In the first episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA, it seems to try to put the entire story in order and introduce the villains, but there are a few seconds where we see various characters from the Majin Buu arc of Dragon Ball Z. Among them, many may have been surprised to see that Shin and Kibito appear separately and not fused as Kibito-shin.
It is explained that they asked Buu to be absorbed to undo the effects of the fusion, following what happens in DBZ when Vegetto faces his evil version and he devours him like eating a hamburger. Apparently, the pink creature can release a gas inside him capable of neutralizing the effects of fusion using Potara earrings. A good explanation.
How was their fusion story in Super
And the problem? The existence of Dragon Ball Super. In this anime, which we know takes place after DAIMA due to Trunks’ age and other details, it is revealed that Shin and Kibito, as deities, could not undo their fusion until they gathered the dragon balls (Namekian) and made a wish, while in reality Vegetto had separated due to a time limit. Therefore, DAIMA would have contradicted this part of the anime’s story, leading to a continuity debate in forums and social media that was important to some fans.
There is still no official comment on this discrepancy, but as Luso Saiyan recounts in Kanzenshuu, it is very possible that Akira Toriyama had ignored this explanation in Super as he was not involved in the anime’s plot at that time. For him, the only possibility to undo the fusion using Potara earrings would be to be absorbed by some version of Buu, and that’s what he wanted to show in Dragon Ball DAIMA.
The new Dragon Ball series has only just begun, and there is always the possibility that Shin and Kibito will have to join forces again to overcome a threat, leading to Buu losing this strange ability along the way. This could also be set in another timeline, or a wish could be made to undo everything we see in this series in the end. Complicated, right?
It is most likely that Toriyama wanted Kaiō-shin to be the protagonist of this story, and he sought the quickest way to undo his fusion with Kibito. We will have to wait for the upcoming episodes to see how this all unfolds. What is clear, from trailers, is that Shin will have a prominent role. Remember that Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO also arrived a few days ago.
