Daima Dragon Daima is not the return of Dragon Ballon Great Most fans asked for the first unveiling of the series, but it is far from the disappointment that many were waiting for. In some respects, Dragon Ballon Always even exceeds the original anime series of Dragon Ballon GreatWith a more coherent animation quality and much less filling. Those who wanted to see the animated arc of Moro will have to wait a little longer, but at least Dragon Ballon Always adapted the great torsion of the plot of the Granolah saga in its own way. Although far from being as shocking as the initial appearance of Black Frieza, Dragon Ballon Always obtained his own black friend’s moment for Daima Dragon Daima Episode 17, “Gomah”, and this could still continue in the Final of the Anime series.

Gomah interrupting the great final battle is a clear reminder for Black Frieza
The final battle against King Gomah began in episode 17 of Dragon Ball Daima, “Gomah”
Daima Dragon Daima a content a multitude of reminders and references to Dragon Ballon series as well as other popular series by Akira Toriyama throughout his race. Tributes to the OG Dragon Ballon through Goku recover your electric pole, for references to Dr Flump through memorable gags, Dragon Ballon Always is a celebration of the manga of Akira Toriyama in all its forms and manifestations. Even episode 17 had another reference to Dragon Ballon Great Through a scene where Gomah goes up in the air while loading, recalling how Broly did the same Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
Black Frieza is always one of the Dragon Ballon Great The most memorable moments of manga to date. It was a shocking disclosure that fans have never seen coming. Although defeating Frieza was a major motivation for the Hetters, there was never an indication Frieza could actually beat the “ultra” forms of the Saiyans, and even less go on foot with gas or granolah in combat at that time. The strongest form in Frieza before the Granolah saga was Golden Frieza, and it was far from being strong enough to face Ui Goku or EU Vegeta. In this sense, Frieza was a literal reflection after the fact during the Saga of Granolah which was never taken seriously.
The tertian oculus … J-Just how powerful?!

10 DRAGON BAL DAIMA DESTATS You have to remember before the final of the battle and the series
The latest episodes of Dragon Ball Daima were a question of action and transformations, but there are nuanced details that could still come into play.
The real main event of Dragon Ballon GreatThe Granolah saga was Goku, Vegeta and Granolah vs Gas. After wishing that the balls of Dragon Cerealian will become the strongest in Unigers, the gas seemed very well to be the final boss of the Granolah saga. This is what made Black Frieza if shocking. In a single punch, Black Frieza has defeated a villain that he has so far took the three strongest heroes in the series to defeat, instantly diverting the attention of what had been the greatest fight of the arc. Likewise, before Gomah appeared in Dragon Ballon AlwaysMajin Duu was by far the most powerful villain of the anime.
In fact, it was specifically created to be comparable in force to Buu, which means that Mini Goku probably could not have defeated him alone (assuming Dragon Ballon AlwaysThe development of power was in accordance with Dbz‘s). In addition, Goku and Duu were fighting for the control of the Dragon Balls because all three had been collected. With Dend already rescued, the collection of the Realm Dragon Balls Demon was really the last mission Goku needed to accomplish. In any other situation, Goku vs Duu would be the last battle, just like the Saiyans vs Gas was supposed to be.
Gomah walking in the middle of this to present himself as the real ultimate evil is like Black Frieza that any villain Dragon Ballon. Maybe the other most relevant example of something like it happens Dragon Ballon It would be an imperfect cell interrupting Piccolo’s fight with Android 17. Unlike Black Frieza, however, the cell was far from being a mastered threat at this stage of the cell saga. He was still in his weakest form, and several other characters could have definitively defeated him alone at that time. The same cannot be said for King Gomah or Black Frieza.
Gomah is overwhelming power just like Black Frieza
Gomah is easily the strongest pre-DBS villain
Apart from Beerus, who can no longer really be a villain, Black Frieza is by far Dragon Ball SuperThe most powerful villain in the series. Even with Goku and Vegeta to their strongest in the history of the franchise thanks to ultra instinct and ultra ego, Black Frieza cleaned the ground with them as if they were nothing. Like Black Frieza, King Gomah is easily the most powerful villain than Goku and Vegeta have been confronted so far. It is to the point that he can easily overcome the oldest old villains of Dragon Ballon AlwaysDuu and Tamagami 1, without even sweating. Against both King Gomah and Black Frieza, the heroes and the villain ended up having to fight the same opponent at the risk of a certain death.
While Black Frieza treated his opponents with much easier than Gomah (in particular, considering that Goku and Vegeta have continuously propelled throughout the battle in Dragon Ballon Always), this does not change the fact that the heroes and the bad guys were not up to the real final boss in both Dragon Ballon Great And Dragon Ballon Alwaysthe cases. In fact, it is interesting to note that Gomah and Frieza are considered to be laughable after that is at best, until they both seem to interrupt the final battle. On the other hand, as incredible as Gomah and Frieza’s power-ups are, there is a fundamental difference between the sources of their powers that differentiates the characters.
I could not continue to lose against Saiyans all my life … so I needed a little power.

