Six episodes of Dragon Ball Daima are available to stream online. Fans of the series can stream it online on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
On Animeking, we promised to share the latest information about the Dragon Ball Daima anime.
Who Is Glorio In Dragon Ball Daima?
Dragon Ball Daima is one of the most awaited anime of 2024. It follows Goku and his friend’s adventure in the Demon Realm to rescue Dende and defeat King Gomah, the new ruler of the Demon Realm.
Dragon Ball Daima takes place before the Super and after the Buu Saga in the franchise. It was Akira Toriyama’s last project before he passed away in March of last year.
“Dragon Ball Daima begins with Gomah and Degetsu observing the events of the Buu Saga. The King Gomah, frightened by the powers of the Z Fighters, travels to Earth to use their Dragon Balls. He plans to transform those who defeated Majin Buu and their friends into kids.”
While Gomah and Degetsu watch the events on the monitor, Glorio secretly spying on them. He even followed Gomah to the Earth and asked Goku to defeat Gomah. Since Gomah took Dende with them and the Earth’s dragon ball was gone for a year, Goku decided to go with Glorio to the Demon Realm to save Deende and defeat Gomah.
To his surprise, Supreme chose to accompany them because he was familiar with the Demon Realm. While travelling to the Demon Realm, Supreme Kai started doubting Glorio’s intention. He suggests to Goku that Glorio is not a person they know. He is hiding something.
But Goku takes Shin’s word lightly and doesn’t doubt him for a bit. In Episode 6 of Dragon Ball Daima, Glorio’s connection to Supreme Kai’s sister reveals their plan to defeat King Gomah.
Glorio Abilities In Dragon Ball Daima?
There’s no confirmation about his abilities in the series, and he hardly gets any opportunities to demonstrate his power. So, there is no way of telling how powerful Gloiro from Dragon Ball Daima is, but his existence and motive to defeat King Gomah show that he is probably stronger than Supreme Kai. Perhaps one of the strongest in the Demon Realm.
In Episode 1 of Dragon Ball Daima, fans learn about a new character who was spying on King Gomah, the ruler of the Demon Realm. Though Gomah is the King and spying on him means sudden death, still he was spying, showing his belief in his abilities.
Later, he travelled to Earth and asked Goku to join him on a journey to the Demon Realm to help defeat King Gomah. It shows Glorio’s fearless approach to his mission. But is that enough?
Goku is one of the strongest Dragon Ball characters and the only few who defeated Margin Buu. Compared to him, Glorio stands nowhere.
In the latest episode of Dragon Ball Daima, after Glorio asked Goku for a battle to demonstrate his strength to Goku. He failed miserably to him when Goku went to Super Saiyan and defeated him with no sweat.
After reviewing their battle, fans expressed dissatisfaction with Glorio, labelling him a weakling. However, it’s too early to assess someone’s strength while the series is still ongoing. Moreover, in the final moments of their battle, Glorio held back his attack, indicating that he didn’t reveal the full extent of his strength.
Dragon Ball Daima is one of the best adventure fantasy anime of 2024, featuring many mysterious characters in the series. Fans can expect a sudden boost to Glorio when they fight Tanagami for the Dragon Ball. After all, he is on a mission to defeat the new demon lord.

