Saonel (サオネル Saoneru) is a Namekian from Universe 6 and a member of Team Universe 6 in the Tournament of Power.

Appearance

U06 Saonel

Saonel's full appearance

Saonel is a very tall and well-muscled man. Seemingly customary for Universe 6 Namekians, his skin is pine green in color as opposed to the standard green of youthful Universe 7 Namekians. Overall, Saonel looks very similar to Piccolo, except with a smaller nose and somewhat broader jawline. His clothing is similar to Nail's, consisting of beige pants, dull brown boots, and a long flowing turquoise vest. His vest is secured by a yellow sash tied in a knot at his left hip.

Personality

In the anime, like his teammate Pirina, Saonel seems to be a dirty fighter at times, as shown when he and Pirina attempted to ambush an exhausted Goku.

Following the loss of both Hit and Kefla (Caulifla and Kale fused), Saonel still remained driven as ever to win the tournament despite he and Pirina being the only remaining fighters for Team Universe 6. He is shown to be respectful of other warriors as he openly congratulated and was impressed by Piccolo's strength.

Biography

Dragon Ball Super

Universe Survival Saga

Main article: Universe Survival Saga When news of the impending Tournament of Power and its horrific nature came, Champa and Vados decided to recruit Namekians of their own. In the anime, once Universe 6's Planet Namek were told of the situation, many Namekians decided to merge their beings into their two strongest warriors, which were Saonel and Pirina.

In the anime, during the struggle between Jiren and Goku's Universe 7's Spirit Bomb, Saonel was seen clashing with Viara, while standing next to Pirina, who was fighting Catopesra.

Later, Saonel and Pirina sneaked up behind a weakened Goku and attempted to launch a surprise attack on him, but the two were stopped by Piccolo and Gohan, who challenged them to a fair fight. Saonel had the edge against Piccolo, but Gohan intervened and Piccolo seized the opportunity to strike, blasting Saonel away. Pirina saved Saonel by breaking Piccolo's ki blast and the two pairs of fighters regrouped, ready to continue their battle.

Saonel 01

Saonel hit by Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon

He and Pirina were forced to retreat to avoid Kefla's blasts. However, after conferring with Champa, the two quickly re-engage Piccolo and Gohan. The two gain the upper hand when they finally adjust to their fusion with other Namekians of their universe. Eventually, after a brief struggle, Piccolo and Gohan were able to overpower Saonel and Pirina, and the two were knocked out of the arena. The two then run away from Caulifla, who promised to beat them up if they failed, before they, and the rest of their universe, are erased by the Onmi-Kings.

Saonel is later revived with his universe when Android 17 uses the Super Dragon Balls to resurrect all of the universes that were erased.
