We’ll forgive Dragon Ball DAIMA for disrespecting Vegeta if this Dragon Ball fan theory comes true

Dragon Ball DAIMA is all the rage right now and for the right reasons. With a gripping storyline and stunning visuals, it’s a heartbreaking homage to the franchise. But what makes it even better is its overall concept and plot.

From Goku’s mini-form to his electric pole, the series is reminiscent of the original 1986 anime. This, however, takes the franchise to a whole new level with its recent episodes.

Goku’s fight against the Tamagami in the recent episode will be simply iconic. This is especially true with Saiyan Prince Vegeta’s role in upcoming episodes.

This theory foreshadows the character’s central role in the fight and would ultimately dispel the “disrespect” projected towards the character, as some fans have previously pointed out.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is often compared to GT due to its little Goku trope. And although this reflects a similarity, the two are polar opposites. Compared to GT, the series has a lot to offer in terms of plot and exciting characters.

Its treatment of supporting characters as well as world building is what sets it apart. The series offers new knowledge and ideas that can be built upon in future projects. But that’s not all if we consider the development of the plot and the unfolding of the scenario.

In previous episodes, we witnessed Goku’s struggle with his mini form. The constraints and pitfalls linked to its small shape are obvious and this also applies to its dependence on the electricity pole.

But what is truly refreshing is the joint efforts of Kaioshin and Glorio. It won’t be long before Vegeta finds the Saiyan in an epic return and this theory proves the central role of the Saiyan prince in the next episodes.

It took a while for Bulma and the group to arrive in the Demon Realm. For almost seven episodes, we witnessed Goku’s struggle to fight different enemies. With the arrival of the Saiyan prince, the powerful duo could neutralize Tamagami in the next episode.

This would balance their weaknesses and constraints given their joint efforts. Additionally, the anime is praised for its diverse and dynamic range of supporting characters and it highlights the central role of supporting characters in the plot as a whole.

DAÏMA and its dynamic but diverse secondary characters

A thing that DAÏMA the best part is the preferential treatment it gives to secondary characters. The secondary characters are not sidelined in the series unlike the previous ones. There is depth and complexity to most of the supporting characters, notably Glorio and Panzy.

While Panzy may seem like a proxy character trying to replace Bulma, it’s quite the opposite. His identity and history could contain disturbing details that the anime has not yet chartered. But we’ve barely scratched the surface with this one.

Besides Panzy, the anime also features ambiguous characters, including Glorio. His actions and motivations come out clearly in recent chapters. This corresponds well to its relations with Dr. Arinsu.

Overall, his role, including his motivations and ideals, make him a grayscale character. Although he is associated with Arinsu, he could ultimately be part of the project as a whole. As far as we know, the series has yet to define the history of the two characters.

As for the Saiyan Prince, his reunion with Goku would be nothing short of legendary. Like Panzy and Glorio, the anime could give the character his breakout moment. To say the least, episode 8 is highly anticipated by both readers and viewers.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is available for streaming on Netflix.
