"So, the son of Katas has passed. How tragic." DAMN. So TFS were actually making an obscure reference, not just making up a name? They really know their stuff.
Uh, no. The opposite of green is purple/magenta. Red, blue, and green are the three primary colors of light. (And cyan/teal, magenta/purple, and yellow the primary pigments) Get with the late 19th century!
I believe he actually created the black star dragon balls before becoming Kami, because he made them before splitting Piccolo off of himself. He didn't become Kami until after this split occurred.
Yes it's a mistake I made while I was writing the video. after doing more research, I discovered that the nameless namekian created the black stars dragon balls in those 30 years of training before becoming the next guardian of earth. I knew about him splitting before become the new guardian but I didn't know how to place the events, he actually had a period of 30 years between the first time he applied for that position and him splitting in order to achieve it.
@@senmonkashonen5875 I also have a theory that part of applying as guardian you need to present a gift to humanity that can be accepted or denied. Garlic was the nameless namekian's rival who also applied to be guardian, but was rejected because of his impure intentions. His gift was the aqua water, that was a control method to unite humanity, but once rejected he changed it into the black water mist which turns people into brainwashed vampires as we see in the dead zone movie. I think several other magic or impressive artifacts were previous Kami's contributions. Flying nimbus, Korin Tower, the power pole, sacred water, original senzu bean, etc. I also think it was uncommon for Kami to live as long as the nameless namakian, because most of them were probably humans with magical capabilities. Thus the large amount of "sacred" objects. I actually have a theory that master Mutaito was Kami's predecessor.
Honestly I'm so into it. With his design and color palette, he just feels like Shenron on steroids. He feels dangerous and on another level. Red is my favorite color too. He truly deserves his name: ultimate Shenron. It could be one of my favorite elements in GT.
So then that means Kami and Piccolo fusing back into one being resulted in the creation of two different forms of Dragon Balls on Earth. Which means DBGT actually carried more connections to the Dragon Ball universe than DBS.
@@seamusogil9229but Dende only reactivated the old (Kami’s) set, because making a new set would’ve taken more than a month, but Kamiccolo’s set (prior to Kami’s set, which is the one Dende reactivated) was also active due to Kami and Piccolo fusing
GT did a lot better in respecting the source material than Super does. It was no masterpiece by any means but it has its moments. At least it's better than Super. :D
Its neat having another reason for undergoing the split, I like gt using old lore in new ways like fir ssj4, as opposed to adding completely new stuff not too integrated with the past.
I think GT had a lot of interesting ideas. Like, the baby arc was such a great concept. However, I absolutely do not like how GT executed almost everything. There were also some deal breaker concepts. Like, if Goku was a kid for a singular arc, it would have been fine, but making that permanent was a terrible decision
@@quintinwood4397 Not really , Baby arc was well executed for what it was , the fights could just be made even longer taking advantage of its good story and making the series longer is a different thing , but this vague generic expression of " poorly executed " about everything GT is getting real old now .

Thanks for explaining the piccolo origin story Even after being a fan for decades that was still kinda fuzz So thanks for making it concise and easy to understand!
1. The evil in Kami wasn't uncontrollable. He expelled it so he could become earth's guardian. 2. The black star dragonballs are the same ones we see them use in the beginning of Z. They just changed into that version because Kami and Piccolo fused.
You should have watched it first. Don’t say it’s shit either because of others actually watch it. The beginning is slow but upon reaching baby the series picks up.
That's the black star eternal dragon. He's more powerful than shenron. Hence why they scatter across the universe and blow up the planet where the wish was made. The original namek had the evil in him and was essentially 50/50. The black star dragon shouldn't be seen as "evil". Just tainted. Only the evil eternal dragon from the negative energy build up is evil incarnate aka omega shenron
But Omega Shenron was from the Red star Dragon ball breaking not the Black star. I believe there is a scene is Dragon ball GT where on of each the Red str & black Star are sitting next to other & the red star begins to break. While the black star who've only had one two wishes on ever used in the anime show no signs of being affected.
