Dragon Ball Daimais the latest entry into the globally renownedDragon Ballfranchise, and with the premiere of the first episode, an all-new adventure has begun. As Goku and his friends embark on this fresh journey, the series sets the stage for what could be both an exciting and controversial storyline. Fans have already begun debating the direction of this new chapter, but it’s clear that Daima aims to engage both long-time enthusiasts and new viewers alike.
Dragon Ball DaimaEpisode #1lays the groundwork by presenting a surprising twist, in which the key characters have reverted to their younger selves, reigniting the nostalgic charm of earlierDragon Balladventures. While this transformation stands out as the most striking moment of the episode, a subtle yet significant clue, teasing the involvement of thedemon realm’s Dragon Balls, possibly foreshadows the emergence of the series' final villain. This implies that neither Gomah nor his allies will serve as the ultimate challenge in Goku and his friends' latest adventure, but someone else entirely.
Dragon Ball Daima’s Final Villain Could Appear From the Dragon Balls of the Demon Realm
A Dragon Bearing the Form of a Demon Could Be the Perfect Villain forDragon Ball Daima’sTheme
InDragon Ball DaimaEpisode #1, King Gomah and Degesu review clips that teach them about the presence of the Z warriors from Earth. Although they are pleased that powerful foes like Majin Buu, Babidi, and the former Demon King Dabura have been defeated, they are alarmed that Goku and his allies, who overcame such formidable enemies, could threaten their status at the top of the demon hierarchy. This fear drives them to use Earth’s Dragon Balls to transform Goku and his companions into younger versions of themselves. However, the episode also reveals that theDemon Realm possesses its own Dragon Balls.
Interestingly, Gomah and Degesu avoid using their realm’s Dragon Balls, not because of a lack of power, but due to the fierce guardianship of the Tamagamis, warriors specially created by Neva, aNamekian ofDragon Ball’sDemon Realm, to protect them. The existence of these alternate Dragon Balls raises the possibility that thedragon they summon might possess a demonic appearance, fitting the sinister theme of the Demon Realm. It is evident that Gomah and his allies won’t stand a chance against the Z fighters. This detail hints that Gomah and his allies may consider these Dragon Balls a desperate last resort, using them to summon a powerful demonic dragon to turn the tide against the Z Fighters.

Dragon Ball Daima finally explains how Supreme Kai and Kibito defuse, but also rewrites established Dragon Ball canon in the process.
The possibility of the demon dragon aiding Gomah might also be subtly foreshadowed in the episode. In this episode, Degesu remarks that using Earth’s Dragon Balls might have restrictions as their magic powers are based on white wishes, and thus, black wishes, such as eliminating someone, aren’t possible. This suggests that theDemon Realm’s Dragon Balls can grant black wishes without restriction. Assuming that Goku and his allies overpower Gomah, his desperation might lead him to summon this dragon. Thus, with a demonic appearance and dark intent, the dragon summoned from the Demon Realm’s Dragon Balls could become the final villain Goku and the others must face inDragon Ball Daima.
