Since its debut last October, Dragon Ball Daima, the 40th-anniversary celebration of the iconic franchise, has captivated fans with its story and character designs personally crafted by the late original author Akira Toriyama. Now, the series is rapidly approaching its grand finale.
However, in today's (February 21) broadcast of Episode 19, amidst the intense final boss battle, an unexpected conversation between Vegeta and Bulma stole the spotlight, becoming the episode's main talking point beyond the Saiyan transformations and combat.
(This article contains spoilers for Dragon Ball Daima Episode 19. Reader discretion is advised.)
The scene unfolds after Goku and his crew are all reverted to their adult forms thanks to Glorio's successful wish with the Dragon Balls. Vegeta immediately charges into battle against Goma, unleashing his full Super Saiyan 3 power. He lands punch after punch on Goma, but seems unable to hit a weak spot, quickly depleting his energy. (After all, Super Saiyan 3 is a massive energy drain and can't be sustained for long.)
Vegeta, determined to take down Goma alone but already running on fumes, is urged by Bulma to retreat. "Everyone can fight now, don't overdo it!" she insists. But Vegeta, ever the proud Saiyan, refuses to back down, shouting, "I'll take this guy down even if it kills me!"
That's when Bulma snaps. She declares that if Vegeta doesn't listen, she'll "never bathe with you again!" At this shocking ultimatum, Vegeta's face instantly pales, and he promptly complies. Turns out, the Prince of all Saiyans actually... enjoys bathing with his wife (?!), enough to swallow his pride just to keep those shared bath times going! LOL.

This line sent fans into a frenzy! No one ever expected such a revelation from the notoriously tsundere Saiyan Prince. They're married with kids, yet still sharing baths and showing affection – a perfect touch of everyday humor that Akira Toriyama loved to sprinkle in. But Bulma, dropping that bomb mid-battle? You just publicly shamed Vegeta and exposed his "preferences" to the world! www
As a fun refresher, in an earlier arc when they ventured into the Demon Realm, Vegeta was also teased for liking big-breasted women... Looks like the Prince's various "preferences" are all coming out in the Daima saga! www
Dragon Ball Daima is set to conclude next week, on February 28. The series has received generally positive reviews, though many fans felt the episode count was a bit too short. As Akira Toriyama's final involvement in a Dragon Ball work, everyone's eager to see how it all wraps up.
