It also explores some elements of Dragon Ball Z that have never been touched upon before!
Major Moments In Dragon Ball Daima Episode 1
If you want to find out the coolest parts, get ready! This anime gives fans plenty to enjoy. Here are 10 highlights!
Dragon Ball Daima Timeline
One thing fans wanted to understand right away was where Dragon Ball Daima fits into the grand scheme of Dragon Ball. Fans had this quickly resolved right at the start. When it showed the characters, fans immediately learned just what timeframe it existed in. You see a party to celebrate Trunks's ninth birthday and there are moments showing other key events from the storyline!
Demon Realm Dragon Balls
This is a very important point. As some of the episodes started showing more of Akira Toriyama's world! These magical objects that grant wishes are central and this world brings some major surprises!
- The size and number of Dragon Balls is notably different in this world
- Wish magic brings fresh ideas about how wishes could work!
White And Black Wishes
In Dragon Ball Daima, viewers learn just what kind of "magic" is available. There's both "white" and "black" wishes! This is explained well through one of the biggest characters in the Demon Realm Gomah. It was never truly established but fans now know.
The Tamagamis
Get ready to meet new characters that look pretty impressive! Gomah was very much focused on getting wish granting power! However, a surprise comes his way from this group of mysterious guardians called "the three powerful Tamagamis!" These epic warriors are incredibly menacing! Their presence and imposing stature completely discourages Gomah and makes the series' opening that much more gripping.
However, Neva, the creator, does not seem too intimated, and you see their unique connection and that gives an extra thrill and something unexpected from these menacing guardians.
The Namekians' Role
It wasn't clear at first but then we got more into Dragon Ball Daima's universe. Viewers can now add one major point, and even start to appreciate even further, is the emergence of Neva, and even Dende! This adds so much intrigue! This might have gone unnoticed but was truly one of those memorable elements. It showed just what Dragon Ball Daima was going to offer to the audiences. You see how these different universes interact in interesting ways that Dragon Ball fans will really appreciate.
Gohan's Absence
Gohan was such a critical part of the story! That includes him growing as a powerful warrior. Now it appears that he's made the shift towards having less screen time in the latest saga. With an answer now being made available to why this happened!
Why Goku Is Young Again
The new Demon King, Gomah's impact really hit Goku and this whole universe! Gomah really throws things upside down by making a wish through the Shenron Dragon Balls to turn Goku and some other key players into children! The choice seemed really easy for the audience but actually made total sense. He was hoping this would be done harmlessly but also render Goku and company useless!
The Potara Fusion
What about this massive, dramatic element from the world? Well, it's been long debated just what exactly happened but there is some mystery there with the whole ordeal and separation.
Fans got a pretty solid reason in episode one of "Dragon Ball Daima." The answer that was used to clarify is now in and what may come as an additional surprise was it seems this separation had nothing to do with any battle magic! It was created from a gas!
Dabura and Gomah
A truly awesome addition comes from Dragon Ball Daima. Fans can now really know what happened! As viewers already know, Dabura's story takes a unique turn, ending as he loses his life at the hands of Majin Buu.
That makes Gomah, the new king!
Gomah's Allies
If you think Gomah is all by himself, there might be even bigger things at play than everyone realizes! In Dragon Ball Daima's first episode we get to see that he has some co-conspirators who may make him a bit nervous!
- Dr. Arinsu. She came from a surprise lineage that even gives Gomah a reason to be concerned and might even throw some surprises and complications! She also happens to be the sister of Degesu and their sibling Shin.
It seems this is an epic way to continue with this long-running, beloved anime series. Dragon Ball Daima really gets you thinking as to the universe's interconnectedness, it continues to showcase just how intense Akira Toriyama is and what it could potentially become for the future.
