Approaching the First Demon World Showdown in Dragon Ball DAIMA
Dragon Ball DAIMA is reaching a critical juncture in the quest for the Demon Realm Dragon Balls. After Goku and Vegeta successfully defeated two out of three Tamagamis, they find themselves entangled in a greater scheme. Meanwhile, Supreme Demon King Gomah makes frantic efforts to secure the entrance to the First Demon World, seeking elite reinforcements just as Dr. Arinsu puts her own plans into motion in Episode 14, “Taboo”. As the story unfolds, one of Earth’s unexpected allies is poised to deliver a shocking betrayal.
Glorio, introduced in the second episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA, initially appeared as a helpful companion, guiding Goku to the Demon Realm. While Supreme Kai remains suspicious of Glorio, the character has cleverly maintained his cover, secretly communicating with Dr. Arinsu. With the assistance of Majin Duu, she has already acquired the coveted One-Star Demon Realm Dragon Ball. As the heroes make their way to the First Demon World, they may be closer to real danger than they suspect.
As Glorio guides the group towards the Warp-sama to facilitate their entry into the First Demon World, tensions rise. Panzy contacts Peral for updates for her father, while Bulma learns of King Kadan’s attempt to commandeer a plane. In a clever negotiation, she offers planes in exchange for Majilite, setting the stage for an upcoming clash, despite Gomah’s preparations for all possible outcomes.
Gomah has taken drastic measures by disabling the Warp-sama and mobilizing an elite team known as the Gendarmerie Force. This group is humorously depicted indulging in snacks while ignoring grave warnings about their opponents, who have bested both Majin Buu and the Tamagamis. Their lighthearted antics, reminiscent of the Ginyu Force, distract them from the imminent danger, culminating in a comical meeting with Majin Duu and Majin Kuu, centered around their mutual love for chocolate.
When Goku and his companions finally arrive at the Warp-sama, they confront the reality that it has been disabled and are met with dangerous electrified shields blocking the paths between the three Demon Worlds. In a moment of comic relief, Goku’s impulsive idea to poke the shield with his Power Pole results in an amusing self-electrocution. Fortunately, Neva emerges as a savior, revealing that she originally created these shields to promote peace in the Second Demon World. She skillfully recites a spell, potentially in Namekian, which dispels the barriers, enabling Glorio and his friends to pass through the tunnel.
As concerns about the plane’s viability grow upon entry into the First Demon World, the group decides to take the final leg of their journey by flight. Supreme Kai, Goku, Piccolo, and Panzy exit the aircraft, while Bulma realizes she can’t fly. She instructs Hybis to secure the Dragon Balls before Vegeta helps her out. This leaves Glorio and Hybis as the last to leave the plane. As they descend, the Gendarmerie’s attention shifts toward their arrival, leading to Gomah’s forces opening fire on them. This climactic ending to Episode 14, “Taboo”, positions Glorio as a strategic double-agent, bringing Dr. Arinsu closer to success. Should Glorio leverage the ensuing chaos to seize both Demon Realm Dragon Balls and possibly take Neva with him, the upcoming episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA could unleash even more thrilling developments.
