Although a collective set of worlds called the “Demon Realm” was never intended to be a paradise, Dragon Ball Daima quickly suggested its dystopian qualities. Although Goku has had his challenges blending in as a non-demon visitor, his other traveling companions share Demon World heritage, which would hypothetically make life easier for them.
