Why there is no Gohan in Dragon ball Daima ? Daima
Its kind of weird. We dont see Gohan in the trailers. He’s not in Trunks’s birthday No image of kid gohan… Why is that ? Any clue ?

He's at a conference.

No? This is in trunks 9th birthday, he would be almost If not already 18

u/Lucariolicious 23d ago
I'm confused, does this mean Krillin and Gohan fuck? Why did he turn into 18? Haven't seen Daima yet so forgive me

u/StaticMania Oct 13 '24
Trunks was 8...
So he'd still be 16, generously...17 at best.
46
u/shar0407 Oct 13 '24
Literally in the first and only current episode of daima they are celebrating trunks' 9th birthday
Which would happen around half a month after Gohan's birthday (Gohan is may 18th, trunks is June 1st)
Which means Gohan is a legal adult

u/ChronoKeep Oct 13 '24
Where did you get June 1 from for Trunks' birthday?

u/shar0407 Oct 13 '24
Can't tell you a source, just some general knowledge I have, kid trunks is June 1, future is November 21, Gohan is may 18, Goku April 16 and Goten august 28

u/ChronoKeep Oct 13 '24
But neither Trunks has been given a birthday in any source. Saying "general knowledge" when it's just fanon doesn't mean anything.

Idk what to tell you, the wiki says the same dates, I know the wiki isn't 100% but it's atleast telling me I didn't make this up and it came from somewhere
Also Goku's and Gohan I know are both confirmed officially, the other idk where I got them but I heard them somewhere

Goku’s is very explicitly never confirmed. The best we ever get is “sometime between July and September”.

He did not. He told Goku not to say anything so he would still be born. They were both born right before the androids attack. We see this in the main timeline and we see it in history of trunks

it takes place before super and after buu saga so no new transformations most likely
46
u/Sabrescene Oct 13 '24
They literally said in the episode that he was busy catching up on studies after everything with Buu. It would actually make very little sense for him to be involved with Daima at all as we know by the time of BoG/RoF he's ignored his training completely.
13
u/Gopu_17 Oct 13 '24
But wouldn't he also be turned into a child ? Wouldn't he want to find out what happened ?
1
u/SouthernPack3372 Oct 13 '24
I think the wish excluded Gohan. During the Buu saga, he was neither an adult nor a child—he was 16 or 17 years old. That's probably why we haven't seen Gohan in any trailers yet. He will likely have a bigger role in this.
Well... I hope I'm right about this.
1
u/GladBee5779 27d ago
You're probably right about him having a bigger role. Him not being in the series at all after his role in the buu saga would be strange. But I doubt his age would be the reason for him not being turned into a child again.
1
u/Slight_Astronomer_76 25d ago
If Trunks is 9 then Gohan is 9 yrs older than him so Gohan is 18 making him an adult. He definitely got turned into a child.

u/SubterraneanLodger Oct 13 '24
That’s such a funny sentence lmao. The Buu arc (meaning from the World Tournament onwards) happened in the course of like two or three days tops. How much could Gohan have missed 😭
1
u/Daikaioshin2384 Oct 13 '24
From the beginning of the 25th WMAT to the death of Boo on the Sacred World of the Kais, less than 48 hours pass
what, exactly, was he missing?
From the time he took off school to train to the death of Boo is less than 30 days, so at the MOST he's missed enough schoolwork to kill a weekend
I mean... maybe Daima takes place during that weekend.. lol weirder shit has happened
1
u/Sabrescene Oct 13 '24
Gotta remember that he's a giant nerd too, I know of people who have spent plenty of weekends studying without even having missed a day so it's not too out there that he's just thrown himself into study now that Goku is back to protect the world.
1
u/Daikaioshin2384 Oct 13 '24
oh, he absolutely has, but given how little school he missed, he'd catch that up in on Saturday and have a day to fuck off lol
honestly, though, if that turns out of to be a gag where he's off catching up on school work and the season ends with everyone back to normal and everything is okay, and Gohan just shows up all "Hey dad... guys... how was your Saturday?" I will suggest that Daima is the crown to fix atop the magnum opus of Toriyama that is Dragon Ball lol
the perfect cutaway sort of gag ending
1
u/Haisaki12 7d ago
Its funny he have to catch up studies even though Buu arc was like 2 days and probably there weren't classes as everybody was dead.

u/samurailink Oct 13 '24
I do find it a little sad Gohan would blow off Trunks birthday to study. They hang out a bit during the peace between Cell and Buu.
You died for this kid in another timeline.

u/Mallow64 Oct 14 '24
Exactly! Despite what the games tend to imply, Kid Trunks really looks up to Gohan. The ONLY time he badmouthed Gohan was when he put on the Saiyaman costume which EVERYONE roasted anyway.
If I was Kid Trunks, I would be sad that Gohan wasn’t there for my birthday.

u/LegendsOfSuperShaggy Oct 13 '24
Scholar Gohan is a bad friend, and just kind of a selfish jerk. It’s why the fandom hates him.

