Dragon Ball Daima, a new series based on Akira Toriyama’s beloved manga series, is set to release in fall 2024.

Xitter user @dbshype posted a video from New York Comic Con showing the teaser for Dragon Ball Daima, which features Sheron, as well as Goku and Vegeta becoming children, which is giving me major Dragon Ball GT vibes. You can watch the video below, though fair warning: There’s a lot of swearing and shouting. You can’t really hear the trailer, so I recommend keeping your sound off to save your ears.

No specific release date for Dragon Ball Daima was given beyond fall 2024. More information is set to be revealed sooner rather than later. However, @dbshype was able to confirm that Toriyama is involved in the production.

Created by Toriyama, Dragon Ball began serialization in 1984. Since then, the franchise has grown into one of the most popular anime series of all time, with various films, tie-in video games, and other media. I myself am a massive fan of the Dragon Ball franchise, like so many other men my age, and credit it with getting me into the world of anime. I’ve covered it pretty extensively at other outlets, and you better believe I’m going to do that here at The Escapist until they tell me politely, but firmly, to stop.

The news, though, may come as a disappointment to some fans. Dragon Ball Super, which aired from 2015 until 2018, was generally well-received by fans. However, it seems now like the series is unlikely to ever return. It also appears that many of the stories that have since taken place in the manga, like an arc involving the deadly intergalactic villain Moro, will not end up getting adapted for the screen, at least not yet.

Dragon Ball Daima is slated for release in fall 2024.

What I want from a new anime in the Dragon Ball universe is a prequel to the OG Dragon Ball. I want to see Grandpa Gohan, Master Roshi, Master Shen and the Ox King in their younger years with shenanigans similar to the OG Dragon Ball tournaments etc..

That would be awesome, but let's be honest, Toriyama already forgot those events.

I'd be down for this hard. I want every fucking DB easter egg possible in it, earlier adventures and appearances from smaller characters we haven't seen in years/series.

So SUPER’s anime was cancelled for a Chibi spinoff?

Edit: clarified the anime was cancelled

Wait, have we been here before? I feel like we've been here before...

Looks at Teen Titans

Ah shit here we go again…..

Super ended. It wasn't cancelled. This is not a spin off. Toriyama is fully involved, so it's canon. And it's not "chibi", the characters literally turn back to be younger.

It sounds like a Dragon Ball GT reboot. 😐

[–] ram@bookwormstory.social 3 points 1 year ago

Toriyama wasn't heavily involved in GT, and neither conceived of nor wrote it.
Hopefully this is good though. I hope it doesn't become comical in power scaling like super did.

[–] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Super has absolutely not ended. The manga is right now playing catch up with the latest movie.

for what it's worth, I've been watching fan dubs of DB Heroes on youtube

[–] toxicbubble420@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

fans: we want character progression

toriyama: fuck you, you're getting kid Goku in HD

[–] small44@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hope it's not as bad as Super

[–] Electricorchestra@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You guys going to age up Trunks and Goten? Actually removed you for asking we're going to age down everyone.
