A shocking twist from Dragon Ball Daima episode 1 could have been in the works for many years, as proven by a small detail.

Dragon Ball Daima isn’t conquering Netflix, as another anime show is rising up the streaming service’s charts instead, heralding a potential sea change.

Dragon Ball Daima arrives after the latest series, Dragon Ball Super, but the good news is that you won't be penalized here if you've missed that series. This new series is more directly tied to the main Dragon Ball Z continuity and takes place shortly after the conclusion of the Maijin Buu saga.

In the first two Dragon Ball Daima episodes, most of the Z-Fighters have been featured in some capacity. Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and their allies have been featured in the brief days following the defeat of Kid Buu but one hero has been kept under wraps despite their major influence in the Buu Saga.

Sparking! Zero's first wave of DLC will see Daima's Vegeta Mini and Glorio join the anime arena fighter's massive roster.

For now, fans do not know. Dragon Ball Daima Episode 2 could end up revealing to the fans why Glorio goes against them, and how he eventually gets to Goku. Given that the entire episode is named after him, fans can expect a backstory of this character, or, at the very least, glimpses of his past.

It’s a sequel to Dragon Ball Z, but a prequel to Super, setting Daima in one of the rare places in the canon where we don’t actually have much information about what Goku and friends were up to. And if you haven’t kept up with Dragon Ball since Z ended in 2003,

The late, great Akira Toriyama's final Dragon Ball project proves he still had tricks, humor, and unique eye for continuity up his sleeve.

Netflix (One season, One episode): Watch for free with a subscription. Dragon Ball DAIMA has one season available to watch, having aired one episode with seven yet to go live. Episode 2 of Dragon Ball DAIMA will air at 8:00 PM ET on Friday, October 25.
