We can’t say it enough, yesterday was a big day for Dragon Ball fans. A (very good) video game in the form of Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero and a new anime on the same day is more than unprecedented. If you already know our opinion on the first (and if not, our test is here) we, at the same time as the rest of the planet, were finally able to see what the second had in store for us: Dragon Ball Daima.
This first episode is above all a summary, sometimes a little long but very nicely presented (the lesson from the beginning of Super seems to have been learned) of the Boo arc. Whether in flashbacks or the present, it is superb, fluid and colorful. We would dream of a reissue of all Dragon Ball with this quality of the original work with this paste.
The series takes place immediately after the victory of the Z Fighters against Boo but we end up spending little time with our favorite Sayians and earthlings. The screen is monopolized by the new faces, intriguing, with a design either absurd or mysteriously familiar, at the heart of a faction about which until then little was known, the eponymous demons (Daima is an invented word meaning “Evil / bad “).
Besides, did you know, if you have pointy ears, you come from the kingdom of demons (I learn about myself every day), at least in the Dragon Ball universe. And yes, this immediately raises the question of the origin of the Nameks. And Daima seems to like asking these questions, which until now were not questions, let’s hope that the answers will be satisfactory.
Does Kaio Shin have any family? Where do the Nameks actually come from? Are they going to try to explain Tenshinhan’s third eye? So many questions that could well find their answers in Dragon Ball Daima. Well obviously, what would a new series be without a little inconsistency. From now on, it’s up to you to choose how you prefer to regain your individuality after a merger in the Potalas since apparently, the choices are multiple.
In short, Daima is slowly getting us back into the swing of things (perhaps too gently?), but what is necessary is there. The new characters and the Demon Kingdom are intriguing, the questions asked too, and more simply, what a joy to once again be able to follow a Dragon Ball series day by day.