They came back but they were hidden inside a well in the kami's lookout, which theoretically stops the signals that these dragon balls emits from being tracked by radars.
@@Raytheharbinger0the series has a fk ton of retcon fiascos anyway.

This actually solved the biggest plot hole of Dragon ball...who and what was King Piccolo a Namekian doing on earth and why he wanted to regain his youth
Yeah, nevermind the 7 whole years gap where nobody noticed an extra/different set of dragon balls laying around, even when they did a world wide search for them during the buu saga PS: I just remembered they're scattered around the universe in GT but I frankly find that stupider. Was it because of Piccolo's increased power? How'd they find out? How'd Pilaf come into their possession?
Thank you for saying thank you and for this nice comment. I will just highlight two small points for me and you. We in fact say: layman's terms and not lamens terms. (To describe the way of explaining complex concept using simplified terms). In this video I said that the nameless namekian became the guardian of earth, crafted the black stars dragon balls then seperated into kami and piccolo. But due to me searching more about this subject after I finished uploading the video, I found out that he actually applied to become the guardian of earth but he was refused by his predecessor because of his evil side, so he kept training for the next 30 years until he made the black stars dragon Balls , then he learnt to seperat himself in order to finally become the guardian of earth.
In the og Dragon Ball it tells a different story. Like how in the beginning it was just one ball but since men sucked with conflits because of it, the creator splited into 7 balls and scattered them around the world. So they weren't 7 at the start
Don’t know how but that song in the background sends shivers down my spine. In the shadow dragon arc it looked like it really was the end of the world.
I didn't watch dbz but i know some stuff lol and ummm king piccolo was the evil side and piccolo was the reincarnation/son if king piccolo thats why his the other split
This needs its own show. Consideration it says the nameless one has been on earth since childhood and had many adventures it could definitely be made into a new show!
It's a different type of dragonball (black star) that is scattered across neighboring galaxies, instead of just across earth. This shenron is a different more powerful/bigger shenron.
I miss this music in the background when I heard it the first time in GT I was blown away. The piano was a heavily used instrument in GT’s soundtrack & in my opinion many tracks were overlooked. Glad to hear the music playing in the background it brought back so many memories 😂
because GT is TOEI fanfiction used to milk the franchise when Toriyama decided to retire from writing more Dragonball. So TOEI had the brilliant idea to make a Super Shenron to reset Goku back to a kid and just retread every single arc... but slightly different. The Dragonball Evolution happened, and Toriyama came out of partial retirement to correct that great evil and relegate GT to the annals of non-canonhood at the same time.
in DBZ, before the last fight against Cell, Dende replaces/becomes Kami and revives Shenron because the dragonball turned into stones after Kami & Piccolo became one again. The stars don't turn black at all.
Because it’s not Shenron. It’s a totally different dragon from a completely separate set of dragonballs. That’s like asking why Shenron is all big and muscly when he appears on Namek. He’s not. That’s Porunga.
Actually it was? Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z explain Kami and Piccolo's past. GT actually does explain the black star Dragon Balls, and Piccolo chooses to remain dead so that they can never be used again.
He got sent to heaven after choosing to stay behind when earth was evacuating. Later in super 17 saga he ended up in hell only so he could help goku escape
Actually the Black Star Dragon Balls were made before he became Kami as you have to be pure of heart to take on the position & the Black Star Dragon Balls only exist due to the Nameless Namekian which is why they returned when Piccolo fused with Kami as he effectively became the Nameless Namekian reborn!
Black Star Dragonballs are different from the classic Red Star Dragonballs, thus the Dragons within them are also different. How is this a difficult concept to grasp?
Still kinda odd kami ended up making two sets of dragon Balls, but its kinda like yin and yang the black stars set deactivated when he and piccolo are split and reactivate when he and piccolo are one
That shenron is a plot hole. Kami's dragonballs became inert when he fused with Picollo. Kami ceased to exist, thus any dragonballs he created, whole or unwhole, ceased to exist. That's why Dende had to become the new Kami. GT is fanfiction.