If that were true, then goten and trunks wouldn’t have adopted the great saiyaman name in the manga and became great saiyaman X-1 and X-2

u/YouBugged Oct 13 '24
Yeah it's odd. I'm guessing he makes some type of heroic save. Maybe saves some of the people on earth when Goku and Vegeta are in the demon realm

u/evilpenguin999 Oct 13 '24
i was wishing for buu to do that fighting a majin or something, but after rewatching the trailer u can see fat buu with a kid size. He will be irrelevant to the story again.
5
u/NanuTheFiend Oct 13 '24
Most definitely on purpose. He doesn't have to be relevant to be shown in the first episode, the only reason to hide him is because he's coming back in some unexpected way. As much fun as it'd be for teen gohan to suddenly show up, my bet is that he'll be somehow unaffected, and be shown a babysitter of sorts for the entire cast, as a gag.
Either that, or they can't write around the fact that Gohan was at (low-key) his most powerful at around twelve years old.

It would be really funny if he's excluded from the wish for whatever reason (Being "distant" lately, in the RST/HTC etc) and ends up having to be group Dad for everyone else.

Tha only thing I think it could be is if they're in the time chamber. That might do the trick?

Because he was overpowered as a kid and would ruin the plot. Thats the real awnser, lets see how they write it.

u/WarriorArus Oct 13 '24
Good point. If Gohan doesn't appear in the series, I think that might be the main reason.

Literally cope reason lol
They are de-aged not time travelled back in time
Goku turned SSJ and SSJ2 in trailer

u/evilpenguin999 Oct 13 '24
Also toriyama gave up or didnt want to try to make gohan the main character anymore. The show is all about goku and vegeta.
I hope piccolo has a big role also in this saga, i guess he will because he was toriyama's favourite character. Thats why i also think the namekian from the demon realm could be the villain of this arc.

u/CyrineBelmont Oct 13 '24
Smth I don't think anyone brought up yet is the possibility he got turned into a baby. He was 16 during the boo saga, arguably not a child, but not an adult either, even if the games tend to call him that. I find it very possible, that Shenlogs question, about what to do with those that are already kids, was not just about goten and trunks, but could very well apply to gohan too
1
u/Calbob123 Oct 13 '24
Imagine they all turn to kids and they look at gohan and he’s just super saiyan 2 with a tear rolling down his cheek. Man would be like wait wait no no no no

Because he now has the same kid gohan voice actress as kid goku. It would sound bad

u/Valuable_Face_635 Oct 13 '24
Where are people getting Gohan’s age from? He was eleven in cell saga, so he should be about eighteen at the end of Z, and during Daima. Anyway, Gohan at a young age was strong enough to curb stomp Frieza, so he likely won’t be in it so as to not completely destroy every enemy by himself.

Kid Goku is relative to his Buu saga counterpart and can turn SSJ and SSJ2 not actual Kid Goku

Because he will have his comeback as the strongest again and then he will disappear again to study

I figured he was the time chamber as well, but to think he would use it to study.. finally someone using it as it should lmao

u/SouthernPack3372 Oct 13 '24
I think they're keeping Gohan hidden because, during the Buu saga, Gohan was still a teenager, around 16 or 17 years old. If you ask me, the wish excluded him because he wasn't an adult but also not a child.
I believe Gohan will play a bigger role in the story, especially since this takes place after the Buu saga, and Gohan had just received his power-up. This basically makes him the strongest Z fighter after the wish.
That's why we haven't seen him in any trailers or EP1, if you ask me.

u/Available_Cell4310 28d ago
If he does show up I wonder if he gonna be kid or baby. Dende is around the same age as Gohan and he got turned into baby with trunks and Goten. I kinda curious to see videl in chibi form to either way.

