[SSJ2]

Was warrior specifically said? I know he told Vegeta and Napa that his specialty was combat..

 

[Papasmurf]

Dende called him a warrior type on Namek

The father is probably a corrupted Dragon Clan type, and probably too weak and gay to make Dragon Balls

Or he could be a warrior type like his son if you ignore the Daizenshuu entries

 

[GreatSaiyaman123]

Dende called him a warrior type after healing him.

Piccolo Sr is a Dragon Type, considering his other half (Kami) also is one.

 

[GreatSaiyaman123]

What the fuck is up with Vegeta's aura here? He looks like a SSJ until he takes the senzu.

 

[ahill1]

He seems a simple SSJ before taking the Senzu bean, and then he already has the SSJ2-sparks and aura upon swallowing it, so I am gonna assume he merely powered down upon knocking Goku down.


BTW, can you guys tell me more about this Dragon-type and Warriors-type Namekians? What about those 3000 BPs guys Dodoria took out at the beginning of the saga? What were they?

 

[Evil Vegeta]

Looks the opposite to me. His aura regained the bolts after he ate the senzu.

Either way, it's just an inconsistency in the art.

The young Namekians were warrior types since they were tasked to protect the villages. The regular Namekians are Dragon Clan. Kami and Dende were Dragon Clan prodigies.

I think it might be looked upon as Vegeta merely powered down, no? He seemed considerably tired and damaged after fighting Goku, to the point Goku's energy (who was as damaged as him) was enough to quickly fill Boo's meter up to 100%... so upon seeing Goku is already out cold, I think it makes sense for him to power down to a form that takes less effort to be kept, and then just power up to SSJ2 after regaining his strength with the Senzu.

Do you think Piccolo Daimao (the original one) was from the Dragon-clan, or simply a warrior like Piccolo Junior?

That was typo tbh.

Definitely dragon. He's just an evil version of Kami, who's also a dragon type.

 

[Papasmurf]

It's worth noting that Vegeta's aura when he recovers from the Senzu is a lot like Gohan's aura when he first went SSJ2:

My guess is that it was to show a gradual rise back to full power rather than an instant one.

Which looks like a regular SSJ aura. I think the Full Color Manga will have them with the yellow aura, at least.

 

[GreatSaiyaman123]

Kenshi Vegeta's aura doesn't look like Gohan's at all. Vegeta's doesn't have the black outline.

Because it's a small panel with less detail, plus the Boo arc's auras often look less detailed than Cell arc auras:

Spoiler

The boo arc aura looks almost similar to Gohan's SSJ1 aura in the CG

Just AT getting lazy with detail really.

 

[Evil Vegeta]

I think Daimao was probably a warrior type since Piccolo is the reincarnation of him, though Kami did say he was originally a "brilliant martial artist" before splitting. It's possible that Daimao was a Dragon Clan type that retained the fighting ability the child of Katatz possessed before releasing the evil. He was a prodigy that was also naturally powerful, so you can go either way with Daimao.

But like CC said, Gohan was still likely in the process of becoming a SSJ2 there, considering Gohan's hair doesn't even look like his SSJ2 there. In the next panel, Gohan was already sharing all the traits of the SSJ2 transformation:

Granted that there are single panels of Akira Toriyama not detailing the art as a SSJ2-like one in the Boo saga (as there`s in the CGs as well), but I don`t see the example brought up by Saiyaman as one of those cases, as I think Vegeta powering down into a SSJ there and then becoming a SSJ2 again after his energy had been restored makes sense. He still had his SSJ2 aura-like and sparks on moments before hitting Goku from behind and then in the next panel he is already sharing the traits of the SSJ1 transformation.

Well, at least according to the Daizenshuu, laying eggs is a speciality of the Dragon clan type.
