So, all the nitpick-y criticisms aside like "why don't they just fly over the big gate door?" or "why can't they just super speed over to Degesu and KO him?".....

This was definitely one of the worst episodes of the show overall. I still enjoy Daima as a whole but man. Its very, very, very clear the writers had some fantastic ideas for the set-up along with Toriyama but just once again in typical anime fashion they have no idea how to execute an ending.

I know we've been building up to Gomah for 16 episodes as the primary villain but holy shit you had him struggling with removing an eye out of a damn belt for 3 minutes of run time. This is your BIG BAD of the entire show and he can't even be shown finally using some kind of badass, dark magic spell to pluck the eye out and force it into his forehead?

I get it. Its a kid show. Its about comedy too. But man, this being a direct continuation of Dragon Ball Z where we had people getting turned into eggs then stepped on, chocolate bars being eaten, Z Fighters being impaled by a villains' hand...

Holy shit. Gomah looked like such a fucking loser and no amount of powering up now with that Third Eye plot device is going to make me feel satisfied when they beat him. They beat the Third Eye not Gomah. Its fucking terrible writing.

And don't get me started on the Gendarmerie Force. What an absolute waste of time across 3 episodes they appeared in. Jesus.

"Mystery". What mystery. Literally explain what mystery was shown in this episode to me.

"Tension". You mean the gun to baby Dende's head that was resolved by throwing a hat off to the side at him that caught him off guard but not the little girl who was hiding and got the drop on him too?

"Comedy Gold". If you call any of that comedy gold... boy. Jingling some keys in front of you must feel like God tickled your armpits himself.

You literally went through my history to insult me while genuinely offering nothing to the discussion other than a goofy ass tirade.

I'm sorry I criticized your favorite show in the whole wide world but I literally only spoke about this episode. Not the past 3. I also prefaced my post saying I still enjoy Daima overall.

But I know reading comprehension can be hard. Have a goodnight. I'm blocking you and moving on now.
