Has the hype for Daima died down?

[kiarasuraru]

I think the reception would've been far better than it was had Daima released after the conclusion of Super (Specifically Moro, Granola, & Black Freeza). It's worth noting that Daima was written the way it was because of the legal issues behind the scenes, otherwise it either wouldn't have been made at all (as Iyoko initially wanted to animate Moro), or it would've been written as part of the overall Super story line.

Connecting Daima to Super is actually a lot easier than fans are making it out to be, as all you have to do is watch it between Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. Vegeta doesn't use Ssj3 anymore because he has the superior SsjB, and Goku can't use Ssj4 because he needs Neva's magic to unlock it; Problem solved. Do I personally think they will do anything with the demon realm moving forward ? probably not, at least not anytime soon, as despite loving Daima myself, I can't deny that the show just didn't land the way I think everyone behind the scenes thought it would.

The reception would probably have been a lot better, yeah, but honestly, two of Daima's fundamental issues, the getting turned back into kids and the being yet another interquel rather than finally moving past EoZ, wouldn't have changed. And if Daima had remained as it was, the inconsistencies with Super issue would have also remained. It's a wash, really. Honestly, in such an hypothetical Daima would have likely been an entirely different thing.

It's actually be super duper easy to make Daima "fit in" with Super, yeah. Thing is, do they want to make it fit? Are they doing it? So far, the answer seems to be no. Like, this whole deal with Super now would have been the absolute perfect chance to do so too, but that would have required an actual genuine honest to God Remake and that's seemingly more trouble than it is worth for them or just don't have the time and resources to do so.
Can people headcanon and make some slight mental gymnastics and go lalala doesn't matter to make the pieces fit in? Sure can. They shouldn't have to though. It shouldn't be the audience's job to do that. The asterisk is always there no matter how much people love to pretend otherwise.

I think the goal right now is to get the Moro and Granola arcs animated, and to get the manga back on track with Black Freeza. Once that's all up and running, I do believe they will start to look into what can be done with Daima. Do they try to incorporate it into Super and build off it from there, or do they keep it as its own separate series that they revisit later and give it its own standalone sequel stories ? I personally think they will connect it to Super, which is indeed quite easy, as it works pretty well between BOG and RF. They can explain that Goku needs Neva's magic to use Ssj4, which opens the door to the tail and Golden Great Ape being brought back later to get around that. They can put a twist on it and have Vegeta be the one to discover Ssj4 through the tail and Great Ape, and if they need to give Piccolo a new form, they can have him fuse with Neva.

The hype hasn't started yet. Maybe with season 2.

The consistent assumption from fans that there would be a second season of Daima is so weird. We would have had indication that Daima had more story by now.

Funniest bit is how people take the obviously gag ending as some sort of epic cliffhanger.
Don't mess with us Daima fans, we totally love gags over anything else, but we cannot notice the most obvious one.
And then you also had the people taking the obviously done for the sake of gameplay mechanics for the Kakarot DLC mini-bugs or whatever as yet another totally a hint of a Daima continuation.
Copium is one hell of a drug.

The thing is, Fans did it to themselves. I knew going in what Daima was from the get-go: a fun lark to celebrate an anniversary milestone. But being on this site in the weeks before its release, people were convinced that:

1. That Daima was going to be the next chapter of Super
2. That Daima was simply going to replace Super
3. That Daima was gonna connect in some way significant way to the loooooore.

A good chunk of the reason why people were disappointed is because they made up a version of Daima that the actual product had no intention of being. I get this is a forum where we can only talk about Dragonball, but I’ve learned that keeping your expectations in check is a pretty effective ways to enjoy things at their level.

Yeah, pretty much. It's Dragon Ball, a series with a creator that wasn't really a big nerd like other writers are. We were never going to get some big, expansive, franchise-spanning continuity ala other big franchises. That's just not how Toriyama worked and nobody else in a position of authority wanted to go against that.

This goes back to the lack of communication from the officials on what this series is, and that lack of communication continues to this day.

Is Daima its own thing ?
Is Daima connected to Super ?
Is Daima its own thing now but might be connected later ?

If no one official is going to answer any of these questions, then fans are naturally going to speculate based on what they have to work with. I personally think it's its own thing that may or may not connect later down the line, but can I say that for a fact ?

I think if Super Saiyan 3 and 4 appear in Dragon Ball Super Beerus many fans will revisit Daima with a different perspective i plan to rewatch Daima since i only saw it in Japanese and now i want to hear it dubbed in Latin American Spanish

Considering what we know about the project, I find the likelihood of that happening very low. However, they could be mentioned, as a line or two of dialogue is a lot easier to pull off than animating two entirely new fights using the forms.
