Do you think Arinsu is being saved for a future story arc?

Post by Cybersai » Fri Feb 21, 2025 2:05 pm

With Daima concluding in 1 episode and Arinsu obviously not being a final villain this series, do you think the writing staff are saving her for a future story arc? Even with Daima being over, many of the characters from the Demon realm can potentially return in future movies or the Super manga or whatever.

Arinsu and Duu and Kuu seem like they're being kept around for a reason, for a potentially new story down the road. Maybe they leave the Demon Realm and come to Earth, or Supreme Kai invites them to the Land of the Kai's for some reason.

I hope so. I think it would be pretty lame for her to suddenly become antagonistic towards Gokuu and friends in the final episode, only to be killed or imprisoned or something. Let women have their evil little mechanations percolate!

Maybe, honestly after this episode i was actually wondering if Toei would be willing to go full middle finger to continuity and let Daima continue with everyone as adults (hopefully in a better written/more creative way).

The Lore and the Demon realm are too interesting to just not do anythin with it, but then again i am still waiting for new stories about the rest of the Universes, so.......
I really miss ma boy, Black :( :cry:

I could say the same about Hit, Cabba, Jiren, and numerous other characters who felt like they were going to show up again, but I'd rather keep my expectations low. I'll treat Daima as the end for her character, as well as Koo and Doo, even though I'd like to see them again.

I suppose the difference is those characters still had major roles in their story and fights and served their purpose, with Jiren being the final antagonist and Hit/Cabba getting two tournaments.

Arinsu still feels like she's in the early stages of her character. It doesn't even feel like her role in the series is complete.

Arinsu feeling like she's lacking is just a consequence of Daima as a whole feeling like it's lacking.
Degesu also felt like he was in the early stages of his character, but I doubt we'll see him or Arinsu again.

Depends on what they'll do with her in the final episode. It already feels like she's partially redeemed, what's with accepting Glorio's wish and even helping in exposing Gomah's weak spot. I have a feeling that Arinsu will become the main scientist of the Demon Realm under new King's rule and just experiment in peaceful terms, not wanting to take over it anymore.

They didn't even have THIS story finished before they started animating it. I really doubt they were forward-thinking enough to concoct a future story arc for Arinsu ahead of time. lol

She’s softened up a bit, I don’t think she’s got any evil intentions. But Majin Kuu? That’s a whole different story.

There are plenty of characters in modern DB that felt like they were being saved for something bigger, only for nothing to come of it.

Probably not, it's a shame because I like her character, her design and dynamic with Majin Kuu and Duu. Maybe she'll be utilized for a future project connected to the demon realm (I have a feeling we'll go back to it one day) but who knows, I don't think there's any concrete plans for that now.

It's kinda like how we were all anticipating a universe 6 arc with how they teased vegeta visiting planet sadala, so let's not get our hopes up too much
