I wonder if this 4 month rule will be at least brought up by the end of Daima, all things considered. Let's be real, Goku & co. will be done with their Demon Realm adventure in under a month anyways.

DAIMA EP.10 (Spoiler)Review/theories

• NOW we've seen every shot from the 2 minute trailer.

• Majin Kuu immediately made it clear they're not the big bad Majin Dr Arinsu hoped for, as some of us suspected. Poor silly goober. I hope we hear him sing someday.

• It's a little easy to lie to Warp-Sama. I wonder if that'll tie into the plot later on somehow. Warp-Sama letting Goku & crew pass also implies that Panzy's single jammer worked, since their Gendarmerie ship wasn't reported stolen. Nice. Though Hybis still has a collar on, so...

• I do think Goku is right in prioritizing getting everyone's adult bodies back. Their kid bodies are still holding them back a bit. Best to skip all the time it'd take to get used to them & go straight back to prime.

• The bit about Piccolo mentioning that Earth's D balls will be useless since Dende's a baby is a little pointless since they were already forced out of cool down & are already on cool down again. Everyone should be back to normal by the end of this Demon Realm adventure anyways.

• Vegeta showed an impressive amount of restraint. Hybis was seriously pushing it. Also, confirmation that Vegeta & Bulma are legally married. Cute.

• While the 2nd demon world is pretty at first glance, we see more & more evidence of Kid Buu's rampage everywhere. So many archipelagos with nothing on them, long empty stretches of ocean where maybe islands or even continents used to be. Same goes for the Namekian home world. It's a somber beauty. At least the air isn't heavy. One less nerf.

• Seems like the legend of the Kraken doesn't exist on Earth. Odd. Unless this is a case of Goku's ignorance outside of fighting.

• The plane trouble's never gonna end, huh?

• So now, if Goku & friends manage to get to 1st world, they'll get to fight an entire army of Gendarmerie, then, maybe, King Gohma, Degesu, & Dr Arinsu+ Majin Kuu, & then Tamagami #1. Good thing Goku had Glorio buy so many bugs. Only 3 revive bugs left though... But how many Join Bugs?

• The first kraken attack scene was so well done that I was legit worried for Panzy & Goku, even though... you know... It's Goku. Also Panzy can fly. She did fly much slower than everyone else, probably due to a combination of age, experience & magical strength. She should really ask for those ki control lessons... She saved the Dragon Ball, though!

• Since Porunga made a brand new Planet Namek back in the day, did he restore the trees the ancient Namekians brought from the Demon Realm, or are they basically replicas made from scratch? (This'll never be officially answered...)

• The way the Revive Bug forced out Goku's aura is clearly a callback to the scenes where Elder Guru unlocked Gohan & Krillin's potential.

• Panzy apparently already knows how Revive Bugs work. They must be used by soldiers at Kadan's castle.

• Goku's not great at charades.

• Krakens jumping out of the water is a terrifying thought. Plus, Goku mentions that he, Vegeta & Piccolo aren't strong enough to fight one yet, which I hope is an exaggeration.

• Being treated "as little more than slaves" coupled with some psycho demon demolishing their home world, plus everything that happens down the line... I hope Namekians will know peaceful days forever after Frieza gets axed again.

• Cameo from other Supreme Kai's was cool.

• People are probably confused, but it seems to me that this "Super Majin Rymus", much like the Yin Yang system between Kaio-shin & Hakaio-shin(Gods of Destruction), Majin Rymus, a being capable of creating entire universes, is clearly Zeno-Sama's counterpart in the same way. I mean, heck, Rymus looks like an old guy while Zeno is practically a toddler. Also, Goku is clearly never paying attention to these lore drops.

• I hope we get some lore behind former Supreme King Abura's seemingly arbitrary fear of outside threats.

•I hope those poor Glind trees get restored at some point.(mainly for the sake of everyone's Kai OCs)

• I hope we get a figure or something of this "Good Supreme Demon King".

• If you listen closely, you can hear Majin Kuu saying "Kuu" during his fight, similar to the way Majin Buu shouts his own name. It'll probably be more obvious in the dub.

