Will Daima End With Everyone Erasing Their Memories to Fit Super?
Exploring how Dragon Ball Daima could bridge its events with the continuity of Dragon Ball Super.
As much as I’m loving the twists and turns of Dragon Ball Daima, I can’t help but wonder how the series will reconcile its events with the continuity of Dragon Ball Super. After all, Super doesn’t reference any of the major developments in Daima—like Vegeta going Super Saiyan 3 or the unique explanation for how Kibito and Shin unfused. Could Daima conclude with everyone having their memories erased? It’s an intriguing idea that could tie things together, but would it be the best way to handle this disconnect?
The Continuity Challenge: Super vs. Daima
One of the biggest challenges for Daima is how its storylines fit—or don’t fit—within the timeline of Dragon Ball Super. For instance, during the Goku Black arc in Super, Kibito and Shin are still fused. Later, they explain that they used the Dragon Balls to undo the fusion. But Daima introduces a completely different explanation: they used Majin Buu’s gas inside his belly to counteract the fusion. This creates a glaring inconsistency that’s hard to ignore.
Another example is Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 transformation in Daima. While this was an incredible moment for fans, it raises the question: why doesn’t Vegeta ever mention achieving this form in Super? It’s these discrepancies that make me wonder if Daima will ultimately use a memory wipe to explain why none of its events are ever acknowledged in Super.
The Absence of Majin Rymus in Super
Another notable discrepancy between Daima and Super is the complete absence of Majin Rymus from any discussions among deities or gods. Despite being introduced as a pivotal character in Daima, Whis, Beerus, and even the Kais make no mention of Rymus in Super. This omission raises questions about whether the events of Daima are deliberately overlooked in Super, further fueling speculation about a potential memory wipe or a narrative device to explain the disconnect. If Majin Rymus is such a significant figure, why wouldn’t the gods acknowledge his existence? It’s a fascinating inconsistency that leaves room for creative resolution.
Could a Memory Wipe Be the Solution
The idea of erasing everyone’s memories to align Daima with Super isn’t without precedent. In the Dragon Balluniverse, memory wipes have been used before—think of how the Dragon Balls were used to make the world forget about Majin Buu’s existence. It’s a convenient tool for resolving continuity issues, but it comes with its own set of drawbacks.
If Daima ends with a memory wipe, it could neatly explain why characters like Vegeta and Kibito-Shin never reference these events in Super. However, it also risks undermining the emotional weight of the series. All the growth, battles, and relationships developed in Daima would essentially be erased, leaving fans to question the significance of everything they watched.
A Possible Alternate Explanatio
Instead of resorting to a memory wipe, Daima could explore alternative ways to reconcile its story with Super. One possibility is that Kibito and Shin could fuse back together by choice after the events of Daima. This would align with their fused state in Super while still preserving Daima’s unique explanation for their initial defusion.
As for Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 transformation, the series could acknowledge it as a temporary power-up that Vegeta chose not to pursue further. Perhaps the strain of maintaining Super Saiyan 3 wasn’t worth the benefits, especially with the advent of God Ki and transformations like Super Saiyan Blue. By framing it this way, Daima could justify why Vegeta never mentions the form in Super without diminishing the impact of the moment in Daima.
The Role of Daima in the Larger Dragon Ball Universe
Another way to think about this is to view Daima as a standalone story that doesn’t need to perfectly align with Super. While continuity is important, the Dragon Ball franchise has always had room for spin-offs and alternate interpretations. Look at Dragon Ball GT—it exists in its own timeline and is still loved by many fans for its unique take on the series.
If Daima embraces its role as a self-contained story, it could avoid the pressure of having to perfectly fit into the Supertimeline. This approach would allow the series to focus on delivering a compelling narrative without being bogged down by continuity issues.
Final Thoughts: How Should Daima End?
As a fan, I’d prefer Daima to find a way to honor its story without resorting to a memory wipe. While it’s a convenient solution, it risks cheapening the emotional investment fans have made in the series. Instead, Daima could use creative storytelling to bridge its events with Super, whether through additional context, character choices, or framing itself as a standalone narrative.
Ultimately, Daima has been a joy to watch, and I’m excited to see how it concludes. Whether it aligns perfectly with Super or carves its own path, I trust the creators to deliver an ending that honors the legacy of Dragon Ball. What do you think? Should Daima erase its events to fit with Super, or is there a better way to handle the continuity? Let’s keep the discussion going!
I agree with you I don't want them to do a memory wipe I want to see daima and super connect because it adds more dimensions to the story and it will also help with this 10-year time skip they're stuck in and I would love to see them make some references to daima whenever super comes back so in conclusion I do not want to see a memory wipe
