DAIMA EP.20 (Spoiler)Review/theories(yes, still)

• So, I've been watching every episode 3 times each since this show started streaming, & I gotta say, aside from the fact I'll definitely be rewatching the whole show from time to time, I can't help but think about how this is probably the last dragon ball related project Akira Toriyama was in any way involved in. That unmistakable charm has clearly been very hard to replicate for Toei post Z. Plus, there's the odd coincidence of Daima ending a day before the anniversary of his passing. I think I'll cherish this show deeply.

• Good golly, there's so much to talk about! Man, the animators were going all out to top what we got in the Super Broly movie! (There was surprisingly less Naotoshi Shida than I expected)

• Goku was pulling out every combo he could think of. & flexing his booba. AND BLOWING A HOLE THROUGH A MAIN VILLAIN! This Super Saiyan 4 form was on that early Z movie Goku time. Ruthless. Also, no opening this time. But the song did play for the ED.

• I was wondering where King Gohma's scepter went...

• That brief underground fight between Goku & King Gohma looked like an even more colorful version of that trippy in-between dimensions place Gogeta & Broly fought in for a bit. Hope the put it in a game.

• Give it up to Masako Nozawa, she was probably either 86 or 87 while recording these episodes & still screaming like a BEAST.

• Cool that we saw a 2D version of the ring everyone was fighting in as Goku powered up before winding up his Kamehameha. So cool that it shot straight through the Demon Realm layers. The water pouring in was a nice touch. The afterglow on Goku's fingers was sick.

• While it's kind of a shame Piccolo did less than Glorio in this show, CLUTCH KING KUU, BABY!!! I was accidentally right to call him that before. Yay me.

• The way the Third Eye was destroyed was so ridiculous. (Affectionate) Classic Toriyama.

• Kitty mouth Piccolo!?

• I somehow feel worse for Degesu, if only for the fact that he has to live with a lout like Gohma. Being non-infanticidal & easy to laugh at aside, Gohma's scummy, petty & bratty.

• Almost had me with that Goku raising his hand bit. Hail King Kuu!! Wise beyond his years. (Bro's like, 2 days old)

• The return of the "Super Saiyan bargain sale" joke! Aaaand, no explanation as to why Goku doesn't use SSJ4 post Daima. Plus no name-drops for currently unnamed characters, but I'm sure the Kakarot dlc will fill in plenty of gaps. (That game loves it's flavor text & whatnot)

• Ultra Vegeta?! (Do they know...?)

• I loved the moment between Neva, Dende & Piccolo. Sounds like Neva won't be lonely anymore.

• Lmao, Panzy making Vegeta wave.

• I knew they were gonna do that "checking in on characters via special illustrations in the credits" thing. Chi-Chi's outfit is so cute! +How'd I not notice that before?) Plus Trunks & Goten got new rad outfits I'd love to see on their adult forms. Also, I guess the Tamagamis gotta go find their D balls themselves.

• Well, we never got to see the bug-fusion, but we got to see that pleasant medi-bug shopkeeper lady again. That Bulma but clashes with the bits from the Super Hero & Super Broly movies, but whatever. Also, holy extra frames, Batman! So smooth.

• Classic Toriyama joke. An all powerful, legendary item that had a massive impact on the very history of an entire realm, can be bought in a shop in the middle of NOWHERE. I love it.

• In conclusion, I love Daima with all my heart. I might delete these reviews a few months from now. No point in them taking up space on this blog, dead in the water.

• Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to reading the OG Dragon ball manga.

"Tackle life with as much energy as Goku! I'll try to do the same."

LOSING MY FREAKING MIND, VEGETA X BULMA FANS NUMBER 1 COUPLE IN THE DRAGON BALL UNIVERSE! IM DEAD

[alesshi]

He would never ask

[ozmaslocket]

Toriyama really said if there's one last thing I want the world to know about Vegeta

it's that he is down bad for Bulma

[saiyanmazen]

Vegeta sees Future Trunks die vs. Vegeta is told that he can't take any more baths with his wife.

[bubble-bobble]

wifey bath time 🛁

[finchbites]

Vegeta really values bath time with his wife

[amokslime]

This is my primary takeaway from Daima

[vegetadaily]

[deathberi]

BUT I THINK VEGETA-SAN WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET ANYONE ELSE TAKE OVER. *bath! with! wifey! >u<*

DAIMA EP 13 (Spoiler) Review/theories

• Ooh! Dis day gourmet animation.

• In this episode, Vegeta demonstrates his utter lack of respect for animals. (But why though?)

• Oh & another plane crash. The endgame is further away than I thought.

• It never occurred to me that the Warp-Sama could be shut down! Degesu seemed oddly distressed. Perhaps one of his secret plans hinged on traveling between worlds. (Or he could just be stressed about how everything's falling apart.) Dr Arinsu is currently unaware of the fact that she's basically been cut off from the other two D balls thanks to being called by Glorio, ironically enough. Will she finally attempt a sort of coup using Majins Duu & Kuu, or gaslight girl boss her way into getting King Gohma to reactivate Demon world 1's Warp-Sama?

• While "Majilite"(a fuel source that converts acidic water in up to 30 years of battery life) is not a direct parallel to "sky gold" from the Super manga, my mind just can't separate the two. And don't even get me started on "Blue No. 15 electro-fluid" that powers time machines.

• This episode will no doubt be compared (as nauseam) to episode 6 of GT. But the jungle area & vibes for the most part reminded me more of episode 4 of the 2011 Thundercats reboot, except as gorgeous as the Super Broly movie.

• It almost felt like Neva has a little history with Planet Mega. He did have thousands of years to explore the entirety of world 2. Since he didn't seem worried about the plane he was in potentially crashing, I think the reason he panicked when he realized the group had landed on "Planet of Mega" was because he was more worried that everyone else would perish, leaving his dragon balls in the hands of either King Gohma or Dr Arinsu. The wrong hands.

• Sure hope Piccolo gets his time to shine in the Final Battle™, at least.

• Bulma & Panzy finally get their bonding scene. With a little lore dump about Majilite, how it works, how it affects the sky of world 2 to a degree, how it's gatekept by King Gohma/world 1 to an extent & sort of implying that the Demon worlds are lined up vertically in a "3,2,1" order. (A conversation worth memorizing.)

• Planet of Mega was fun. Though, much like Planet Batapi from episode 3, we'll probably never explore Planet of Giga...

• I found the scene where World 1's Warp-Sama was disabled oddly heartbreaking. I hadn't realized I'd grown attached to them. And why the foreboding lighting strike in the background?

• So an adult Megath could probably beat Perfect Cell. Noted. Wonder what a Gigath toddler can do.

• Yo, why'd they make it look like Goku was going in for a smooch before taking one last look at the Megaths? I know I'm not tripping, that was on purpose. Lmao.

• Next episode looks exciting. Can't wait to meet that stripe faced, fast munching character.

• Also, that last song was so mystical and pretty. Again, 2011 Thundercats vibes.

Bulma animation was so cute!
