Dragon Ball DAIMA has gone through a fair amount of ups and downs. However, episode 19 has immortalized the series in the hearts of fans. It has some of the most hyped powerups and also the twists that fans had been waiting for all along.
Firstly, Goku and co. are back to being adults, a development that sent a collective gasp through Dragon Ball fans. After that, it was a mere competition of who could show up with the flashiest techniques to bring down Gomah. Needless to say, fans relished every bit of the episode.
Dragon Ball DAIMA’s latest episode has shaken fans to their core
Episode 19 of Dragon Ball DAIMA has everything that a DB fan can ask for. Flawless fights, awesome animation, several twists, and more! So get ready with a checklist, and let’s go through it one by one.
Goku and co. are finally back to their adult forms, regaining their latent powers. This is a result of Glorio betraying Dr. Arinsu, and siding with the Saiyans. Naturally, Goku and Vegeta exploited their powers to their fullest potential. From the original Super Saiyan all the way to Super Saiyan 4, Goku did not hesitate to transition from one form to another. The result? An episode that is bursting with fan service.
Of course, one can’t forget the superb animation in the episode. The transformations look great and each action scene has been well done. Super Saiyan 3 and 4, the forms that had been sidelined for quite a long time in the Dragon Ball franchise, made great comebacks.
Glorio’s character arc has also been loved by fans. He started out as a suspicious guy who fans could never fully trust, especially since he worked for Arinsu. However, in episode 19, Glorio chose Goku as his ally and returned the Z Fighters to their natural states. This is the biggest twist of the episode yet, shortly followed by Arinsu’s own decision to help the warriors defeat Gomah.
The episode is also extremely humorous. Just as Vegeta was going berserk and refused to let anyone interfere in his fight, Bulma pulled out her secret weapon. She simply told him that baths together would be banned if he didn’t step down. After that, it only took Vegeta a microsecond to calm down and let others take his place.
