Appearance

Pilina is a towering and heavily muscular Namekian, reminiscent of Lord Slug in build. He stands significantly taller than his teammate Saonel. His skin is a deep pine green, distinct from the lighter green of Universe 7's Namekians. Pilina's attire includes a long, dark brown vest, a beige sash tied around his waist, black shorts, white gloves, and brown boots.

Personality

In the anime, Pilina exhibits a willingness to employ underhanded tactics, much like his teammate Saonel, as seen when the two attempt to ambush a weakened Goku. Despite such tactics, Pilina demonstrates determination and resolve, remaining steadfast even after the elimination of their strongest allies, Hit and Kefla (the fusion of Caulifla and Kale). Pilina expresses a deep sense of responsibility and commitment, acknowledging the gravity of their actions in fusing with other Namekians to ensure their survival and victory.

Biography

Dragon Ball Super

Universe Survival Saga

Upon learning of the Tournament of Power and the stakes involved, Champa and Vados sought to bolster Universe 6's chances by recruiting Namekians from their version of Planet Namek. Many Namekians chose to merge their essence with Pilina and Saonel, creating two immensely powerful warriors to represent their planet.

During the battle between Jiren and Goku's Universe 7 Spirit Bomb, Pilina was engaged in combat with Catopesra while Saonel faced Biarra. Later, the pair attempted to exploit Goku's weakened state with a surprise attack, but their efforts were thwarted by Piccolo and Gohan, who challenged them to a fair fight. Pilina faced off against Gohan, proving himself a tough adversary even against Gohan's base form. He also saved Saonel by intercepting a ki blast from Piccolo that was on the verge of eliminating his partner.

When Kefla unleashed a barrage of energy during her rampage, Pilina and Saonel momentarily retreated to avoid her stray attacks. After regrouping and reaffirming their determination to Champa, the duo resumed their battle with Gohan and Piccolo. Pilina confirmed Piccolo's suspicions that their newfound strength was the result of merging with the other Namekians of Universe 6. Despite their power, Pilina and Saonel were ultimately outmatched and eliminated by Gohan and Piccolo. Following their defeat, they were pursued by an irate Caulifla, who had promised to punish them if they lost, before being erased along with the rest of Universe 6 by the Omni-Kings.

Pilina was later resurrected along with his universe when Android 17 used the Super Dragon Balls to restore all erased universes.

Attacks and Techniques

Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy attack, utilizing ki energy.

Mouth Energy Wave - An energy wave fired from Pilina's mouth, capable of homing in on the opponent. This technique is exclusive to the anime. In Dokkan Battle, Pilina is depicted charging this attack on his non-playable character card.

Namekian Combo - A coordinated team attack performed alongside Saonel. They rush the opponent with a series of attacks; Saonel finishes with his Energy Blade to knock the target to the ground, allowing Pilina to deliver the finishing blow with his Mouth Energy Wave. This is featured as their Super Attack in Dokkan Battle.

Continuous Energy Bullets - A series of rapid-fire energy waves significantly stronger than standard ki blasts. This technique is exclusive to the anime.

Demon Hand - As a Namekian, Pilina can stretch and elongate his arms and legs at will. He uses this ability strategically, such as restraining Piccolo during the Tournament of Power to allow Saonel to attack. However, Gohan interrupts by severing Pilina's arm, freeing Piccolo. This ability is exclusive to the anime.

Regeneration - Pilina's Namekian biology grants him exceptional healing capabilities, allowing him to regenerate lost limbs or damaged body parts almost instantly. For example, after Gohan's Knee Drop severs his arm, Pilina quickly regenerates it. The absorption of his fellow Namekians has enhanced his stamina and ki reserves to such an extent that his regeneration appears limitless. This ability is exclusive to the anime.

Magic Materialization - After regenerating a lost limb, Pilina can manifest a replacement glove on his new hand. This ability is exclusive to the anime.

Namekian Fusion - Like most Namekians, Pilina can fuse with others of his kind to significantly increase his power and abilities. This technique was employed when Pilina absorbed numerous Universe 6 Namekians before the Tournament of Power.

Trivia

• Pilina makes his debut as a playable character alongside Saonel in Dokkan Battle. He also appears as a solo enemy character in certain events.
• His name comes from pilina, a type of mollusk. He and Saonel, like all Namekians other than King Piccolo and his children, possess names based on mollusks.
