5 Ways Dragon Ball DAIMA Could Rewrite Dragon Ball Super Forever

by

2024’s Dragon Ball DAIMA refreshed the franchise by delving playfully into the Demon Realm. This storyline takes place following Kid Buu’s downfall, before Dragon Ball Super. However, Dragon Ball DAIMA deviated from tradition with some daring moves, focusing more on grandeur and fan enjoyment rather than adhering strictly to the continuity and canon of Dragon Ball Super.

In contrast to where Dragon Ball Super picks up after DAIMA, the manga by Toyotarou manages to align with Akira Toriyama’s last work within the Dragon Ball universe. It’s not necessary for Dragon Ball DAIMA and its captivating characters from the Demon Realm to coexist in isolation. There are numerous possibilities whereby Dragon Ball Super could join these threads together, enhancing both series significantly.

In the Dragon Ball franchise, Dragon Ball GT is often met with debate, yet nearly everyone appreciates it. For years, fans have yearned for a canon Super Saiyan 4 untainted by Dragon Ball GT’s legacy. It’s gratifying that Dragon Ball DAIMA has finally fulfilled this desire. Goku unlocks the Super Saiyan 4 during battles with Gomah, first as a child and later as an adult. Initially, Neva unleashes the form for Mini Goku; however, it is later revealed that Goku had actually achieved SSJ4 by himself following the defeat of Kid Buu.

It’s significant that Dragon Ball DAIMA emphasizes that Super Saiyan 4 Goku is not related to the Demon Realm, suggesting there’s a chance we might see this form again in Dragon Ball Super. As Dragon Ball Super has been exploring unique transformations for various characters such as True Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Beast Gohan, Orange Piccolo, and even Black Frieza’s transformation, it seems plausible that Goku could use Super Saiyan 4 again.

Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta & Super Saiyan 4 Goku Need to Be Addressed in Dragon Ball Super

Essentially, there’s been a longstanding desire among fans to witness the battles between Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, especially against Tamagami Number Two. Given their epic past encounters, it seems only fitting that we delve deeper into these transformations in the future episodes of Dragon Ball Super.

Fans have been quite open in expressing their pleasure with this event, making it seem unnecessary for using this content would feel insincere towards the fans. On the contrary, they might appreciate the links being clarified and Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, or Ultra Vegeta 1, becoming a frequent option for Vegeta. Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta deserves more than just a brief appearance in Dragon Ball DAIMA and recent updates to the Dragon Ball game rosters, suggesting a longer tenure.

The enigmatic Demon Realm has been hinted at since the early days of “Dragon Ball”, and games such as “Dragon Ball Xenoverse” and “Dragon Ball Heroes” have given it more complexity. However, in “Dragon Ball DAIMA”, the Demon Realm is reimagined as a multi-layered universe split into three distinct realms. Though Goku and his companions explore all three demon worlds while pursuing Dragon Balls, “Dragon Ball DAIMA” seems to only touch upon the surface of the Demon Realm’s vast potential.

Furthermore, the transformation of this realm becomes even more intriguing with benevolent Majin Kuu as the new Demon King. The Demon Realm, a world that’s been captivating in Dragon Ball for quite some time now, is simply too fascinating to leave behind. There are numerous concepts tied to the Demon Realm that remain unexplored, such as the varied Medi Bugs and their potential integration with Capsule Corp technology. It wouldn’t be surprising if Bulma found a way to refine these rudimentary beings using her genius inventions.

Majin Kuu Set Up His Return at the End of Dragon Ball DAIMA

In the possible anticipation of Dragon Ball Super ‘s next move, the Demon Realm might serve as an ideal haven where the heroes can reunite and fortify themselves. Remember, Majin Kuu pledged aid if the heroes ever required assistance. The Demon Realm is a captivating cosmos, but Dragon Ball DAIMA further enriches it with compelling characters that deserve further limelight. Characters like Glorio, Panzy, Dr. Arinsu, and Neva are truly exceptional individuals, whose stories will only grow more intriguing as they’re delved into deeper. Glorio could prove a valuable ally in the impending battle against Black Frieza or perhaps even future Tournaments of Power.

Neva has another option to significantly amplify his power – by merging with Piccolo or Dende. This fusion would allow him to pass on his extensive knowledge and unique Namekian abilities to Piccolo, making him stronger, and boosting Dende’s Dragon Ball skills. Even if they don’t fuse, Neva could still be present to aid in the development of less powerful characters. Furthermore, many fans are eager to see more of certain characters from Dragon Ball Super, such as Piccolo, and also the non-canon crew from the Demon Realm, like Towa, Mira, Mechikabura, and Fu – some of whom were created by Akira Toriyama himself.

In contrast to previous Demon Kings such as Dabura and Abura, Gomah lacks significant physical strength. As a result, he’s accustomed to delegating difficult tasks to stronger characters. However, when Gomah obtains the formidable relic known as the Evil Third Eye, he gains the independence to take charge and control situations himself. This artifact transforms Gomah into an impressive final antagonist for Dragon Ball DAIMA , and his power surge is nothing short of astonishing.

As Gomah’s strength intensifies and he manages to survive lethal injuries unless defeated in a particular way, his transformation is both terrifying and a testament to resilience. The destructive artifact is eliminated after Gomah’s defeat; however, the finale of Dragon Ball DAIMA features an amusing post-credit sequence where Goku, Bulma, and Panzy discover a trove of Evil Third Eyes. This humorous scene serves as comic relief, but it also hints at potential perils if any of these Evil Third Eyes made their way back to Earth with them.

