The episodic structure of bothseries hasbeen extremely similar, and now with a recent episode ofDragon Ball DAIMAthat is titled “Surprise,”whichis exactly borrowed fromDragon Ball GT’s sixth episode, titled “Like Pulling Teeth.”
In both episodes, Goku and his team find themselves on new planets, facing giants and escaping for their lives in a new atmosphere while gathering the courage to fight back. InDAIMA,the Z fighters end up on Planet Mega, where they encounter not just giants but other towering creatures.
