Why is Kami older than Piccolo?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Kami being older than Piccolo can be attributed to their origins and the events that led to their separation. To understand why Kami is older, we need to delve into their shared history.

Once upon a time, there existed a single being known as the Nameless Namekian. This Namekian was a powerful and wise being, but he became corrupted by evil. In order to rid himself of this evil, he used a technique to separate his good and evil halves, resulting in the creation of Kami and King Piccolo.

Kami, representing the Namekian’s good side, took on the responsibility of becoming the guardian of Earth. He dedicated himself to maintaining peace and protecting humanity from threats. In contrast, King Piccolo embodied the Namekian’s evil nature, seeking power and dominance over Earth.

As the years passed, Kami aged naturally while fulfilling his role as Earth’s guardian. His wisdom grew, and he accumulated knowledge and experience, making him older than Piccolo in terms of physical and mental development. This aging process was a natural consequence of his existence as a separate entity from the Nameless Namekian.

On the other hand, King Piccolo sought immortality and eternal youth to further his reign of terror. He desired to conquer the world and establish his dominance, which led him to use the Dragon Balls to wish for youth. By doing so, King Piccolo rejuvenated himself, regaining his youthful appearance and strength.

However, it’s important to note that the Dragon Balls can only grant wishes within the power of their creator, Kami. Since Kami had the ability to make himself younger and stronger, the Dragon Balls fulfilled King Piccolo’s wish. But this wish did not affect Kami himself, as he had chosen to age naturally and accept the passage of time.

In essence, Kami’s decision to age naturally and embrace his role as Earth’s guardian made him older than Piccolo. His dedication to his responsibilities and the wisdom gained through experience set him apart from his evil counterpart.

To summarize:
– Kami is older than Piccolo due to their separation from the Nameless Namekian.
– Kami aged naturally while fulfilling his role as Earth’s guardian, accumulating wisdom and experience.
– King Piccolo, on the other hand, sought eternal youth and used the Dragon Balls to wish for it.
– The Dragon Balls granted King Piccolo’s wish within the power of their creator, Kami.
– Kami’s decision to age naturally and embrace his responsibilities as Earth’s guardian made him older than Piccolo.
