Dragon Ball Daima episode 11 recap
Goku and Vegeta’s combined group boarded their plane, only for Panzy to notice an elderly Namekian approaching from the distance. Curious, they stepped off to meet him.
The Namekian’s demeanor shifted upon seeing a Dragon Ball in their possession, and he began acting senile. Piccolo quickly identified him as Neva, a legendary Namekian, and demanded he drop the act.
Neva acknowledged Piccolo and remarked on his resemblance to Katas, Piccolo’s father. When questioned about his involvement on Earth at the Lookout, Neva admitted following King Gomah’s orders. While he knew Dende would be taken, he assured them that Dende was too valuable to be harmed.
When asked about their mission, Goku explained that they were gathering three Dragon Balls from the Tamagami to wish themselves back into their adult forms. As the group prepared to leave, Neva requested to join them, explaining that the wish required being spoken in the Namekian language, which none of them—Piccolo included—could still speak. With no other option, they agreed and boarded the plane once more.
During their flight, Bulma engaged Neva in conversation. Neva shared that he had remained on the planet to protect it, hoping his people might one day return.
Neva revealed that the Dragon Balls were originally created to reward the efforts of his fellow Namekians but had become tools for selfish desires. To counter this misuse, he had crafted the Tamagami as guardians, making the Dragon Balls harder to obtain.
Meanwhile, Dr. Arinsu returned to consult with Marba after Majin Kuu’s defeat against Tamagami Number One. Together, they decided to create a stronger Majin, using the last remnants of Innocent Buu’s essence and a final Saibamen seed.
Despite the risks, they planted the seed deep within their compound. The resulting creation, named Majin Duu, surfaced and immediately demanded chocolate. Kuu borrowed money from Dr. Arinsu to purchase some, but tension arose when Duu devoured his chocolate and Kuu’s.
Dr. Arinsu instructed Duu to confront Tamagami Number One. Duu eagerly accepted and arrived at the Tamagami’s location, issuing a challenge.
As the fight began, Duu proved to be a far more capable opponent than Kuu, combining erratic movements with remarkable speed and precision. The battle was clearly on a different level than before.
Returning to the Z-Fighters, Vegeta declared that he would face the next Tamagami personally. The group soon reached their destination, where they encountered the second Tamagami. This one appeared leaner than the first and carried a trident instead of an axe.
Vegeta stepped forward to issue a challenge. At first, the Tamagami dismissed him, mocking Vegeta’s small stature. However, upon spotting Neva observing from afar, the Tamagami realized the challenge was genuine and accepted.
The fight began with Vegeta holding back his transformations. Though he managed to land some attacks, he received a cut to his cheek while the Tamagami remained unscathed. In response, the Tamagami unleashed a powerful Sword Blast, sending Vegeta into the ocean below.
A Kraken suddenly appeared and attempted to devour Vegeta. The Saiyan prince countered with a surge of energy, escaping the Kraken’s grasp, only to be struck mid-air by the Tamagami.
The impact sent him back into the ocean, where the Kraken attacked again and swallowed him whole at the end of the episode.