Why He Seek Goku’s Help To Defeat The King Gomah?
Goku is one of the strongest Z fighters and perhaps the only one who protected the Earth on multiple occasions and sacrificed himself more than once. So Glorio asking him to defeat King Gomah makes sense, but why only him, not others? Gomah and Degetsu watched the events of the Dragon Ball Z: Buu Saga in Episode 1 when they learned the defeat of Buu.
According to them, the person who defeated Margin Buu was Goku from Earth. He is a Saiyan who inherited greater strength to defeat opponents like Margin Buu.
While they were watching the Z fighters, Glorio was spying on them and witnessed the mightiest of Z fighters. He went to Earth to ask Goku for help defeating King Gomah, knowing that Vegeta and others had assisted in defeating Majin Buu.
Goku alone is not enough to defeat Margin, so, he needs help from more than one person to defeat his opponent. But in Episode 2 of Dragon Ball Daima, Glorio clearly states that he wants Goku’s help to defeat Gomah. At the time, we believed that was nothing but a miss. But as the series progresses, we learn one or two things about Glorio.
First, he was a double agent in the series, working for the King of the Third Demon World and Dr. Arinsu.
Episode 6 of Dragon Ball Daima reveals Glorio as a traitor and is working for Shin’s sister, Dr Arinsu, planning to use them for their benefit.
It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but fans can expect a sudden clash between Glorio and Goku after the Z fighters discover his true intention. Episode 6 also foreshadows Glorio’s powers as he is dual with Goku and almost reveals his abilities.
What Is Glorio’s Role In Dragon Ball Daima?
Dragon Ball Daima introduced fans to many new characters, and Glorio is one of them. He is one of the many characters against the new Demon King, Gomah and wishes to get rid of him. Therefore, he travelled from the Demon Realm to the Universe 7 Earth to ask Goku’s help to defeat the new Demon King.
As the story unfolded, fans witnessed Goku’s adventure in the Demon Realm, where he defeated opponents effortlessly. But fans become suspicious of Glorio when he introduces himself to the Z Fighters as a demon sent to escort Gok to the Demon Realm on the orders of the Third Demon World King. But when Goku and his friends meet the King of the Third Demon world in episode 5, he tells the other story. According to him, Glorio was the one who came to him, suggesting that he knew someone who could get rid of King Gomah. After hearing them out, Supreme Kai starts being suspicious of Glorio and suggests Goku keep his eyes on him.
But Goku takes his word lightly and never loses his trust in them. However, Supreme Kai’s suspicions turn into reality when he hears Gloria’s conversation with Dr. Arinsu, indicating his double standard in the show.
After Episode 7 of Dragon Ball Daima, fans start asking about Glorio’s role in the series. He appeared as a good guy who wanted to save the Demon Realm from King Goma. But the reality is the opposite, which could make the show more interesting.
In short, Gloria’s role is to help Dr. Arinsu’s motive. He can cross Goku and his friends in the Demon Realm and make them pay.
Glorio Vs. Goku: Who Will Win?
Dragon Ball Daima Episode 6 highlights the fight between Glorio and Goku after a little argument over the Minotaur. The protagonist suggests his fellow to leave the Minotaur for him as they might be too much to handle. Glorio mistakes Goku’s words for a taunt and decides to fight him. But it looks like the companion of Demo Realm misjudges Goku’s abilities and is defeated effortlessly.
There is no doubt that the fight between the two was friendly, with no winner or loser. But fans take it as a hint for the upcoming events when Glorio likely betray Z fighters for the Deamon Realm Dragon Ball.

Dragon Ball Daima Episode 5 highlights Goku’s upcoming mission of gathering Demon Realm Dragon Ball and use to save Dende from King Gomah. It comes after the protagonist and his friends understand that travelling to the first Demon Realm takes lots of time and effort.
However, gathering Demon Realm Dragon Ball comes with its own set of challenges. Each Dragon Ball guard is by Tamagami, the fearsome guardians created by Neve. According to Panzy, no one in the Demon Realm defeated them and used the Dragon Ball — even Dabura was afraid of them and never tried to acquire them.
Fans are excited about seeing their beloved character in real action and Tamagami. They will satisfy their desire as the mighty guardians of the Demon Realm. However, there’s a possibility that Glorio might be involved in the fight against Tamagami. He is one of the characters whose true strength hasn’t reveal yet in the series. There’s no surprise if he even defeats Tamagami.
He travelled all the way to the Universe 7 Earth and asked Goku’s help to defeat the new Demon King without fearing the consequences of standing against King Gomah.
The time will reveal who will win the fight between Glorio and Tamagami if the fight happens in the future.

But challenging one of the strongest characters in the Dragon Ball franchise is too much. That is what fans expected when Goku defeated Glorio effortlessly. He forces him to quit without putting in any effort.
