The development of the plot and the maintenance of the continuity across the franchise that has spanned over four decades has always been pivotal in stabilizing the Dragon Ball series’ appeal. Since the announcement of Dragon Ball DAIMA, the new series has sparked many discussions among fans.

There were many who were concerned about Goku’s presence in the series and how it adds to the plot inconsistencies related to the carefree protagonist. Let us dive and see how the newest Dragon Ball series fixes the loopholes and inconsistencies in the franchise.

DAIMA Goku has been integrated into the canon storyline

Throughout the history of the Dragon Ball series, Goku’s narrative arc has been marked by cycles of life, death, and resurrection, each serving as a catalyst for character development and plot progression. The question was why King Gomah wished to make them children and not kill them.

It turns out that the plot covered this and had a Namekian character as plot defense to avoid that from happening and manipulate the wish. This is done because the story itself had become too large to handle without cutting it up into pieces. In Dragon Ball DAIMA, we see a Goku that has been shrunken down by demons and is most definitely alive.

This is a change compared to that of Dragon Ball Z and Super; it is a detail that has intrigued fans and prompted many questions about the series’ timeline, as well as its implications for the lore of the Dragon Ball world as a whole.

One of the persistent criticisms within the Dragon Ball franchise has been the perceived inconsistencies in character statuses and timelines, often leading to plot holes that challenge the series’ internal logic. DAIMA has been consistently fixing forgotten or broken plotlines and filling in any ambiguities in the story.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is fixing plot ambiguities

Dragon Ball DAIMA appears to confront these issues directly by providing a coherent explanation for Goku’s presence. By situating the series within a specific timeframe and offering context for Goku’s status, the creators have taken steps to resolve ambiguities that have previously perplexed the audience.

The deliberate clarification of Goku’s status and the clear sequence of events in Dragon Ball DAIMA signifies a commitment to narrative coherence and continuity. This work is a much-anticipated return to the original structure of Dragon Ball. By addressing and fixing the past plot holes, the series sets a precedent for meticulous storytelling through well-planned narration.

By clarifying Goku’s status and addressing associated plot holes, the series not only enriches its own narrative but also reinforces the importance of continuity and coherence in long-running franchises. This development is poised to enhance the viewing experience for both longstanding fans and newcomers to the series.
