Dragon Ball Daima: A New Era for the Dragon Ball Franchise
Dragon Ball Daima has officially opened a new chapter in the Dragon Ball saga, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of its debut, and it brings significant changes in how we perceive the deities within the series.
In this initial installment, Dragon Ball Daima introduces a grand narrative as Goku embarks on an entirely new adventure to seek out the King of Gomah and reverse a spell that has turned all Z fighters into children. This new series also reveals intriguing new details about the Supreme Kai.
With a deep dive into the Demon Realm, Dragon Ball Daima unveils a vast and intricate world. It suggests that not only are there multiple realms within the Demon Realm, but it also expands the lore across all 12 universes in the Dragon Ball multiverse.
This anime series also establishes a more profound connection between the Supreme Kai and the inhabitants of the Demon Realm, particularly through the characters Degesu and his sister Arinsu, who serve as high-ranking officials for the Supreme Demon King. This means that the deities are not merely distant entities but are deeply intertwined with the demonic powers at play.
The Deities in Dragon Ball Are Essentially Evil
Through the exploration of the Demon Realm in Dragon Ball Daima, it is confirmed that the Namekians originally came from the Demon Realm before venturing into outer space. This revelation not only explains the actions of the Supreme Kai but also connects the dots to the ongoing history of the Dragon Ball universe.
The roles of Kami and Dende at the high observation post on Earth have been established as pivotal positions, implying that their essence is far more complex than previously assumed. Although they bear the title of deities, their backgrounds reveal a connection to demonic origins that cannot be ignored.
However, this does not solely confine them to their earthly roles, as the Supreme Kai also has demonic ties. In the launch event for Dragon Ball Daima, it was revealed that he has a history intertwined with Degesu and Arinsu from the Demon Realm, hinting at the potential for hidden powers within him. Coupled with the fact that he has a physical resemblance to a demon (a recurring theme in the portrayal of deities), it suggests that he holds a significant position within the hierarchy of this new multiverse.
While we have only scratched the surface of the Demon Realm so far, it is clear that the characters introduced will play essential roles moving forward. The Dragon Ball series has consistently emphasized the origins of its characters, particularly regarding their psychological traits, and the same will hold true for a character like the Supreme Kai. Just because he has ties to the Demon Realm does not mean he will necessarily act as a villain throughout this narrative. It won’t be until Babidi manipulates the mind of Dabura that the Demon Realm truly becomes a significant element of the storyline.
The new revelations about the Supreme Kai open up many possibilities for the Dragon Ball series. Previously, his role has been somewhat limited, but now he is set to become a more pivotal character, as many characters will have relationships that are closer to the Supreme Demon King than we might have thought.
