About "Dragon Ball Daima"
"Dragon Ball Daima" first came to light during the New York Comic Con in October 2023, where a trailer was unveiled alongside comments from the original creator, Akira Toriyama. The term "Daima" is a unique creation, and while it does not have a direct translation, the individual kanji symbols that compose it (大魔) suggest a meaning akin to "Evil" in English, as per Toriyama’s explanation.
The series made its debut in Japan on October 11, 2024, airing on Fuji TV, and has since been accessible through various streaming platforms worldwide. This new installment features an original storyline crafted by Toriyama himself, whose imaginative worlds and characters have captivated audiences for decades. The character designs are managed by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, with the script and composition handled by Yūko Kakihara. The series is co-directed by Yoshitaka Yashima and Aya Komaki, bringing together a talented team to deliver a fresh yet nostalgic experience for fans of the franchise.
