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."

DAIMA TIME IS ALMOST HERE!!! CAN'T WAIT YEAAAAAAAYYYY!!!

((goku without the shake under read more))

[boo-and-marie]

I heard this is where the greatest fighters are

[stepharts]

This is what went through my head during this conversation.

[amokslime]

This is my primary takeaway from Daima

[chaoschaoschaosart]

DRAGON BALL 40th Anniversary:

Oozaru Fist! 🐵👊💥

[deathberi]

IT DOESN’T MATTER! WE’RE TURNING BACK INTO ADULTS AND GOING BACK TO EARTH!

[fabuloustrash05]

Piccolo learning a little too much about Vegeta and Bulma’s relationship in Daima is my favorite running gag.

[yuriithink]

PICCOLO SCREEN CAPZZZ!! ^_^

All are these are from daima, my silly baby.

I just love piccolo, his character story is def one that I enjoy.

DAIMA EP.18 (Spoilers) Review/theories

• Toriyama, you Mad Lad, I LOVE YOU!!! I'll love you till the end of time! He really did say "let's do GT my way".

• Well, that was an interesting, um... Not recap? I don't know what to call those first couple seconds of this episode, honestly.

• Man, they really wanted to give the OG Super Saiyan forms their flowers in this show.

• Calling Kuu & Duu "The Clutch Brothers" from here on. Can't wait to see all those clickbait thumbnails titled "Majin Duu's potential is terrifying". Really like Duu's SSJ3 knock-off form. But what demon shop is selling cookies that big? They got Texas in the Demon Realm, too?

• Neva casually pulls up & gives Goku a mega evolution. (With it's own theme, too) Until it gets a name, I'll call it "Pseudo 4" for now. I personally like the big monkey paws. Most folk won't, I'm sure. Not being adult sized isn't helping. But that does set it apart from it's GT counterpart. Looks like Neva enhanced Goku's "S-cells" to me

• Pseudo 4 is clearly a purely magic form Goku can't actually achieve on his own. And of course, we all know he doesn't really like being handed power ups, so he'll probably say he'll just train some more and get that strong on his own.

• King Gohma seems to be constantly overtaxing the Tertian Oculus, making his limits hard to gauge, much like Z-movie Broly.

• Those 98% black & white shots were so chilling & memorable.

• Glorio, if you don't fess up by the end of the show, I don't know what I'll do. You seemed pretty compelled to obey Dr Arinsu, so maybe you actually are that Majin she mentioned creating before Majin Kuu.

• We've seen Goku get interrupted while charging a Kamehameha before, but that one felt MAD disrespectful. Bro didn't even get to "me" & got the Street Fighter K.O echo. (That backflip, though)

• And now there's a canonical Fire Kamehameha. Yippee.

• Wow, King Gohma, congrats on being the first to ever beat a red monkey man by becoming a giant. (Also, new theme, I think)

• Yet another new tune plays during Glorio's inner conflict. Him knowing namekian implies he let Neva tag along so as not to blow his cover. "Huh? Why do you know Namekian?"

• Super Porunga makes his appearance(W/ his own theme) & is leagues stronger than the Ultra powered up King Gohma. (Neva, what ARE YOU?!)

• I wonder if they'll replace that still shot of the Kadan castle crew in the OP with this Pseudo 4 form for the next two episodes.

• Don't give up on fusion yet! There's still some show left!

[boss-hoody]

People not understanding this properly

Katatz had a son. That son escaped to Earth long ago That son forgot his name and even how he got to Earth and is referred to as the Nameless Namekian

The Nameless Namekian grew up and eventually, he was training to become the guardian of earth, but had evil in his heart. He purged that evil, splitting into two beings, one of pure good, one of pure evil. The pure good side went on to become the guardian of earth, taking the title as his name. Kami.

The evil half declared himself Demon King and took on the name Piccolo

Goku turned him into a donut many years later, and as his final act in the moment before death, Piccolo fired off an egg. That egg contained a perfect copy of himself, his reincarnation...

Piccolo Jr (Later just referred to as Piccolo)

Piccolo would then go on to have a bunch of character development, naturally becoming one of the good guys and ultimately becoming one with Kami again. In that moment, Piccolo and Kami ceased to be, and the Nameless Namekian was reborn, but he chose to continue using the name Piccolo.

So, from the point Piccolo and Kami fuse and onward, the entity known as Piccolo is actually the Nameless Namekian, THEREFORE, the father he's referring to, Katatz, is NOT Demon King Piccolo's real name, but actually Demon King Piccolo's (And Kami's) father.

Also Katatz was mentioned by name by Guru in the Frieza saga, but it was translated as "Katattsu", so shut up, dork this isn't even new lore
