Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread

[goku the krump dancer]

Finally got around to watching the episode literally about an hour ago.

Liking it so far, I think Gomah is hilarious, but I also really like Pilaf in the beginning of the original story.

I'm almost wishing we actually got this first before even Battle of Gods, it feels like a natural progression from the Boo arc.

Excited to see where things go!

Some people say Daima is connected to Super because Universe 7 was mentioned. But the different universes were already brought up in the DBZ movie Battle of Gods. So, there's still a chance that Daima ignores Super.

I keep seeing this brought up and it's honestly a very weird point. Yeah, Battle of Gods and Resurrection F are technically branded as DBZ movies, but if Daima is meant to be another Optional Sequel to the original Dragon Ball manga alternative to "Super", I very much doubt it's going to simply be acting as an alternative to things branded as "Super". It would much more likely act as an alternative to that entire set of stories, which include and begin with Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods.

I mean, we could see them ignore Champa through Super Hero, while (for some strange reason) keeping Beerus and Golden Freeza, but I really really really doubt it. What would motivate that specific split?

Just gave the episode a good rewatch on Netflix with English subtitles this time and it sure is nice to see this commercial-free. My first viewing only had Chinese subs. It's going to be like this for the rest of the season.

Are the English subs of DB Daima on Taiwanese Netflix the same English subs as the official English Crunchyroll simulcast subs?

No idea. I don't subscribe to Crunchyroll. Give me the first few lines of subtitles from Crunchyroll subs and I'll compare later tonight

They are, I just checked.

Well, that's a first! I mean, the same subtitles being used. The different subs on Spy x Family between Netflix, Disney+ and Crunchyroll are like polarizing.

I think Daima will lead up to Super. I don't think they will ignore Super for good because I don't think there is any reason to it.

Just realized, we may see Gohan as an adult for the first time, as he is eighteen. If his first appearance as an adult turns out to be as a kid would be hilarious as hell. A series set in this time period would also serve to develop Gohan and Videl and show how they started dating... If Dragon Ball had any intention of ever doing things like that, that is.

Also, I would prefer to see Kuririn and Android 18 wedding or Marron's birthday over anything related to Bulma's family by now. Too bad we're stuck with her.

But even if they were, if the only lore drop we got was clarifying where Daima took place, I don't think anybody would be groaning about it.

Well, all I know is that the episode is great for what it is. A lot of new stuff that can be explored ten, fifteen years from now, like Dabura's father.

I think since two of the villains are releated to Kaiōshin, Toriyama probably wanted Kaiōshin to be unfused from Kibito so he can interact with them as himself later in the story.

Edit:
I don’t know if this has been discussed elsewhere, but with Goma being related to Abra and Dabra, I think his name comes from “gomaabura” (ごま油 “sesame oil”).

I wonder if Neva truly is the last of the Namekians that live in the Demon Realm.

The official subs obfuscates Neba age, he actually says that he hasn't seen other Nameccians in tens of thousand years, the subs simplify it to just thousands of years.

[Retan]

I think the name Abra and Dabura come from the old magic saying Abracadabra?

but I could be wrong and usually am.

I thought Namekians only lived for around 500 years.

Yes, everyone connected with Bobbidi has names derived from magic words.

Neba apparently means something sticky in Japanese, which makes sense with slugs and snails leaving slime trails.

I very much doubt it, the wish wouldn't outright ignore Gohan and Videl when Gomah explicitly asked for "The people who fought Majin Boo and their friends to be reverted back to kids." Gohan and Videl directly challenged Majin Boo, whereas Gyumao didn't, and even he got turned into a kid. Unless Gohan and Videl are revealed to have special anti-kiddification properties or something.

So subs with dub terms and some mistranslations are being spread, and what's more being used to translate into other languages. Great. Thank God ADN in France are fixing the French subs. At least they did for the first episode after people complained.

I know piracy is prohibited on this forum but has anyone here used fansubs to watch DB Daima since Toei's official English simulcast subs use dub names?

[Smilodon]

I was thinking about those Tamagami guys and the Demon Realm Dragon Balls.

Tamagami means = Sphere God.

They are certain weaker than super dragon ball. But they said something about white magic vs dark magic. So, it's probably going to give more bad wishes (like to kill a god, except Zenoh).

At this day and age, is there really a point in making fansubs these days? Better to use these resources on things that aren't widely available in the mainstream.

In the case of Spy x Family, the names and such remain the same across all 3 platforms (Netflix, Disney+ and Crunchyroll) but sentence structure differ. I'd leave an example but I can't find the post I made on gamefaqs last year when Spy X Family season 2 was still airing.

he could have just asked the dragon to take all their powers. how is it less white then to turn them into kids i mean its not like they want it. its against their will so its not less of a black magick then any other.

or they just assume that because they are kids they dont have any power? because its not like he asked the dragon to return them to their child days in which their powers would be reduced.

thats one problem, and the other one is that he think they are going to invade the demon realm even when they dont know about it. so what he does? he gives them a reason to come to the demon realm anyway.

i mean those vilians are plain stupid.
