Dragon Ball Daima: Why It’s More Than a Side Story
Connecting Daima to Dragon Ball Super’s Canon and Expanding the Universe
Dragon Ball Daima: Connecting the Dots with Dragon Ball Super
Proving how Daima ties into Super's story and expands the Dragon Ball universe
Dragon Ball Daima has sparked plenty of debates among fans, with many calling it a non-canon side story. But honestly, the evidence makes it pretty clear that Daima is deeply connected to Dragon Ball Super. From Bardock’s portrayal to Namekian lore and the multiverse concept, Daima feels like it’s expanding on what Super started. Let me explain why I think this connection is solid and why Daima isn’t just some random spin-off.
Goku and Bardock: A Direct Connection to Super
Right from the start, Daima shows its ties to Super by focusing on Goku and Bardock. The version of Bardock we see lines up perfectly with how he was portrayed in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, showing his protective side and connection to his family. This isn’t just a random throwback—it’s a clear nod to the modern take on Bardock’s character. It’s like they’re saying, “Yes, this is part of the same story,” and it reinforces how important Bardock’s actions were to Goku’s journey.
Namekian Origins: Expanding on Super’s Mysteries
The Namekian history in Daima is another big link to Super. There’s this scene where they talk about their origins from another realm and wonder about lost settlements far from Planet Namek. This ties directly into what Super revealed about the Namekians’ interdimensional roots and their connection to the Dragon Balls. Daima takes it a step further, hinting that there’s even more to uncover about their past. It’s like the show is picking up where Super left off, giving us more pieces to the puzzle.
Numbered Universes: Strengthening the Multiverse Narrative
The multiverse concept introduced in Super is another major thread that Daima picks up. The whole idea of numbered universes became a big deal during the Tournament of Power, and Daima keeps it going by showing Hybis mention Universe 7 in his dialogue. As you may know we had no idea about the numbered Universe concept until Dragon Ball Super. This isn’t just a casual mention—it’s building on the foundation Super set, exploring what’s possible within the multiverse. For me, this solidifies that Daima is connected to Super, not some standalone project.
The Supreme Kai of Other Universes: Revisiting Super’s Cosmic Lore
Daima also brings back the Supreme Kais from other universes, which is another big callback to Super. We first saw these characters in Super, where they played a key role in keeping their universes balanced. Daima doesn’t just reference them—it dives deeper into their interactions and shows how important they are in the grand scheme of things. It’s another example of how Daima expands on ideas introduced in Super, making it feel like part of the same ongoing story.
Why Daima Is Canonically Significant
Here’s the thing: Dragon Ball Daima isn’t just a random side story. It builds on the themes and ideas from Super, like Bardock’s legacy, the multiverse, and the Namekians’ mysterious history. We also learn more about how the multiverse outside the demon realm came to be. These connections make it clear that Daima is part of the larger Dragon Ball saga, not just an entertaining detour. The way it ties into Super’s narrative feels intentional and well-thought-out.
Daima’s Place in the Dragon Ball Universe
Dragon Ball Daima really feels like a bridge between the past and the future of the franchise. By rooting itself in the lore and ideas from Super, it shows that there’s still so much more to explore in this universe. Whether it’s Bardock’s story, the Namekian lore, or the multiverse, Daima proves that Dragon Ball isn’t done surprising us. For anyone questioning whether it’s legit, the proof is right there. Daima isn’t just worth watching—it’s a must-watch for anyone who loves the deeper lore of Dragon Ball.