And if that bs was cannon that would mean we wouldn't have needed to go to namek when piccolo fused with kami in the android saga we would have already had our own and wouldn't need anyone to make new ones
These dragon balls are dangerous, and they were hidden deep inside the lookout to avoid being used, why would they use it to create bigger problems which is the destruction of the planet itself after one year? Know that these dragon balls destroy the planet they are summoned in after one year. Plus we know that when piccolo fused with kami he didn't get all his memories right away. An example of that is when piccolo first met the kaioshins, he thought they are familiar but he couldn't remember them. Similarly, it could be that piccolo forgot about the black stars dragon balls, until they were used again, so he could recall their existence.
...Which kind of breaks the preceeding lore of DB, since the Nameless Namekian had to separate from his evil side to _become_ the guardian of Earth (i.e., Kami) in the first place. Another cool concept that GT introduced that fell flat on its execution. I will never not be mad at how GT was so close to being peak, yet just wasn't.
Actually i just assumed that myself. In reality we don't know when he created them exactly, it was never said in the anime or any official source that he made them upon becoming the guardian of earth. It's a mistake i did and I apologise for the misinformation. I did more research after and here is a possible explanation: we know that the nameless namekian kept training for 30 years in order to seperat from his evil side and finally become the guardian of earth. Age 731: the nameless one offered to be the guardian of earth but he was rejected by his predecessor due to his evil side. AGE 761: the nameless one succeeded to seperate himself into kami and piccolo after 30 years of hard training. and since splitting is a namekian ability that he never knew about but he ended up learning in those 30 years, it could be safe to conclude that he learned and discovered more of his namekian capabilities, including the ability to craft dragon balls (Dragon clan magic). He could have crafted these dragon balls almost like a prototype which explains their unpractical use. They show his desire to show power, his unacceptance to give abundantly without a cost and a merciless acountibility following its use.
I never realized how many people never watched GT until I started reading the comments here. That's the thing about GT: everyone says it's shit, but only a few have actually watched it.
Out of all the things GT did that everybody is immediately willing to throw in the Non-cannon pile…this kinda just makes sense. Like original namekian can create the balls to begin with so of course a Positive and Negative whole creature is gonna create a dragon infinitely larger than Shenron was ever gonna be, and of course the less used, way more evil negative balls would be much smaller than Shenron but pack the bigger punch. Though I will say by proxy that makes original dude so much more powerful than anything Z ever touched on, namekian wise. Like his first attempt with both halves creating this dragon suddenly makes a dragon bigger than Purunga!?! Purunga mind you was capable of 3 wishes and was made by a supremely powerful Guru…Jesus Christ that was strong.
"Why did shenron become Red in DB GT?" this implies the regular dragon ball shenron suddenly transformed or something... Which couldnt be further from the truth, there are different sets of dragon balls which in turn summon different designed dragons, plz stop clickbaiting viewers...
It's not click bait, this video was meant for those who never watched GT and truly think that Shenron became red in GT, due to the many misconceptions about this show. Of course the surprise is that Shenron didn't become red, rather it's a completely different dragon from a completely different set of dragon balls. I think you accused me really fast, if you already watched GT than know that not all people are like you. If you feel click baited than don't project your experience on my intentions.
There's a Kami in Dr. Slump, which precedes the Dragon Ball material. In that Kami looks exactly like Roshi. I know it's not the same thing, but Akira Toriyama does often like to use old redesigns of characters. Somewhat unrelated - Toei's original design for Lord Beerus (which was a muscular looking repilian) was speculated to possibly be Toei's interpretation of what the Kami of Planet Vegeta looked like.
I mean there are multiple types of Eternal Dragons or Shenrons, so color difference wasn't a big deal, just a question of is this Earth's Sheron? or a different Shenron? This definitely clears that up, that they are different Shenron. Like look at Super Shenron, that's gold in color (a bit... downgraded in name, since ultimate feels superior to super lol, but yeah still many times bigger and grander in power). I also was a bit spoiled despite trying to avoid manga spoilers, but noticed a white Shenron. Then you got Smoke Shenron that is dark blue, who says it's been ages since he was released. Which begs a question, despite using the regular Earth balls, is that Shenron different? Is that an English translation error (haven't watched GT since I was a kid, just looked up a youtube video, and haven't seen Japanese version to compare), or accurate? Sounds like it implies he existed at one point too and is separate from Green Earth Shenron too.
