Dragon Ball DAIMAhas introduced many memorable characters with its return to the roots franchise. This new series,DAIMA,acts as a tribute to the legendary author and the progenitor of theDragon Ballseries, Akira Toriyama.
But the legendary creator isn’t the only one; Dragon Ball DAIMA has one more character whose voice actor passed away around the same time as Toriyama did. The voice of this character has been given a grand tribute and will be heard again in episode 12 of the series.
Let us dive right in and learn more about the auxiliary character, Tamagami No.2 that holds a unique place in fans’ hearts and about the voice behind it.
Dragon Ball DAIMA will be Umezu’s legacy
In May 2024, just a month after the passing of the legendary mangaka and creator of theDragon Ballseries,Akira Toriyama, the anime world mourned the loss of Umezu, a seiyū celebrated for his rich voice and ability to bring depth to every role he played.
The showdown between Tamagami 2 and Vegeta wasn’t just another battle in theDragon Balluniverse. Episode 12 might be shown to the audience now, but it holds a deeper, much more layered meaning. It is meant to be viewed as a symbolic moment, honoring Umezu’s contributions to anime as a voice actor who had poured his life into this character.
Tamagami 2was a portrayal of his voice as well. Umezu’s voice gave Tamagami 2 a unique charm, balancing both humor and authority, which left a lasting impression on viewers.

The decision to have Tamagami 2 triumph over Vegeta is not something that would be seen usually, especially with Vegeta taking the helm during the fight with the forces of Demon Realm. This could be interpreted as a celebration of Umezu’s impact on the series, as well as anime as a whole.
Tamagami 2 and his grand battle against Vegeta
WhileVegeta has long been a symbolof power and resilience, along with a fan-favorite character with popularity rivaling that of Goku’s, Tamagami 2’s win against this Saiyan carried a lot of emotional weight and inner meaning, making it one of the most heartfelt victories in the franchise.
By allowing his final performance to shine through a surprising victory over Vegeta,Dragon Ball DAIMAnot only proves that it pays its debts but also resonates as both a narrative twist and a touching homage to the man who brought the character to life.
Dragon Ball Had Already Teased the Creator of the Tamagami Decades Before DAIMA Was Even an Idea
Umezu’s career as a voice actor spanned decades, earning him respect and admiration across the industry. His passing leaves a void in the anime industry; the voice actors are the hidden heroes behind any anime. With theiconic Tamagami 2’s victoryscene and many of his other works, he will continue to inspire future generations.
