Dragon Ball Daima [Season 1 Episode 7 – Collar]

Dragon Ball Daima Episode 7 – “Collar”: A Fresh Yet Familiar Adventure

Dragon Ball Daima continues to surprise fans with its unique take on the beloved franchise, and Episode 7, titled Collar, is no exception. This episode, which aired on November 22, 2024, dives deeper into the Demon Realm’s mysteries while delivering the classic humor and action that fans adore. But what do viewers really think? Let’s break it down.

The Plot Unfolds

The episode kicks off with Bulma troubleshooting Shin’s Demon Realm Plane, which refuses to take off. The problem? A missing mineral essential for the ship’s energy converter—one that doesn’t exist on Earth but is abundant in the Demon Realm. Meanwhile, Goku and the gang stumble upon Panzy, a young girl trapped by a magical collar. The Supreme Kai, Shin, steps in to free her, showcasing his rarely seen combat skills.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, teasing an upcoming battle between Goku and Tamagami Number 3—a fight that has fans buzzing with anticipation.

Fan Reactions: The Good, The Bad, and The Hilarious

1. Goku’s Parenting Skills (Or Lack Thereof)
   One of the most talked-about moments is Goku casually admitting he wasn’t involved in raising his kids. Fans had mixed reactions:
2. “Goku definitely not beating the ‘shit father’ allegations after that statement.”

3. “LOL ‘how did you raise a kid?’ ‘I wasn’t really there.’ Classic Goku.”
   Some defended him, arguing that his sacrifices for Gohan (like dying twice) shouldn’t be overlooked. Others just laughed it off as peak Goku behavior.

4. Shin’s Moment to Shine
   The Supreme Kai removing Panzy’s collar was a highlight for many. Fans rarely see Shin in action, so this was a treat:

5. “Finally, Shin gets to do something! I was expecting Goku to brute-force it, but this was way cooler.”

6. “Panzy’s joy after being freed was heartwarming. More of this, please!”

7. The Tamagami Fight Tease
   The cliffhanger left fans divided. Some are hyped for Goku’s first real fight of the series:

8. “Next episode’s fight better be a banger. Goku vs. Tamagami—let’s go!”
   Others weren’t impressed by the enemy’s design:

9. “An ugly, joke-filled fight? Hard pass. Give me a real Dragon Ball battle.”

10. The Chill Vibes
    Unlike Dragon Ball Super, Daima has a slower, more exploratory pace. Some fans love it:

11. “The ‘waku-waku’ level is off the charts! It feels like an old-school Dragon Ball adventure.”
    Others miss the high stakes:
12. “Where’s the urgency? This feels like filler.”

Standout Moments

• Goku’s Priorities: Food and toilet breaks before battle? Classic. Fans couldn’t stop laughing at his childlike logic.
• Bulma’s Struggles: Her hard work going to waste for plot convenience had fans sympathizing: “Poor Bulma. Always the unsung hero.”
• The Dumplings Debate: The introduction of Manpuku Dumplings (which fill you up for 10 days) sparked nostalgia for Senzu Beans. “Are these just budget Senzus?”

Final Verdict

Collar is a solid episode that balances humor, character moments, and setup for future action. While some fans crave more intensity, others appreciate the lighter tone. The cliffhanger ensures viewers will tune in next week—whether to see Goku throw down or just to hear Tamagami yell, “WHAT DO YOU WANT!?” again.

Rating: 8/10 – A fun, if slightly repetitive, addition to Daima’s quirky charm.
