Nine mystical orbs forged to imprison the Cruel Dragon. Ancient warriors split the beast's essence among the stones and hid them in scattered shrines, leaving a knightly order to guard the seals against a cult determined to revive the monster.
The sealing orbs are a set of nine containers created to lock away the Cruel Dragon. Long ago, soldiers divided the creature's essence into the nine stones and enshrined them across separate regions to keep the threat dormant.
Each orb holds a fragment of the dragon's power, and together they maintain the imprisonment. The appearance of a magic circle when the beast was finally released suggests that sorcery underpinned the original sealing. Destroying the orbs undoes the binding and calls the Cruel Dragon back into the world.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
