Dragon Ball Daima: Everything You Need to Know
In Japanese, Daima means “Evil King.” Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, has actively participated in the Daima project. The story takes place after Majin Buu’s defeat in Dragon Ball Z but before Beerus, the God of Destruction, makes his appearance, fitting perfectly into the Dragon Ball canon.
Storyline of Dragon Ball Daima
After Majin Buu defeats Dabura, the Demon King, Gomah replaces him as the new ruler of the Demon Realm. Gomah spends time studying the powers of our heroes and develops a plan to shrink them using the Dragon Balls. This weakens them significantly. Gomah also kidnaps Neva, the last surviving old Namekian in the Demon Realm, and a Kaioshin named Degesu, taking them to Earth.
Gomah’s plan is to use the Dragon Balls to shrink the Z Fighters and reduce their threat level. He also intends to capture young Namekian Dende to force him into creating magic orbs for evil purposes. Neva, a powerful mage, created the Tamagami, guardians of three powerful orbs in the Demon World. No one has ever defeated these guardians—not even Dabura. Once these orbs are gathered, they could summon a red dragon, a different version of the original Shenron.
Dr. Arinsu, Shin’s brother, also makes an appearance, and it seems he has his own dark plans, possibly involving the creation of evil Majin Buus. Other mysterious figures, like Glorio and Pansy, will likely play significant roles.
Vegeta and Piccolo join Goku in the Demon World, where they will battle the Tamagami and face increasingly powerful villains. Daima may connect to future Dragon Ball storylines, promising unexpected twists. The creators have teased many surprises for fans.
New Transformations in Dragon Ball Daima
Goku achieves the Super Saiyan 4 form in Daima, marking its first appearance in the canon since Dragon Ball GT. Meanwhile, Vegeta debuts the Super Saiyan 3 transformation in the canon for the first time. Set after the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu saga, the series has Akira Toriyama’s deep involvement, ensuring it’s fully canon. These two transformations expand the Dragon Ball universe’s canon significantly and bring thrilling new developments to the characters.
The Dragon Ball Super Manga
The Dragon Ball Super manga will continue into 2025/2026. A delay occurred due to legal issues and a dispute with a major Japanese studio. Toyotarou will likely take over the writing and illustration moving forward.
Fans can expect revelations about Black Frieza’s powers, Orange Piccolo’s new abilities (possibly hinted at in Daima), and new adventures with Beast Gohan, Full Broly, Ego Vegeta, and Master UI Goku.
The Five Strongest Fighters
These five strongest fighters – MUI Goku, EGO Vegeta, Orange Piccolo, Beast Gohan, and Broly – were illustrated by Toriyama on one of V Jump’s covers. While their power levels are similar, each fighter has unique qualities that set them apart.
The Dragon Ball Super Anime
Currently, there are no plans for a new Dragon Ball Super anime. However, fans can still enjoy fan-made videos. Until an official announcement is made, unofficial content will have to do.
Movie News: What’s Next?
Many fans expected a big announcement for a new Dragon Ball anime movie at the 2024 anime event in December. While the manga continuation, starting in February 2025, has been confirmed—featuring Trunks and Goten—a movie has yet to be confirmed. There is speculation about a new film, but no official details have been released yet. Perhaps we will get answers in Julius.
