I liked this one, the ssj4 design it's weird but i kinda like it, the big forearms and hands make it look more like a monkey.
Not a fan of the tail going away in base form.
I do wonder, how does Daima connects with super? maybe it's like the old movies, just some non-canon fun?
whatever, im having fun.

For some reason this whole episode felt like loving good bye letter from Akira Toriyama himself. I don't know if he KNEW what was coming to him back then, or is this all just something filled in after his death, but it feels great. It gives all fans all the things that were discussed for years, it shuts down the whole "is SSJ4 stupid or not" discussion, it shows that no form and no transformation that Goku reached is outside of Vegetas grasp, finally ending the SSJ3 discussion. I wonder if we get a closure for the secondary cast regarding their home worlds and origins.

Vegeta losing fights for 41 years and counting. It's getting a bit too repetitive, while I like the series I always hated that every single character aside from Goku and Gohan are fluff. Even when Goku and Gohan do far less training and even in some material Gohan doesn't train at all, they have random power-ups that let's them win every single time.

Like has any character other than Goku/Gohan beat the end boss of any given saga? There has been several times in the series that Vegeta was (far) stronger than any other character, yet there's always some gimmick that let's Goku/Gohan overcome that with no effort, zero training and just out of nowhere.

You actually like it's just Goku and Gohan getting all the W's.

Buu was defeated through a combined effort it wasn't just Goku.

Nobody beat Beerus. The fight with Hit was a draw.

Zamasu was defeated by Trunks (for the most part) or Zeno if you include the sky nonsense.

Jiren was defeated by Goku and Frieza.

Broly was defeated by Gogeta.

Moro was defeated by Goku after again being given help from others, mainly Uub.

Gas was defeated by Granolah (kinda) or Frieza (literally).

Cell Max was defeated by Gohan with Piccolo's assistance.

So who was the last main antagonist that Goku beat just purely by himself? Frieza.

Who was the last major adversary that Goku beat just by himself? Kefla? A character that was probably in lesser stance than Toppo who Vegeta did beat by himself.

Vegeta is so cool.... I vibe with his SSJ3 design. Seeing him fight is so cool


I LOVED this episode man, from the preview it looks like the next one will be as good. I did find it funny how Goku gave the "and this is what it means to go even further beyond" speech to Gomah even though he had already seen SSJ3 through Vegeta

I do wish this anime had been a little bit longer, maybe 26/23 episodes. Just for the sake of having a filler-ish episode here and there were the plot isn't advancing. Would've loved to see the gang interacting the way they do in the ending and having Piccolo/Vegeta/Bulma be more incorporated into the adventure side of the story. Any nitpicks of the story structure aside though, I really liked how it developed" Started as at the adventure phase and now we're at the "hype moments and aura ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ" phase. Truly a celebration of everything Dragon Ball. It feels a bit sad that this is the second to last episode, I really want more. I guess I'll have to hop on Super after this.

I think they mentioned how Daima more or less tries to appeal to GT fans and you can definetly see it with this kid Goku -> SSJ4 thingy.

This thread is full of zoomer fanboys who care about nothing but dumb flashy fights. Really disappointed in the fandom.

@phantomfandom GTFO

Daima is not the end of anything and certainly not part of a "40 years old journey".

Fuck Daima. Let's hope next episode ends with a teaser for Super's continuation.
@MyllerPhiem Lol, the whole reason why the serie is so popular is cool fights and flashy transformations. The story and characters development was always lame

Hey, look at that... I have nothing negative to say for once! I guess we're getting the fusion next episode because no way in hell are they missing that gacha unit/figure opportunity or just the fact of introducing the plot line of a new fusion then not using it.

Peak.

Goku's last transformation gave me this aching feeling that, considering circumstances, this might be the last time we hear Masako Noazawa going all out but I was smiling like a little kid and treasuring every moment of it. We are back at the lightning fast battles of DBZ, together with the mystery around SSJ4 and it's awesome. even the self proclaimed bad guys rising up to do the right thing, Friendship is saving the day and I'm loving it.

I don't care about criticism right now. just want to savor this one final gift from a Toriyama, The luminary who is responsible for so many of us being here and falling in love with this art form.

Ngl, I actually kind of enjoyed that one, lol. Pure fanservice yeah, but may as well enjoy it after watching this slog of a series. Show is still ass overall. Boring story. Whatever. But, this episode was kind of fun. Gave the fans adult SSJ 3 Vegeta and didn't embarrass him too much before Goku stepped in. Goku's transformation at the end was visually pretty incredible. Ripping off the top half of his Gi to go SSJ4 like he was a Yakuza character was pretty fucking hype.

Only downside is that Vegeta didn't get the SSJ 4 transformation. Was hoping that SSJ 4 Goku wouldn't be enough and we'd get SSJ 4 Gogeta/Vegito/whatever to finish things off, but looks like they're just going to knock the oculus out of Gomah's head and it will be over then. I don't believe there's enough time to set up Vegeta going SSJ 4, the fusion, finishing off Gomah, saying their good byes and returning to earth all within one final episode.

I'm probably the only one here who doesn't want to see an SSJ4 fusion. They're giving Gomah too much credit to being op like comparable or even superior to Baby, omega shenron, and super android 17. At this point of the story, making Vegeta attain SSJ4 is too much of an asspull.

We might see a one-time SSJ3 fusion, which is in itself very cool and interesting imo.

The visuals during the transformation to "SSJ4" were crazy. Love the look. I like that it looks like a combo of OG SSJ4 Goku and SSJ4 Gogeta. It emphasizes it even more as an adult

Excellent episode. Each next episode is better than the previous one. :D And it's been like this for the last several eps. Story, animation, direction, music, overall atmosphere - all those elements are phenomenal and even get better every week.

