Synopsis

Dragon Ball Daima, the fifth anime series in the Dragon Ball franchise, follows Goku and his friends as they are mysteriously shrunk due to a conspiracy. To reverse this, they embark on an epic adventure to a new, mysterious world. This original story, created by Akira Toriyama, is filled with intense action and features Goku using his Power Pole in combat, a rarely seen technique. The series promises unique and engaging battles in an unfamiliar setting, offering a fresh take on the Dragon Ball universe while delving into its mysteries. The term "Daima," while officially stylized in katakana, translates roughly to "Evil," though the kanji used suggests "Great Demon/Magic." This grand adventure includes the return of many familiar characters, along with new additions, adding depth to the story.

Characters

Gokuu Son

Race: Saiyan Height: 5'9" (175.3 cm) Weight: 187 lbs (85.4 kg) Birth year: 737 Age Hobby: Fighting strong opponents Favorite food: Everything Favorite vehicle: Kintoun (Nimbus) Originally named Kakarot, Gokuu is born a member of a race of extraterrestrials called the Saiyans. Shortly following his birth, Gokuu is sent from his native planet Vegeta to Earth, for potential selling on the intergalactic market by destroying all its life; Goku was also sent away to escape Freeza's genocide of the Saiyans. Once he lands on Earth, he is adopted by an old man named Gohan (who is later just called Grandpa Gohan). At first, Goku is very violent as a kid due to his Saiyan blood, but due to an injury to his head that caused him severe amnesia, Gokuu changes to a more tempered, innocent boy. At the start of the series, Gokuu meets Bulma, Yamucha, Oolong, and Pu'ar, whose characters mirror those found in Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West. He also encounters Kuririn, who eventually becomes his best friend, and others during his journey for more strength. Participating in several World Martial Arts Tournaments, Gokuu also battles foes-turned-allies such as Tenshinhan and Chaozu, as well as the offspring of Demon King Piccolo named Majunior (later, he's named just Piccolo). Dragon Ball Z takes place 5 years after Gokuu's victory against Piccolo in the 23rd Budokai Tenkaichi. He now has a son named Son Gohan (named after Grandpa Gohan) who lacks his father's love of fighting but has a great hidden potential himself. Throughout the series, Gokuu & Gohan face terribly strong opponents like other powerful Saiyans, a space tyrant, artificial humans, Majins & Gods that threaten Earth while also giving them exhilarating fights. Along with new enemies, they also gain new friends that help in these situations. As well as becoming more powerful, Gokuu learns to accept his forgotten Saiyan heritage (this gives him a small identity crisis when Raditz reveals his past, and is something he carries with him into the proceeding Namek arc) & consistently comes across the predicament of killing an opponent (he starts out killing without much thought to the moral consequences of taking a life, and only after training under Kami does he start to struggle with killing a person; this comes to a head when he fights Freeza on Namek).

Vegeta

Race: Saiyan Birth date: 732 Age Height: 5' 5" Weight: 123 lbs (56 kg) Hobby: Training Favorite food: All types of food Favorite vehicle: Space pod Known family: King Vegeta (father), Tarble (brother), Bulma (wife), Trunks (son), Bra [Bulla] (daughter) Vegeta is a fictional character from the manga series Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama. Along with Goku, Gohan and Piccolo, he is one of the most prominent characters in the series, originally starting out as a villain before becoming a mainstay hero. Vegeta starts out haughty, arrogant, self-entitled and ruthless as the prince of Saiyans. His royal status caused him to develop an inflated sense of superiority and he holds himself above most, if not all people he encounters. Regal, egotistical and full of pride, Vegeta was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer. However, as the story unfolds, he changes to a person capable of caring about and loving someone other than himself. Vegeta was once a young member of the Saiyan army, but after his race's demise, he worked alongside Nappa and Raditz, directly under Freeza. He seeks immortality to rule the universe, but once he learns about Freeza destroying his planet from Dodoria, he resolves to take out Freeza (not to avenge his race, but to assure his own rule over the universe as well as to get back at Freeza for unknowingly using him to further his own goals). He later battles Freeza with the main cast on Namek and dies in the ensuing fights; once he is revived, he returns to Earth, where he adjusts to everyday life and remains there for good. In
