Dragon Ball Daima: everything we know about the new Dragon Ball anime

Recently, Toei Animation dropped a bombshell: a new Dragon Ball series is in the works. But, far from being the Dragon Ball Super sequel we’ve all been waiting for since we saw the Broly movie, it’s a separate series to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the saga. Its name is Dragon Ball Daima, and its plot is so unique that it has little to nothing to do with what we’ve seen in Akira Toriyama’s series… except for Dragon Ball GT.

If you’re one of those curious to know everything about Dragon Ball Daima, here is everything you need to know about this new anime that will expand Toriyama’s world and continue to bring us adventures of Goku, Vegeta, and company.

What will Dragon Ball Daima be about?

From what we’ve seen in the presentation trailer of Dragon Ball Daima, the plot will begin when, as a result of a wish made to Shenron, all the main characters are transformed into children. So, instead of just Goku being a child as it happened in Dragon Ball GT, this time they all will be children... and together they will have to face a great threat that is yet to be discovered.

At what moment will Dragon Ball Daima be set?

While Dragon Ball Super has continued to advance in the manga, Dragon Ball Daima will not be a continuation of this anime. In fact, it will be a prequel to the series and may even be set before the end of Dragon Ball Z because we see some elements such as Goten and Trunks being newborn children or Kaioshin and Kibito not being fused yet.

When does Dragon Ball Daima premiere?

Dragon Ball Daima does not have an exact release date yet, but it is expected to premiere in the fall of 2024, roughly a year after its announcement. It is unlikely to be delayed until 2025, especially since it is a commemorative series for the anniversary of Dragon Ball.

It will feature a weekly episode, and everything seems to indicate that the series will come to our country on the Crunchyroll platform, which also holds the rights to animes like One Piece.
