Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread

God Ki is never mentioned in Daima. As far as it is concerned, it doesn't exist.
Goku estimating Nahare's power can only be, if the latter doesn't have God Ki.

Better not to force terms and ideas from branching Dragon Ball iterations that don't exist in this one.

Re: Daima-Another Chapter From the “ What Could Have Been Great Book” from the history of Dragon Ball.

It's all down to writing. Daima had the elements to avoid the rightful criticisms presented in this thread (except the nostalgia since that was built in).

They provided reasons for tension and to weaken the main characters.

- Turning them into children was to weaken them, however it was so poorly ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread

Gotenks isn't a single individual, he wouldn't be brought when discussing who's the strongest in such terms.
If we're counting fusions, Vegetto is the strongest end of the story.

Thank you for finding these. I stand corrected. Goku is the strongest in Daima.

The question is by how much? Since the repeated theme is that Gohan doesn't train, I assume he lost most of his Ultimate power in this year gap justifying Goku's superior position.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread



Clearly what I mean by statement is all types of information.
Gohan is stronger than Goku because he beat or was expected to be beat characters Goku couldn't.

If Gomah was compared to Bootenks and Goku defeated him, obviously he would be stronger than Gohan. It wouldn't be necessary to directly ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread



It's impossible to know how strong SSJ4 or Third Eye Gomah are. The show does an awful job portraying power-scaling.

We also can't trust in any linearity from their kids self and their adult ones to gather more information. The previous weakness seemed to come and go depending on the mood of ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread

The strongest line is for a generic intro for a story with Goku as the main character; does Gohan even appear on Daima?

If it was true, then somebody would certainly mention it in the actual narrative of the show . Specially since Goku at the end does get a new transformation that might justify it ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 20 - Official Discussion Thread

Surprisingly a good episode since my expectations were so low.

The fighting section didn't add nothing. I didn't care about the fight since the beginning, it was just extending a empty confrontation.

Everything changed when Kuu saved the day. He unexpectedly became King, a good one. Uniting all ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima Strength Discussion Thread




Piccolo has been portrayed as weaker than base Saiyans even back in the Boo arc. In modern material, he's also been firmly established as several steps below Super Saiyans.

I think we take offense to it because we assume, logically, that SS is a 50x boost, so this would mean Piccolo is more ...

Piccolo is like 55 to 60% of SSJ Goku of the Cell Games. The Saiyans weren't the only ones that went to the RoSaT, he's no slouch.

To entertain us.

What was the point of Super if GT already existed? What's the point of the Super anime if the movies already were there?

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 19 - Official Discussion Thread

The episode was entertaining, fun to see the new forms in their adult bodies. Yet nothing happened.
I'm surprised how nobody is talking about the pacing, since it was a common critique of the show overall.

What a mess. Base Vegeta handles Gomah, then SSJ3 too and Base again still holds up.
With the show constantly shoving Base into everything, it makes it easy to discard.

Their performances as kids were so poorly represented.
On a surface analyze, my current theory is that they were a level behind ...

Cute chapter. Nothing more.

Typical Toyotarõ with a wave of references, liked some not so much others.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread


What do you guys think about Vegeta weakening while Goku didn’t as much, to the point of even being able to transform into SSJ3? Vegeta ended up on the ground, unable to fight. Does this mean that Goku is ultimately stronger than Vegeta?

I wouldn't draw any conclusions when Vegeta was blatantly ...

Just talking about this last action scene. It doesn't feel like Toriyama wrote it at all.
This has the Toei classics with characters repeating special attacks and getting back up after being seemingly defeated. Plus all the weird sequencing.

If you look closely enough, you'll find directorial ...

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 18 - Official Discussion Thread


Toriyama claims to have written the story for the series and I believe he also checked the scripts. The series' lack of structure within episodes and feeling like a single story stretched out extremely thinly also comes across as if it's meant to be one long script, rather than individual episodes ...
