Dragon Ball DAIMA
A swelled moment inDragon Ball Daimaepisode # 6 that arouse a tidy sum of fans might have been well executed visually , but it actually perpetuates a major issue with the franchise that the young series must speak in the coming episodes . In an attempt to test himself to Goku , the mysterious Majin Glorio challenges him to a duel , but is easily defeated whenkid Goku translate into a Super Saiyan . Goku ’s ability to unlock this translation in kid material body was also a major grudge among critic when it first pass off in the controversialDragon Ball GTseries .
One of the initial appeals ofGT , and nowDaima , was that by Goku becoming a kid again , the Saiyan ’s intensity could fall or , in the best - display case scenario , no longer accomplish Super Saiyan . Many sports fan doubtless get hold this prospect appealing since it would have required Goku to win battle without relying on any of his A-one Saiyan forms . Now inDaima , Goku has already establish that he can transform , and it allow him to easily best Glorio in battle just like almost every other fight inDragon Ball .
Goku Couldn’t Transform Into a Super Saiyan as a Child, So Why Can Kid Goku Transform?
Gomah’s Plan Is Not as Effective as It Seemed
DuringGT ’s original broadcast , fans had more of a reason to be aggravated by the prospect of Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan when he combat the villain General Rilldo . If Goku could n’t translate when he was a kid , then he should n’t be able to do so now after Pilaf ’s wish made him one again . However , this was explain much later whenDragon Ballcreator Akira Toriyama provided the controversial retcon of S - Cellsmuch later in 2018 . In the new canon , Saiyans can transform once they have a sure phone number of these cadre , which are dependent on both fight power and a Saiyan ’s attitude .
With that extra context , it create good sense that Goku could transubstantiate into a Super Saiyan even as a Thomas Kyd inDaimaandGT , since it ’s unconvincing that his becoming a kid would cause him to lose any of the S - cells he gained later on in life story . However , this does not change the fact that this is a heavy escape opportunity for the new serial . As look in the conflict against Glorio , Goku is clear stronger than anything that the Demon World has have at him until now . Super Saiyan just pee-pee things bad , even if it was unbelievable that the dealership got disembarrass of such an iconic aspect .
Daima Could Have Made Super Saiyan More Difficult for Goku
The Protagonist Needs More Hurdles on His Path
That said , Daimahad already introduced a construct in earlier episode that would have easily explained why Goku could n’t achieve Super Saiyan . As to begin with explained by Glorio , the Third Demon World ’s unique atmosphereaffects everyone ’s movements . It could have been very plausible to say that the atmosphere also made it more hard for Goku to transform , thus adding at least a vault to his way . Moreover , this could have been link tothe infamous force displayed by Majin Buu , who can disrupt Fusions with the gases inside his soundbox . As Buu ’s lineage are also bind to the Demon Realm , it would not have been absurd to give that reality ’s standard atmosphere another " nerfing " power .
However , much like how Goku already managed to easily get over these limit in battle , this unique surroundings has no negative burden on his power to transmute into a Super Saiyan . There ’s still a chance thatDragon Ball Daimacould introduce some fresh complicatedness that keep Goku from transforming , thus making it so he no longer has to rely on his Super Saiyan transformation in fight . But until then , fan will just have to endure yet anotherDragon Ballstory or arc whereGokuis overly powerful even though he ’s a kid again .
