@JaysonNnN DragonBall Manga and DB/DBZ anime is obviously the only thing that is Cannon
everything else is Filler Shit
@GoblinLordKing Wrong this is Cannon as of now, created by toriyama, just because he didnt make it in manga form doesnt make it filler, We finally get to learn about the Demon Realm and how it works, we saw a bit of the demon realm back in the OG dragon ball too.

Having mixed feelings about this. Part of me wished it was DBS Season 2, but I am interested in this one nonetheless. It was a decent episode. I enjoyed the animation, but not a huge fan of turning them into children again. Feels like GT, but instead of not being canon it is canon and now not only Goku being a kid but Vegeta too. Wonder if they'll be adults again. Probably at the end of the show or something like that.

Continuity is a bit strange here. They're re-establishing that Buu is the reason Vegetto's fusion was undone, even though DBS established that it was because of a previously unknown time limit. Also in DBS, Kaioshin said he used the Dragon Balls to undo his fusion. Very weird and unnecessary.

Still, it was a fun episode, and I look forward to the rest of the series.

@qwertyMrJINX my bet they would fuse again in this show. probably because of some strong enemy

I really like this episode
They are exploring demon realm & namekian lores
the music & animation...both are really good
The Art is amazing for me
It's subjective but overall I like this episode
I was discussing with my friends about the kibitoshin fusion which was undone .Either this is a contraction or they likely fused again
Still nice episode

Could Daima be a Gohan hype fest? What I mean is that if everyone were set back to first grade, they’d all be around 6-8 years old. That would place Gohan at the pre-Prime stage, around the time of the Garlic Jr. Saga and the arrival of Future Trunks but a couple years before Cell. This could mean we’d see a lot more of Gohan, as he might be the strongest on the team. It’s been stated multiple times that Kid Gohan was stronger than Kid Goku. I think it could be interesting to see Gohan become the lead fighter and build hype for him for future Dragon Ball series.

The only thing I didn’t like about what Toriyama-sensei did was failing to make Gohan truly relevant after the Cell Saga. I understand, though, because you can’t hype up Gohan to be stronger than Goku but still keep Goku as the main or strongest character. It just wouldn’t make sense unless they were planning to transition Gohan into being the main lead and face of the franchise.

This is a rant, and I’m high as hell, so I’m sorry…

This was amazing man I felt like my 16 yr old self while watching this episode bc it’s been so long since I’ve seen a Dragon Ball episode weekly since Super shit brought a tear to my eye fr🥹

The Buu arc getting recapped but having new animation was a fucking treat all the scenes looked like eye candy to me, seeing Toei’s art style in a dragon ball show just feels like home man we’ve been missing a Dragon Ball show for 6 years now😭

So summarizing the episode it was incredibly cool learning more about the Demon realm I completely forgot that shit was even in the dragon ball world like I deadass didn’t even know that you can tell someone is from the Demon Realm from their ears so seeing Mr. Popo being claimed that he’s from the demon realm surprised the shit outta me bc I thought bro was an alien same with the Nameks (which I’m guessing was retconned bc i specifically remember them being aliens)😭😭😭😭

So basically this series is gonna focus on Gomah, Arinsu and them which makes me intrigued asf as to what the Demon Realm looks like and can’t wait to see how Goku and the Z fighters get out of this one🧐

THANK YOU TORIYAMA FOR THIS🥹💐

3/5, I was hoping for some Chibi DB, but instead got a recap that made my brain hurt, Pilaf's Gang 2.0, possible Zamasu 2.0 (PLEASE NO) and needing to change Goten and Trunks diapers.

I like the demon realm thing, as we got hell hell in original dragon ball, then a different hell hell in DBZ and in DBZ we had supreme king of the demon realm, so playing off of that demon realm is nice.

That old guy is CRACKED (since they are making EVERYONE involved in defeat, does that mean EVERYONE, because could swear saw like ChiChi and Bulma shrinking too which likely means everyone involved in spirit bomb. Wouldn't that de-age Dende too? My guess is Dragon Balls will vanish after this wish due to Dende age change.

