An interesting hypothesis on Nameks. My friend and I was talking about them and
I came to the conclusion that they are possibly a plant-based lifeform. Thanks
to Greg Sasaki for this.
Consider this:
|-- Survival: They only need water to survive. Some plants need nothing more than
water and sunshine to survive. I never saw what could happen to a Namek if he
were to go a long time without sunlight (about a week's worth). Also, they have
greenish blood. This could mean that their cells are photosynthesis-based.
|-- Appearance: If one thinks about it, the arms and legs of a Nameck look very
much like plant fibers.
|-- No gender: Plants are asexual (or could be considered as such) and reproduce
via seeds. Which brings me to...
|-- The Namek eggs: Some plants (Ex: lima beans) produce seeds that when looked
at from a cross-section, are very much like eggs. The seed has a temporary food
source for the sprout (a solid yolk of sorts), a skin (i.e. soft shell), and the
small newborn plant.
|-- Regeneration: It has been noted that trees can survive acts of dismemberment
that would kill a human being, as well as are capable of regenerating limbs. Nameks
can do this process really fast and on a conscious level. This appears to be also
tied with their reproductive function, as they seem to be able to produce eggs
at will.
|-- Growth & Ageing: Nameks are extremely long lived. Some of Earth's trees are
hundreds of years old. This could also explain why the Elder (Guru) was so huge
(think: giant redwood).
Enough about Nameks now something about Saiyans.
A Fact:
It has been stated that a Saiyan can live in excess of 1000 years. I don't know
about that, but they seem to be a very long-lived race. Vegeta also makes the
comment that after a Saiyan matures, his hair stops growing, remaining in same
way for the rest of the Saiyan's life. COOL HUH?
SSJ Gohan special case:
Gohan is a special case as far as the SSJ stages go. He is quite capable of achieving
SSJ-1, but never seems to reach the overly muscled SSJ-2 stage. However, before
destroying Perfect Cell in the Cell Saga, he does assume the long spiky-haired
look of someone who has reached Stage 2. It is likely that Gohan (and others)
can assume a transitional Stage (Stage 2.5?) between 2 and 3 that reduces the
muscle mass back down and doesn't cause agility problems. It is also possible
that Goku, Vegeta and Trunks didn't quite reach Stage 2 properly, hence the overly
increased muscle mass.
