In conjunction with an announcement on the Dragon Ball Official Site, a new trailer for the forthcoming Dragon Ball Daima animated series reveals a slightly-more-concrete October 2024 release timeframe, along with a batch of new character announcements:

New key artwork showcases “mini” Goku and Kaiōshin, along with a new catchphrase: “Welcome to the Great Adventure!” (ようこそ、大冒険へ！！).

New characters seen in the artwork, trailer, and showcased on the official website — from left to right — include (note: “English” spellings for new characters written here are taken and adapted from the Dragon Ball Official Site‘s respective article):

• Gomah (ゴマー; Gomā)
• Masked Majin (仮面の魔人; Kamen no Majin)
• Glorio (グロリオ; Gurorio)
• Goku (Mini)
• Kaiōshin (Mini)
• Vegeta (Mini)
• Piccolo (Mini)

The series’ official website is also now fully open at: dragonballdaima.com

Dragon Ball Daima was first revealed at New York Comic Con in October 2023 by way of a trailer and comment from original franchise creator Akira Toriyama. The “Daima” in the series’ title is a made-up term, though the individual kanji that make up its spelling would be 大魔; in Toriyama’s own words, …”in English would be something like ‘Evil.'” The forthcoming series debuts in October 2024 on Fuji TV in Japan, and will feature an original story by series creator Akira Toriyama, character designs by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, script/composition by Yūko Kakihara, and series co-direction by Yoshitaka Yashima and Aya Komaki.
