Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta is bringing Daima well-deserved praise
Dragon Ball Daimawhile it's a celebration of the adventurous spirit that defined the franchise in its early days, has been somewhat divisive within the fan base. Some felt the series' return to its roots was a fun nostalgic tribute to Toriyama's masterpiece, while others criticized the anime's lack of action. However, it seems Daima is ready to prove your deniers wrong by introducing the surprising and incredibly exciting Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta.
Fans have already taken to social media to express their satisfaction with Daimathe last revelation and, in response, the first merchandise arrived. The figure's pose and expression are reminiscent of the prince's overly confident Super Vegeta form, while his massive hair does not fall as low as Goku's in the same transformation. Much like Beast Gohan's exaggerated hair, Vegeta's hair sticks out rather than flowing freely like the other two Super Saiyan 3 users in the series.

Daimahowever, to the delight of countless Vegeta fans, Vegeta finally gets it right with his second main Saiyan, allowing him to achieve a major victory for the first time in several years. The fight with Tamigami #2 is a high-energy fight, but where the franchise would normally find a reason for Vegeta to lose and let Goku clean up the mess, the prince powers up to Super Saiyan 3 and takes care of business.