@@Jiron127 Ah makes sense, I vaguely recall, don't know if it's changed or was a myth? But that Shenron was in the core of the Earth? Can't remember if that was from the classic DB or not, and again maybe that was just an in world myth about Shenron. A world of dragons makes sense though, and just funny to think about, Smoke Shenron is just that douchey brother of Shenron and Ultimate Shenron. Like I picture a scene, where they're walking through the Dragon caeftiria, going to get lunch, he pushes through, out of my way nerds style blowing smoke in their face, and they say Ugh this guy. Parunga the fun uncle, the funcle if you will lol, Super Shenron their dad or grandpa or something.
@@shamirali70 Shenron, porunga, and ultimate shenron look like actual dragonball dragons even black smoke shenron but super shenron could have been made to look more menacing not just ridiculously big If they wouldve rendered ultimate shenron gold then he would have made a better super shenron
It just makes me so angry that Dragon Ball became so saiyan centric, that they forgot how powerful Kami was. If the Eternal Dragon he created is a reflection of his strength( able to destroy a planet) theres no telling how powerful he is!😊
I don’t think that’s the story behind the black star dragon balls. If I remember correctly they were black because they were used so much and since the 7 balls were meant to take a live time to find and assemble the evil that they gathered would have time to dissipate but since bulma created the radar and finding the balls was something that could be done in a afternoon the evil built up until they were completely corrupted and the last wish released the evil dragons within the balls one of which was omega ya da ya da ya da. At least that’s what I remember but I’ll be honest it’s been almost 17 years since if actually watched DBZ/ GT or anything dragonball and I never really watched GT so I’m a bad source lol
No he didn't know namek, he discovered that he is an alien later in life, theoretically when he was training to split himself. The conclusion that he was namekian was made by POPO, bulma and king kai if i do remember well.
Far as I remember Kami had to remove the evil in him before he could become the Guardian of the Earth, After doing that and making Piccolo he was allowed to become Guardian of the Earth.
He need to fuse with ultimate shenron in super like he did shenron in db superhero.
Ultimate Shenron has to exist first in the dragon ball super canon lore, because its existence was only confirmed in the dragon ball GT continuity.

In the og Dragon Ball it tells a different story. Like how in the beginning it was just one ball but since men sucked with conflits because of it, the creator splited into 7 balls and scattered them around the world. So they weren't 7 at the start
Bro this soundtrack for this video is firee
Don’t know how but that song in the background sends shivers down my spine. In the shadow dragon arc it looked like it really was the end of the world.
I can’t believe Piccolo is the evil half. He doesn’t seem evil at all.
I didn't watch dbz but i know some stuff lol and ummm king piccolo was the evil side and piccolo was the reincarnation/son if king piccolo thats why his the other split
In Dragon Ball he was "evil", but more so just a bad guy.
Evil is Buu, carnage and death for the laughs.
So basically GT made a retcon that doesn't change anything or affect the plot of previous arcs
GT knows how to keep continuity
This needs its own show. Consideration it says the nameless one has been on earth since childhood and had many adventures it could definitely be made into a new show!
They missed this opportunity in the super hero movie, they could have added more background.
Namekians drive the plot more than Saiyans
It's a different type of dragonball (black star) that is scattered across neighboring galaxies, instead of just across earth. This shenron is a different more powerful/bigger shenron.
DBGT > DBS
You can't change my mind
I miss this music in the background when I heard it the first time in GT I was blown away. The piano was a heavily used instrument in GT’s soundtrack & in my opinion many tracks were overlooked. Glad to hear the music playing in the background it brought back so many memories 😂
Something u never noticed.Most types of shenron.. well their head looks exactly like an oozaru's head
He has magic powers and wanted a new drip.
"I'll name my good side God and my evil side 'tiny lil flute'."
