Dragon Ball Daima will return next year if all goes well and some key details have already been revealed. History, artistic direction… information that really makes you want to read.
This is definitely one of the biggest expectations for all manga and anime fans. Dragon Ball will soon return with Dragon Ball Daima, the long-awaited sequel to the adventures of the indestructible Goku and his entire gang. After a checkered DB Super, franchise creator Toriyama returns with a brand new adventure that already promises to be intimidating. The first details have only just been announced, although the anime won’t return until the end of 2024.
The first details of the story of Dragon Ball Daima
We owe these first leaks of information to the very informed Geekdom101, to whom we owe the first details of the anime, which appeared before its official announcement. In any case, there are no really big surprises. We’ve seen it, Dragon Ball Daima seems to make our heroes younger, like DB GT. A falsely good idea for many, as this whole part of the franchise’s history has seriously divided fans. Dragon Ball Super, the sequel to DBZ, emancipates itself from this.
Geekdom101 now adds that this rejuvenation is due to a curse unleashed by two powerful enemies, the big villains of this new story arc. Our rejuvenated heroes set out to find a solution to counteract the spell. Apparently, it’s said that the famous Dragon Balls won’t work this time, forcing them to find another way to combat this evil.
A return to basics and a willingness to take big risks?
A pitch that in our opinion is just the visible part of a larger iceberg, we know how it goes. In any case, this next anime promises to be rich in fights again. There should also be more blood than usual. A kind of return to basics? Possible. The first animes back then weren’t afraid to shed blood without being a real carnage, which we didn’t really see in Dragon Ball Super for example and which was often found to be way too smooth.
Finally, the informant tells us that the first episode of this new anime would make the transition between the animation of DBZ and that of DBS. Obviously, the anime would initially adopt its aesthetics from the past before gradually evolving towards a modern artistic direction, eventually combining this structure with the very good Dragon Ball Super Broly, a visual treat. A big risk to take casually, since you have to manage to exploit the thing in a short episode of 20 minutes, and we know that fans of the franchise are… picky.
In summary, Dragon Ball Daima is likely to be a bit more violent and its first episode would mark the transition between DBZ and DBS, at least from an artistic perspective. Our heroes fall victim to a curse from two extremely powerful enemies and the Dragon Balls would be useless this time.
This little bit of information, as meager as it may be, is definitely making a lot of noise and is being received quite well at the moment. It now remains to be seen whether they will really prove their worth and, above all, what this Dragon Ball Daima will really bring. See you at the end of 2024!
