As Goku, Shin, and Glorio explore more of the Third Demon World, they find a new ally in Dragon Ball DAIMA. Quick to reveal herself and remove her Great Saiyaman-style concealment, Panzy is the latest addition to the group intent on rescuing Dende and stopping Gomah’s drive for unchallenged leadership over the collective Demon Realm. In Dragon Ball DAIMA However, Panzy’s role is remarkably similar to Bulma’s, but there are some noteworthy quirks that help her stand out as a Demon Realm successor from Dragon Ball technology genius.
Panzy is another resident of the Majin, or Demon Realm, who shows off his eclectic skills in Dragon Ball DAIMAwith its capabilities including magic and mechanics. Panzy’s commonalities with Bulma don’t necessarily suggest conflict, but two brilliant minds from different worlds being able to mingle and share ideas. In Dragon Ball DAIMABulma and Panzy have the potential to get along, as the entire group comes together when the princess of the Third Demon World and the descendant of Capsule Corporation cross paths.
Panzy Introduces a Magical and Demonic Themed Twist for Bulma in Dragon Ball DAIMA
Demon Realm and Corporate Royalty will cross paths in Toriyama’s new anime
After Panzy’s introduction as the scrappy “Masked Majin” in Dragon Ball DAIMA episode #4, she is soon revealed to not only be the princess of the Third Demon World, but also have a self-proclaimed talent for tinkering with machines.. Any Dragon Ball fans will be able to recognize this as Bulma’s claim to fame in the series, but with Panzy’s refined knowledge of the Demon Realm’s machines and Bulma’s notable inventions like the Dragon Radar, her abilities may complement each other. The result shows potential for natural collaboration between worlds in Dragon Ball DAIMA.
Panzy’s gifts that set her apart, while not uncommon in the Demon Realm, include her Majin capabilities for magic, such as her demonstration of telekinesis in episode 5, as well as her royal heritage as the daughter of King Kadan. This brings a fascinating touch of Ox King and Chi-Chi style to Panzyas their connections will help bridge the gap between Goku and his friends, while also giving space for Bulma to contribute her insights, including Hoi-Poi capsules and other potential new technologies. With Capsule Corp’s miniaturization, Bulma can bring some magic-like Earthling scientific wonders to the table.
Panzy is Bulma’s successor in a simple way
The princess has a clear advantage
At 82 and still remarkably young with hundreds of years left in his life expectancy Panzy will be the new Bulma of the Demon Realm long after Bulma’s death. Despite Bulma’s comical use of the Dragon Balls to reverse her aging, as in Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroand although she was created to remain relevant throughout all forty years of the series’ canon, Panzy’s life allows her to take on the mantle of the Demon Realm’s counterpart. This allows her to coexist in canon alongside Bulma’s descendants, like Bulla, who are more poised to inherit her intelligence and position.
Panzy was written to be a young, sustainable iteration of Bulma, but without infringing on her or her family’s role in the franchise.
With Dragon Ball DAIMA position in the timeline showing little interaction with the Demon Realm in future arcs, Panzy was written to be a young, sustainable iteration of Bulma, but without infringing on her or her family’s role in the franchise. Their common points are much more convincing than any argument to claim that Bulma would become irrelevant with the introduction of Panzy.. But one funny point in Panzy’s story so far is an unavoidable point of interest for Bulma.
Bulma will want to know the secret of Panzy’s demonic kingdom to stay young
“The average life expectancy here is just 1,000 years”
With characters like Bulma and Chi-Chi appreciating how Gomah’s wish to shrink Goku and his friends helped her become younger again, Panzy and the Demon Realm’s resident Majin will be an inevitable fixation of hers. With Panzy confirming that the average life expectancy of his species is “only” a thousand years, and looking as young as a child at 82, Bulma will inevitably try to discover her genetic gifts in this regard. Although Bulma’s role in Dragon Ball DAIMA is certainly more relevant, this will be a fun conversation, true to its superficial character.
This rings especially true in cases like Dr. Arinsu in Dragon Ball DAIMAwho has also shown an interest in looking forever young, as Gomah goes in search of the Dragon Balls in episode 1. It’s a relatable desire for the continually aging original Dragon Ball the fanbase has become familiar with, and it could be a fun, recurring thread in the series. Regardless, Bulma and Panzy, two companions, are a welcome addition to Goku’s group in Dragon Ball DAIMA.
Dragon Ball DAIMA is the fifth series overall in the action-adventure anime franchise. It features most of the classic cast members as aged versions of themselves, including Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma. The series was announced at NYCC 2023, with creator Akira Toriyama returning to manage DAIMA.