The calamity being caused by Super Kame Guru
because GT is TOEI fanfiction used to milk the franchise when Toriyama decided to retire from writing more Dragonball. So TOEI had the brilliant idea to make a Super Shenron to reset Goku back to a kid and just retread every single arc... but slightly different.
The Dragonball Evolution happened, and Toriyama came out of partial retirement to correct that great evil and relegate GT to the annals of non-canonhood at the same time.
Coolest thing about GT is that beginning and end the earths Dragon Balls are their greatest enemy.
This story line would be a pretty cool series on its one. I got one would love to see all the adventures Kami/piccolo went on after they landed.
in DBZ, before the last fight against Cell,
Dende replaces/becomes Kami and revives Shenron
because the dragonball turned into stones after Kami & Piccolo became one again.
The stars don't turn black at all.
They are 2 different sets of Dragon Balls, the nameless namekian made the Black Star Dragon Balls and Kami made the ones we always saw.
@@HiroUey and where were hidden those *black star Dragon Balls* during all this time?
So Piccolo is the owner of the Black Star Dragon Balls!? that makes a lot of sense now
This story was better then whole GT
Says a clown that never watched it 🤡
Because it’s not Shenron. It’s a totally different dragon from a completely separate set of dragonballs.
That’s like asking why Shenron is all big and muscly when he appears on Namek. He’s not. That’s Porunga.
Wow. It’s so cool how this was never explained in GT at all.
Actually it was? Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z explain Kami and Piccolo's past.
GT actually does explain the black star Dragon Balls, and Piccolo chooses to remain dead so that they can never be used again.
@@tonyf4991 I don’t ever remember that. Great, now I feel like I have to watch GT again. I didn’t ever wanna have to see Dolltaki again…
@@tonyf4991yeah that is 100% NOT why piccolo stayed in hell.
@@44warriorz44Yes it is
He got sent to heaven after choosing to stay behind when earth was evacuating. Later in super 17 saga he ended up in hell only so he could help goku escape
Metroid Prime music, rare these days.
So Shenron is Kami’s (later Dende’s) Dragon, while Ultimate Shenron was the Nameless Namekian’s Dragon
The red dragon is a completely different wish dragon from a completely different set of balls from Shenron similar to Porunga
What is even crazier to think of is, imagine if Omega Shenron absorbed both the blackstar and namekian dragon balls?
"He lead our people through the peral they said it was terrifying "
"The drought "
"No🙁"
Actually the Black Star Dragon Balls were made before he became Kami as you have to be pure of heart to take on the position & the Black Star Dragon Balls only exist due to the Nameless Namekian which is why they returned when Piccolo fused with Kami as he effectively became the Nameless Namekian reborn!
Black Star Dragonballs are different from the classic Red Star Dragonballs, thus the Dragons within them are also different. How is this a difficult concept to grasp?
Who still Remember that Piccolo also fused with Neil
Still kinda odd kami ended up making two sets of dragon Balls, but its kinda like yin and yang the black stars set deactivated when he and piccolo are split and reactivate when he and piccolo are one
This makes much more sense to the Dragon Ball lore than some silly Asspull super dragon balls
This adds so much to the lore of Dragon ball
The dragon is red because color changes are about the only "new" idea Super has.
Piccolo: "Im FrOm ThE WarRiOr RaCe!"
thats why he is called demon king piccolo
Becase of the red with black stars and nomle balls green one😅
That shenron is a plot hole. Kami's dragonballs became inert when he fused with Picollo. Kami ceased to exist, thus any dragonballs he created, whole or unwhole, ceased to exist. That's why Dende had to become the new Kami. GT is fanfiction.
And if that bs was cannon that would mean we wouldn't have needed to go to namek when piccolo fused with kami in the android saga we would have already had our own and wouldn't need anyone to make new ones
These dragon balls are dangerous, and they were hidden deep inside the lookout to avoid being used, why would they use it to create bigger problems which is the destruction of the planet itself after one year?
Know that these dragon balls destroy the planet they are summoned in after one year. Plus we know that when piccolo fused with kami he didn't get all his memories right away.
