He also tends to abuse the powers of the Dragon Balls for his own gain, such as wishing for a plasma screen television or a postal service.

His long-suffering bodyguard Nail is the unfortunate main target for much of this unpleasantness, as he is regularly made to do stupid and pointless tasks such as fighting birds or cleaning Guru's jowls. He is nowhere as loving or caring as his original counterpart, and most of his children do not love him either because of his unpleasant attitude.

He is a surly, vain, greedy, racist, misanthropic and domineering old man who constantly abuses his power. Guru is portrayed as the opposite of his original counterpart. He is well-loved by his own people, and as he died again for good, all were greatly saddened by his passing. Guru is considered to be very wise, and has a kind and caring personality, to the point of dying from the sadness of losing his children. He passes his title of Grand Elder and ownership of the Dragon Balls on to the Namekian Moori, before peacefully passing away. He eventually dies from a broken heart after Freeza kills the rest of the Namekians, but is revived by the Earth Dragon Balls. He helps out the Z-fighters in their battle against Freeza and his men by unlocking their hidden fighting power. By the time Freeza and the Z-fighters arrive on Namek, Guru is very old and near death. He single handedly repopulated the planet through the Namekian ability to asexually reproduce through eggs. Guru (called simply 'Grand Elder' in the original Japanese version) is the only survivor of a cataclysmic event in Planet Namek's past.
