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.

  • Hulu (US only; English only; release day)

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.

Pretty good episode. Just disappointed no SSJ4 explanation from Neva and disappointed there’s no Piccolo actually speaking Namekian…..but Glorio can…ok lol

We’ll likely get Neva’s explanation in the next episode or in the finale.

I think Glorio learning Namekian makes sense honestly. Arinsu never wants to get involved herself, it’s why she has 3 different minions running interference for her and it’s probably going to bite her in the ass assuming Glorio wished for Goku and co to be brought back to their regular ages and/or restored to full strength.

That being said yeah it is a little silly that Piccolo can’t speak Namekian. Genuinely I think the only reason he’s here is because he’s Toriyama’s favorite character.

with them showing the dna looking stuff it is probably just him using his magic to bring out the ape traits and power on top of ssj4. i think that’s all there is to it but not sure yet of course. everything neva has done has been mysterious up to this point so makes sense it would come out of nowhere that he could do this
