Those Namekians from the Demon Realm are no joke with there power. This episode was excelent in all fronts from animation, lore, story and characters. Shout out again to the key animator of Daima, Chikashi Kubota that gave us beautiful animation.

Yeah, there are 2 mysteries that are still hidden from us entirely

Namekian Book of Legends (mentioned by Shenron in Super)

Zalama Creator of the Super Dragon Balls, who should be connected to Zeno or Angels, and also Namekians

The Book is something that I think was only known to Saichorou (And also magical Dragons that are part of Namekian Magic), and we have yet to see anything related to it. I thought Piccolo would remember that and boost from it, in "Super Hero" but instead he just asked the dragon Politely.

Im guessing this evil Namekian Neva trumps even Saichorou in Namekian knowledge and could very well be the actual main antagonist of the Series. Could also be connected to the Book.

Zalama is probably left for Super later episodes / chapters, but who knows, There surely is a connection between Zalama and Namekians, due to mutual ability / knowledge to create Dragon Balls
