Dragon Ball Daimacaptivated fans worldwide with its introduction to a brand-new world filled with unique characters and villains to go with it. Among these new faces isGlorio, a gunman from the Demon Realm whose motivations seem aligned with Goku’s, resulting in an alliance of convenience. Glorio guides Goku and Shin to the Demon Realm, where they navigate challenges and introduce new allies like Pansy, yetGlorio remains as reserved and mysterious as ever.

Having arrived in uncharted territory, Shin remains the ever-cautious and calculating observer, compensating for Goku’s usual carefree nature. As their journey continues, Shin realizes thedetails surrounding Glorio’s story don’t quite add up, indicating he may not be as harmless as he initially appeared. As Shin’s suspicions grow, it becomes clear that Glorio is keeping secrets, setting the stage for a revelation that could turn their alliance upside down.

Shin’s Suspicion Grows As Glorio’s Version Of Events Doesn’t Add Up

Shin’s Observant Behavior Truly Make Him The Best Companion

Shin’s suspicion towards Glorio hints at an underlying tension that may lead to deeper conflicts on the road ahead inDragon Ball Daima. As an ally, Glorio’s role is to support Goku’s mission, yet hisreluctance to be transparent raises doubts in Shin’s mind. His initial story about King Kadan, ruler of theThird Demon Realm, becomes the first major red flag that pokes holes in his story, having told Goku and Shin that the king approached him rather than the other way around. The inconsistency suggests that Glorio is selectively reshaping the truth behind his motives.

For Shin, these small details are enough to questionwhether Glorio is truly aligned with their causeor simply leveraging Goku’s trust for his own purposes. While Goku brushes off the behavior, Shin remains as guarded and observant as ever, refusing to take Glorio at face value. By questioning the details he is met with,Shin puts himself in a safeguarding positionagainst any potential betrayal, providing support in a skill where Goku’s instincts fall short.

Glorio’s Reluctance To Accept New Allies Could Be A Warning Sign

Glorio Has Been Unwilling To Have Too Many People Around Since The Beginning

Shin took note of the fact that King Kadan wasn’t aware of their current predicament and that Glorio had instead approached the king, contrary to his initial story. Paired with his clear reluctance to have more allies, this could very well point to something more suspicious than a preference to keep their party small.Before he was aware of Pansy’s identity as a royal, Glorio was visibly unwilling to involve her on their journey. By attempting to limit the size of their group, Glorio raises questions about whether he ishiding something that may be revealed around too many people.

This unwillingness had already been seen early on in the series throughhis refusal to allow Vegeta to join, even though the group was likely small enough to easily fit him on their ship. Glorio may be resisting any additional involvement asa strategic attempt to avoid scrutinyor becoming too far outnumbered. It’s clear that Glorio is hiding something, and his reluctance to bring in others implies hidden intentions that could potentially have serious implications for the beloved characters inDragon Ball Daima.
