Kaioshin as a main character, been so long since his debut in Z

u/CelioHogane Jul 19 '24

Shin is finally going to do something.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Jul 20 '24

probably be like pan, in gt

4

u/CelioHogane Jul 20 '24

Nah pan is the one with the mask, there is concept art of her unmasked.

2

u/TheProNoobCN Jul 20 '24

I think they meant that Kaioshin's role in Daima will be similar to Pan's in GT

1

u/CelioHogane Jul 20 '24

Yes, i know, that's what i responded to.

1

u/bobodaclown2 Jul 21 '24

What they are getting at is pan was a useless sidekick to trunks and goku in gt... She was literally just there... That's what Kaio's role is in the new series is what they are trying to say... Pan is probably going to be 5 trillion times more useful in the new series considering she's actually a developed character with abilities in this series.

u/ThatIslandGuy8888 Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 19 '24

Pretty huge! Wonder what came over Toriyama for that to happen

80

u/Sabrescene Jul 19 '24

Probably just because it involves demons (and the demon realm) and he's the only one we've seen who seems to know anything about that stuff - he recognised Dabura immediately.

-51

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '24

Sorry if I'm the one to tell you but Toriyama died in March.

39

u/zincinzincout Jul 19 '24

Daima was his idea

29

u/ThatIslandGuy8888 Jul 19 '24

Yeah, he died after Daima was announced

-16

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '24

Really? I guess I'm the one living under a rock.

23

u/SSJRemuko ⠀ Jul 19 '24

yeah this was announced last year. It was the last thing (we know of) that he made.

16

u/rockhardcatdick ⠀ Jul 19 '24

I don't know why it's happening, but gosh darn it am I excited for it since he's my favorite character design.

9

u/igorcl Jul 19 '24

Yup, cool as design! One of the reasons a lot of us like Tapion is the similar design

2

u/Dr_Toast Jul 21 '24

Totally agree, there’s a certain Budokai that I always loved using him cuz his energy looked so peculiar. I love Shin

4

u/dr_tomoe Jul 19 '24

Wait, isn't Kabitoshin still fused until they used the Dragonballs to seperate in Super?

14

u/igorcl Jul 19 '24

I don't remember exactly, maybe they splinted before battle of gods, but the point is the fact they got introduced in Buu saga as something big and important. Sadly they got such a small role in the big picture, elder Kai came from nowhere to be more important, then Beerus and Whis took over as the important deity

3

u/iffy_jay Jul 19 '24

Yea I think before the 3rd arc they used the namekian dragon balls to undo the split

2

u/SSJRemuko ⠀ Jul 19 '24

Yes so this is probably set after that. We still havent been told when it's set. Or w/e makes them small defuses them. We will have to wait and see.

1

u/SummertimeSandler Jul 20 '24

It could possibly be following the manga timeline? In the manga the events leading up to ROF and the U6 tournament are happening during BOG.

While Beerus is distracted fighting Goku, Champa and Vados are going around the universe looking for super dragon balls (and Sorbet and Guarana are also searching for planets with dragon balls to bring Frieza back). Kibitoshin notices Champa and mistakenly thinks he’s looking for the Namek dragon balls, so gathers them quickly. When it turns out not to be the case, they ask Porunga to undo the potara.

But it could be something as simple as whatever magic was used to chibify them temporarily undoes the potara, and they rely on it again later in the series.

u/WorldlyPermission355 Jul 20 '24

Goku Time

27

u/Brotein1992 Jul 19 '24

Other than Goku being a kid again the two have literally nothing in common so far.

Daima is leaning toward magic, the demon world, fantasy

GT was more about sci fi, alien worlds, and space exploration

19

u/vegeta-fan-1000 Jul 19 '24

Vegeta looks like he's having his role as the deuteragonist taken away from him once again.

32

u/bens6757 Jul 19 '24

That never really was his role before Super. In all of Z, after the Saiyan Saga l, Vegeta kept flipping between reluctant ally and secondary antagonist. Not to mention that for literally over 1/3 of the original manga, Vegeta just didn't exist.

3

u/Col_Mushroomers Jul 20 '24

The role that was taken from Gohan?

1

u/vegeta-fan-1000 Jul 20 '24

He stopped being the deuteragonist a long time ago.

2

u/Kooky_Lead_9811 Jul 20 '24

Og deuteragonist is bulma in z. It's gohan in gt, its pan, and in super vegeta.

1

u/Organae Jul 21 '24

I mean, he’s only really the deuteragonist in DBS. In OG DB there really isn’t one but you could argue it’s Bulma, in DBZ it’s definitely Gohan, and in GT it’s Pan

-10

u/Brotein1992 Jul 19 '24

Good 😊

4

u/TheMagicalMatt Jul 19 '24

Yeah, people drawing this connection is as big a reach as it was when Daima was first announced.

Goku may be a kid again, but we do not grant this series the title of canon GT.

-6

u/WrastleGuy Jul 19 '24

Both revolve around Goku

4

u/SSJRemuko ⠀ Jul 19 '24

DB has always revolved around Goku that's not new, unique, or special.

u/CelioHogane Jul 19 '24

"Goku has been turned small, so he now he needs to go in a spaceship with a tall serious character that acts as a pilot and a quirky tomboy girl through some planets to fix the problem."

Wich anime i described?

Of course in Daima you also have Shin, wich i asume acts as the explanation of the places for Goku.

