Who is the Strongest Namekian in the Dragon Ball Universe?

The question of who the strongest Namekian is in the Dragon Ball universe has long been a subject of debate. In Dragon Ball Super, the concept of the Super Dragon Balls, which were created by Zalama, introduces the idea that the creator of these powerful artifacts might possess even greater power.

Strength of Piccolo

The strongest Namekian, according to many fans, is considered to be Piccolo, especially in his fused forms. After fusing with other Namekians, particularly with Nail and later with Kami, Piccolo's power significantly increased. Piccolo's strength allows him to compete with powerful foes such as Cell and Majin Buu.

Interestingly, Piccolo's lineage and abilities make him a compelling candidate for the title of the strongest Namekian. He started off with a regular power level that was just under the power of Super Saiyan Vegeta, and then absorbed Kami, surpassing even Vegeta's power in his Super Saiyan form. Additionally, Piccolo absorbed Nail, the strongest warrior sent to protect the guardian of Namek, which increased his power even further.

The Universe 6 Namekians

Another contender for the title of the strongest Namekian could be the Universe 6 Namekians. These Namekians, such as Haas and Tolla, were part of the Namekian conflict in Fusionalted. They are known to have fused with hundreds of thousands of other Namekians to increase their power, which could make them as strong as Piccolo or even stronger.

Two Namekians in particular, Saonel and Plina, are noteworthy. As the result of Namekians in Universe 6 fusing together to ensure their species' survival, they managed to withstand Piccolo's attacks with only minor damage. This suggests that they might be stronger than Piccolo. However, it's important to note that Saonel and Plina were specifically created for the purpose of fusing, and their power might not be comparable to that of Piccolo who gained immense power through absorbing Kami and other Namekians.

The Potential of Zalama and the Super Dragon Balls

The creation of the Super Dragon Balls by Zalama introduces another dimension to the discussion. Since the power of the Dragon Balls is determined by the creator, and Zalama is the creator of these omnipotent artifacts, he might be on a different level of power. In theory, the creator of Dragon Balls that can grant any wish would need to be close to omnipotent, making him a strong contender for the title of the strongest Namekian.

Conclusion

While Piccolo is a prime candidate for the title of the strongest Namekian, other Namekians such as the Universe 6 ones and even the creator of the Super Dragon Balls, Zalama, cannot be ruled out. The true answer may depend on how one interprets the power dynamics within the Dragon Ball universe. Regardless, the debate surrounding the strongest Namekian remains one of the most intriguing aspects of this beloved series.
