Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10, “Ocean,” sees Goku (Masako Nozawa) and buddies arrive on the second demon world. Because the heroes lastly group up, Arinsu  (Yôko Hisaka) units her new minion, Majin Kuu (Tomokazu Seki, Jujutsu Kaisen), towards the First Demon World’s Tamagami, hoping that he’ll reside as much as the requirements set by earlier Majin creations.

Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 opens with Majin Kuu difficult the Tamagami of Demon World One. Interspersed all through the episode, the battle provides the viewers their first have a look at the latest Majin on the town. As Kuu challenges the Tamagami, we study rather a lot about this new villain’s character.

Proper off the bat, Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 makes it clear that Kuu follows the franchise’s grand custom of ridiculous villains. Posing regularly like he’s a member of the Ginyu Power, Kuu appears extra involved about outlandish wind-ups than defeating his opponent.

When he does handle to land a blow, the outcomes are lower than spectacular. The Tamagami isn’t even phased by Kuu’s assault, leaving the character’s energy ranges in query. It’s protected to imagine that Tamagami One is stronger than the one lately dispatched by Goku, however the distinction must be huge to position Kuu in the identical energy degree as our hero.

Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 fleshes out Tamagami

Although Arinsu is pressured to go away, disenchanted in her new creation, there’s nonetheless a chance that Kuu will develop to develop into a real menace to Goku and his buddies. Whether or not by some inner progress set off that hasn’t occurred but or maybe some type of empowerment by Gomah out of desperation to cease our heroes, a metamorphosis to a real menace wouldn’t be unlikely.

An simply missed component of Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10‘s combat is the way it continues to construct out the Tamagami. There are moments within the battle the place Tamagami One comes throughout as menacing; nevertheless, he appears to have no real interest in really killing his opponent. As soon as it turns into apparent that Kuu can not take the Dragon Ball from him, One’s intent appears to shift because the guardian begins taking part in together with his foe.

This alters how the viewers ought to have a look at the Tamagami. The way in which many characters reference them makes them seem to be terrifying monsters, however they’re clearly extra like testing devices. They don’t exist to hoard the Dragon Balls, simply to make sure just one who has put in enough effort could declare them.

As Kuu’s battle performs out, we see Goku’s group arrive on the Second Demon World. Their presence is shortly greeted by Gendarmerie, leading to a mid-air battle. As Glorio (Kôki Uchiyama) struggles to interact his foes with their craft’s weapons, Goku makes quick work of their pursuers. The battle sees the Saiyan get inventive together with his method to defeating a few of his adversaries, performing some distinctive assaults to drop his enemies from the sky, however not earlier than just a few well-placed laser blasts depart their airship struggling to take care of altitude.

The aircraft’s low altitude quickly attracts the eye of a monstrous Kraken. Greedy the ship, it begins to crush it like a tin can. Whereas the crew initially flees, Panzy (Ai Fairouz) quickly returns to the craft, determined to avoid wasting one thing. Hoping to avoid wasting his buddy from being crushed and swallowed, Goku follows her.

No sidetracking right here. Simply easy crusing!

Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 delivers this sequence properly. It takes time to let the hazard set in as Goku struggles to succeed in Panzy within the quickly shrinking house. A activity that might’ve been a lot simpler together with his grownup physique.

Because the ship and its inhabitants disappear into the Kraken’s maw, there’s a momentary fear that the story will get sidetracked by an extended sequence exhibiting Goku and Panzy escaping from the beast’s gullet. Fortunately, no such distraction is indulged in. Quite, the 2 merely fly out, having escaped in simply the nick of time, with Panzy bearing the Dragon Ball she went again after.

Deciding its greatest to await the arrival of Bulma’s staff, the now vehicle-less group takes a breather on the unique homeworld of the Namekians. Wanting strikingly just like the unique Planet Namek, the locale gives one other intelligent callback for long-time franchise followers to take pleasure in.

As soon as Bulma’s group arrives, Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 takes a while to flesh out the historical past of the Demon Realm, its half in creating the broader universe, and the actual causes the Glinds and the Namekians left. This sequence manages to ship attention-grabbing tidbits in regards to the world’s lore with out ever going too deep into the weeds.

Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 10 delivers some enjoyable and lore because it briskly continues the heroes’ journey. Simply because the credit are about to roll, we see the traditional Namekian Neva watching the group depart the Nemekian dwelling from the shadows. What implications his presence brings to the story is a query that leaves followers with an additional little purpose to look ahead to the subsequent episode.
