Dragon Ball Daima Dakuten "Hidden Message" in Title Cards + Ending Theory

Post by DBZ Macky » Sat Feb 08, 2025 1:40 pm

I am sure if you guys have noticed how every episode in Daima has a character highlighted in red on the title card for the episode.

Looking a bit into it, it seems it's always a single character out of the 20 Dakuten(?)
It also adds up how there's supposedly going to be 20 episodes of the series.
Image

Right now, the last few episodes used the "Ge" for "Degesu" and the "Go" for "Gomah".
The title for the next episode is "Mezame" (EN: Awakening) which uses the "Za".

The only characters left are "Gi" and "Ze". Given that, what do you think the titles of the last 2 episodes will be and what's going to happen?

I have a pretty interesting theory. I think the titles for episode 19 and 20 will be Kanzenshuu and Dogidogi.

What's going to happen is that, referencing the fact that VegettoEX is the owner of Kanzenshuu, Goku and Vegeta are going to use the bugs to become Vegetto and fight Gomah. After a few minutes of fight and several minutes of unnecessary lore (in typical Daima fashion), Vegetto finally transforms into Super Saiyan 3 after fighting in base for around 99% of the episode and defeats Gomah.

In the last episode, it turns out that Vegetto is now permanently fused (just to add another retcon) and so Fu from Dragon Ball Heroes shows up with Dogidogi to erase the timeline so that the entire show is retconned (and also so that Vegetto doesn't actually ever win a fight as has been decreed by Akira Toriyama).
Oh and also the last episode ends in the demon realm so all the new voice actors who got cast as Yamcha, Oolong, etc. don't actually have any voice lines but still get paid.

I think my idea sounds very likely. I don't think anyone can come up with a better theory about the ending but please feel free to try.

I think the title for episode 19 will be "ンカイ" ("zenkai", "Full Throttle").

The title for episode 20 (final episode of Daima) is "Finale" (thank Hulu for that) but I have no clear idea of what the actual Japanese title will be for that episode nor I have any idea what "finale" translates to in Japanese that has the "gi" kana. Maybe "ギリ" ("girigiri")?

I guess I was wrong. Episode 19 is titled "ウラ" ("Betrayal").

It actually seems pretty obvious in hindsight since Glorio was assuredly going to double cross either party anyways so I feel silly for not thinking about the "Gi" being used for "Uragiri" earlier.

The final episode could definitely be titled "Zenkai" as you said. That makes the most sense. Would be interesting if it's "Zen-Oh" or something else related to Super instead but the chances of that happening are slim.

Well, you guessed it first!
While it may not mean anything, it was fun trying to predict the next episode's title every week. Hope the Anime team do something like this again in future projects.

It seems like no one's been able to decipher it yet.
