Dragon Ball DAIMA episode 19 has delivered its fair share of ups and downs, but with each episode, the anticipation has only intensified. The anime took a massive turn when Gomah turned on the Evil Third Eye, transforming into an unstoppable force. Following the explosive action of Episode 18, which introduced Super Saiyan 4 into the universe, Episode 19, “Betrayal,” surpasses its predecessor in every way imaginable. If Episode 18 was a taste of greatness, then Episode 19 is an all-you-can-eat buffet of high-octane action, emotional drama, and jaw-dropping transformations.
Dragon Ball DAIMA EPISODE 19 Returns the Heroes to Their Original Forms
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta Dominates in a Legendary Battle
Vegeta’s Ultimate Redemption Arc
One of the biggest highlights of Episode 19 is Vegeta’s fierce showdown with Gomah. While Episode 12 gave fans a taste of Super Saiyan 3 Mini Vegeta, this episode unleashes the full might of an adult SSJ3 Vegeta. His battle with Gomah is leagues ahead of his previous clash with Tamagami Number Two, proving once again why Vegeta remains one of the most beloved characters in Dragon Ball history.
The fight choreography is nothing short of breathtaking, as Vegeta and Gomah ricochet across the Demon Realm in a spectacular display of power. A standout moment is when the episode briefly shifts focus to Glorio and Dr. Arinsu’s emotional confrontation while the sound effects of Vegeta’s battle continue in the background, emphasizing the intensity of the ongoing fight.
Unlike Goku, who struggled against Evil Third Eye Gomah in SSJ3, Vegeta absolutely demolishes him without even needing to transform into Super Saiyan 4. This fight proves that, as an adult, Vegeta is a force to be reckoned with, shoulder-to-shoulder with the franchise’s best brawlers. His beam fight with Gomah in Final Flash is one of the most gorgeous-looking scenes in the series, with silky smooth animation on par with studios like MAPPA or Science SARU.
Glorio’s Wish and Its Unexpected Consequences
Episode 19 starts off with a major narrative shift as Gloria, whose betrayal has been teased since the very first episode, takes centre stage. However, the real twist isn’t about his double-crossing nature but rather the deeper layers behind “Betrayal.” Instead of betraying Goku and the gang, Glorio finds himself caught in a web of his own emotions, as his journey alongside the Z Fighters has changed him in ways he never expected. His realization that his new friends truly accept him is heartwarming, and the melancholic instrumental of Jaka Jaan playing in the background makes this moment unforgettable.
But the real bombshell drops when Glorio’s wish to the Dragon Balls restores Goku, Vegeta, and the others to their adult forms. The shift back to adulthood carries an electrifying energy, filling fans with nostalgia and excitement. Unlike Dragon Ball GT, which kept Goku trapped in his child form, DAIMA delivers on fan expectations by letting the heroes reclaim their full strength in time for the climactic battle ahead.
Super Saiyan 4 Goku’s Ultimate Evolution Shakes the Demon Realm
A Transformation Unlike Any Other
As if Vegeta’s battle wasn’t already enough to send fans into a frenzy, Episode 19 delivers an even more jaw-dropping moment when Goku undergoes his most intense transformation yet. Drawing inspiration from his legendary Super Saiyan showcase against Majin Buu, DAIMA recreates that classic scene but pushes it one step further—Goku’s final transformation isn’t just into Super Saiyan 3 but into the long-awaited Super Saiyan 4.
Goku’s metamorphosis is so powerful that it nearly looks like an apocalyptic event. The entire Demon Realm is bathed in an eerie purple glow as his screams echo through the abyss. The raw power he exudes is overwhelming, leaving everyone in stunned silence. It’s a rare moment where a Dragon Ball transformation doesn’t just feel cool but truly monumental. After years of speculation, Dragon Ball DAIMA has made Super Saiyan 4 canon, and it couldn’t have been handled in a more spectacular fashion.
Setting the Stage for an Epic Finale
Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 19, “Betrayal,” is everything fans could have asked for and more. It not only delivers some of the most thrilling battles in the series but also brings emotional depth and satisfying character arcs. With the return of the adult Saiyans and jaw-dropping transformations, DAIMA is setting itself up for one of the greatest finales in Dragon Ball history.
If this episode is any indication, the final instalment will be nothing short of legendary. Dragon Ball DAIMA has always been about pushing the boundaries of what the franchise can achieve, and with just one episode left, it’s safe to say that the best is yet to come.