Wow, i love the animation and art style!
Was very nostalgic to see Buu Arc get shown reanimated. Great idea to explore more of the Demon realm which we never really got things on except lackluster stuff like bits in Xenoverse or Super Dragon Ball Heroes, that are probably all not canon either way.
I love the new characters, it gives me already great adventure and fun vibes.
Also, whaaaaaaat!? Namekians are originally from the Demon realm? That's sick new info. Gotta look out for more pointy eared beings now :D

One thing i was confused about is, when this takes place. So obviously after the Buu Arc but before Super?
But why is Dende small then? Wasn't he bigger, more teen like in the Buu Arc already? Is this just another inconsistency in DB because Toriyama/Toei forgot?

Also what a day for DB fans, Sparking Zero AND Daima releasing. I just wish Akira Toriyama would still be here to witness the joy more of his work brings to the world.
Rest in Peace

Very happy to be able to watch Dragon Ball as it airs globally. Specially that it's this show. It appears that this might bring back a bit of that adventure element of early Dragon Ball. Sadly no Spanish dub, and I didn't really like some translation desitions from Crunchyroll's subs.

Now I'm not that big into Dragon Ball lore but I do find that interesting - the fact that everyone with pointy ears comes from the Demon Realm (King Piccolo was Daimao Piccolo iirc). Feels like a nice plot thread to set up and explore. Really looking forward to see how this develops. AFAIK Toriyama-sensei said that it'll deal with some of the mysteries from the DB world.

Happy to celebrate Toriyama-sensei's legacy this way!

Also I love Shen Long, he's not a meanie genie or a monkey's paw, he always makes sure you get your wish fulfilled as close as you want it. Not something you see much in fiction.

I was really surprised how good this first episode was. I was a bit bummed out when I heard the show would have a short episode count, but if this is the quality we should expect for every subsequent episode, then that’s completely understandable.
My only real complaint was the fact they spent a good 2/5-1/2 of the episode recapping the Buu Arc, but even then, it’s not that big of an issue.

Looking forward to next week.

FUCK YEAH, RETCON THE SHIT OUT OF DRAGON BALL SUPER.

Man, I'm so hyped for what'll come next in Daima. The Demon World feels so mystic — they really brought that OG DB feel back! I'm happy that they addressed the whole matter with Piccolo supposedly being a demon! Apparently the Namekians (who have been referred to differently in Daima so far fsr? foreshadowing?) are descendants of Demon World people!

Very interesting. I've got my hopes up for this new take on Goku (and the gang ig lol!) as kids. I did wish they didn't make Goten and Trunks babies though — this kinda makes them suck doesn't it. Unless they're still able to talk and stuff? That'd be nice.

I hope Super doesn't come back ever, god willing.

@JaysonNnN canon but it's like its own thing I guess, maybe a prequel to DBS but it wouldn't make sense to me that it is.
Takes place after buu saga I think they explained it well enough in this ep xD

Going by the age Trunks mentions, this is roughly 1 year after the Buu arc, which would put it at 5 years before Super (Pan was born 6 years after Buu)

First time watching anything DB related and it was a pretty cool pilot episode. It's always nice to see an extended first episode to not hold back on the setting and whatnot. First half of the episode featured the slide screens which I'm assuming was some kind of recap but I couldn't make much of it obviously. No kame-hama yet ;-;

Concept of travelling through space was interesting, code number, planet classifications and whatnot. Cool theme song in the end of the episode too, I suppose that's going to be the first Op of this anime-original entry.

Got to catch up on the franchise, this will serve as a real reminder...

now this looks good, db is eating good off that one piece animation just like with the broly movie. db was my first ever anime so seeing goku and the gang back on screen after so long is like coming full circle and it was nice to see the reanimated parts. the ED song slaps as well and seems this'll be a fun time.

Buu has a gas that disrupts fusions? I would of just said his magic interferes with the magic of the potara. New Demon Realm kaioshin look pretty neat. But Shin's little brother Degesu reminds me a lot of how cocky early shin was. I wonder if he'll mellow out over the course of Daima.

I can see why some people might feel like it was just ok. It isn't much action, but it's setting up backstories that we will need in order to continue the plot.

I also understand the feel of Chibi, but Toriyama actually had his hands on this serious a lot more than originally intended so I'm optimistic.

AND TODAY I AM VINDICATED BY THE GHOST OF TORIYAMA. THANK YOU GHOST OF TORIYAMA. (yes I know I'm not alone in such a basic theory but I still feel vindicated for the handful of people on old fan sites who called it a stupid theory lmao)

Shame Super still utterly ruined Potara for it's continuity forever with a silly time rule.