Dragon Ball Super Can Do A Lot of Damage By Bringing The Third Eye Back

In a fictional context, the ominous “Evil Third Eye” serves as a method for demons to amass catastrophic power. However, this concept could be reimagined as a game-changing opportunity for underutilized supporting characters in the Dragon Ball universe. Fans have speculated about the possibility of certain characters like Yamcha or Chiaotzu benefiting from this transformation, given that some characters already possess third eyes. Notably, Tien Shinhan, who has a prominent third eye, is already a candidate for such a transformation. In the Dragon Ball DAIMA series, there’s been an established mechanism to counteract the Third Eye transformation if the character should ever lose self-control.

This measure minimizes the risk associated with this upgrade and it’s definitely worth considering as a potential means to revitalize previously undervalued Dragon Ball characters. At the very least, the Evil Third Eye could potentially transform Monaka and Mr. Satan into significant threats. However, it should be noted that the Evil Third Eye might seem excessive in its application. Nonetheless, a grand finale against a swarm of villains involving numerous Evil Third Eye-empowered allies would undeniably create an electrifying conclusion.

In “Dragon Ball Super,” Good Buu is a formidable adversary who consistently challenges Goku beyond his limits. Despite being a significant threat, Mr. Satan makes an argument for keeping Good Buu around. Given his immense power, the series often struggles to fully utilize him as he could easily outmatch any competition. Consequently, “Dragon Ball Super” frequently invents reasons for why Buu cannot engage in battles, or else he would dominate everyone. As a result, the show has found it challenging to create meaningful roles for Good Buu and he often seems underdeveloped or overlooked.

In the series Dragon Ball DAIMA, two characters named Kuu and Duu are revealed to be genetic offspring of Buu. Both characters leave a significant impact on the show, and it would be intriguing to explore their interactions with Buu further. Interestingly, Kuu holds immense respect for Duu and perceives him as an older sibling. It’s possible that this dynamic could extend to both creations of Dr. Arinsu viewing Buu as a father figure. A story arc focusing on these three Majin working together to enhance their powers could provide Majin Buu with a new sense of direction in Dragon Ball Super. Moreover, it might be compelling to depict the Demon Realm as Buu’s vacation retreat and a place for him to protect.

Majin Buu, Kuu, & Duu Need to Meet & Interact

It would be a blast having a team of Majin Buu (Duu), Majin Buu (Kuu), and regular Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Super! However, it’s worth noting that although Dragon Ball DAIMA didn’t delve into certain aspects of these characters, one intriguing trait of Majin Buu from Dragon Ball Z is his ability to grow stronger and evolve by consuming or absorbing others. For instance, the absorption of Good Buu by Evil Buu led to the creation of Super Buu. Given that Kuu and Duu are offshoots of Majin Buu, it’s possible that they could also trigger a similar transformation, or perhaps the opposite way around as well.

In another scenario, Buu could grow even more powerful by consuming these two characters, Duu and Kuu. It may seem unfortunate for them to serve as fuel for Buu, but it’s insignificant if their return in Dragon Ball Super was never planned initially. At least this provides a purpose for them within the context of Dragon Ball Super’s final arc. Additionally, there’s potential for Buu to absorb and learn from Great Witch Marba, which could help him become stronger or gain new magical abilities. The insights about the Majin race and Marba’s role in creating Buu in Dragon Ball DAIMA are intriguing and worth exploring further, as they deviate from the traditional Dragon Ball narrative.

In my observation, certain beings from the multiverse and Supreme Kai appear to have origins in the Demon Realm. The anime series “Dragon Ball DAIMA” even suggests that anyone with pointed ears throughout the series might be a Demon. An intriguing notion is that a Saiyan’s Great Ape form could represent their connection with a demonic aspect within themselves, potentially leading Saiyans towards a more demonic path. There’s a sense of deep respect as Piccolo delves into the Second Demon World alongside Neva, and Shin enlightens Goku and his companions about the Glind’s history.

While these advancements are gratifying, there’s still room for more exploration, particularly since the Demon Realm may not be revisited in the future. It’s crucial that Piccolo and Shin’s significant roles aren’t brushed aside during these revelations about the Demon Realm. Instead, their experiences in the Demon Realm should shape them permanently, influencing their future actions. In retrospect, it would have been logical if the events in the Demon Realm were linked to Dragon Ball Super‘s recent and seemingly unpredictable transformations of Orange Piccolo and Gohan into Beasts. This connection could provide a compelling narrative thread moving forward.

Dragon Ball Super’s Newest Transformations Are Especially Demonic

In Dragon Ball DAIMA, there’s no direct linkage established between events, which is a pity as it seems to mirror Piccolo’s power-up by Sherron when Neva grants Goku an unanticipated energy boost. However, DAIMA doesn’t explicitly tie these threads together, leaving room for Dragon Ball Super to flesh out these connections in future installments. If linked correctly, these concepts could enhance the progression of these transformations in an intriguing way.

In future instalments, it’s possible we might see enhanced characters displaying more and more sinister characteristics, which could necessitate a journey to the Netherworld for a deeper understanding and management of these traits. A storyline where Piccolo and Gohan undergo training in the Netherworld, guided by Neva, would delight fans who felt disappointed by Piccolo’s reduced importance in Dragon Ball DAIMA and Gohan’s absence in the anime. If Dragon Ball Super chooses not to explore these concepts from Dragon Ball DAIMA, it may be missing an opportunity to enrich its own narrative future.
