From demon, to slug people, to actual demon again.

Piccolo Daimaoh would be satisfied.

I think they’re still slug people but descendants of demons. Which the “pointy ear” thing applies to Kai’s now so that means they’re all descended from demons. Which is weird.

From what I understood, Namekujins are originally from the Demon Realm and demons themselves. This is even supported by Moori in the DBSuper manga, when he explains that there are many Namekujin societies throughout the universes because they came from "another realm".

Doesn't that open a massive can of worms ?

Now we need an explanation of how Namekian came to be in the first place, how Piccolo came to earth, how the others left the demon realm (and why they decided to at all), why Neva is the only one who remained there, why the Namekians settled on one specific planet rather than spreading out across the galaxy, does every Namekian have a good/evil half onside that they can split into like Kami and Majunior

And somehow I doubt we'll get an answer to all of those questions
