstrates their strength as a people and their determination to move forward.
Neva: The Oldest Namekian EVER!
This next moment truly defines exactly what these individuals, this entire alien species, actually might mean and those immense impacts they will produce upon later storytelling choices. Neva, this really old Demon Realm resident has a really cool moment with Dende. Neva states he hasn’t seen another Namekian in thousands of years! This makes him seriously old. Way, way older than Grand Elder Guru (who lived about 500 years). Neva also made the Demon Realm's Dragon Balls; this totally shows his incredibly vast skills and adds intrigue, demonstrating this creative ability inherent within Namekians.
Neva's balls are way different. Only three instead of seven and totally enormous! Their significance has yet to fully come out; yet their existence and that completely unique function – that use involving only "black wishes" instead of those normal "white wishes" —makes him really cool and unique and opens opportunities that will dramatically change the world and how much power each individual holds.
Connecting the Dots: From Original Dragon Ball to Daima
Let's go back to King Piccolo and Kami (Dragon Ball chapter #135), showcasing those roots! They initially created those classic good/evil dichotomy that are extremely iconic; highlighting that some Namekians rejected that original world, representing this very crucial aspect – how those who reject darkness may move to brighter places. Then Dragon Ball Super added details regarding the size and original intended purposes. Now that Daima’s explicitly labeled these guys as demons (thanks to these Demon Realm origins!), this also really makes those Team Four Star jokes super funny— because it is actually really true!
This total reveal concerning Namekians' origins is a superb callback! DAIMA also suggests a deeper role for Piccolo; and this missing link within Namekian lore has just been unlocked.
Conclusion: Dragon Ball Daima Totally Reshapes the Dragon Ball Universe!
That Namekian retcon? Absolutely HUGE. It radically alters their history; completely shifting previous established lore and fundamentally impacting the entire story from various perspectives, expanding how powerful they truly were. This is all from only one episode of DAIMA showing exactly how vast this creative storytelling decision actually might be for all things in future storylines! It shows the universe’s massive scale; opening countless plot avenues for new series, especially concerning the power structures of various locations including the Demon Realm. Even seemingly small characters could rise, including those associated with the Namekians; adding much excitement regarding that series. Get ready, fans! The unexpected storytelling decisions alone showcase the potential within Dragon Ball itself and demonstrates the immense capability that Akira Toriyama has in delivering exciting and compelling stories in unexpected ways that leave even veteran viewers awestruck and amazed!
