Dragon Ball, a series that resonates with multiple generations of anime enthusiasts, has a fresh chapter in its epic saga – “Dragon Ball Daima.” As fans all over the world speculate on this latest instalment, one question remains at the forefront: Does the legendary Akira Toriyama play a role in this new iteration?
The Essence of ‘Dragon Ball Daima’
After the euphoria of the box office sensation “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” it was anticipated that Goku, Krillin, Bulma, and the ensemble would find their way back into another gripping tale. Especially since “Dragon Ball Super,” an admired chapter in the Dragon Ball chronology, wrapped up about half a decade ago.
“Dragon Ball Daima” beckons with whispers of excitement, holding certain revelations yet preserving an aura of mystery.
Akira Toriyama’s Touch
“Is Akira Toriyama involved this time around?”
This question buzzes in the minds of ardent fans. Good news travels fast. Akira Toriyama, the genius mind behind Dragon Ball, is not only involved but has taken a dominant role. He is steering the original work, scripting the storyline, and crafting the character designs. In Toriyama’s own words, quoted by Kotaku, he ensures his signature touch is vivid in this extension of the Dragon Ball universe.
Interestingly, the characters portray a miniaturized appearance, reminiscent of “Dragon Ball GT.” However, diving deeper into the visuals, it’s evident that these miniature transformations aren’t mere aesthetics. Embedded within the plot, these transformations serve as a key narrative tool, as unveiled in the captivating trailer.

Plotting The Timeline
The “Dragon Ball Daima” narrative positions itself in a unique timeline. The story unfolds post the defeat of Majin Buu in “Dragon Ball Z,” but predates the ascent of “Dragon Ball Super’s” formidable Lord Beerus and Whis.
Drawing a bridge to the golden days of Dragon Ball, the series marks the return of Goku’s treasured Power Pole. An artefact that can magically elongate, the Power Pole holds a special place in the series’ lore. Fans are also treated to compact versions of beloved figures – Android 18, Krillin, Bulma, and Vegeta, to name a few.
Waiting for the Daima
With the anticipation building, “Dragon Ball Daima” is yet to announce an exact premiere date. However, the buzz suggests that Fall 2024 will be the season to mark on every Dragon Ball enthusiast’s calendar.
To conclude, “Dragon Ball Daima” promises to be a fascinating addition to the Dragon Ball universe, blending the old with the new, and ensuring that the legacy crafted by Akira Toriyama continues to thrive and enchant.
