Speaking of that, it's so weird they made child designs for the whole rest of the main cast only for them to appear in that 1 episode. There's obviously no time for them to do anything, just in the last episode we'll see them briefly again as they're all turned back to adults.

I really liked Mr. Satan's kid design, and Roshi and Krillin looked good too. What a shame all those designs are pretty much wasted.

Alright, so this episode gave us a visual depiction of how the demon realm worlds relate to each other. For a while I assumed they existed in different dimensions but it seems that they are in fact in layers, like an onion.

The preview to the next episode showed Dabura, but it's likely a flashback. I'm glad for that though, I wanted to see some flashbacks of Dabura's reign.

Alright, so turns out that that Hybus' belt buckle was the Third Eye that Gomah wanted to find... Yeah, I don't believe I'm spoiling anything there, you'd have to be pretty dense to assume that wasn't the case. Anyway, turns out the reason it went missing in the first place was because Dabra had a thief steal it to prevent Abra from using it thus allowing him to usurp the throne. The reason it wasn't recovered is because the thief got killed by a troll when hiding and Dabra didn't consider the eye necessary to use for himself.

Does anyone else think there is meant to imply a bit of dramatic irony? Him dismissing the power of the eye because he's confident in his power is ultimately what lead to his downfall? If it really is as powerful as Gomah claims, then with it he could have possibly defeated Boo and may even have resisted Babidi's control in the first place?

We also see some previous Demon Kings before Abra. One looks like he's the same race as Gomah but taller, another looks either like a Glind or an older Glorio, a third looks like the Demon King from Sand Land. Not sure what to make of that, maybe that Gomah is the son of a fallen Demon King and has been forced to make due with the smaller position, and that Glind might have held the position for a while? If one of them really is meant to look like an older Glorio, that would confirm a theory I had about him. And if one of them is indeed meant to look like the guy from Sand Land, it makes me wonder if Sand Land is meant to take place on U6 Earth or something, because the description of U6 Earth does resemble the setting of Sand Land.

As for some serious spoilers:
Spoiler:
Yes, it does seem that Degesu indeed has his own agenda and isn't just Gomah's boot licker. He has gotten his hands on the eye (presumably by turning into a hot chick, unless that was just an agent of his) and didn't tell Gomah about it. He as seems to be getting tired of Gomah and is shown to hold Dende hostage in the preview. So he might very well be the true final boss of this show.


It also dawns on me that we still don't have any context for what that bird thing is that we see in the ending sequence. You'd think something that seems so significant as to warrant a shot in the ending and some feathers from it in the opening would be given some hints within the show itself but I can't think of any. There's only five episodes left and I can't give you any concrete idea of what that might be.
Spoiler:
I think it might have something to do with the Angels based simply on other Dragon Ball material but since the Angels have jack to do with Daima so far, I really don't feel confident to say that is the case. Another thing is that it might have something do with Glorio, as his backstory is still a mystery, like he's meant to be an Angel in disguise or something? But that too is something I can't really say for certain.

Daima's episode count is indeed confirmed to be 20 eps now, and with only 5 eps left I'm curious how they're going to wrap everything up. Especially since most of the last ep will probably just be an epilogue showing everyone turn back to their current ages and the goodbye to the demon realm characters.

I see a lot of complaints online about Goku/Vegeta not being able to dodge the laser beams and not stopping all the soldiers faster, but whatever, it is what it is.

I have this idea that maybe it'll look like the third eye really gives the final baddie a boost that the heroes can't overcome, but then the wish to restore everyone is made and suddenly it turns out that this thing really wasn't enough to defeat them after all. You know, kinda like Porunga giving Goku the last bit of strength needed to defeat Boo.

They're still not 100% used to their kid bodies. Plus even though it's easy to forget, they're still supposed to be weaker than normal, and also means slower.

Honestly stuff like this does raise the stakes for things that would normally not be much of a hindrance for the crew.

It's weird we haven't seen Super Saiyan 3 kid Goku yet, given Vegeta transformed and we've seen it in GT. Makes me wonder if they're saving it for one of the final fights.

At first I thought it was strange that Gomah transformed with the eye inserted when Abra didn't, but looking him again, I realise that without the eye he's clearly less muscular and more flabby.

I was surprised that one girl was actually a whole other person and not just Degesu in disguise.

With only 4 eps left I imagine things might get rushed, they could have combined the last two episode into one. I also get the feeling the very last episode will just be an epilogue showing the main cast wished back to their normal ages and saying goodbye to the Demon realm characters...so there may actually only be 3 episodes left for the "story," depending how the final ep goes.

I'm surprised the 'fight' against the Majin Tokusentai was pretty much just a gag. I guess things really are rushed for the final 4 episodes.

So far the only fight that lasted more than episode was the Vegeta/Tamagami 2 and Majin Duu/Tamagami 1 fights that happened at the same time. I'm assuming the fight against Gomah might also be 2 episodes?

Daima's fights are actually paced really well, they don't need to go on multiple eps. I'm more concerned about the resolution of the story. There's still a lot about Neva the old namek, Arisu, Gomah and the two Buu's not to mention Glorio's betrayal (?) that we don't really know what they'll do with all of them yet.

I keep forgetting this show exists. What's the general consensus?

It's good. It's not perfect, but at only 20 episodes it doesn't wear itself out. The animation is MUCH better than all of Super as they took their time with it. It also fleshes out the demon realm that was first brought up in the Buu saga with Dabura.

Also with Akira Toriyama's death, this is very likely the last Dragon Ball project he worked on. So it has extra prestige by being the last thing from Toriyama.

Glad to see Super Saiyan 3 Goku. They will probably use those fusion bugs and create a new fusion.

Would be funny if Duu and Kuu fuse instead of Goku and Vegeta like people are suspecting.

Daima takes place before either Super Saiyan 4 or Super Saiyan God, whichever poison you want to pick. It's awesome to see Super Saiyan 3 still be the most powerful and ultimate form. Daima is the last chance to make this transformation be treated with the awesomeness it deserved.

You can't do that with GT or Super, because they want to hurry to make Super Saiyan 3 obsolete so they can promote their next transformation.

In the battle between Goku and Gomah, Neva decides to...

Spoiler:
... Unlock Super Saiyan 4 in Goku. Now, it is a bit different in several regards. Goku wasn't required to already have a tail or transform into a giant monkey, nor does it force him into his adult form, but it's undeniably meant to be Super Saiyan 4 with its red fur and tail. It doesn't win the battle because Gomah had the power to become even bigger and force Goku out of his transformations, but he did have trouble before he chose to do it.


Also...
Spoiler:
... Arinsu's plan was to have Glorio summon the Dragon as he knows Namekian and wish to become more powerful than Gomah. He does in fact summon the Dragon for her and makes a wish but we don't see the result.


Any ideas what it's going to be?
Spoiler:
Next episode's title is "betrayal", which I assume is going to be Glorio betraying Arinsu by wishing for something else. Given that we don't see Gomah or any of the characters who were turned into children, my guess is one of these wishes:
  1. Turn everyone back into adults.
  2. Destroy the third eye.

Oh man, they did it. And we thought SSJ3 Vegeta from a few eps back was a big deal.
