Dragon Ball DAIMAis an intriguing addition to the anime conversation of the Fall 2024 season. WithDragon Ball DAIMA‘s premiere, Toei carries forward Akira Toriyama’s lasting legacy, ensuring it lives on forever. Goku’s return has set the internet ablaze, and many fans believeDAIMAcould outshineDragon Ball Super.
Episode 1 confirms that the premise is set after the Majin Buu events, meaning DAIMA events take place before Goku’s big Beerus fight inDragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods. While Toei Animation affirms thatDragon Ball Daimais fully canon and ties intoDragon Ball Super, the studio may have mistakenly added a significant plot hole.
DAIMAUndermines KeyDragon Ball SuperDevelopment with a Major Plot Hole
Dragon Ball DAIMAdebuted to an amazing reception, marking a thrilling new era for theDragon Balluniverse and drawing fans back into the action. It follows the story of Goku in the nebulous Demon Realm before he and the rest ofDB‘s cast find themselves transformed into mini-kid versions of themselves.
In the opening moments of Episode 1,DAIMAestablishes its position in theDragon Balltimeline, set before Beerus and Whis’ arrival in the Battle of Gods arc. The Z fighters will have the same power level as they did back in the Buu Saga and will not have access to any god-tier transformations.
Regardless, Toei makes sure to address the fans’ confusion about the series being canon by mentioning Universe 7 in the first episode, when Gomah, Degesu, and Neva were traveling to Earth to make their devious wishes.
Dragon Ball DAIMA is Making a Huge Mistake by Blatantly Replacing One of the Most Important Characters of the Franchise
Although a key moment, the latestDAIMAepisode may have contained a major mistake when Goku overhears Supreme Kai mentioning Universe 7. In theDAIMAepisode 5, Universe 7 is again brought up, which confirms again that the events ofDragon Ball Superare coming.
Supreme Kai tells the demon to head to Universe 7 to ensure the group (Vegeta, Picollo, and Bulma) has the pin number and can access the Demon Realm. Though it might not seem like a major reference, the main issue is that the entire interaction took place in front of Goku.

Since Goku learned about the multi-universe inDragon Ball Super, many fans are questioning if this creates a major plot hole on Toei’s part. Back in the Battle of God’s arc, Beerus reveals the secret of all twelve Universes and him being the God of Destruction of Universe 7 to Goku.
Given thatDAIMAis set beforeDBS, Goku’s surprise at Beerus revealing Universe 7 contradicts the established timeline details, creating a noticeable plot hole in the process.
However, Toei could still address this by emphasizing Goku’s usual aloof nature, making it plausible that he simply forgot this important information later on. This is especially likely since the Supreme Kai didn’t mention any strong warriors in their conversation that might have captured Goku’s attention.
WillDragon Ball DAIMAFeature Goku’s SSJ4 Transformation
ThoughDragon Ball GTmight not be as renowned asDBZorDBS, the series is famous for featuring the iconic SSJ4 transformation and thrilling antagonists.DAIMApresents the perfect opportunity to honor the legendary mangaka’s contributions.
While there’s been no official confirmation, following the story’s premise, the return of SSJ4transformation is highly likely. With SSJ3 being Goku’s most powerful transformation, it would make sense to reintroduce SSJ4 if he wants to beat powerful new enemies like Neva’s Tamigami’s in the Demon Realm.
Dragon Ball DAIMA Has a Goldmine Opportunity to Bring Back a Non-Canon Rogue Villain Designed to Kill Saiyans
DAIMAis all about celebratingthe 40-year legacy ofDragon Ball,which includes reintroducing iconic elements from the series, such as Goku’s Power Pole. Thus, giving Goku SSJ4 would be an exciting way forDAIMAto commemorate all ofDragon Ball‘s rich history.
Dragon BallSuperis available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
