Dabura! Seriously, just seeing him again brings back a feeling of nostalgia. It's pretty cool that his character has that Demon King vibe. This show didn't forget how Buu destroyed him in the old days though.

Good to know they didn't forget about Goku this episode and he's still fighting the good fight. Same with Vegeta and Piccolo.

Dabura holy shit! I wonder how he would’ve faired with the third eye against Buu. Seeing as he overthrew his own father though it’s hard to feel any sort of sympathy for him.

Can’t believe bro traded the most powerful artefact in the demon world for a damn hat. Didn’t even want the kiss to go along with it 😭 I kept thinking he was gonna be some secret evil mastermind, but nah he’s just a dumbass

The fights against Gomah’s goons with guns today felt so OG DB coded. Goku and the others were legit struggling.

The way the theme music cut when Panzy dad’s ship got blown up.. I got so scared lmao thankfully they all came out ok. Feeling like Dagaesu is def gonna turn on Gomah at some point soon. The way he just looks at him with disgust out the side of his eye.. everyone in this world is just plotting on a way to overthrow the given king at any time lol

I enjoy this anime despite its many flaws but I swear to god, the whole fight could have been reduced to one minute if the characters at least tried a bit
Also this series insists on the characters staying on ground, again this just feels like lazy writing

And the cherry on cake, Goku starts giving a shit for one minute at the end of the episode and the fight gets resolved in two seconds lol

Goku still can be gunned down. That's.....good.

Hybis "Cease, woman, with this seduction act. I just want the hat."

With all 3 db's in the same world, and now a new power item a little out of nowhere. I guess it can end at episode 24.

Good to see Degesu showing some ambition. It was really annoying the hell out of me to see him serving Gomah like a obedient little puppy.
Hybis is so easy to bribe lol
But Degesu was annoyed at the fact that his girly charm didn't work on him 😂

I guess this episode shows one of the reasons why the characters were turned into kids. It's so they could be nerfed to the point that laser guns would become a threat to them. It wouldn't make sense otherwise if they were adults.

Hybis had the Third Demon Eye and he just casually gave it away for a hat. If only he knew what the heck he was carrying on his belt for so long...

Panzy's dad and the others came in clutch in this episode. Tbh this episode felt too drawn out so I didn't enjoy it much. Hope the next episodes will be better. The talks about Episode 18 makes me look forward to see what the heck is going to happen.

My thoughts exactly. Two warriors who defeated Tamagami without utilizing 100% of their potential are being overwhelmed by some regular weak ass soldiers. The backup that arrived at the end seemed more eager to fight them off than z fighters lol.

So we are back at the point that laserguns and mere electricity can hurt the fighters, eventough a lot of fighters are already capable of destroying planets and opponents like Freeza were alrdy able to survive the destruction of an entire planet. Im aware the Z-fighters are now in chibi form. but this still doesnt make any sense. Rubbish.

I guess all things considered those cops were doing really well against Goku and the rest but they shouldn't have turned Goku into SS at the end, it is already hard to ignore their power levels only for us to be reminded right at the end and we are left with a "why not just do that from the start" bad taste when the episode is over.

@Kempal They were limited in a lot of ways. On top of which they've never gone all out from the start. It makes sense even if a bit dragged out. They clearly don't start goin in till the cavalry arrives to free em up. This shows the whole point in them bein kids now

@KanameYuuki They've never done it from the start. It's a core aspect of their characters. They were clearly limited in a lot of ways before the cavalry arrived. The pacin might be a bit slow to build to it tho but I think that's more an issue of how much of daima was slated to be made in the 1st place as a web series then switched to TV last min

L episode, the laser guns are bullshit. I understand it's electricity (or as some people said "magic" even tho Glorio's magic didn't do jack to Goku when they fought) so it hurts them no matter the strenght but even the fucking fat guy with the eye belt can easily dodge them (look at 3:10) and you are telling me Goku and Vegeta can't? And then they decide, let's attack them with the power of friendship and they go back to being able to dodge them no problem again even when surrounded.

And they can paralyze them and even kill them with a shot on their vitals? Instead of stealing ships, Panzy and the king should be stealing these instead, one shot while any of their opponents aren't looking and they are dead and revolt no problem. Unfortunately Daima's writing is still dogwater and it doesn't seem to be getting better, I rated the series one less point for how little the writers care about these details.

The demon king lore was alright I guess? Even if it does technically expand the Dragon Ball lore it's pretty unnessary and just used as a way to explain why the Third Eye is so important.

I expect a lot more in the writing department, especially since now that the series is ending soon (at least according to the leak that said it will be 20 episodes long).

Edit: Where the fuck was Shin during the episode, I don't remember him doing anything at all.

