With each new episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA, fans are getting to see Goku get more and more powerful in his childlike form. There are tough opponents on the horizon like the Tamagamis, but Goku will have plenty of other challenges along the way. After Episode 5, viewers were once again treated to a tiny preview of what’s to come. Goku is poised to challenge a familiar ally as well as one massive opponent seen in the opening sequence when Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 6 is released.
While Goku barely managed to keep his balance after being cursed with his chibi-style form in the series premiere episode, each fight has seen him become more proficient in battle. The minuscule Saiyan was more than capable in a bar fight and against the Gendarmerie after arriving in the Demon Realm, but the first glimpse of his true power in Dragon Ball DAIMA burst forth when Super Saiyan Goku appeared in Episode 5 to wrap up a defeat of King Kadan’s soldiers.
