How Dragon Ball Daima makes the Demon Realm the biggest part of the franchise

Dragon Ball's New Real Demon Knowledge Explained

Dragon Ball Daima episode 10 was another episode packed with lore about the history of the Demon Realm, and it has major implications for the overarching franchise. According to Shin, in time immemorial, the Good Supreme Demon King, the original ruler of the Demon Realm, sought to expand his territory and thus summoned the power of a being called Super Majin Rymus. Rymus used his power to create what would eventually become the multiverse and because of this the whole Dragon ball universe exists as an extension of the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm's importance to the overarching narrative goes even further than that. After Rymus created the multiverse, not only did countless demons leave the Demon Realm, thus making a countless number of races descend from demons, but Rymus personally selected members of the Glind race to oversee the new universes, thus beginning their roles. as Supreme Kais. . This means that beyond the base of the multiverse, all cosmology Dragon ballThe scenario stems from the actions of those connected to the Demon Realmadding another layer of complexity to the overall reveal.

These revelations not only add much more importance to the Demon Realm, beyond just being the setting for Dragon ballthe last story, but it means that after almost a decade, Dragon ball revealed that there are characters far above Zeno and the Angels in terms of power and authority due to the existence of the Good Supreme Demon King and Super Majin Rymus. The hierarchy of power in Dragon ball completely changed thanks to Dragon Ball Daimaand the fact that there could be even more changes of this magnitude in the future makes this even better.

Dragon Ball tried to make the demonic realm important long before Daima

The Demon Realm has always been part of the extended Dragon Ball franchise

Although the Demon Realm was merely a footnote in the original anime and manga, spin-off stories like Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Super Dragon Ball Heroes have often used the Demon Realm and its inhabitants for their plots, most notably Dabura's sister Towa, his partner Mira, and their son, the recurring Dragon ball villain Fu. These stories and others are not canonical, but they show that Dragon ball has been trying to make the Demon Realm important long before Dragon Ball Daima made it a central part of the traditionwith Daima being, ultimately, the final result of all this work.

Nothing that's been done with the Demon Realm before Dragon Ball Daima it should be canon, but that doesn't mean it has zero influence on anything. Arinsu, for example, plays a similar role to Towa as a demon scientist associated with Dabura, and by that logic, Arinsu's personal Majin, Majin Kuu, can be seen as a new version of Fu, the two characters even having a similar naming scheme. . Dragon Ball DaimaThe new lore surrounding the Demon Realm takes inspiration from what non-canonical works did with itand that's great to see for anyone who's a fan of theirs.

Dragon Ball Daima's Demon Realm Lore Is the Final Payoff for the Majin Buu Saga

Dragon Ball Daima continues to make the Majin Buu saga even better

The best part about Dragon Ball DaimaThe massive expansion of the Demon Realm lore is how it creates the final payoff for the Majin Buu saga. Even though it is already 30 years old, the Majin Buu saga is still one of the most controversial parts of Dragon ballbut now, Dragon Ball Daima making the Demon Realm so important to Dragon balllore retroactively makes the Majin Buu saga, the arc that introduced the Demon Realm, even more important than beforewhich is the perfect way to rectify the bad reputation it has had for so many years.

All of this, of course, is an extension of everything Dragon Ball Daima was already doing with the Majin Buu saga. Between the Demon Realm and the new tradition surrounding the Supreme Kais, Daima clearly fits in as a sort of sequel to the Majin Buu saga, so the elevated importance of the Demon Realm fully solidifies the idea that Dragon Ball Daima is trying to make the Majin Buu saga retroactively more important. This is great for anyone who really likes the Majin Buu saga, and hopefully this won't be the last such development.

Will the Demon Realm continue to play a role in Dragon Ball after Daima?

What does the future of Dragon Ball hold for the Demon Realm?

The Demon Realm is bigger than ever thanks to Dragon Ball DaimaBut that doesn't mean it will stay that way. The hiatus of Dragon Ball Super manga aside, Daima takes place just a year after the Majin Buu saga, but the Demon Realm was barely mentioned in the stories that take place after it. The lack of references to the Demon Realm in the stories that take place later Dragon Ball Daima means it may not be important later Daima endsand that would be disappointing after all the work done so far.

That being said, it is highly unlikely that the Demon Realm will be forgotten after Daima. Don't know what the future holds Dragon ballbut everything that's been done with Demon Realm makes it clear that Akira Toriyama wanted it to be important, so hopefully the Demon Realm will continue to be an important part Dragon ball anyway it continues after Daima. Seeing all the work put into Demon Realm is a great demonstration of what made Akira Toriyama's writing so great, and there's sure to be even more of that in Dragon Ball Daimafrom now on.