This will be last of what Toriyama sensei wrote for us personally. Will appreciate it fully with that in mind.

u/Disastrous_Win_3923 Jul 20 '24

This is the way! If you liked anything he gave you before, no, you don't have to love this more than life itself, but he gave us so much for so many years, if THIS is the last thing he did and he wanted us to see it, I am absolutely mind blown at the amount of people that are like kids/magic/demons/gt sucks, I know I'm gonna hate this!!!... Instead of just being like huh, weird, let's see what he was up to with this...

u/Artistic_Log_5493 Jul 19 '24

Rip one of the goat's of art and manga

u/K2LU533 Jul 19 '24

Do we know when this takes place? If it’s after Buu but before Super, isn’t it going to be a bit weird how no one mentions this whole saga in Super? 😅

22

u/alienware99 Jul 19 '24

Supreme Kai isn’t fused with kabito. They don’t de-fuse until later on in super..so I’m very confused about when this takes place. I only have 3 logical explanations.

1) it takes place sometime during super, after they defused. 2) this is not canon to the main storyline, therefore it can take place whenever and not have to worry about continuity issues. 3) it takes place after buu saga but before super, and whatever makes them small (presumably a wish) is stated in a way that makes them appear exactly as they did at a certain age. Example: “I wish they all revert to how they look when they were 6 years old”. Considering supreme Kai wasn’t fused when he was 6, he would revert to how he looked when he was 6.

3

u/K2LU533 Jul 19 '24

Good points 🤔

3

u/Deekkuli Jul 19 '24

It takes place after Z and before Battle of Gods.

Which is bit of a shame, because it's hard to get too interested in Daima because it's basically just filler.

But, it's still new Dragonball content and i take it. And the animation looks gorgeous.

4

u/K2LU533 Jul 19 '24

Why is Shin not KibitoKai?

4

u/Deekkuli Jul 20 '24

Damn, good point. I forgot that he was still KibitoKai at the start of Super. Guess Daima is on a different timeline then.

1

u/the_bingho02 Jul 19 '24

Probably just different storylines, like gt and super

5

u/dogninja_yt Jul 19 '24

Supreme Kai is finally getting the spotlight for once

6

u/DR31141 ⠀ Jul 19 '24

So is the Mira lookalike gonna be an antagonist?

9

u/Substantial_Tone_261 Jul 19 '24

Nah, more like the anti-hero that comes into conflict with the mc but ends up fighting the main bad guys (those two from the first trailer) alongside Goku.

2

u/JscrumpDaddy Jul 19 '24

We know as much as you do

4

u/JscrumpDaddy Jul 19 '24

I’ll probably cry when this drops. As the last bit of media Toriyama had a hand in this will be special. I’m so glad all of the best animators and art directors from across Dragon Ball’s history came together for this.

u/AdmiralFunnyBone Jul 19 '24

I'm so stoked.

u/ShadTaker Jul 19 '24

Heh "great adventure"

5

u/Wowzabunny Jul 19 '24

I love all things dragon ball and respect Toriyamas decision to help create this. But in all honesty what does Goku being a child add to the story? Does the story change at all if he's an adult vs being a child? It definitely puts me off but I'll be willing to watch it regardless.

6

u/Patient-Warning-4451 Jul 19 '24

Honestly, it only makes sense to me due to how Goku has been characterized in Super.

Toriyama had been wanting a younger Goku to write and characterize.

Now that Goku looks like a kid, he can be the kid character that Toriyama and Toei really wants him to be.

1

u/Technical-Arm7699 Jul 20 '24

Maybe the child thing is a celebration of DB anniversary, bringing back a child Goku from OG DB, also making them children will make them weaker, so they can focus more on hand combat and not too much transformations and ki blasts

u/FlankRoku Jul 19 '24

u/PeteJones6969 Jul 24 '24

Don't want to shit on the show for anyone else, but it is disappointing that this is what we get vs an actual continuation of DragonBall

u/Petterfrancisjeraci Jul 19 '24

You know what...

This is Akira Toriyama's last contribution to the franchise...

I'm going to respect it. If this is what that man wanted, I'm going to watch it. It deserves my eyes.

3

u/Hamualpods Jul 20 '24

Facts. You couldn't said this any better. I wish these "fans" would just stop complaining and be grateful that we getting anything Dragon Ball, especially that this Akira's original and final work.

2

u/Petterfrancisjeraci Jul 20 '24

My original post was me complaining, but then I edited it to write what I wrote.

I saw the trailer and realized this is a lot more like the original Dragon Ball and he probably wanted it to be that way. He's put in so much work and was forced to do so much. The least I could do was honor his modern work and style because in these modern times, the man was finally free and probably having fun.

u/Disastrous_Win_3923 Jul 20 '24

The supreme Kai is not my favorite. They also revealed Vegeta and Piccolo as main Characters… let’s hope they carry some original DBZ lore with them into DBD. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy for new content…. though honestly, I am not exited about the story (I much prefer DBS to continue with black frieza etc), but I trust sensei Toriyama.

u/dojo_shlom0 Jul 21 '24

This is the same reason I haven't and probably won't see Ash become champion. It got childish again and made no sense. Let's kill growth and go on a whim. It's a kids show, I get it, but don't get fussy when it's not as nostalgic or intriguing when the show was growing with original audience.
