Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fans of Dragon Ball are very familiar with Goku's origin, having been sent off from Planet Vegeta as a baby in a spacecraft not long before the planet was destroyed by Frieza. However, there's another major Dragon Ball character, or perhaps more accurately pair of characters, who have a shockingly similar origin.
However, it's their progenitor, known only as the Nameless Namekian, who explains exactly how these two managed to be living their lives on Earth, and his origins are a little too close to Goku's for comfort. From there, the Nameless Namekian became the guardian of Earth, and split into his good half, Kami, and his evil half, King Piccolo, who would give birth to the Piccolo fans know and love today. As split beings, Kami and Piccolo forgot about their true origins, and were unaware that there might still be other Namekians out there somewhere in the universe.
Unfortunately, the story never really draws any kind of comparison between Goku and Kami/Piccolo, despite this shared origin, suggesting it's more of a coincidence than it was some kind of deliberate thematic element. The Nameless Namekian's origin is far more obscure than Goku's, so many fans have likely never even noticed the similarities between Piccolo and Goku's stories.
