The latest Dragon Ball television show, titled “Dragon Ball Daima,” began airing this month. The new series bridges key moments between two popular Dragon Ball arcs. Dragon Ball Daima takes place between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super in the franchise’s timeline.
In the premiere episode, Dragon Ball Daima directly References events from Dragon Ball Super. One character asks to travel to “Universe 7,” acknowledging the multiple universe concept introduced in Dragon Ball Super. This confirms Dragon Ball Daima’s place within the overall Dragon Ball storyline.
Dragon Ball Daima also presents new story elements. The episode revealed the mysterious Demon Realm realm, home to characters like King Gomah and Degesu. Viewers met Neva, a forgetful Namekian with surprising magic powers. Neva restored the Dragon Balls from stone and created guardians called Tamagamis. Some fans speculate Neva may become the primary villain, despite his initial portrayal as harmless.
The premiere addressed long-standing questions about Saiyan growth and events between past series. It offered explanations for Saiyan biology topics like growth spurts. This attention to continuity suggests Dragon Ball Daima aims to enrich the franchise’s complex mythology.
A theme of youth transforms main characters like Goku into younger versions. This fresh visual approach also creates new narrative possibilities. As the series progresses, it promises a balance of nostalgia through references and innovation through new elements that has defined the Dragon Ball franchise.
