Dragon Ball DAIMA’s Post-Credits Scene, Explained

Summary

Quick Links

Dragon Ball Daima, the lastDragon Ballstory with Toriyama’s signature, recently ended. The series, which was supposed to be just a fun ride, full of adventure and new stuff for fans, actually ended up accidentally dividing fans.

With only 20 episodes,Daimais the shortestDragon Ballanime that has ever aired, asDBseries series usually lasted at least a year (over 50 episodes). Because of its brevity, many fans wonder if aDaimasequel is in the cards. The post-credits scene seems to suggest that there is more to come, but first let’s clarify what exactly this scene confirms — that is, if it confirms anything at all.

What Happens in the Post-Credits Scene?

Whiletraveling back to Earth, Goku asks Glorio if they can pay a quick visit to a shopkeeper they met in Episode 4 because he is short on Senzu Beans. At that time, the Medi Bugs were introduced. These are literally bugs with medicinal value.

It is precisely because of the Medi Bugs, especially the Join Bug, which allows up to three people to perform a fusion, that many fans thought that the series would alsointroduce a new fusionby the end of the story.

Anyway, Glorio accepts, and they take a short break at the shop. There, the shopkeeper recognizes Goku as the boy who was shopping there earlier. Bulma, who is worried about her skin now that she is back to her older self, gets excited aboutBeaut Bugs, even though she doesn’t like bugs that much.

Anyway, while taking a look at what else is for sale, Panzy finds a recipient with two eyes — quite familiar eyes. Theshopkeeper then explains that these are called Evil Third-Eyes, that and there used to be three of them for sale, but she sold one long ago. Then she offers to sell them at a discount price.

Is a Daima Sequel Confirmed?

The post-credits scene presents the possibility of either Gomah or a new villain somehow acquiring another Evil Third-Eye — as we can believe that there could be even more of them out there. However, it doesn’t confirm any sequels, it just leaves the space open for them. So far,no Season 2 or anything of the sort has been announced.

Potential Issues with a Daima Sequel

While many fans would welcome aDragon Ball Daimasequel, be it a second season, a movie or whatever, a lot of criticism would likely emerge about it just after the announcement.Daimahas been criticized since it was revealed that the characters would be turned into kids, even if it was known that Akira Toriyama was deeply involved in the series.

If Toriyama’s involvement wasn’t enough to keep Daima from coming under fire for its premise and development, a sequel, which couldn’t possibly have Toriyama’s signature anymore, would likely cause even more uproar among fans, especially those who didn’t like the way the series concluded, with some contradictions and without a clear connection toSuper, which is supposed to take place afterDaima.Dragon Ball Superfans would also likely accuse the production of trying to milk the series, especially if aDaimasequel is announced before the long-awaitedDragon Ball Super Season 2.

SinceDaimatakes place almost immediately afterDragon Ball Z,it should logically be set betweenZandSuper. However, asDaimaprogressed, it contradicted a fewSuperevents.

For example, at the beginning ofSuper, SSJ3 is said to be Goku’s strongest form up to that point. However,inDaimahe turns into SSJ4, and he confirms that he did it because of training (the scene first suggested that it could be due to Neva’s magic). Also, Vegeta has never turned into SSJ3 (or Ultra Vegeta 1, as he calls it) inSuper.

Since no explanation was given to fit all these events into a single timeline,some fans felt disappointed by the lack of consistencybetween these series. They could still take place in the same timeline if one ignores these small contradictions, or considers thatDaimaretconned some events fromSuper. However, in an interview with Akio Iyuko, it seemed that timeline consistency was not a priority for anyone, probably not even Toriyama himself, when creatingDaima.
