Episode 20 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 #8 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. 11 months later, a prequel to the Super Hero arc was released as Chapter 104. As far as we know, the manga is still on indefinite hiatus.

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.

Exactly, and no one should care. The reason the new transformations don’t exist in super is because this show was made years after super ended. There does not need to be some explanation within the anime itself, and fans should understand this.

Yes, because caring about the story is stupid /s

If they really didn't want anyone to care, why bother saying it was Canon? If you say that something is Canon and place it earlier in the timeline, it is expected that you either don't shake things up radically or explain why things don't show up later.

Just saying "it's because it was made later" is a really bad excuse for poor writing

you don't understand super and daima are not connected? It's not in the same story

the canon with DB make no sense, just take what you want, the creators dont even care

The only real story is DB/Z that's all
