Dragon Ball Daimaepisode #10, continues the trend of introducing new elements that are refreshing the franchise in small but meaningful ways. For example, by introducing the real creator of Majin Buu, the series has implemented a major retcon that redefines the villain’s role. It was implied that the series made these changes, particularly with Majin Buu, to introduce a new villain who could pose an equal or even greater threat than Majin Buu.
However, after seeingMajin Kuu in action in the latest episode, it’s clear that while the new character is strong, he won’t be able to challenge the Z warriors. Though this is somewhat disappointing,the latest episode also subtly introduces a new monster, with even Goku admitting it’s a threat that he and Vegeta aren’t yet strong enough to face.

Dragon Ball Daima’s Kraken Is a Monster That Goku and Vegeta Cannot Defeat Yet
Krakens Are Native to the Oceans of the Second World in the Demon Realm
Dragon Ball DaimaEpisode #10, titled “Ocean,” follows Goku and his group as they arrive in the Second World of the Demon Realm. Glorio explains that the thin air in this world makes flying easier, but he also answers Shin’s question, confirming that many Krakens still inhabit the oceans, leaving Shin worried. Panzy adds to the tension by sharing rumors about the monsters, revealing that the Krakens are as large as islands and impervious to bombs.
The episode soon introduces the monster in action, attacking the ship that brought Goku and the others, with Goku and Panzy nearly swallowed by the Kraken while trying to save a Dragon Ball. While the Kraken is undeniably intimidating, the threat is taken to another level wheneven Goku appears unsettled by it. After the flying ship is destroyed, Goku senses Vegeta and his group nearby and sets out to fetch them.

Dragon Ball Just Debuted Its Most Powerful Being in Franchise History, And Daima Fans Are Reeling
Dragon Ball Daima just introduced a powerful new figure whose achievements are almost completely unable to be matched by any existing character.
Goku warns Vegeta and the others about the Kraken, but Vegeta mocks him for being scared of a mere monster. However, after catching a glimpse of the Kraken, Vegeta is stunned by its immense size,prompting Goku to admit that they aren’t strong enough to face it. While this revelation is surprising, given Goku and Vegeta’s history of defeating global threats,Daimahas already explained why they aren’t yet powerful enough to take on the Kraken.

Why Can’t Goku or Vegeta Defeat the Kraken Yet?
Daimahad already nerfed Goku and Vegeta by turning them into children, and with the introduction of various factors like the Demon Realm’s thin air, it’s clear that Goku and Vegeta are significantly weaker in Daima than they were inDragon Ball Z. With smaller bodies and unfamiliar conditions, it will take time for them to adapt and regain their full potential. This likely explains why Goku admitted they aren’t strong enough to face the Kraken, which is far larger and more powerful.
Is Dragon Ball Daima Seriously Hiding Its Most Dangerous Weapon in Plain Sight? All the Signs Point to Yes.
A strange object was featured in a recent episode of Dragon Ball Daima, but it could be far more powerful than just a mere oddity.
With Goku managing to escape the Kraken’s mouth, save Panzy, and even defeat a Tamagami, it’s clear that he is already starting to adapt to the changes. However, his latest comment acknowledges that he has yet to regain his prime strength. As Goku and Vegeta continue adjusting to their new bodies and the environment, it’s evident that their original strength will eventually return inDragon Ball Daima, making the defeat of this new villain less challenging in time.
