Tamagami Number Three charged upa massive ball of energyonly for the ever-reliable Kamehameha and one pinpoint follow-up strike by Super Saiyan Goku to force the behemoth’s surrender. After one final “battle” against a Demon Realm caliber shell game, Goku’s lightning-quick eyesight followed even Tamagami Number Three’s fastest movements to claim the Three-Star Demon Realm Dragon Ball. Goku and Shin will soon reunite with Piccolo, Vegeta, and Bulma as both groups chart a course for Warp-sama and the Second Demon World, but Dr. Arinsu’s evil plot may become an even bigger problem inDragon Ball DAIMA.
Glorio, the supposed ally that brought Goku and his friends on this journey, is actually in the midst of a devious double-cross. Glorio seeks to claim all three Demon Realm Dragon Balls for Dr. Arinsu, and that’s just their backup plan. When Supreme Demon King Gomah and Degesu looked back on the moment Vegeta blew Majin Buu into thousands of tiny fragments, they discovered Dr. Arinsu was lurking in the shadows and collected one small piece of Buu’s body. Marba, the very witch who made Majin Buu for Bibidi, is on the verge of turning that remnant into a monstrous Majin that could be completely under Dr. Arinsu’s control. With Goku blissfully unaware as their journey continues, the remaining Tamagamis could be a mere blip on the radar if Majin Buu truly returns with a terrifying new form inDragon Ball DAIMA.
