Dende

And Goku's losing energy as he's doing this.

So I would say shout out to Vegeta here, because he remembers Dende's a healer.

He's like, get your ass out here and heal Goku.

Yeah.

But then they realize they don't have enough energy to warp Dende to the battlefield.

Yeah, and

that's not good.

Yes.

Like I, I have a hard time believing an alien from the planet Namek in a different solar system's like, "No, no, no. We're gonna track our age by the amount of times Earth travels around their sun"

But then D- Dende fucking is the little baby Namek the entire time.

I don't know.

That one fucked me up yesterday

The caveat to this is that the dragon that does create Orange Piccolo wasn't created by Kami.

It was created by Dende.

So that means that, canonically, Dende must be stronger than all the Super Saiyans.

And we just never saw him fight.

And that would explain it.

Thinking too hard about anime, if you will.

Were there just some folks in the cities or villages who all of a sudden have no neighbors and don't know why? Who's the dragon to decide what's good or evil? Did Dende, as God of Earth, hear the people's despair or were some people still missing before the memory wipe wish was made? This gets worse when you consider superhero and red ribbon pharmaceuticals exist.

Knowing what we know about real world pharmaceutical companies, how do they exist to begin with? Is it because they didn't literally blow up cities like Seller Majin Buu? Does the dragon believe in necessary evil? Keep fighting, Master Researcher Nick.

Wow.

I think I got it.

I think because Dead Day made a new model, this Shenlong does not have the same cached memory as the previous one.

So Dende did a full firmware update that cleared the cache.

He used the same model, but different SIM card.

I can go beat him up now that he's a kid.

and Dende's like dude no you fucking can't somehow it seems like he's more powerful don't do that

hey you've got to believe in the king sometimes he's like I'm going to show him why I'm the champion of the world yeah oh he definitely shows Boo later

yes yeah so then Goku and Vegeta are trying to find a place to hide the gang And then they realize Boo's doing something.

So the group that is left, the only people still in existence.

Your party, folks.

Goku, Vegeta, Dende, Mr. Satan, and Bee.

Yep.

Yes.

Oh, there was a bit we skipped over where Dende and Mr.

Sane are still traveling, and Mr. Sane's like, how do you know where they're going? And he's like, well, I can sense them, sense their energy.

And Mr. Sane's like, what's energy feel like? Can I sense it too? And he's like, he's trying to sense what it feels like.

and hold up.

And also Piccolo can't do it because he's running an errand with Dende.

What could Dende possibly want?

They're going all the way to Namek.

He needs to get more Dragon Ball juice.

Also decide Mr.

Satan makes friends with Dende.

Yeah.

That's an odd pair.

Hey, you watch over our planet? Like, I guess.

He's like, well, I'm the world champion, Mr. Satan.

And Dende's like, Cool.

Sure.
