Well, the Wish restored King Piccolo to his full strength.
The nameless Namekian on the other hand, well, that would come later.
One Strip! One Strip!I dunno why I still think this is funny.
I also dunno what they're saying.
What if Yamcha saved the world?

I can't tell you what they're saying, but I can tell you what 16 is thinking.
"I'mma rape ya, bitch."
(PS: What are the chances of someone stumbling upon this, forgetting to read the entire rest of the conversation or even the rest of the post, just assume it's a threat of rape, report it to a mod who will do the same and then ban me?)

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariAnd then that scan had to remind me that the Goku who defeated Neko Majin was from time skip, which could mean Neko Majin actually is stronger than Goku at this point in time. Luckily Neko Majin Z being out of continuity means I'm still right, overall...unless some time travel/12 universal shenanigans end up putting it in continuity...
I don't get what the problem with Piccolo and Kami being so much weaker than the nameless Namek is. Piccolo and Nail showed that Namek Fusion works on a multiplier, rather than simple addition. Would it be that strange then that Namek fission works on a divider rather than subtraction? And Dende says Namekjin learned that stuff from the metamorphjin, and we already know how powerful the fusion dance, another Metamorph technique, is.
Buldogue's lawyerI don't think the nameless namekian was that strong before splitting though. Let's say it was nine thousand and then split into two guys both around three hundred. Then the Piccolo half gets to, say, ten million, fuses back and then gets that 300x multiplier, which lets him stand up to imperfect Cell.
Thing is, it was said that the Nameless Namekian would've been able to defeat Freeza, IIRC... Though granted, at that point nobody knew how horrendously strong Freeza truly was, though Guru does seem to be able to be able to sense hidden potential, so maybe he would be able to tell how strong Freeza truly is even when he's transformed...
Whatever. Even if it's just weakest-form Freeza, that's still a powerlevel of 530,000, which means that the Nameless Namekian had a power drop of 529,500~ when he split, at the very least.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Okay, so I poked around the manga and the Great Elder explicitly states that the Nameless Namekian's power was split in half. He also says that he might not have died to Nappa if he hadn't split. He makes no mention of the Nameless Namekian being able to defeat Freeza that I can see.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I never did say that Guru said that - I said that Guru might be able to provide an accurate assesment.
Anyway... if it was a statement made more in that vein, yeah, I can totally see it, if it's applying to Piccolo's much superior powerlevel during the Namek Saga.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI keep wondering; if there's so much wrong with this series, and there really is, why do we love it so much anyway?

Especially when it's from Toei's better animators, like Natoshi Shiida or Kazuhiro Ota

I know, that was the purpose of restoring his youth.
I'm just guessing on the reason why the Nameless Namekian went from "Stronger than Freeza" to "roughly a quarter of a saibaman. Maybe even a fifth", and the wish restoring his youth, but not his real power, could be it.
As to why he doesn't react like he isn't back at full strength...
Well, maybe he just doesn't remember how strong he actually was? I mean, I very much doubt that there'd ever been anything that came anywhere near close to providing a decent challenge where he'd have had to push himself...
Either way, it doesn't really matter. We can just run with the separation cutting their power to a small fraction, well below even 0.1%... Ludicrous as it sounds, it's not like I'm not pulling my own theory out of my ass anyway.
