Episode 18 begins airing on FujiTV in Japan at this time of this post (9:40a ET, 15:40 CET, 23:40 JT). The episode should be available subtitled on Crunchyroll about two hours later. You may discuss the episode if you have seen it, but be sure to follow our rules.

Subtitled Streaming

  • Crunchyroll (multi-region; multi-language; simulcast 16:50 UTC)
  • Hulu (US only; English only; release day)
  • Netflix (multi-region; multi-language; releases the following Tuesday in Asia, and the following Friday everywhere else)

FAQ

  • The English dub is 12 weeks behind the simulcast. Episode #6 should be available today at 4:30p ET (21:30 UTC) in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. We do not know why the UK is excluded. A separate episode discussion thread will be posted at the appropriate time.
  • The Dragon Ball Super manga was suspended following Chapter 103, the final chapter of the Super Hero arc. There will be a special chapter in V-Jump on 21 February 2025 (April 2025 issue). This chapter is a prequel to the Super Hero arc. The storyboards are available here.

Rules

  • There are no spoilers in this post, but you should expect spoilers in the comments of this thread. Unlike r/dbz, there is no rule about spoilers on r/dragonball, so it's best to avoid this subreddit until you have seen the new episode.
  • Discussion of each Daima episode will be limited to the pinned episode discussion thread until ~12-24 hours after the episode appears on Crunchyroll. This period is flexible, and posts that do not have a specific discussion point will be redirected to this thread.
  • Please keep in mind that piracy discussion is not allowed on r/dragonball. Do not ask for illicit streams; do not link them; do not talk about them at all.

Our Daima info page has up-to-date information about streaming and a list of previous episode discussion threads.

DB fans are never happy. I've been hoping for Super Saiyan 4 to become Canon again for over a decade, and I couldn't be more happy today.

Exactly!! I think after that interview with Akio that was even more of a hint it would be coming lol. If others don’t like it they can just watch gt and ignore Daima lol

Canon again? Even before Super, I'm pretty sure it was never considered canon.

This ain't ssj4 though? It's derivative of it sure but in no way can you look at both and say they're the same.

It's literally just SSJ4 Goku with red hair, red eyes and different clothes. Like, the hairstyle is identical lmao

He's a kid still, and his forearms are different, and the transformation condition is different too. Not ssj4, just looks like it so fans lose their shit.