As expected, Glorio wished for Goku and his friends to become adults again. Heh, this magic of summoning the dragon after gathering all Dragon Balls, alongside with music and visuals, brought me back to the times I was a kid watching the original series for the first time and witnessing the first summoning of Shenron as seen in the series. :)

Ayo, I had fingers crossed to see Vegeta turning into Super Saiyan 3 after becoming an adult, and here we are! He really did it, haha. We could also see how powerful adult Vegeta SSj3 is (even while still transforming; let's call his SSj3 form with brows as "imperfect Super Saiyan 3"). Too bad it was still not enough to beat Gomah who can't stop amplifying his power and restoring his stamina. Well, he also couldn't disobey Bulma's words about no more bathing together in case he stops fighting at once. Funny scene, not gonna lie, lol.

Goku showing off all main levels of Super Saiyan forms, just like he did during the Buu arc in DBZ, was a marvelous and epic-looking fanservice. Its final transformation, I mean into SSj4-alike form (we still haven't heard its official name directly in the show), was a cherry on top of the whole scene.

With the knowledge shared by Arinsu, all of them know what to do to nerf Gomah by removing his Tertian Oculus. The next episode should be an epic fight between SSj4 Goku and Gomah, with Piccolo waiting for the best opportunity to strike thrice behind Gomah's head.

@Sasori_Nagashi I have a feeling that there might be a fusion, even if there's only one episode left. This hypothetical fused character doesn't have to fight, at least I think it's gonna go this way in Daima. Just fuse and perhaps do it in some hilarious way. I can imagine Duu and Kuu unintentionally fusing at the end of Daima by eating those fusion bugs that Goku lost earlier. Y'know, by treating them just as dropped snacks and sharing them with each other, haha.

Bulma showed that she's still a valued member of the Z-fighters with playing the 'wife' card

The power Neva gave Goku isn't gone, Neva is still standing right there.
I have a feeling that the fusion bug is going to determine the next ruler, Aritsu and Degatsu? Any way, I imagine the third eye isn't going to stay in their control, maybe Shin will take it with him?

so ye how will dragon ball super explain that goku forgets ssj4 so there should be at least a memory amnesia done by neva to them in the last episode

still what a hype episode and i see the preview is all about naotoshi shida the ace animator of toei


The series didn't end yet and there are a lot of things that could happen. Though, there are many reasons Super isn't being canceled in the continuity, the people who says that since now Super Saiyan 4 has being made "canon" should remember that though it will be a permanent transformation there are three main possibilities, either Daima is a side story like GT, either Super is being taken away from the continuity or they are both in the continuity but in the story there will be errors like Super Saiyan 4 because when they wrote Super they didn't had the faintest idea they would end up writing Daima that way.

I just f**king loved this episode! the entire transformation series from Super Saiyan (with the og reference back from DBZ) to Super Saiyan 2,3 (also referring to the fight with Buu, and then finally the epic transformation to Super Saiyan 4 in his adult form— this is peak cinema!
Akira Toriyama gave us what we needed even after his passing, which is why I can't thank him enough for this. The transition is gonna live in my head rent free!
and yes the way Bulma tamed Vegeta was absolutely hilarious and I almost dropped on the floor laughing at it.
Episode 19 takes the cake here.

I kinda expected Goku to say "and this.. is to go.. even further beyond" as he turned into SSJ3. SSJ4 was amazing too.


Now, I know Dragon Ball is more about fights, but I really hope next ep somehow addresses the plotholes it introduces.
I'd really love an IN-WORLD explanation why Vegeta doesn't use SSJ3 and Goku doesn't use SSJ4 in Super. It'd be lazy writing not to make it mostly fit somehow logically before Super, if this is considered canon.

Masterpiece of an episode. I've never ever wanted to so much give an episode on this site ever more than a 5 than i do now. That's just good this episode was. Can't believe he went & did it, Goku damn right did it, the iconic & nostalgic buying time via transforming tactic, and with the bonus as well, the icing on the cake. That side though, burst out laughing when Vegeta almost IMMEDIATELY flew back to the gang as soon as he comprehended Bulma's threat.

These two man, most hilarious loving couple ever, i swear. The Glorio scene was very cute as well, speaking of cuteness, loved when Kuu reassured Arinsu that he's sticking by her whether Glorio left her or no, love that guy man. Arinsu kept treating him meanly as soon as she found out he ain't that strong, but she's now finally recognizing his worth, after he speedread that book she told him to get, he's just so funny & cute, love him.

By the way, called the wish, you could all check my previous episode review, knew he would do so, and he did. Cuz it can't be otherwise, otherwise they'd spend the rest of their lives as children, which although, it would be hilarious, yet not fit for our Z Fighters, innit? Excited for the last episode!

Bit disappointed there ain't no SSJ4 Vegeta or any fusions, yet we still got rewarded enough thus far though, so i ain't about to complain now! And you never know what might happen on the season finale, so i'm most excited than i've ever been on any of this season's animes so far!

@Filopyon It was not a victory he achieved on his own, he may have landed the final blow but it was with help. These two in particular

"Jiren - Fluff helped, Goku finished it.

Broly - Fluff helped, Goku finished it. (Go-Geta as in Goku controlling, Vegeta being submissive in this form)."

Are you just plain wrong.

Regardless of all that, Goku is the MAIN character.

When did Zoro ever beat a main villain in One Piece or Sanji? When did Grey beat a main villain in Fairy Tail? When did Hiei or Kurama beat a main villain in Yu Yu Hakusho?

It would've been way more interesting if they managed to beat Gomah without turning back into adults. But it feels like they ran out of ideas and just want to wrap this up as fast as we do. It’s a real shame because this series had the potential to be the best, but they completely wasted it with lazy writing and rushed decisions.