An example of that is when piccolo first met the kaioshins, he thought they are familiar but he couldn't remember them. Similarly, it could be that piccolo forgot about the black stars dragon balls, until they were used again, so he could recall their existence.
He is the child of Katoss. The Elder on planet Namek said it
...Which kind of breaks the preceeding lore of DB, since the Nameless Namekian had to separate from his evil side to _become_ the guardian of Earth (i.e., Kami) in the first place.
Another cool concept that GT introduced that fell flat on its execution. I will never not be mad at how GT was so close to being peak, yet just wasn't.
Actually i just assumed that myself. In reality we don't know when he created them exactly, it was never said in the anime or any official source that he made them upon becoming the guardian of earth. It's a mistake i did and I apologise for the misinformation. I did more research after and here is a possible explanation:
we know that the nameless namekian kept training for 30 years in order to seperat from his evil side and finally become the guardian of earth.
Age 731: the nameless one offered to be the guardian of earth but he was rejected by his predecessor due to his evil side.
AGE 761: the nameless one succeeded to seperate himself into kami and piccolo after 30 years of hard training.
and since splitting is a namekian ability that he never knew about but he ended up learning in those 30 years, it could be safe to conclude that he learned and discovered more of his namekian capabilities, including the ability to craft dragon balls (Dragon clan magic).
He could have crafted these dragon balls almost like a prototype which explains their unpractical use.
They show his desire to show power, his unacceptance to give abundantly without a cost and a merciless acountibility following its use.
"The balls are inert."
I never realized how many people never watched GT until I started reading the comments here. That's the thing about GT: everyone says it's shit, but only a few have actually watched it.
Them Japanese gt osts be harder than all the English ones
Actually some good lore, ngl
Actually that’s super helpful info, thanks!
Out of all the things GT did that everybody is immediately willing to throw in the Non-cannon pile…this kinda just makes sense.
Like original namekian can create the balls to begin with so of course a Positive and Negative whole creature is gonna create a dragon infinitely larger than Shenron was ever gonna be, and of course the less used, way more evil negative balls would be much smaller than Shenron but pack the bigger punch.
Though I will say by proxy that makes original dude so much more powerful than anything Z ever touched on, namekian wise. Like his first attempt with both halves creating this dragon suddenly makes a dragon bigger than Purunga!?! Purunga mind you was capable of 3 wishes and was made by a supremely powerful Guru…Jesus Christ that was strong.
It sound better when vegeta says it
is a GT trim spec, you get a Matt black one in the midnight edition
"Why did shenron become Red in DB GT?" this implies the regular dragon ball shenron suddenly transformed or something... Which couldnt be further from the truth, there are different sets of dragon balls which in turn summon different designed dragons, plz stop clickbaiting viewers...
It's not click bait, this video was meant for those who never watched GT and truly think that Shenron became red in GT, due to the many misconceptions about this show. Of course the surprise is that Shenron didn't become red, rather it's a completely different dragon from a completely different set of dragon balls.
I think you accused me really fast, if you already watched GT than know that not all people are like you. If you feel click baited than don't project your experience on my intentions.
Honestly im just curious who kami predecessor is
Till this day his identity remained unknown
He was most certainly an Earthling. I wonder how many guardians Mr. Popo has served.
In DBZ Multiverse it was Ganfal from One Piece XD
There's a Kami in Dr. Slump, which precedes the Dragon Ball material. In that Kami looks exactly like Roshi. I know it's not the same thing, but Akira Toriyama does often like to use old redesigns of characters. Somewhat unrelated - Toei's original design for Lord Beerus (which was a muscular looking repilian) was speculated to possibly be Toei's interpretation of what the Kami of Planet Vegeta looked like.
The predecessor of Kami is Kami
The albino Namekians drunk all the water
And still make no sense. Piccolo during the namek arc fused with Nail. So even by rejoining Kami in the Cell arc he isn't "nameless" namekian anymore
IMO This is why it makes sense that Piccolo got his new form from Shenron. it's his power in the first place.
