Dragon Ball Daima, the highly anticipated addition to the Dragon Ball franchise, is set to premiere in the fall slate of 2024. After Akira Toriyama's tragic passing, the fans of Daima are desperately waiting to see what his last product will look like. A lot of updates have come around, along with the final release date. Thus, here is all you need to know about the latest intel.

What is Dragon Ball Daima About?

The official updates on the new series tell us that Dragon Ball Daima will feature familiar faces such as Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma. But what is interesting is that all of them will be in their younger forms. However, unlike Dragon Ball GT, where Goku reverts to a child, this series sees multiple characters de-aged for reasons yet to be fully explained.

The anime promises a new twist on the established lore, with 'Daima' potentially symbolizing 'evil' in Japanese kanji, hinting at a darker narrative. Fans can expect action-packed adventures and Akira Toriyama's classic touch of action.


Cast and Crew

As per the updates from ANN, legendary voice actor Masako Nozawa will return to voice Son Goku, continuing her long-standing role in the franchise. Joining her are:

  • Yumiko Kobayashi as Supreme Kai (Mini)
  • Kōki Uchiyama as Glorio
  • Fairouz Ai as Panzy
  • Showtaro Morikubo as Gomah
  • Junya Enoki as Degesu
  • Yōko Hikasa as Dr. Arinsu
