Toei Animation surprised Dragon Ball Daima fans by revealing Vegeta into Super Saiyan 3. The new film, which premiered in Japan, will be shown in Brazil at 2 pm this Friday (27). This milestone brings an unprecedented and canonical transformation of the prince of the Saiyans, something that has been expected for decades by fans of the series.
Vegeta achieved powerful forms in Dragon Ball Super, such as Super Saiyan Blue and Ultra Ego, but never officially appeared with the iconic long hair of Super Saiyan 3. Until then, this transformation remained exclusive to Goku in the main storyline, appearing only briefly in promotional works, such as the Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime.

Episode 12 of Dragon Ball Daima features Vegeta utilizing the transformation during an intense battle against Tamagami No. 2, in a quest for the Dragon Balls. The anime's official X account shared footage of the scene, sparking a wave of excitement among fans.
On social media, the hashtag #VegetaSSJ3 dominated trending topics, with thousands of comments praising the historic moment. Many highlighted the character's design and nostalgic impact in a way that previously seemed limited to Goku.
Dragon Ball Daima, released to celebrate the franchise's 40th anniversary, offers a unique take on the universe created by Akira Toriyama. The story takes place between the events of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super. Goku, Vegeta, and other characters become children after someone makes a wish to the dragon Shenron.
The plot unfolds amid a conspiracy that leads the heroes to the Demon Realm, where they meet Glorio, a young Majin who plays a central role in the narrative. Toriyama, the franchise's creator, was directly involved in the concept, ensuring its connection to the series' classic elements.
Dragon Ball Daima episodes are available on Crunchyroll, Max, and Netflix, with Portuguese subtitles. The Portuguese dub will premiere in Brazilian theaters in February 2025, covering the first three episodes. However, the dubbed release on streaming platforms has not yet been set.
