Dragon Ball really seriously nerfed Goku (but he’s still going to get stronger)

Dragon Ball Daima has finally brought Goku to the Demon Realmand with that he has received a major nerf in his power that he will have to overcome throughout the series. But after all, Goku will probably still become much stronger even with this major de-buff. Dragon Ball Daima has steadily begun a brand new adventure for Goku, as he and the rest of his friends and family have been turned into children after the battle against Majin Buu. But with a new villain making his debut, Goku has come to the land of demons.

Dragon Ball Daima had been spent first few episodes introducing the new characters from the Demon Realm and building up the scope of what this new Goku adventure entails. But even though Goku’s body turning into a small one has already brought a lot of problems, the latest episode of the anime has revealed how it’s going to bother Goku even more. The air and environment in the Third Demon World make Goku’s body move more slowly. But while this will hurt Goku for the time being, it will only help him later as he works to overcome his limits.

Dragon Ball Daima limits Goku’s power

It is explained that this is the Demon Realm further divided into three different Demon Worlds. As Glorio takes Goku and the Supreme Kai to the Third Demon World, it is revealed that it is not too visually different from Earth. But it is clear that the ecology and the living things within it will be radically different. This is especially true of the air around it, as it is constantly saturated with a mysterious, but harmless gas. Glorio says it’s harmless, but it makes the air around them all heavy.

Goku realizes that this gas makes it difficult for the air to move, making him much slower. The gas comes from volcanoes floating in the sky, and they are so abundant and bothersome that Glorio simply can’t fly his ship too close unless his ship takes damage (and explains why they can’t just fly straight to where they are). destination). Goku then sees how this air blocks everything else, as shown by arrows by some bandits that also fly slowly through the air (and thus easier to dodge). But as fans know well enough by now, even if the air holds him back, Goku will figure out how to move.

How Goku is going to get stronger no matter what

Goku is already dealing with being weaker as he steadily adjusts to his new center of balance and measures the reach of his limbs. but he made up for it by bringing back his Power Pole. And this new environment will play out in much the same way as Goku finds a way to master moving in it. Goku will eventually discover his new body and environment, and as shown later in the episode, he is still very skilled in battle and takes down a few new enemies with ease. Probably not as easy as it used to be, but certainly better than expected.

Just as Goku trained in higher gravity levels to make himself stronger, his movement in this slower environment will only make his body stronger. Goku’s quick adjustments will eventually do that led to him being able to activate Super Saiyan in this younger bodyand this environment will be the perfect way to secretly make him stronger through his new adventure. When Goku eventually reaches the other demon worlds, he will be ready for whatever greater threats arise on the horizon.
