Since his announcement, Dragon Ball Daima has aroused curiosity and has generated debates among fans, especially by presenting a different approach. The series avoided exaggerating the clichés of the Shonen genre, betting on a balance between nostalgia and innovation. Despite some controversial choices throughout the plot, the final episode brought a decent closure, honoring the trajectory of Goku and his allies.
A visually spectacular battle marks the climax of the series
The first half of the episode was entirely dedicated to the confrontation between Goku and Gomah, a clash that raised the animation of the series to a new level. The choreography of the blows, the fluidity of the movements and the grand scale of the fight created a memorable sequence. With colossal explosions and devastating techniques, combat has shown the entire evolution of production throughout the series.
One of the most striking moments was the activation of Super Saiyajin 4, bringing one of the most detailed and visually impressive scenes. In addition, the artistic direction surprised by introducing an inverted color effect during the battle, resulting in a unique aesthetics that referred to the franchise's best animations. The participation of Naoshi Shida, a veteran animator responsible for iconic sequences of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super, ensured that this confrontation was one of the highlights of the series.
At the apex of combat, Goku was able to create a dimensional tear in the kingdom of demons, reinforcing the grandeur of his powers. However, despite the visual spectacle and the intensity of the fight, the great villain was not yet defeated. The Final Kamehameha was expected to end the battle epic, but the script surprised to take an unexpected course.
An unexpected turnaround and the characteristic humor of Toriyama
Unlike what many expected, it was not Goku who gave the final blow to Gomah. In a surprising and comical outcome, Majin Kuu ended up being responsible for sealing the victory. The character, who until then had a secondary role, was the only one to reach the villain's weakness three times in a row, fulfilling the necessary condition to defeat him.
This unexpected turnaround refers to classic franchise moments, such as Oolong frustrating Pilaf's plans when he wished a panties or yajirobe cutting vegeta's tail in Oozaru form. Dragon Ball Daima chose to end his plot with a light and fun approach, instead of focusing only on the unbridled action. The result was an unexpected outcome, but consistent with Akira Toriyama's style.
With the defeat of Gomah, Majin Kuu assumed the title of Supreme King of Demons. His playful and clumsy personality contrasted with the threat represented by the defeated villain, ensuring that the kingdom of demons was no longer dominated by cruelty. The closing followed the tradition of Dragon Ball, mixing moments of tension with the characteristic mood of the franchise.
The legacy continues: Dragon Ball still has a future?
Although the final episode was satisfactory to many, some loose ends have left room for discussions between fans. Characters like Piccolo were less prominent than expected, and the absence of a merger between Goku and Vegeta, as well as the non -appearance of Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta, were disappointment points for some spectators.
Still, Dragon Ball Daima's closure fulfilled its role of honoring Akira Toriyama and reinforcing the importance of the franchise. The last episode not only celebrated Goku's trajectory, but also reminded the audience that Dragon Ball has always been more than battles - his essence is also in humor, charismatic characters and the spirit of adventure.
Even with the end of Dragon Ball Daima, the legacy of the franchise is still alive. Dragon Ball's cultural impact continues to inspire new generations, and the universe created by Toriyama is likely to have much to offer in the future.
