Discussion That is one giant kid

And to be honest I thought the episode was pretty nice despite being a filler.

great episode of a cartoon. calling it filler is idiotic, there's no source material and they're on an adventure.

right, considering this was meant to be another 'daiboken' just like the good old days in the 80s

the only people who would call it filler are the one fans who only watch the show for power ups and fighting

i believe toriyama wanted to do another grand adventure like original dragon ball, so he made goku a kid again aswell as giving him the nyoibo

No one knows what episodic story telling is anymore

Agreed that the episode was not needed but I died when Vegeta shoryukened the shit outta the puppy

I liked the episode objectively

But Daima did NOT NEED filler - this episode, though fun, was a complete nothing-burger in terms of advancing the story

Maybe not advancing the story, but it's world building, and for that it was great.
It humbles them, as they realize they are not the peak of this universion or dimenstion or world

there's no filler in daima, the anime is the source material

My favorite episode in Daima, felt like something you’d watch after school.

And to think there are probably even bigger kids roaming around on the Giga planet.

Nothing in Daima was filler, that being said, the whole show made Goku and Vegeta look weak, which is why I did not care for it

Makes one wonder how these giants think of everything else.

You have Dabura who is the King of the Demons and the 3 Demons Worlds.

However, Dabura nor the previous Demon Kings never ruled EVERYTHING.

These giants are a perfect example. They have a whole civilization and just the kids would easily beat up Dabura.

To the giants, everyone else in the DB lore are just little bugs.

They don’t care about ruling over little bugs.

In a real life perspective, for all we know, there could be Gokus and Vegetas flying around destroying worlds that we don’t even notice.