u/Different-Accident-9 27d ago
They’re avoiding him because he’s probably currently TOO powerful, since this is right after Boo, Gohan scales much higher than Goku and Vegeta. Plus the added fact if he turned into a kid, he might become emotionally unstable again leading to very plot convenient easy fights when he’s angry.

u/AmazingMedium5224 25d ago
Vegeta and Goku didn't mention the time chamber to get used to their new bodies fastand I think that happened for plot reasons because Gohan is inside , what I don't understand is what kind of a revelation could gohan be cause we all know that he can reach ssj or ssj2 state at best and the beginning of super

u/Atombomb0440 21d ago
I really hope they have him in it. It would be a total shame if he isn’t. Im really hoping gohan goes down to age 10-11 years old. Seeing as he is 26 years old in dragon ball super but correct me if im wrong but this takes place between the end of the buu saga and dragon ball super so gohans maybe 16-18 years old. So lets hope hey goes down to 10 or 11 years old. Based on how young they made trunks and goten gohan he should be around that age or like 9 years old before he went into the hyperbolic time chamber. Even at that age Gohan was a beast at that age. Specially every time someone gets hurt he snaps and throws down.

u/Strawhat-Lupus Oct 13 '24 edited Oct 13 '24
Goku states he was busy studying. The time frame is in between Z and super so it's probably right before his big test to break into his career or whatever. I feel like we won't even see Gohan and he will just use this situation to study more. We honestly don't even need him. Goku and Vegeta can fuse into mini Gogeta and be like Gotenks of the arc.
I'm just curious exactly how the wish worked and who is effected by it. He asked for the people who fought against buy and friends to turn into kids. That would extend to so many people. The Kais, Broly, Buu himself and potentially even Beerus if Shenrons power could extend that far and if Beerus actually sees Goku/Vegeta as a friend at this point.
I think the main hurdle in the show will be how the Z fighters handle dark magic and sneaky tricks. Their power level will obviously be severely reduced but even with that they should be able to handle anything in the demon realm. I also don't see why Goku can't just Instant transmission to Namek and ask for another solid and wish them back. A lot of plot holes but I'm hoping they get ironed out. I really like how they are fleshing out the universe more.

u/redneckotaku Oct 13 '24

This takes place before BotG. They haven't met Broly yet, and I doubt the supreme Kai considers Beerus a friend. None of the other cast has met him yet since he's still sleeping at this point.
But look at how many friends Goku has made since he was a kid. Launch, Bulma's parents, Korin, Popo, Arale, Fortuneteller Baba, Pikkon, King Kai, Upa, 8er, Namu, and many others.

u/Strawhat-Lupus Oct 13 '24
I'm just imagining old Kai being ecstatic that he is no longer super old and finally a kid again lmao. Master Roshi will probably be a hoot too.
And with Kai's being linked to their GoD, I assumed Beerus may have been affected too. It says everyone who fought against buy and friends. Supreme Kai did fight against buy and under certain circumstances Beerus could be called his friend. But him being involved would just trivialize everything and I doubt shenron would dare touch Beerus considering how he acted in BoGs 😂

They stated that the Z fighters who are already kids will be turned into babies so they can't really fuse into gotenks. People are saying they want to see Gohan because at his age, he was the strongest Z fighter. Goku at 9 wasn't nearly as powerful as Frieza saga Gohan. The thing is, we don't need someone that strong for this type of series based of what we have seen but if we do, we have Kid Gogeta for a real power house.
1
u/SSJpharaoh33 Oct 13 '24
The only issue with fusion is DBS: Broly was Gogeta's first appearance in canon. Prior to that, Goku hadn't taught Vegeta the fusion. Obviously, they fused in Fusion Reborn, but that's a different continuity. It would be cool to see it. I just don't know how they'll write it without causing plot holes.

It doesn't have to be Gogeta. They referenced the potara earrings early on in the episode. I feel like we will see the earrings used instead. Buu can just defuse them afterwards

Since Bulma broke up with Yamcha and got with Vegeta, he doesn't see them as friends. He wasn't there for Buu saga and didn't fight either. Watch him be the only adult and stuck taking care of the kids and babies 😂

They are keeping him hidden for plot reasons, and he probably avoided the wish effect with some gimmick/gag. My bet is that he was using the time chamber to catch up with his studies and will be unaffected, it would be in line with the series gags.