Ohhhhh so that’s why when he fuses with kami he called himself the Namekian with no name
I guess that explains why piccolo died with the planet because he caused all of this in the first place (tehnically)
I mean there are multiple types of Eternal Dragons or Shenrons, so color difference wasn't a big deal, just a question of is this Earth's Sheron? or a different Shenron? This definitely clears that up, that they are different Shenron. Like look at Super Shenron, that's gold in color (a bit... downgraded in name, since ultimate feels superior to super lol, but yeah still many times bigger and grander in power).
I also was a bit spoiled despite trying to avoid manga spoilers, but noticed a white Shenron. Then you got Smoke Shenron that is dark blue, who says it's been ages since he was released.
Which begs a question, despite using the regular Earth balls, is that Shenron different? Is that an English translation error (haven't watched GT since I was a kid, just looked up a youtube video, and haven't seen Japanese version to compare), or accurate? Sounds like it implies he existed at one point too and is separate from Green Earth Shenron too.
All the shenrons seemingly exist in their own realm. The dragon balls are a means to summon them.
@@Jiron127
Ah makes sense, I vaguely recall, don't know if it's changed or was a myth? But that Shenron was in the core of the Earth? Can't remember if that was from the classic DB or not, and again maybe that was just an in world myth about Shenron. A world of dragons makes sense though, and just funny to think about, Smoke Shenron is just that douchey brother of Shenron and Ultimate Shenron. Like I picture a scene, where they're walking through the Dragon caeftiria, going to get lunch, he pushes through, out of my way nerds style blowing smoke in their face, and they say Ugh this guy. Parunga the fun uncle, the funcle if you will lol, Super Shenron their dad or grandpa or something.
When you don’t remember that the red dragon was summoned from the Dark dragon balls
Still amazing watching Kami split from Piccolo like...
Kami: DEMON BEGONE!😐
Piccolo: Nah I'm good bro I'm gonna stay 😏
Kami: 😅 Well then...
i feel bad for katas cause if someone says kutas they will call him dick in polish😥
It’s nice to know GT actually has stuff that makes sense
Why don't you actually watch the show before passing judgment
Wait..... now that I think about it, kami could have had a kid too. Imagine how Piccolo Jr and Kami Jr would have interacted
THIS sheron was the last imposing looking dargon in the series super shenron looks like a yugi oh character and the evil shenron looks too chill
Super shenron doesn't look like a "Yugioh" character.
@@shamirali70 Shenron, porunga, and ultimate shenron look like actual dragonball dragons even black smoke shenron but super shenron could have been made to look more menacing not just ridiculously big
If they wouldve rendered ultimate shenron gold then he would have made a better super shenron
I needed this info, I always wondered where they came from. And am too lazy to find the info about where they came from. Cheers
It just makes me so angry that Dragon Ball became so saiyan centric, that they forgot how powerful Kami was. If the Eternal Dragon he created is a reflection of his strength( able to destroy a planet) theres no telling how powerful he is!😊
I don’t think that’s the story behind the black star dragon balls. If I remember correctly they were black because they were used so much and since the 7 balls were meant to take a live time to find and assemble the evil that they gathered would have time to dissipate but since bulma created the radar and finding the balls was something that could be done in a afternoon the evil built up until they were completely corrupted and the last wish released the evil dragons within the balls one of which was omega ya da ya da ya da. At least that’s what I remember but I’ll be honest it’s been almost 17 years since if actually watched DBZ/ GT or anything dragonball and I never really watched GT so I’m a bad source lol
Shhhh shhhh the DragonBall Community doesn't talk about that atrocity 😂😂
I think the red dragon looks cool.
The answer can be short as this: the red shenron came from differents dragon ball, that's why he is red
So he didn't know his name but he knew what Namek was?
No he didn't know namek, he discovered that he is an alien later in life, theoretically when he was training to split himself.
The conclusion that he was namekian was made by POPO, bulma and king kai if i do remember well.
Imagine if the Nameless Namekian was never defused though, we probably could have gotten Ultimate Shenron instead of Regular Shenron in the og series.
What's the name of the background music?
Far as I remember Kami had to remove the evil in him before he could become the Guardian of the Earth, After doing that and making Piccolo he was allowed to become Guardian of the Earth.
