You and I take it for granted that Goku is the strongest hero in the world. In fact, we have been reminded at the beginning of every episode of Dragon Ball Daima broadcast to date. But is he also the most powerful being in the Demon Realm? Precisely that is the big question that the seventh chapter of the series raises. An episode that, for all intents and purposes, serves as a prologue for the first big fight of this season and what is at stake is no small thing: the three star dragon ball.
The formula that follows the episode “Collar” of Dragon Ball Daima It does not derail from what we have already seen for most of the footage: intermixing elements that we already liked, new ideas and, between one thing and another, reinventing something that we took for granted. All this conveniently agitated and without giving up two non-negotiable elements: offering the viewer at least one battle and the protagonist of the adventure a good meal that leaves him satiated. Or two.
However, neither Akira Toriyama as scriptwriter nor Toei Animation as responsible for the animation lose perspective of what is and what should be. Dragon Ball Daima: in “Collar” the dots raised since the inaugural episode begin to be tied up while the events are properly channeled towards what the project was always called to be: a new journey to find the dragon balls in which improvised action and simple humor are always at the service of the fan. Especially when that means getting little Son Goku into new trouble.
Because it is undeniable to feel that the minutes of footage of Dragon Ball Daima They run out too quickly when a big, long-awaited event is going to break out and, suddenly, we are invited to continue the plot next week. But before that, it is time to remember the essential thing: this is how the work of Dragon Ball has always worked both on paper, when it began to be published in Shonen Jump forty years ago, and not long after on television at the rate of a new episode. every seven days. Something that Japanese fans know very well, but a chore for those of us who get used to watching an episode a day since we were children.
Guaranteed action in every episode
Given that, a reasonable doubt: is it worth speeding up the events of this series and focusing solely on the action? What I am clear about is that Goku's detours and his particular “gastronomic route” through the Third Demon World are what gives nuance and novelty to the entire initiative. Unintentionally managing to become a kind of tourist on this great stage through their eyes.
Because, perhaps, Goku is the strongest in the Outer Kingdom and we are about to find out if he will also be the strongest in the Demon Kingdom, but seeing him do his original antics and recover that innocent spirit, many of us have become children again. Exactly like him. With those sensations covered, we now also want to feel the thrill of their epic battles in the next episode.
What happened so far…
He may be the strongest in the universe, but Goku is still as mischievous and fun as a child.
Believe it or not, Goku is in the middle of a journey the Demon Realm accompanied by Kaio Shinthe supreme god of the universe, but the most incredible thing of all is not that, but that both have recovered their childlike appearance. And although the little saiyan has lost some strength in the process, his appetite for fighting powerful beings and his thirst for new adventures is about to be quenched. Besides his stomach, of course.
The story told in short is that not long after the battle against Majin Bu, the new ruler of the three demon worlds started a conspiracy to use the dragon balls on Earth. The newly appointed King Gomahwho is a powerful sorcerer, used – or rather wasted – the desire for these magical spheres to transform all the heroes of Dragon Ball in children, but he has taken the being that gave them their power to his world with the intention of creating his own.
Given that, Goku recovers his magic staff and, together with Shin, begins a rescue in this new world. But, of course, faced with this they run into two problems: where to start and how is it possible to get there? Divine providence causes his destiny to cross that of two inhabitants of the Kingdom of Demons: the pilot Glory with great combat skills and the young princess (and mechanical expert) Panzy.
“¡¡Pan Paka Paan!!”
As expected, with Goku fascinated by the adversities of this world, and restless by the injustices he sees, It doesn't take long for this small group to find themselves involved in trouble.so the royal guard of Gomah, the gendarmerie of the Demon Kingdom, has put our little hero on the hunt and capture. And that is synonymous with problems and setbacks. Nothing that we can solve with a couple of blows of the cane and some well-placed kicks, it must be said.
And now what? Since the Demon Realm is divided into three worlds and our protagonists have a long journey ahead of them, Goku and his companions decide to take a shortcut, take the initiative and gather the three original dragon balls of this strange and hostile dimension. Do they work the same as those on Earth? At first, it is not enough to find their whereabouts, as some powerful beings called tamagamis They guard them and until now no one has been able to defeat them. And that, whether you like it or not, makes the hero of this adventure a little more excited.
If you are a fan of Dragon Ballthe next question asks itself: where are Vegeta or Piccolo? The truth is that little Goku began the trip in a hurry, but after several complications, both of them, now children, have arrived at the Demon Kingdom with Bulma who seems to be happy to have suddenly become younger. And although the first two have lost a part of their amazing strength, she is still that adventurer and scientist capable of making a difference. Something that, we assume, will be essential in this new story.
Daima Encyclopedia: The Magic Necklaces of the Demon Realm
Dr. Arinsu, the scientist of the first Demon World, holding a magical necklace
Every week we add a new entry to the encyclopedia of Dragon Ball Daima that accompanies our criticisms, and if we have talked about powerful beings, gods of the universe and somewhat abstract concepts, today it is time to address a relatively simple but substantial topic to understand what the inhabitants of the demonic Kingdom are like: the magic necklaces.
Every Majin and every civilized inhabitant (beasts don't count) of the demonic Third World wears a necklace. Some have it visible and others, like Panzy, prefer to hide it with scarves or clothing. However, everyone must show it by order and order of the Royal Army. The reason? It is a control device that is placed on them at birth.
“The Majins who are born in the third world, the army takes them and puts these collars on them. If you don't let them, they kill you. They are strange collars. They increase in size as we grow.” Panzy. Dragon Ball Daima 1×07.
Using their staffs on these necklaces, members of the Gomah army can locate and track every inhabitant of the Demon Realm, as well as identify them or have them registered. We also know that they can use them against their bearers, serving as elements of pressure and punishment. Precisely for this reason, no one likes to wear them and they are a symbol of involuntary submission. So, Why don't they take them off?
Panzy hides her magical necklace with her signature scarf
The creation of magical necklaces is attributed to Dr. Their familythe scientist sister of Kaio Shin and who also belongs to the Glind race. However, and as you can guess from their name, they do not use technology, but magic. As a result, these cannot be loosened or extracted by force or common magical arts. The reason? They are all made of the hardest material in the universe.
Magic necklaces are made of metal cutchinalso called Katchintite, which is mainly extracted from the planet Kaishin. For reference, this is the same material that Goku and the Kaios threw at Son Gohan during his training with the holy sword before the climax of the Majin Bu saga.
Goku is impressed by the hardness of a huge cube made of Katchin metal, shown in Chapter 478 of the Dragon Ball manga.
With everything, and despite the fact that Katchintite is a very hard metalthese magical necklaces worn by the inhabitants of the demonic third world always fit the wearer's neck from birth and during growth. Something like the armor of Frieza's army. However, even though they were thought to be indestructible, there is a way to break them.
In Dragon Ball Daima It is indicated that the inhabitants of the Demon Kingdom were already condemned to wear magical necklaces before the rise of King Gomah and that they even wore them when the previous King Dábra was on the throne. And although it was thought impossible to nullify their magic or destroy them, Earth's Kaio Shin demonstrated that there is a simple Glind spell that anyone can master and is capable of destroying them. Something that, in all probability, lights the spark of a rebellion that is already latent.
