The Genius Behind Goku vs Tamagami 3's Animation!

as soon as goku started moving his arms for the kamehameha it was obvious who was animating lol. could not have been happier with this episode.

unrelated to the animation, but i'm very pleasently surprised that tamagami 3 is this full of personality, even trying to replicate the kamehameha in one scene when goku and co, are flying off on their ship, i love him a lot and i'm looking forward to meeting the other 2 tamagami

[@RyZak23]

Was anticipating this video since the end of gokus fight with tamagami 3 lol. I love ajays enthusiasm for amazing animation and i knew he'd be overjoyed with this episode. Shida absolutely killed it but the whole fight was absolutely gorgeous. Cant wait to see what else the series has in store after this

[@soyakat]

Man the last minute of this breakdown had me emotional, Daima has been such a fun ride til this point and it shows that this series was made with care both from Toriyama and Toei and even tho is different from z or super I'm totally enjoying it as its own thing. Great vid Ajay!

im gonna cry bro, knowing daima was toriyamas last work for dragon ball and that everyone was hating when the trailer first came out, just for daima to be absolutely amazing 😢😢 this episode got me emotional ngl

[@siinxx7656]

Bro Daima is trash. Episodes are full of nothing but extensive filling unimportant dialogues so much that it took 8 episodes to actually come to something relevant. Go watch Dragon Ball and see Toriyama at his peak, Daima is him on his senile days. Sounds cold, but i say this with the upmost respect. Toriyama is a legend even with flaws.

I dont understand the hate for Daima; yeah it was a bit of a slow burn at the start but I mean c'mon.. you cant say that the flow to this point wasnt good. Yeah there were times where it felt like they were taking their time but damn is it worth it when you get these amazing animations

[@solidsolo9258]

For me the journey that led up to this first Tamagami fight made it extra exciting. If they just rushed to get to the big fight asap it would be less special imo

[@AriTheAri]

I feel like a lot of the hate comes from people who haven't even seen a single episode of the show yet "Oh kid goku is back so this is just GT again 😡" "Oh this isn't super season 2 so I hate it 😡" Blind hate is a sad thing to see

[@shofan0456]

I don't hate Daima per sé, I just think it's a little too much of a slow burn for me... The demon realm isn't really that interesting to me and If it weren't for Ajay, I probably wouldn't be keeping up with it as much. Not bad, I just got a little tired of saying how beautiful the compositing was and how that was like one of the few things that held me over for the first three episodes.

[@WolfXGamerful]

@@shofan0456 It's kinda interesting to see people not be interested in the namesake of the show (Dai-makai). Nothing against you, but even I'm surprised you haven't dropped it yet.

​@@WolfXGamerful Mmmm... I kind of haaave. I mostly just follow the breakdowns from Ajay.

[@wafflemetal]

it was clear Daima was going to be better than super and gt from the start, the lack of action was actually good - tones of classic DB that hints this time toryiama really took part on the project

[@radioactivefunk]

to me the true canon additions post-db manga are: minus , battle of the gods, rof, broly, super hero, and daima. the 2 toei anime series and the toyotaro manga all feel too distant from toriyama's storytelling hand to be considered more than extended media

[@NeoZero369]

I feel like we need to just erase Super from our memories… and only consider the movies

[@felldoh9271]

In my opinion it remains to be seen if it will end up being better than GT, though the way things are going it seems it may be.

better animation than any episode so far

[@Meelow-jp8lb]

If this is the first Tamagami, imagine how the Tamagami 2 is gonna look with Vegeta, Goku and Piccolo and the aquatic biome 🤯

[@FloatingRam]

I really like how you can see the gears turning in Goku's head at the beginning of the fight, he was basically able to out power everyone he's fought till this point, but this is his first challenging fight so far. he has to play on the defensive at the beginning of the fight to see what this opponent is capable of and to determine how or if he can win against Tammagami 3. once he turns ssj its still not even over he's just now playing on a even playing field with Tamamgami 3. it really says alot about how powerful Goku really is at the beginning of Daima post majin buu arc, because even since he's been turned into a child its now established that he's even more powerful than Dabura in the majin buu arc.

[@not_pale]

Episode 8 delivered on basically everything we could've asked for: the stunningly epic fight animation of Goku Vs #3 is amazing while the looming tension of Arinsu's devious plots as Gomah and Degesu start to uncover her secrets ramps up the stakes hardcore! We could be in for a major three way power struggle between Goku's crew, Gomah's, and Arinsu's!

[@mappybc6097]

My guess is Goku and Vegeta will square against Arinsu and the new Buu, Piccolo will face Neva, and Shin and Glorio will take on Degasu and Gomah. That way everyone has something to contribute.

[@pensandoemalgo.5722]

Part of the reason this battle is so good is because Goku is a kid in Daima, and people still complaim about it

[@ogloc8405]

That's why allot are not watching. This would've been on everyone radar if they weren't kids

[@timodoren2281]

People complain because they don't want to revisit the Buu saga but rather have a continuation of Super. They don't want to watch Goku go SSJ again they want Ultra Instinct Goku. And them being kids also is a factor. I don't agree btw I love Daima. As someone who loves OG DB the most this is up my alley. But I understand why they have an issue with Daima.

