With only a few episodes under its belt,Dragon Ball DAIMAhas managed to become one of the best anime series of 2024. The unique narrative with some nostalgic aspects makes it a perfect combination that fans have been appreciating. The series is in fact deemed by many to be better than the most controversial storylines of the franchise,Dragon Ball GT.
Fans might have noticed thatDragon Ball DAIMAandDragon Ball GTshare a lot of similarities, with the most important one being the mini version of Goku. Just like inDragon Ball GT,Goku also becomes small inDragon Ball DAIMAand tries to find a way to get back to his original form while also defeating all the obstacles in his way.
However, asDAIMAhas been progressing, there is a chance that it may steal the thunder fromDragon Ball GTcompletely. And to do that,Dragon Ball DAIMAneeds to nail the Super Saiyan transformation of Goku in his small form.
The Similarities BetweenDragon Ball GTandDragon Ball DAIMA
Dragon Ball DAIMAwas the last projectAkira Toriyamaworked on. Therefore, it had sentimental value, and fans had a lot of hopes for it. And the series lived up to these hopes and produced a compelling storyline that shared a lot of parallels withDragon Ball GT, which initially created doubt in the minds of fans. The first and foremost was Goku turning into a mini version and dealing with his opponents.

The second similarity was the return of the power pole, which was an iconic weapon used by Goku from the firstDragon Ballseries. Even the flying nimbus is a part of bothGTandDAIMA, but it’s not given much importance. Irrespective of that, these similarities created a lot of discourse within the fanbase.
When fans first saw the teaser trailer forDragon Ball DAIMA, they were a little disappointed because of the parallels that made it look likeDragon Ball GT.Dragon Ball GTis one of the most hated series in the entireDragon Ballfranchise, andDAIMAusing similar concepts led fans to believe that theseries might fail just likeGT.

AlthoughDragon Ball DAIMAhas already become a successful series, it still has one more trick up its sleeve that can make it blow pastDragon Ball GT.This trick is the iconic Super Saiyan transformation of Goku, especially in his mini version. WhileGTwas criticized a lot, the one thing it did well was portraying the Super Saiyan transformation of Kid Goku.
As of now, Goku has not yet used his Super Saiyan transformation inDragon Ball DAIMA, but it is predicted that he might use it in episode 5.
