Hello, I’m KENTA, a Japanese manga enthusiast! One of the most exciting aspects of Dragon Ball is the intense battles against increasingly powerful foes. However, with each new formidable character, past characters often find themselves overshadowed. In this article, we’ll shine a spotlight on those talented characters who were swallowed by the wave of inflation and couldn’t fully demonstrate their true abilities. We’ll examine how they fell victim to this inflation and explore what their true potential might have been. The First Victim: The Warrior of Namek, Nail First up is Nail, the warrior of Namek. Appearing during the Namek Saga, he was the strongest among the warrior-type Namekians and served as the bodyguard to Grand Elder Guru. His power level was measured at 42,000, far surpassing that of Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga. This number suggests that he could have fought on par with the likes of Recoome or even members of the Ginyu Force. However, in the main story, his role was reduced to nothing more than buying time against Frieza’s first form. Nail inflicted no damage on Frieza, was severely injured in the battle, and ultimately fused with Piccolo, ending his journey. Had he shown his full strength earlier, he might have helped alleviate the sense of despair during the battle with the Ginyu Force.
