Dragon Ball DAIMA Just Made Gomah an Actual Threat
Supreme Demon King Gomah’s transformation with The Third Eye shifts the balance in Dragon Ball DAIMA, making him a new force to be reckoned with.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 16, "Degesu", now streaming on Crunchyroll.
The plot of Dragon Ball DAIMA has steadily built towards an epic finale, and Episode 16, titled "Degesu", marks a turning point with the unexpected rise of Supreme Demon King Gomah. As Goku and his friends continue to face formidable enemies in the First Demon World, it’s clear that Gomah, once considered a secondary threat, is now poised to become one of the most dangerous forces in the series.
When Gomah first appeared on The Lookout, he was introduced as a mysterious and powerful antagonist with a plan to shrink the heroes using Shenron, ensuring the Dragon Balls couldn’t be used against him. However, as the series progressed, he seemed to fade into the background, overshadowed by other villains like Dr. Arinsu and the Majins. Episode 16, however, has set the stage for Gomah to return with a vengeance, thanks to his acquisition of The Third Eye—a power that could completely change the game.
Gomah's Rise: The Power of The Third Eye
Gomah’s plot to gain control of The Third Eye, an artifact capable of enhancing his power, comes to fruition in this episode. After watching Degesu fail in his mission to capture Dende, Gomah takes matters into his own hands, receiving the power of The Third Eye through a reluctant trade. Once placed in the center of his forehead, Gomah undergoes a transformation that dramatically increases his size and strength, granting him power comparable to the legendary Abura. This newfound power makes Gomah a much more dangerous adversary, and he could very well be the biggest threat to Earth’s heroes in the series.
The transformation imbues Gomah with a force that might even rival iconic villains from the Dragon Ball universe, like Dabura, adding a new layer of complexity to the ongoing battle. As Gomah grows stronger, the stakes for Goku and the gang have never been higher, with the fate of their quest and Dende’s safety now hanging in the balance.
The Gendarmerie Force: A Brief but Impressive Challenge
Before Gomah's grand return, Goku and his allies had to face off against the Gendarmerie Force, a team of elite soldiers with extravagant combat styles reminiscent of the Ginyu Force. Though they initially put up a fight, their efforts were futile against the might of Vegeta, who dispatched them with ease. This quick battle allowed the heroes to continue their mission to rescue Dende, but it also highlighted the growing tension as they approached the First Demon World’s heart.
While the Gendarmerie Force was swiftly defeated, their brief appearance provided a satisfying action-packed sequence and set the stage for the looming conflict with Gomah. The heroes’ victory over the Gendarmerie allowed them to focus on their true objective: finding Dende and stopping the rise of Gomah’s newfound power.
The Final Countdown: Majin Kuu and Majin Duu Arrive
As if the challenges weren’t enough, the arrival of Majin Kuu and Majin Duu signals the escalation of the conflict. These powerful figures, along with Dr. Arinsu’s ongoing plot, create a perfect storm for the heroes to navigate. In the chaos, the group realizes that the Demon Realm Dragon Ball is missing, and the full scope of the danger becomes clear.
Meanwhile, Gomah, now armed with The Third Eye, prepares for a final showdown that could alter the fate of the universe. His transformation has not only elevated him as a true threat but also positioned him as a key player in the unfolding events. With the Dragon Balls scattered and powerful enemies closing in, Goku and his friends must face the full might of Gomah in the coming episodes.
Conclusion: Gomah's Role in the Show's Finale
Dragon Ball DAIMA has steadily built up the stakes, and Episode 16 marks a significant shift in the power dynamics. Supreme Demon King Gomah, once a minor threat, is now a major contender thanks to The Third Eye. As he grows stronger, it’s clear that the heroes will have to pull out all the stops to stop him and his forces.
With Majin Kuu and Majin Duu still lurking in the background, the upcoming episodes promise even more action, drama, and unexpected twists. Gomah’s rise to power is just the beginning, and it’s anyone’s guess how Goku and his friends will navigate the increasingly treacherous road ahead. The race to save Dende and restore the Dragon Balls has never been more urgent, and Gomah’s transformation into an actual threat is setting the stage for one of the most intense finales in Dragon Ball DAIMA.
