Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

[Cure Dragon 255]

Thank goodness Adult Swim started going into a more kid friendly thing and now airs old CN shows alongside hardcore Adult Cartoons like Rick and Morty. Because otherwise this would have not fit that block and I think they will want to air it.

AND THANK GOD TELEFUTURO AND LATELE AIR DRAGON BALL IN PARAGUAY. I am so happy about this.

Shin and Kibito are separated in the trailer, so this must be Post-BoG era. Unless the magic somehow unfused them too.

Would it be possible to be right after BoG? Burma has BoG hairstyle rather than the post-RoF one. And the scene in the trailer look like Bulma's birthday party in BoG too

It would be really convoluted if they try to fit this in the existing timeline. It would mean we have all of the Super events and this Daimao stuff between beating Buu and EoZ.

[Koitsukai]

Keeping up with Toriyama's spirit of fucking with the fandom, this should take place between SH and EoZ.

In the Anime continuity, they defused some time between the RoF and U6 arcs (while in the Manga it was during BoG).

Since this whole convention is about Toei/Anime (see how the Manga-only arcs were skipped in the initial slideshow), it wouldn't make sense to take the Manga continuity into account.

Since Shin and Kibito are defused in the trailer, the earliest the series could take place is in the time gap between RoF and U6 arcs.

This could take place right after BoG and the wish simply unfused Kibito Kai, but I doubt that Toriyama would pass the opportunity to make Kid UI Goku.

I really hope this is a short series because turning them all into kids is the lamest shit ever.

[IntangibleFancy]

It looked better than I expected but I'd still rather have DBS Season 2 (6 YEARS WITHOUT MORO)

I'm mostly disappointed at the fact that there's STILL no BT4 news. It may be in early development, but they won't even acknowledge that it still exists. What the hell bamco?

Also, where's Beerus?

If it was just size-changing, then why are Goten and Trunks babies?

Honestly, why are Goten and Trunks babies? It clearly didn't de-age people by a set amount of years, because Roshi looks to be as youthful as most of the rest of them. But if Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, etc. are turned no younger than Roshi despite the vast gulf in age, why are Goten and Trunks turned younger than Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, etc. despite being much closer in age?

Yeah it seems like a weird spell that turns them into younger versions of how they look NOW (just look at Chi Chi and Bulma) not an actual time reversal or de-aging spell. If anything Goten and Trunks should be turned back into kids but with their Super Heroes hairstyles instead.

[Grimlock]

Tho, thinking about it now. Did they show young roshi in the manga (like a flashback or photo?) This is all I can recall atm in regards to his hair lol

No idea anymore. If I were to guess, I don't think so. It would be kind of cool to see Muten Roshi with hair again, though.

Dragon Ball GT is canon.

Dragon Ball Daima is not-canon.

Since Shin and Kibito are defused in the trailer, the earliest the series could take place is in the time gap between RoF and U6 arcs.

The outfits they wear prevent that. Goku and Vegeta were wearing different clothes during that time.

Considering Supreme Kai (Shin) is also de-aged, I wouldn't be surprised if Beerus and Whis showed up and were also children.

I would have taken virtually anything other than this. Go to Planet Salad, do Broly 2, adapt the Moro arc, do something with Black Frieza, do something post end-of-Z. Dragon Ball Babies is the lamest idea they could have gone with.

[Taglyn]

Umm, I don't know what to think about this. I've been mostly on the hopeful side of things as far as the rumours were concerned, but now that the teaser is finally out, I can't help but be a bit disappointed with the way it looks…

The animation sure looks clean and the concept has caught my attention ever since I've first heard about it, but when it comes to the colour palette and character designs, you can definitely tell Toriyama's heavily involved this time around. And I don't know how unpopular this opinion is around here, but I've always preferred Toei colours from the DB and Z eras rather than anything Dragon Ball related he ever coloured himself. So it's a bit jarring, to say the least, to see his usual manga palette and modern artstyle being officially animated for once. But then again, even if I don't personally think such things fit very well outside his own illustrations, at least it's something different from most of what we're used to seeing animated, so it can't be that bad! I just hope it doesn't stick after this, and would've much preferred it had they went with the more faithful (to the anime) colours and artstyle shown in the Majin saga flashbacks or whatever those panels were at the middle of the teaser.

And wasn't Goku surprised when he saw the two unfused in that arc as well? As I said, I think this can happen at any moment in the history, but just not before Champa arc

[MasenkoHA]

Why are we speculating it takes place anytime before After Super Heroes? It's been mostly all linear so far

[Xeogran]

Looks fun, but.. it should have moved the story forward, just simply have it happen post Super Hero instead of another ambigious canon.

They missed a good chance to have Goku and Pan interact and this being her first silly little adventure, maybe the wish (spell?) somehow not affecting her.

[Koitsukai]

If they also de-age Ro Kaio Shin then it's going to be exactly like that Futurama episode.

[supershonen]

Dragonball Dalaima?

I don't remember if there was any reaction to their separation, so I will take your word for it. The earliest this can take place is around Future Trunks saga, a bit before or at any point after it. There is actually a huge amount of time between Future Trunks saga and Universe Survival saga for a thing like this to happen.

[Rafa Fast]

Well, Vegeta is using the suit he used from 2008/BOG to Middle Granolla arc (excluding FnF and U6) rather than the suit he wears in late Granolla arc and continues to wear in Super Hero, almost everyone else also have their standard Super TV designs, and most of those designs are ditched after the ToP
But hey, maybe Vegeta and everyone just decided to switch back to their 2013-2018 clothes because, yes, we don't know
Also Goku is wearing his gi from the Super manga, the one without the symbols, from Cell and Boo sagas, he switches to his gi with the symbols in Super Hero (both movie and manga), but that could be all just a visual thing.

[JulieYBM]

So this is basically Dragon Ball Babies. Sigh... I'll give it a try, but the concept to me sounds so boring. There is so much stuff they could do in this universe, so many loose threads they've teased us with without a hint of intention to actually follow through on them. Turning everyone into babies is one of those bottom of the barrel ideas you use when you can't think of anything better to do. Why is THIS the thing to get so much visual polish? This is all very confusing to me.

Other than "the gang is magically turned back into kids" we don't actually know anything about the plot of the series, so I'm not sure why you're acting like the full-scope of the series is fully laid out now.

[Mr Baggins]

So the aesthetic and overall vibe is nothing like what your average gymbro expects or wants from Dragon Ball? And Toriyama's heavily involved?

I'm 200% on board, can't wait.
