What happened in episode 7 of Dragon Ball Daima?
Vegeta’s group reached the third demonic world
As mentioned above, Goku’s group was stopped and searched by the Gendarmerie, forcing them to fight their way out when the Gendarmerie tried to take Panzy. Goku, Supreme Kai, and Glorio put on an impressive display, even shooting down some Gendarmerie planes, although their own plane was destroyed in the process. Stealing a Gendarmerie plane, Goku and company. They made their way to Tamagami Number Three’s location with ease, finally giving Goku the chance to see one of these dangerous warriors up close before challenging him.
Goku’s group didn’t become the sole focus in this episode. Bulma discovered that the Supreme Kai’s ship was beyond repair, much to her frustration. That’s when Hybis, who was sent to rescue Vegeta’s group, arrived on Earth and took Bulma, Vegeta, and Piccolo back with him to the Third Demon World. It may take some time to catch up with Goku’s group, depending on exactly where they entered the Third Demon World, but it is only a matter of time before the two groups are united and are able to work together to defeat Tamagami and Gomah.
What to expect from episode 8 of Dragon Ball Daima
Goku fights Tamagami number three
Episode #8 of Dragon Ball Daima is titled “Tamagami” and appropriately features Goku facing off against his first Tamagami, who happens to possess the three-star Dragon Ball. Goku is in for a big fight, as the Tamagami has a tremendous size advantage over him, as well as a huge weapon in the form of a hammer, which, as Goku notes, can crush him in an instant. It was said in episode #7 that even Demon King Dabura was unable to defeat Tamagami, putting his power level quite high.
Goku seems very interested in pushing himself and challenging Tamagami alone, not wanting to wait until they meet up with Vegeta’s group to face the enemy. Goku’s small size can become an advantage in this battle, as it will allow him to move and dodge much more quickly, and generally make him a harder target to hit. The preview showed that Goku won’t hold back, using his Power Pole as needed to trip his opponent and gain the upper hand. It may very well take all of Goku’s strength to overcome this enemy, and there will still be two more to face after this one if he succeeds.
As always, everything depends on Goku’s strength in this upcoming battle, with his plan (and Goku’s life) at stake. This is without a doubt the most important episode Dragon Ball Daima so far, so it’s definitely one fans won’t want to miss.