Dragon Ball Daima reveals that Goku can become Super Saiyan 4 each time – even if he certainly can’t at Dragon Ball Super
Goku having the capacity to use Super Saiyan 4 before Dragon Ball Super is the last problem of continuity to appear from daima.
In Dragon Ball SuperFrieza obtained her new black form after training for the 10 -year equivalent in a hyperbolic room. In short, the focus of Frieza was a pure hard work and efforts. On the other hand, the power of Gomah is quite thanks to Waby Third Eye, who grants his wearer the unrivaled power at no cost. The magic of the third eye simply feeds Gomah, even if she needs to defeat her enemies, and Gomah does not need to give him a personal effort. This dichotomy between the power won and not won is important, because it is a major theme in Dragon Ball. In fact, Frieza was himself always someone who never believed that it was worth working for power – the real power was something at birth.
It was only his constant losses against the Saiyans who proved to him what was the value of the formation, which inevitably led him to ultimately unlock his black friend form. Often in Dragon BallonA character who makes so much effort to become strong is always redeemable as a villain, while those who only seek power for power remain bad guys until they change hearts. For Frieza to start to train to outdo the Saiyans, it shows that it has already been irreversibly affected to know Goku, which indicates that his redemption arc is already deeply underway, even if it always acts as a villain for the moment. For Gomah, however, redemption is still a distant thought, because it has not yet been really humiliated by Goku and Vegeta for the moment.
Majin Duu, Glorio and Tamagami 1 have a lot in common with granolah and gas
Daima gives life to the Granolah saga in more ways than one
Gomah has many parallels with Black Frieza in terms of how he presents himself in the battle and the overwhelming force he has. But he is not the only character in AlwaysThe final climate battle that recalls the end of the Granolah saga. Although it is probably not done with a complete intention, it is interesting to note that Majin Duu and Tamagami 1 also share similarities with granolah and gas, in particular insofar as their roles in the final battle are concerned.
In fact, the creator of the Realm Dragon Balls Demon, Neva, even gave Tamagami 1 his power, making him somewhat similar to Granolah and Gas in terms of source of his powers. On the other hand, Majin Duu was created only to be the strongest, quite similar to Gas in particular. On the other hand, the propensity of gas to become increasingly strong over the fight can be considered as a parallel to the ever -increasing force of Gomah thanks to the evil eye. Dragon Ballon AlwaysThe similarities of the Granolah saga are even deeper, because Glorio also shares a lot in common with the Granolah in terms of his archetype of character and his character fight.

The real reason why Goku stops killing in Dragon Ball Z has everything to do with Raditz
Goku’s complex relationship with Killing in Dragon Ball does not really start until he meets Raditz.
In addition to being merchants with a avant-garde personality which becomes reluctant heroes, they both even use rifles (although Granolah is not physical as a Glorio) and magic as a main means of attack. Glorio even makes a wish on dragon balls to also give an advantage to the heroes in the battle, recalling Granolah’s wish to become the strongest. Dragon Ballon Always was totalized as a celebration of 40 years of Dragon Ball history, so it is not surprising that it mixes so many different ideas and would reference other series in the Dragon Ball Pantheon.
Dragon Ballon Great he himself was a basic food of Dragon Ballon AlwaysBecause even Gomah’s outfit is very suggested by a link with Jiren and the Troopers of pride. In a series like AlwaysWho has so many references and Easter reminders in the history of Dragon Ball, it can be difficult to discern what is only a nod to the fans of what is a real addition to Canon which could influence the arcs of future history on the line. That Dragon Ballon Always Particularly ripe for the theorization of fans, even additions as manifest as the GOKU Super Saiyan 4 form can be interpreted in several ways.
It was the perfect time for Dragon Ball Daima to reference Black Frieza
Super Saiyan 4 Goku could very well be a black friend in her own way
While Gomah played the role of Black Frieza in episode 17, Dragon Ballon AlwaysThe last episodes may have created another interpretation of Black Frieza. Black Frieza’s surprise entry was a decisive characteristic of his introduction into the series, but after that, which defined him in the future was his total absence in the years that followed. Black Frieza appeared for a chapter in GreatThen has not been revised for more than two years, and has still not managed to make a real appearance in the series other than the main distribution, occasionally mentioning its new power from time to time. Unfortunately, this could very well be the fate of Super Saiyan 4 Goku too.
Super Saiyan 4 Goku was only introduced in Dragon Ballon Always Episode 18. With him facing Gomah in the conclusive battle, it seems that he defeated the villain, so as not to come back for countless arches throughout Dragon Ball SuperThe whole race so far. It does it a lot like Black Frieza, maybe even more than Gomah himself. Even if Black Frieza is perceived as a villain, he was technically the one who really defeated the main villain of the arc, which makes him almost heroic in a way. His choice to save Goku and Vegeta at the end is always interpreted by fans of an entire series, but it is clear that he is not at least the ruthless villain that he was in the past when he tortured Vegeta in Namek so many years ago.

The Super Saiyan 4 of Dragon Ball Daima prow that GT is non-cannon once and for all
The most popular concept of Dragon Ball Daima Canonized, SSJ4, but it has also proven that GT will never be part of the canonical history of Toriyama in the process.
Since the disclosure of Black Frieza in 2022, fans have impatiently awaited the Arc de Frieza Noir which Dragon Ball Super manga. It was suspended for two years when the manga began to adapt the superhero saga represented in the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Film, finally concluding only ultimately in March 2024 with chapter 103. With the Goten and Trunks flashback in chapter 104, definitively marking the real conclusion of the superhero saga (it is even the last chapter of the recently announced volume of the manga), the scene is now defined for the return of Black Frieza.
With Black Frieza apparently on the horizon, it is logical that Dragon Ballon Always Ied this emblematic intrigue thread with its own main villain – and perhaps even its main hero. It is a perfect way to mentally prepare the fandom for the Dragon Ballon Great The return of the manga. Considering that there is still no confirmation of the Great Anime comes back anytime soon, it is quite possible that Dragon Ballon AlwaysThe final battle could be the closest thing to Black Frieza fans to see animated for a while.
Dragon Ball Daima is being evaluated Crunchyroll.
