Some time ago I asked this. [Potara fusion
limit](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/32320/can-the-kai-
earingspotara-earings-be-used-again-and-again-to-keep-fusing-indiv)

In DBZ, we see Picollo fuse with Nail and exponentially increased his power.
Then again he fused with Kami to further enhance this.

Was only Picollo/Kami able to do this type of fusion? I mean if you're on the
verge of Genocide, you'd think some of the warriors may try fusing.

So was this due to knowledge (Nail new from the old Namek, Kami cos he divided
his body) or physical limit of Namekians.

Associated, how many times could this be done?

question
dragon-ball-z dragon-ball-series
Was Picollo/Kami a special case of Namekian Fusion or this could be done by anyone?


**Was Picollo/Kami a special case?**

No, Picollo didn't even know about the fusion and it was Nail who informed him
how it works. That means it's limited to Namekians race and any two Namekian
can do it.

**How many times could this be done?**

Nobody knows it happen twice in anime series and it's still running, so future
might tell.

From [dragonball.wikia.com](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Namekian_Fusion)

Ankit is actually incorrect about this. The fusion between Kami and Piccolo
was indeed special. Nail clarifies that Namekian fusion is only possible
between two Warrior Namekians when he says he's the only Warrior Namekian on
Namek apart from Piccolo.

Kami is of the Dragon Scion Namekians, the ones that can creat dragon balls
and are generally weaker than their warrior type counterparts. The fusion
between Kami and Piccolo is a special one because they were originally one
Namekian. Thus allowing them to fuse.

The normal Namekian fusion can be done for as many Warrior Namekians there
are. But the manga establishes that Nail was the only Warrior type on Namek.
Probably because Guru worried about the preservation of his race so he mostly
made Dragon types as they are the only type that can produce eggs.

Funnily enough the guidebooks go against the manga as there is more Warrior
types than just Nail.

List of references:

>  Great Elder: “Nail won’t be as easy to defeat as you imagine…He’s the only

>  Nail: “I-I’m astonished…I don’t know what kind of training you’ve done, but

>  Piccolo: “Are you saying that if I merged with God once again, my power

>  Nail: “Th-that’s right…I was overwhelmingly defeated by Freeza, but I

>  Piccolo: “…You’re not lying, are you?”  
>  Nail: “If you think so, you can just go get killed by Freeza…”

Incidentally the three "warriors" that attacked Freeza when he reached Guru's
house was filler.
