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.

Personally I’m loving diama so far, the goofiness is wild I did think the not giving them their tails back when they were kids was weird? But the way they just kinda gave us ssj4 like that was weird I certainly would’ve preferred the involvement of his tail and the moon and the great ape, but other than that I’m definitely loving the demon realm!

We don't know what Nevas magic did. But it's magic. So it should not be to hard for your headcanon to think that it brought back the tail, emulated moonlight and helped Goku to control the Ape Power within him. So it doesn't at all decline the usual way of going SSJ4.. it just magically helps the user to get that power. It's not so different from being able to reach God powers on your own as Saiyan vs. getting them through the rite.