• NEVA JUMPSCARE?! (but not, because he walks slow) Will he make it to the plane? Will he chat with the group? I can't wait to find out!

• The next EP preview looks Shintani AF. (I mean, he did work on this EP , but you know what I mean. (Also, it's not him at all, I'm wrong.))

DAIMA EP.9 (Spoiler) Review/Theories

• Only 3 more shots from the 2 minute trailer left to see in the show now.

• Panzy starts the episode off reminding us that's she's not the type of princess who enjoys roughin' it outdoors. Understandable. One more thing she & Bulma can bond over.

• So they went with "put on a silly hat, Goku" instead of having Goku walk around as a Super Saiyan. (Surprise, surprise, it didn't work out.)

• I'd forgotten that Goku's nyoibo can't shrink to the size of a toothpick like Wukong's staff. Hope it never gets stolen, then.

• If Glorio isn't being sponsored by Kadan, then I guess I should've been saying "poor Dr Arinsu's wallet" this whole time. Glorio must think he's traveling with the most oblivious people ever...

• If Panzy's rubber ducky is anything to go off, then 3rd Demon world ducks either have dinosaur-like crests or silly mohawks. I like it. Either is cute to me.

• If that was a bottle of liquor Glorio was chugging, then he oughta talk to someone. You good, buddy?

• I suppose Panzy placing a tracker on her bag holding the D ball just barely justifies recklessly leaving it by a breakable window instead of everyone's (Goku & co.) line of sight.

• The mohawked blue demon demonstrated an impressive proficiency in body altering/shape shifting magic. This further strengthens the implication that Glinds reach a point in their early life where they choose to have masculine/feminine presenting bodies via magic.

• Glorio acknowledging Panzy's helpful was a cute moment.

• Goku trying to stay up was pretty funny.

• While Vegeta's bar fight was much shorter, I liked that the interior of the bar looked wildly different, not just it's cool blue/purple lighting, but the clearly Star Wars cantina inspired middle table section with colorful drink dispensers. Though it was another bar fight that led to plane theft...

• Vegeta's burger looked yummy. Neat that it wasn't the same black bun burger. Even little bits of variety helps the world feel lived in.

• There are ACTUAL Zombies in the 3rd Demon world. (Implied) Entire forest patches full of them. And they aren't just undead, but can also TURN you into a zombie. I know it's just a bit, but Holy Moly.

• As I predicted in my episode 5 review, Hybis has the Tertian Oculus in his belt.

• I'm starting to think that this whole "timid yesman" persona Degesu has is just an act. A few episodes ago, Shin described Degesu as especially ambitious. Why would someone Shin implied to be the possibly even more ambitious than even Dr Arinsu settle for the position he holds under King Gohma's heel? I keep thinking about that wish Degesu wanted...

• While a bit selfish in it's own right, leaving the rescue of Dende/defeat of King Gohma up to Vegeta & Piccolo isn't exactly irrational. A jerk move to be sure. "Bad habit of his" indeed, Piccolo...

• Out of every angry face Bulma has pulled throughout Dragon Ball, the one she pulls when after Piccolo says "We should have brought Kibito, since he can teleport" is my new all-time fav.

• Vegeta paid extra for slow-mo shots. Also, him just sneaking up on that horse demon while they were distracted by Piccolo was so funny to me. Also also, Horse-headed demons are a thing. Neato.

• All these zoomed in shots of Marba makes me feel like she's secretly much more malevolent than she lets on. Casually mentioning that she used to sell Saibaimen seeds, as in lil killing machines, literally bioweapons, implies a lot. Plus even Dr Arinsu doesn't fully trust her.

• Since Marba only having 2 seeds left, it's loosely implied that Majin Kuu might not live for more than a few episodes. The next Majin will probably be the scarier threat. Dr Arinsu said "This thing might not work, so let's start with just one.(Seed)" One planted more than 5 centimeters down was implied to be stronger yet uncomfortable, according to Marba.

• This Majin Kuu feels sort of intelligent, (maybe thanks to Dr Arinsu's spit?). But I'm literally only basing this off of how it responded to orders/how serious it acted. Only time will tell...

• Hybis, bro, you chew weird.
