[edit] Race name

Is the name for this release really 'Namekian'? I haven't sat through Dragon Ball Z for a few years until recent months, but where I am now (Imperfect Cell Saga), the race members haven't been called anything more than Nameks. The character reference of Budokai Tenkaichi 3 calls them Namekians, but video games have one of the lowest precedences in the wiki's naming scheme. Storm 00:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Either Or. Kazidii^--^--^- I Am Ordering!

IIRC, they were called by both names throughout the series. I tend to use "Namekian" just to differentiate between the race and the planet, though I'd venture a guess that "Namek" was used more often than "Namekian" when referring to the race. (I was just thinking a few edits ago that this might be a good thing to discuss and make a decision about.) --

[edit] Aging issues

This has been on my mind for a while when I started looking at Piccolo's Age. Dende is about 5 Years old in the Cell Games, and Piccolo is only 1 year older than Gohan, and yet when Piccolo was 4 in the 21st Tenkaichi Budokai, he had the body/mind of a full grown Namekian.

Now, I know there have been issues since the race was retconned in DBZ (Making piccolo an Alien instead of a Demon like in DragonBall) Among other things, like King piccolo's other sons, and such, but I've been wondering if somehow a Namekian could accelerate their aging process, or their own spawn, just to explain this issue.

What are your thoughts on this problem? Supersaiyanbatman 02:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
