The series promises to be an adventure for all fans and newcomers to enjoy in the franchise while expanding viewers’ understanding of the Demon Realm as it reacts to the conclusion of Dragon Ball p. Still, perhaps the most critical species keep much of the plot alive Dragon Ball Dima Is The Namekians, whose origins get an exciting new recon In episode #1, confirming their Demon Realm origins.

Namekians were first introduced in Dragon BallUnbeknownst to fans that they are an alien race, as the series has yet to introduce interplanetary threats like the Saiyans and so on. But as the series progressed, with a trip to Planet Namek, it seemed at first to be logical that this was their starting point, only for Dragon Ball Super To add more mystery to the species. in dragon ball dima, Although, the Namekians are getting exciting new exposureThanks to Gomah’s knowledge of the race and the Demon Realm resident, Neva.

Namekian Demon Realm Origins Confirms Dragon Ball Super Lore

Another realm indeed

in Dragon Ball Dima Episode #1, while Gomah and Degesu watch footage recounting the events of Dragon Ball pThey see Piccolo and Dende, shocked at the presence of Namekians (hereafter called Nameks.) They understand that this means. Almost all Nameks escaped the Demon RealmAn important reference to Dragon Ball Super Chapter #69, where Moori explains that the Nameks moved to Universe 7 from “another realm altogether.” Not only does this solidify the origins of Namek, it also indicates that Neva is the oldest known resident, with his delight at seeing Dende speak volumes.

Upon seeing Dende, Neva notes that he hasn’t seen a Namek for thousands of years, which ties in with Goma’s shock upon seeing them and Degesu’s comments that they couldn’t find others after searching. The Nameks probably went through a mass exodus without Demon Realm royalty as Gomah knew, Allowing them to colonize planets along Universes 6 and 7. But another intriguing element is Neva himself, who overwrites a record previously set by the Grand Elder Guru in Dragon Ball Dima.

Neva is the oldest Namek still in Dragon Ball

The last remnant of Namek’s Demon Realm origins

As Neva’s moment with Dende confirms, he proclaims to be old enough to recall “thousands of years,” indicating that Neva is the oldest Namek yet, far exceeding the Grand Guru Elder’s approximately 500 years of life. Unlike Guru, who died of natural causes, Neva remains surprisingly active, if old and “senile” as noted by Gomah; Whether the Demon Realm improves his longevity, or if time passes differently there, is undetermined. But with Neva created the Dragon Balls of the Demon RealmOther questions may arise about them or his other creations, the Tamagamis.

Neva’s Dragon Balls are unique to Massive and only have three instead of the typical seven. With only episode #1 of Dragon Ball Dima So far, it remains unconfirmed whether these are the first Dragon Balls in the timeline. yet, Their existence and the premise of black will is probably only available to them Makes Neva a uniquely fascinating character, with the Dragon Balls likely being powerful enough to be guarded by the Tamagamis.

Namekian Demon Origins call back to original Dragon Ball

For the old school Toriyama fans

For those who don’t know yet, the original Dragon Ball Introduced Namex as King Piccolo and Kami, as introduced in chapter #135, who is reincarnated as the Piccolo beloved by fans and Akira Toriyama by the present. It is a remnant of a simpler time, when existential threats were sealed in rice cookers instead of threatening the earth with its imminent demise. Due to his counterpart, Kami, representing the good side of his people, the dichotomy indicates one instance of the Namex split from their Demon Realm origins. yet, In all likelihood, it’s just a completely rewritten beginning.

with Dragon Ball Super Chapter #69 confirming Namekian origins, it’s important to recognize how it relates to DAIMA About the Dragon Balls. Moori discusses how they can vary in size depending on the creator, with other sets Other settled planets like Namek, Kasha and EarthAnd their original purpose. The chapter clarifies that the Dragon Balls were originally intended “as rewards for brave warriors who seek them in times of great suffering.” Neva’s dragon balls, guarded by powerful tamagamis, indicate that only warriors would be worthy of collecting them.

However, the origins of the Namekian Demon Realm basically function as a nod to how they were introduced to the Dragon Ball Canon, and Thanks to DAIMAThey can technically be considered demons. It’s an exciting development that likely means Piccolo could have an expanded role in the anime, along with the update making Team Four star jokes about Piccolo’s recon even more amusing now. But importantly, Namekian learning seems to have found its missing link Dragon Ball Dima Episode #1.
