Dragon Ball DAIMAhas brought joy and excitement to the long-time fans of Toriyama, who appreciated the original tropes and style of theDragon Ballseries. By revisiting Goku’s childhood in a way that is both canon and true to its roots,DAIMAhas succeeded in impressing Toriyama’s final work.
In the latest episodes ofDragon Ball DAIMA, it is clear that the anime is subtly laying the groundwork for King Gomah’s ultimate plans. This seems like an interesting idea and matches the idea of the childlike wonder that the anime is focused on evoking.
The reveal may be likeOne Piece’sLoki reveal. Loki had a playful silhouette that belied a terrifying true form; Gomah is positioned as a figure far more dangerous than he initially seems as well. His quest and obsession with the legendary Evil Third Eye could mean that he is a pivotal antagonist, and his plans could mean a catastrophe and in no way be cute.
Hybis and the Hidden Threat of the Evil Third Eye
InDAIMA, Hybis is a typically overlooked character who sports a living eye on his belt, dismissing it as a “cool trinket.” But after the 9th Episode, fans drew parallels and suspected that the eye on his belt is actually the mythical Tertian Oculus.
This third eye is a powerful artifact that was lost during the rule of King Abura. If this artifact indeed does grant its wielder the ability to dominate the Demon Realm, it will make the unknowing Hybis’ role integral to the upcoming plot changes in the series.
In a striking parallel toOne Piece’sLoki, the giant had been given a seemingly chubby and cute figure during his arranged marriage chapters; however, later on, when Luffy met him, he was a terrifying giant that could in no way be called pleasing to the eye. The setting makes more sense now that there is aninnocent and naive kid in the picture, Goku.

There is something deeply intriguing about the way a perception shift affects the story. This mundane possession of Hybis can lead to a whirlwind of possibilities that takeDAIMA’sintention of havinglight-hearted and comedic settingsfurther.
King Gomah: A Threat in the Making
King Gomah’s first wish to de-age Goku and his friends was strategically clever (and it carries the show), but his second wish, the unfulfilled one reveals his true aspirations. Due to Dende’s transformation, it was unfulfilled, and his stubbornness is clear.
The reason he desperately wants the Evil Third Eye underscores his ambition to become the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm. His initial comedic portrayal and the moments of Gomah’s rage contradict as the fear he inspires in his own allies, like Dr. Arinsu and Degesu, reveals his terrible side.
The parallels with Loki’s transformation inOne Pieceare unmistakable. Both have characters initially appear disarming and quirky, seemingly for comic relief or as plot devices.Goku’s childlike personalitymight make the transition interesting and give it a new flavor.
Dragon Ball DAIMA Just Made a Niche Pokémon Reference and Thought We Wouldn’t Notice
But with time, their true potential and intentions are shown to be far more terrifying. For King Gomah, acquiring the Evil Third Eye could catalyze a transformation akin to Loki’s. As we remember, even Majin Buu was ridiculously cute before he transformed as well.
