Toei Animation surprised Dragon Ball Daima fans by revealing Vegeta Super Saiyan 3. The new feature, 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 Saiyan prince, something that fans of the series have been waiting for for decades.
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 using the transformation during an intense battle against Tamagami Number 2, in a quest for the Dragon Balls. The anime's official X account shared images of the scene, which triggered a wave of excitement among fans.
On social media, the hashtag #VegetaSSJ3 dominated the trending topics, with thousands of comments praising the historic moment. Many highlighted the character's design and the nostalgic impact in a way that until then seemed restricted to Goku.
Dragon Ball Daima, released to commemorate the franchise's 40th anniversary, offers a different approach to 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 Shenlong.
The plot unfolds amidst a conspiracy that leads the heroes to the Demon Realm, where they meet Glorio, a young Majin with a central role in the narrative. Toriyama, the creator of the franchise, participated directly in the concept of the work, ensuring its connection to the classic elements of the series.
The episodes of Dragon Ball Daima are available on Crunchyroll, Max, and Netflix, with Portuguese subtitles. The Portuguese dub will premiere in Brazilian cinemas in February 2025, covering the first three episodes. However, the release date for the dubbed version on streaming platforms has not yet been set.
