Not a whole lot to say about this one. Multiple demon worlds, Young Roshi, Popo has horns. The babies are pretty funny. Are they communicating telepathically? Got some big time Namek vibes from needing the space ship and Bulma having to fix it. Just a couple leaving before the rest can join. I’m very excited to see where this series goes. It is a slow start, but I am still enjoying it
Shenron saying he only grants three wishes for returning customers confirmed my earlier sentiment that lore doesn’t matter in Daima and they just do what’s funny in the moment. There would have been easy explanations otherwise (it’s only one wish due to the ritual or he doesn’t have enough power for two more wishes since Dende is now an infant). So, I’ll stop mentioning lore stuff.
As for the actual episode: It was fine.
I’m kinda sad neither Korin nor the turtle are considered ‘friends of Goku’ - at least that’s how the wish was translated for me. As for the actual designs, I would have prefereed to have child designs and not just chibis. I guess the main difference here would be their hair, like Roshi for example having some. And of course their cloths, after all a lot of these characters already have cild designs.
I’d like to know what’s up with Gohan. Dende reverted back to an infant and Piccolo is a child now. Gohan should be inbetween them (ignoring their different aging process) - so which is he?
Popo seems interesting, his horns are similar to an Oni, I guess. Up until now I’d have classified him as genie. More story on him would be great.
I would have liked more time with the full cast, but I guess it’s adventure time now.
Welcome to Daima where the lore is made up and the canon doesn’t matter!
I’ve been curious about Gohan as well. Why isn’t he at the party? I would think he would be considered an adult. As for Roshi, his eyebrows reverted color. Maybe he was just bald? Krillin lost his hair right? I also wanted more of the cast. I hope a lot of them travel on the second trip
I’ve wanted more Popo for so long. It makes me very happy they are putting a little focus on him. I’m really hoping he plays a bigger role in Daima
I would think he would be considered an adult. As for Roshi, his eyebrows reverted color. Maybe he was just bald? Krillin lost his hair right?
Krillin was bald bc he was a martial arts student and grew his hair out after abandoning that life, right? So it makes sense that Roshi would be bald at that age considering he was a martial arts student
I need to see if they show young Grandpa Gohan in the manga. I don’t believe shaving the head is a general martial arts thing, but particular to the (monks?) Krillin trained with. This is why he has the symbol on his forehead unless I’ve really mixed some shit up
What about Tien?
Gotta keep the hair out of his third eye
As for Roshi, his eyebrows reverted color. Maybe he was just bald?
Could be. I did remember him having hair in Dragon Ball, but apparently that’s filler. The manga only showed Roshi as a bald student under Mutaito.
That makes sense. He also lost his beard. It’s almost like it is halfway between children and chibi
Yeah, now I’m curious if 18 is still an android. Some things did change back, others seemingly didn’t.
Only Trunks and Goten got new cloths for example, which kinda makes sense. I would have loved the old Vegeta or Piccolo cloths. They got rid of facial hair, but other than Krillin, nobody changed their hair style. At the very least, I would have guessed Bulma would have a different hair style.
I hadn’t even considered 18. That’s a good question. Bulma had so many styles it’s a wonder they didn’t take this opportunity for a completely new one. Trunks and Goten are cracking me up. I love that they can still communicate. Throw back clothes would have been nice
I was confused about the dub release. It seems Netflix is streaming the sub, but it was assumed to have been the dub. The English dub will be making its premiere in theaters November 10-12. The run time is the length of all three episodes. They will not have separate episodes on separate days. I don’t see any solid date for streaming, but places online are guessing a couple of weeks after the theatrical release
