As Goku, Shin, and Glorio explore more of the Third Demon World, they took on a new ally inDragon Ball DAIMA.Quick to reveal herself and remove her Great Saiyaman-esque concealment, Panzy is the latest addition to the party setting out to rescue Dende and stop Gomah’s push for uncontested leadership over the collective Demon Realm. InDragon Ball DAIMAthough, Panzy’s role is notably similar to that of Bulma, but some noteworthy quirks which help her stand out as a Demon Realm-based successor toDragon Ball’stech genius.

Panzy is another of the Majin, or Demon Realm residents to showcase their eclectic abilities inDragon Ball DAIMA, with her capabilities including those of magic and of mechanics. Panzy’s points in common with Bulma don’t necessarily suggest conflict, buttwo brilliant minds from different worlds being able to mingle and share ideas. InDragon Ball DAIMA, Bulma and Panzy have the potential to get along famously, once the whole party is reunited as the Third Demon World princess and Capsule Corporation scion cross paths.

Panzy Introduces a Magic and Demon-Themed Twist to Bulma in Dragon Ball DAIMA

Demon Realm and Corporate Royalty Will Intersect in Toriyama’s New Anime

After Panzy’s introduction as the scrappy “Masked Majin” inDragon Ball DAIMAepisode #4,she is soon revealed not only to be the princess of the Third Demon World, but also a self-professed knack for tinkering with machines. AnyDragon Ballfan will be able to recognize that as having long been Bulma’s claim to fame in the series, but with Panzy’s refined knowledge of Demon Realm machinery and Bulma’s notable inventions such as the Dragon Radar, their skills can complement one another. The result shows potential for a natural collaboration between worlds inDragon Ball DAIMA.

Panzy’s gifts that set her apart, while not unusual to the Demon Realm, include her Majin capabilities for magic such as her telekinesis demonstration in episode #5, as well as her royal heritage as the daughter of King Kadan.This brings a fascinatingOx King and Chi-Chi-style twistto Panzy, as her connections will help bridge the gap for Goku and his friends, while still giving room for Bulma to contribute her insights, including Hoi-Poi capsules and potential other new tech. With Capsule Corp’s miniaturization, Bulma can bring some Earthling scientific marvels akin to magic to the table.

Panzy Is a Successor to Bulma in One Simple Way

The Princess Has One Clear Advantage

At 82 years old and still notably young with hundred of years ahead in her life expectancy,Panzy stands to be the Demon Realm’s new Bulma well beyond Bulma’s passing. Despite Bulma’s comedic usage of the Dragon Balls to reverse her aging, such as inDragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and despite her being created to stay relevant throughout all forty years of the series canon, Panzy’s lifespan allows her to take on the Demon Realm counterpart’s mantle. This allows her to coexist in canon alongside Bulma’s descendants like Bulla, who are more poised to inherit her intelligence and position.

Panzy is written to be a sustainably young iteration of Bulma, but without infringing on her or her family’s role in the franchise.

WithDragon Ball DAIMA’sposition on the timelineshowing little interaction with the Demon Realm in future arcs, Panzy is written to be a sustainably young iteration of Bulma, but without infringing on her or her family’s role in the franchise.Their common points are far more compelling than any argument to claim Bulma would be made irrelevant by Panzy’s introduction. But one humorous point of Panzy’s story so far is an inevitable point of interest for Bulma.

Bulma Will Want to Know Panzy’s Demon Realm Secret to Staying Young

“The Average Lifespan Here Is Only 1,000 Years”

With characters like Bulma and Chi-Chi appreciating howGomah’s wish shrinking Goku and his friendshave helped her become younger again, Panzy and the Majin residents of the Demon Realm, will be an inevitable fixation of hers. With Panzy confirming the average life expectancy of her kind to be “only” a thousand years, andlooking as young as a child at 82 years old, Bulma will inevitably attempt to figure out their genetic gifts in this regard. WhileBulma’s role inDragon Ball DAIMAis certainly more relevant, this will be a fun conversation staying true to her superficial character.

Dragon Ball Daima’s Impressive Visuals Are Put On Full Display In Its First Large Scale Fight

Dragon Ball has always been known for its fights, and Daima’s first big battle showcases just how great they will look with modern visuals.

This rings especially true with cases like Dr. Arinsu inDragon Ball DAIMA, who has also shown interest in looking young forever, as Gomah sets out to find the Dragon Balls in episode #1. It’s a relatable desire the continuously aging originalDragon Ballfanbase has become familiar with, and could make for a fun recurring topic in the series. Regardless, Bulma and Panzy, two female companions, make for a welcome addition to Goku’s group inDragon Ball DAIMA.