@scabab It magic, sure, but magic more powerful than Glorio's? Don't forget he also has a similar electricity-like power. He is supposed to be really strong for Demon Realm standards but the mass produced guns that the average grunt carries on them can do more damage to Goku than Glorio does. And don't forget, even the fucking fat guy can dodge them with ease. (look at 3:10)

@Evil_Pistachio Did Base Goku ever actually get hit by Glorio's magic though? He avoided it for a reason so it probably is more powerful than a mass produced gun.

Atmosphere/Animation were great, but all the shootout scenes were ridiculous if you think about them for more than one millisecond. Goku wiped out the red ribbon army base alone as kid, now he is exponentially stronger, has Vegeta and Piccolo alongside him, and they were just sitting around doing nothing!! Hell even if they just spammed ki blasts they could have wiped out all the military with ease wtf. Why were they just sitting around, or not even turning super saiyan lol. Also Goku was able to dodge the paralyzing shots in base form at the end there so those definitely weren't an issue, so stupid.

finally an episode that actually matters and not moving at a snail's pace. but it does not make sense that goku and vegeta will have trouble with guns. they could have easly wipe them out, and vegeta needing a revive bug after one shot was lame. just channel that ssj3 and annhilate them, whats the problem. since when tanks and airplanes are any threat in dragon ball. even nappa crashed earth's army easly, are we suppose to believe the demon realm have bullets strong enough to kill ssj 3 tier guys? makes no sense.

This episode mostly focused on fighting these weak soldiers, but they took way too long to take them down. If Goku or Vegeta had gone Super Saiyan, they could've easily dealt with them. I guess it was more of an opportunity for the King of the Third Demon Realm to shine, which I assume will tie into the plot later.

As for the third eye, I initially thought it would be something that opens with a magic spell or technique, not something physically placed on someone's head. I suppose it’s their way of justifying Hybis' presence.

That said, the episode was carried by its sakuga. You can tell this was one of the best-animated episodes so far, aside from Goku and Vegeta's fights against Tamagami.

There was a lot of action this episode but I was so bored throughout all of that, lol. Can't take them struggling against those soldiers seriously at all no matter what kind of weapons they have. Especially when at least two of these guys manhandled Temagamis. Just get to Duu and Kuu battle already and just give us a long drawn out battle and fusion fest. I'm tired of the stalling. I don't think there's ever been an enemy that has given Goku and co more trouble than these generic Gendarmerie soldiers.

Why are Goku and Vegeta struggling with those Gomah's soldiers? They should have turned into Super Saiyan and one-shotted that stupid army.

Maybe with that third eye we will get serious stakes if Gomah becomes powerful.

Whoaaaaa I LOVEDDDD the part where the black bars appeared like it was a movie that whole Dabura lore flashback was such a nice touch to the story man I always love the new lore drops that we’re getting from Daima man😫🙌🏽

Some of yall are upset that Goku and Vegeta were “nerfed” and tbh I’m the opposite I think it’s bc they’re in kids form which automatically makes their stamina and strength lower than it is compared to if Goku and Vegeta were adults + the First Demon world isn’t gonna have fodder soldiers I mean they gotta do some damage since they protect the king💀

@iamnameers Don't even need to transform, Goku and Vegeta's base forms are already way more powerful than SSJ Goku was at the end of the Freiza saga which is already massive overkill for any of these soliders. It's just that Daima has made them feel *that* gimped.

Do people not realize that fighting multiple opponents is significantly harder than 1v1
We were directly told that even Piccolo's regeneration was useless against the guns, and how much brain power does it take to assume that Aritsu put powerful magic into those guns (remember, the ships have the same armorment)

Why they stayed on the ground? Did we already forget that Bulma can't fly, so not battling on the ground removes Vegeta from the ranks

What even is this show lol. They really don't give a shit about internal consistency. I'm not even talking about DBZ; just even within Daima, they have these magical rayguns that can injure someone like Vegeta to the point he needs a revive bug, but nah these soldiers can't launch an assault on the Tamagami even with endless time to prepare an attack.

Why did they have a random narrator explain the third eye, despite ever having any narration whatsoever in this show up until now? I always thought the first episode with Gomah and Degesu was an excellent way of both recapping the events of DBZ while introducing the characters, when they could've just lazily had a narrator recap everything. I guess they ran out of good writing and just threw in a narrator because it was the easiest way to handle it.

God, this show is so dumb lmao. This episode only makes sense if you turn off your brain and forget the last 14 episodes, as well as the decades of media involving these characters. The show went from nerfing them to set up tension, then un-nerfing them for the epic fights vs the Tamagamis, then back to nerfing them again. At least do the bare minimum and give a in-universe reason as to why this is happening, some kind of kryptonite that can nerf them situationally.

But no, we literally went from SSJ3 Vegeta toying with a Tamagami to them running away from unpowered soldiers shooting rayguns, and there was absolutely no reason given.
