Nion (ニオン, Nion) is a Saiyan scientist in the Frieza Force, serving on Planet Vegeta.

Appearance

Nion appears to be a young woman with traits most unusual to the Saiyan race: blue hair instead of black, and she does not appear to have a tail. Her attire is made up of a black armor. Underneath the armor she dons, she wears a black tight suit, a pair of white Frieza Force boots, and a white lab coat-like dress.

Personality

Unlike much of her fellow Saiyans, Nion is an astute and coolheaded scientist. Nion has an eye for talent, remarking on Broly's high battle-power and even theorizing that he could become the legendary Super Saiyan, which turned out to be true.

Trivia

• At a full body profile view, Nion doesn't appear to have a tail
• 10 different female Saiyans with Nion's appearance

1/2

• Nion's name likely comes from "onion".
  • Nion's name resembles the Earthling Nain, who shares Nion's occupation as a scientist. Additionally, both appear in films involving an incarnation of Broly as Nion appears briefly in Broly while Nain appears briefly in Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly.
• Nion has a Russian accent in the Funimation dub.
• Nion seems to lack a tail for some reason, though it is likely that she had her tail wrapped inside her clothing or she personally got it cut off herself (as she is a scientist and non-combatant, she'd have little use for the Great Ape transformation thus removing it wouldn't be too problematic).
• Nion is the third named full blooded female Universe 7 Saiyan, after Fasha and Gine. Like Gine is she is a non-combatant.
• Like Goku, who shares a similar appearance with other low-class Saiyans such as Turles, Nion appears to share a similar appearance with at least 9 of her fellow scientists.
  • This presumably supports Turles' explanation for the resemblance between him and Goku in the original Japanese version of Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might.
  • Nion herself is presumably a low class Saiyan given her occupation as a scientist which is generally a role for Saiyans of the lower class who lack aptitude for combat.
• Unlike most pure blood Saiyans who have black hair, Nion's hair seems to be blueish purple.
