Introducing the characters of Gomah, Degetsu, Dr. Arisu and the Namekian Dean of the Demon World, Dragon Ball DAIMAis the direct sequel to the Boo arc and takes place before the events of Dragon Ball Super. Moreover, Akira Toriyama takes the opportunity to retcon a scene from the latter series. Indeed, in Dragon Ball Super, At the beginning of the Champa Tournament arc, it is revealed that Kaioshin and Kibito used the Dragon Balls so that Shenron would separate them after their use of the Potalas during the Boo arc. In Dragon Ball DAIMA, the two characters are present at Trunks' birthday and explain that they asked Boo to swallow them so that the gases present in his body would separate them.

Naturally, this change does not seem of primary importance; however, it will not fail to raise an eyebrow among connoisseurs. It may also testify to the creative process of the Dragon Ball saga. If the license has become over the volumes a pure action manga, Akira Toriyama loved gags. The reuse of the same comic situation – Gods taking advantage of the first opportunity to satisfy a prosaic desire compared to the intergalactic stakes of the series – was visibly too tempting for the mangaka. We forgive him obviously. Especially since, after watching the first episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA, we are certain that this series will be among the most memorable anime of the year, alongside DanDaDan.
