The anime “Dragon Ball Daima” will reach its end on February 28, just four months after its premiere. What was supposed to be a great celebration for the quadragent anniversary of the franchise, ended up becoming a great disappointment for many Japanese fans. In networks and in specialized forums, the comments do not stop and most coincide with the same: «Dragon Ball GT was definitely better».

From the announcement of the final episode, the forums have been lit with criticism and comparisons. «Just 20 episodes? Even the fights in Dragon Ball Z lasted more»A user jokes. Others say that history felt unnecessarily slow to be so short: «It seems that they tried to stretch a plot of 10 episodes in 20. A lot of stuffing, little action».
And of course, if we talk about comparisons, “Dragon Ball GT “is on everyone's lips:” Wasn't GT supposed to? Well, compared to this, it is a work of art», Says someone. «At least GT gave us Super Saiyan 4, what did Daima left us? Nothing, ”criticizes another.
One of the most critical points is the main villain, rubber. «It's like a Aliexpress Jiren», Says a disappointed fanatic. «It imposes nothing, it doesn't even look like a real threat»He continued. There were also complaints about the lack of tension in the fighting: «In Z we had Freezer, Cell, Majin Buu … here the enemies do not even want to fight seriously. There is no sense of danger».
With the death of Akira Toriyama in March 2024, many wonder if that had something to do with the closure of the series. «Did Toriyama died and Toei decided to cut everything?», A user wonders. But others remember that the series was already finished before its premiere: «From the beginning they said they were 20 episodes. It is not that they canceled it, it is that it was short».
Another recurring complaint is that the characters never returned to their adult form. «In GT, at least Goku returned to its normal size with Super Saiyan 4. Here, nothing», Says someone. «Seeing Vegeta and Píchoro hiding from shooting was the most ridiculous I have seen», Add another fan. With this series ending, some believe that it is time to let the franchise rest. «It is getting worse. Super had his moments, but this no longer feels like Dragon Ball», A user thinks. «Between GT, Super and Daima, I don't know which is worse», Says another.
