In the latest chapter of the anime Dragon Ball Daima, the adventure takes a quite intriguing turn as Goku and the Z fighters face off against new and mysterious foes from the underworld. However, fans quickly noticed the absence of Gohan, who has not appeared in any episodes of Daima.
The timeline of Dragon Ball Daima is set right after the battle with Majin Buu. Therefore, if we follow the chronological order, the last time we see Gohan is when he channels his energy to Goku while performing the Genkidama to defeat Buu.
Additionally, one of the first appearances of Degesu—an entity related to the high-ranking Kaiosama—in the trailer for Dragon Ball Daima has caught fans’ attention, especially with the hint of a possible connection between him and Gohan. The speculation arises from the resemblance in color schemes between Degesu and Gohan’s Saiyan attire.
As fans become increasingly aware of the image revealing the character’s absence, suspicions about the fate of the Saiyan teenager are mounting.
The Mystery of Gohan in Dragon Ball Daima
Enthusiastic fans of the franchise believe that Akira Toriyama is preparing for a significant event to introduce the teenage Saiyan. It’s crucial to note that during this period, Gohan has undergone extensive training, as he has recently achieved a transformation milestone.
Fans argue that Gohan’s absence is evident in all promotional materials, whether it’s the opening or ending credits. The only place Gohan appears is in the recap segment of Dragon Ball. Therefore, many speculate that Toei Animation is setting the stage for a special appearance of Gohan in the future.
Fans of Dragon Ball are holding onto hope
In this segment of the storyline, Gohan has recently married Videl and is focusing on his studies. As a result, production might be aiming to portray the teenage Saiyan as someone deeply immersed in his academic life, potentially unaware of how much his character has evolved.
