Dragon Ball Daima has been steady revealing all kinds of new information about the Demon Realm in the new anime series so far, and have created a major mystery with the reveal of the Supreme Kai’s original demon species, the Glind, in the latest episode. Dragon Ball Daima has officially crossed over into the Demon Realm with the latest episode of the anime, as the Supreme Kai and Goku have joined Glorio and headed to the Third Demon World to meet its king. While previous episodes revealed Kai’s ties to the demons, the latest episode shared a very concrete update.

It was already a shock to discover that the Namekians are indeed from the demon realmBut Dragon Ball Daima took it a step further with the reveal that all pointy-eared creatures are probably demons too. This even includes the Supreme Kai himself, as not only does he have a brother and sister living in the First Demon World, but he is now also confirmed to belong to a species of demon known as the “Glind” who have a very stiff reputation when it comes to how they are perceived by the other demons.

What are the Glinds?

Dragon Ball Daima Episode 3 brings Goku and the Supreme Kai completely in the Demon Realm. As Glorio explains, they had to go to the Third Demon World first (the final of three different worlds separated within the Demon Realm) because it is the only one they have permission to enter. The idea of ​​needing permission was already foreign to the Supreme Kai, along with the fact that he needed a PIN to enter certain areas, and it only makes him more cautious and wary around Glorio. On Glorio’s side, he doesn’t really seem to trust the Supreme Kai either.

It is later indicated why this is the case, as the Supreme Kai is surprised to see the Third Demon World and reveals that he has never been there before. Glorio hints that this is probably because he is a Glind, who once lived in the Second Demon World. Glorio then claims that the Kai’s “refined species” never really had a reason to go to the Third Demon World, and that leads to a greater mystery about this species in general, as they seem to be the ones who end up in the race to be a Supreme Kai for each of the given universes in the outer world.

How does this change the Supreme Kai?

The Supreme Kai is from a the demon race has already had some major consequences about what it means for the overall selection process to become the divine being of a universe, since his brother and sister remained in the Demon Realm while he was able to go to the outside world. The Supreme Kai has never revealed anything about his ties to the demons, and before Dragon ball tradition had suggested that all these creatures essentially blossomed from the same kind of tree. Despite all that, each character is still out for their own personal goals.

Now that it’s been revealed that the Supreme Kai is a Glind and that the Glind has a bad reputation among other demons, this will likely further complicate Goku and the others’ journey through the Demon Realm. There will likely be demons who disagree with the Glind (given their single-minded nature), and that could make this path a more difficult journey. Especially if only the Glind can become gods in the outside world. But if Dragon Ball Daima continues to reveal more about the Demon Realm, we will likely learn even more about the Supreme Kai’s origins and past.
