Namekian biology makes no goddamn sense since picollo was nearly killed by a finger sized hole in his body but he can regenerate 90% of his body?

King piccolo died from a hole in his chest. Maybe They just have a weak point in their chest area!

I'm almost positive the whole "Namekians can regenerate from their heads" thing is a retcon brought upon by the reason any plot hole in DB happens: Toriyama Forgot.

Right along him eating all the time in Super even to the point where ChiChi makes him do chores to pay for the food he's eating when he specifically used to point out he only needs to drink water.

Shocked I tell you
The head is the necessary regen Organ. But they can get killed if hurt badly enough and can't focus their energy to regenerate.

The Combo of Freeza's more or less indestructibility and ability to survive in pretty much any state, along with Piccolo's regeneration was why Cell's regeneration was a problem.

You could probably explain that by Gohan always inviting his dad over for dinner so he got used to eating food. And I thought Piccoyo helps Chi-Chi do chores as a favor to Gohan/to help her buy things for their granddaughter.

Dad Piccolo is an inspiration for us all

Also I dig Namekians and their weird inconsistent biology, since they're basically space demon wizard slugs with wish magiks and hosed up fight techs, and it's kind of a crime they're passed over so much

Wait, where in Super has Piccolo ate food? I remember one of the ending credits showing Piccolo with a glass of juice, that was it. I know Namekian biology is that they only need to drink water according to Dende.

King Piccolo ate, or at least it was implied that he did. Piano (little minion with pterodactyl head) forced people to cook a huge feast for him when he took over the palace. We never see him actually eating, though.

I wonder if evil Namekians eat but the good ones don't? It would make sense for the good Namekians to eschew food as part of some pacifist vaguely Buddhist-esque choice to abstain from worldly pleasures while the evil Namekians are all about chowing down on decadent sumptuous feasts.

Nah, forcing locals to use up all their food in a massive banquet that you devour alone even thought you don't even need food is like, perfectly evil.

It was in the latest dub ep, where they're going to the Universe 6 tournament. Chichi starts cooking and they show Piccolo holding a plate of food and chopsticks.

I'm pretty sure the deal with Namekians and food is supposed to be that they CAN eat but can survive with just water if they choose. Since Namekian society is really chill and probably not too big on unnecessary waste, people on Namek probably subsist on only water by default for that reason.

Namek didn't seem to have good food potential, anyway. Unless nebulously canon giant crabs taste any good.

It's probably like Superman. Guy doesn't need to eat, but he can, and he sure loves Ma Kent's...I dunno...what do white people eat, meatloaf?