[@Lagia7]

They're not Dragon Ball fans to begin with. They're those typical "DBZ" "fans" who only watched Z and Super and are mostly into hype rainbow transformations and energy beam spamming, and other stuff they can make tiktok phonk edits with

[@ogloc8405]

@@Lagia7 DBZ is literally way better than DB IMO. I've watched everything from the beginning to super to the manga. Z is where dragon ball really took off. The most iconic moments in db are in Z. Not saying Original dragon ball was bad or nothing but its no DBZ IMO. And Daima fd up when they decided to make the Z fighters kids.

[@gokunenn4243]

@ogloc8405 The "Z" arcs - they are still just Dragonball in the manga, I don't know why you would not read it if you are actually wanting to experience early Dragonball- are full of nonsensical moments that are easily some of the worst Toriyama has ever written. Hype fights and iconic moments mean shit if the story needs to take such a hard dive to accomodate them. Daima also didn't fuck up with making them children. That has nothing to do with the quality of the story. Early DB is not worse by virtue of having a kid Goku. That isn't how it works.

[@justasinglesummon3912]

Litteraly one of the best animated dragon ball fights ever lol

[@TopShonenRanks]

Absolute masterclass episode! It’s weird cuz I used to feel like Shida’s animation was more suited to One Piece and a lot of Luffy’s attacks and then he delivers one of my favorite scenes from him in this episode and I’m just absolutely blown away. This feels like the real big episode we were all waiting for and I’m glad that this episode shows the heights that the show can achieve under the amazing schedule they were given. Even if the show is not being talked about as much as Super, it really feels good to be a Dragon Ball fan right now

[@JLuisJoni]

I think what surprised me most was just seeing Shida here so early in the show. They tend to reserve him for bigger, more climactic parts of a story, so it did catch me off guard that he was the one to finish off this specific fight, the first major one in the show, and wasn't reserved for a later fight. Not to say he won't show up in later fights, mind you, I just sorta expected him to show up at a later point in the show when I saw his cut in the trailers.

[@BLuEJ_47]

I frickin love that you use Music from Final Fantasy XIV Everytime i hear it i immediately recognize it

[@DanielBakerFoster]

I was blown away with this episode's direction. I'm not a big fan of Shida but he absolutely nailed it in this episode, probably thanks to Karasawa! The scale, the rotations, the efects, the lightings, colores, composition, atmosphere. Outstanding.

[@timodoren2281]

Everyone talks about Shida like he's the GOAT and he's cool and all but Karasawa was the MVP for me. The choreography he had, it was like I was watching a Jackie Chan fight scene where everything was clear, you could follow every movement, creative fight bits, great parkour. Dunno think Karasawa deserves more praise.

[@only_goatkuuu]

oh my god, what an episode and what an incredible breakdown, this week couldn't have ended better with this spectacular battle and the episode full of information that we received 🔥🔥 right away I noticed an impressive storyboard (even though I think shida followed his storyboard as usual) but man, I was a little worried about how they would handle a fight between a little guy and a giant robot but I really couldn't ask for better, the sense of scale was just perfect and even though it was fast-paced the fight was very readable 🔥🔥 At last, I can't help but praise the direction of this episode as you said, especially the scene where arinsu goes to visit marbah in that kind of "laboratory" the colors and effects convey to you what is happening and give that sense of fear and mystery, wow I'm really surprised... i guess komaki influence is very strong lol.

Maybe unpopular opinion but Goku fighting in base form was my fav part. Shida part wasn't even my fav part lol. Goku using the power pole to slow him down by sticking it between the 2 walls and then use it to spin around and launch himself back into the fight sh1t like this is what I live for in fights. I just hope we see more of that going forward. Unlike others, Goku is a true martial artist. So it's even more satisfying when it's not just all beam lasers and ki blasts. Remember when Goku did the one inch punch against Frieza ? More of that please. While I LOVE Ultra Instict, there were plenty of moments where I couldn't even follow along during the Jiren fight. I know it's because they screwed over the animators which I hope they never do again. But how cool would UI Jiren fight be if they added more of these amazing martial art movements that we could follow along. This fight was great because it made me feel how I felt watching OG DB fights, it had amazing choreography, fights were creative and you could follow along perfectly. Remember Jackie Chans final fight scene in Drunken Master 2 ? That should be the blueprint for the perfect Dragon Ball fight scene. Imagine Goku mastering Drunken Master in honor of Jackie Chun (Jackie Chan) and doing some of those moves he did in that film. The internet would break from that fight scene haha.

[@gokunenn4243]

Nah, I agree. Easily the best part of the episode was actually the weapons part. When Goku turned Super Saiyan and Tamagami started literally spamming ki blasts I was bummed. I also can't really get excited for a Kamehameha anymore after Super even if its Shida quality.
