DAIMA Official Account Lets Slip Images of Goku in Adult Form

We all hate getting spoiled when it comes to our favorite shows, but there are certain works that being spoiled for is an even more egregious offense than normal. When it comes to Dragon Ball DAIMA, the last work that series creator Akira Toriyama offered us, spoilers are an almost inevitable fact of life, given how popular such a series would be. If you're behind, it's on you, usually, but when the official social media accounts of the series' you enjoy drops stills from the episode that dropped only a few hours ago, it definitely stings. That's what happened with the official Instagram account of Dragon Ball DAIMA, who shared images of what could only be identified as Super Saiyan 4 Goku's Super Saiyan 4 adult form not very long after the episode aired.

Fans shared their opinions on the thoughtless post via the comments, where many of them echoed the same complaint: the episode wasn't even out on Crunchyroll at the time of the post. The incident dredges up an important conversation about the race to post, with social media having an irreparable effect on the experience of popular culture in the moment. Dragon Ball DAIMA revealing Goku's adult form should be the kind of thing fans find out on their own, not because they were passionate enough to follow the official accounts of their favorite shows on social media. An event of this magnitude deserves to get attention organically, rather than because it was teased on the feed.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is available on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
