Should Daima get adapted into a manga ?

[Vegeta th3 4th]

Would you like to see a manga version of Daima ? This wouldn't be drawn by Toyotaro, so it wouldn't delay Super's (hypothetical) return. This adaption could clear up some things and expand on others, so it wouldn't be a 1:1 adaption of the anime.

Sure, I'm always open to new experiences of any piece of Dragon Ball content.

[Super Saiyan Turlast x4]

I'd appreciate a Dragon Ball Daima manga.

[Tian]

As long as it's not a exact copy of the Daima anime, I'm all for it.

[TobyS]

Yeah like how toyos manga improves on it's anime counterpart and fixes avoids plotholes and uses the bonis chapters to clarify continuity I'd love to see toyo or someone else do daima and explain goku is weaker than ultimate gohan and ss4 needs nevahs buff to turn on.

Yeah Toryiama definitely spent his dying days scripting the stupid little intro blurb they slapped on episodes specifically to undermine his own writing and power scaling for which he had just refreshed his memory on by re-reading the manga when they worked on Super.

This is the base adult super saiyans outperforming the kid ss3/4's if you can't tell a toei embellishment from a toriyama contribution.... well good for you, you can continue the enjoy the franchise for years to come. You gonna tell me Toriyama wrote the intro music lyrics and score next? Chose the font for the credits lmao.

Nope... I am kinda done with manga outside of original DB and Jaco plus rest of Toriyama's original work.
Super manga is weird promo booster that ran alongside the show, missing some of the adapted stories and after the show ended, took on the role to continue the story...
And Daima clearly works as an original material, there actually isn't that much to be expanded on, unless they continue the story, as Daima to me felt a lot like a prologue or first chapter to longer story, setting up some things and lore to just abruptly end.

I keep seeing people say this, but I honestly never got that feeling at all. The villain was defeated and peace was brought back to the demon world. I can't think of any unresolved plot points besides those fusion bugs, which were likely introduced to throw people off Ssj4, rather than actually being planned to be used.

Then I will reiterate, that it felt like a shallow first arc of a bigger series. There is a lot of stuff that they can build on.
Similar to Battle Of Gods spawning the 12 Universes, Gods of Destruction, etc.

Considering what a mess everything after Battle of Gods ended up being, I'd rather Daima remained its own isolated product.

[Saiya6Cit]

Well... I don't see the need for it.

But...if they ever do it... I agree with not having toyotaro doing it and, IF they ever do it, I believe something of a greater quality could work, such as a graphic novel. That would be something I could consider on buying it. It could include illustrations as in an artbook too. A thing of beauty.

I was OK with it. Not much hyped for Ressurection F, the production side of Super was a disaster for the first half, but I had fun with it weekly after years of weird recut with Kai and 2 spin-off films and one special. It's true tho, that Battle Of Gods - especially the director's cut, was awesome... and only thing that I liked almost as much personally next to it was Super Hero.
But when I put aside some of the new lore bombs from Daima, all of it falls short in comparison to the OG manga and BOG.
I don't even fight the people who say that DB is creatively bankrupt, because it's popular to say that about all the IP like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, etc. but it kinda is.
Even with the Super manga continuation. It's like they do great build-ups with intro, just to bury it under rehashing the same things.
It's hard to get excited for the same old kamehameha the same way like seeing Millenium Falcon for the trillionth of time and the most original thing being transformation recolor.
It's kinda missing that original Toriyama's wit, when he had to invent and design new things under pressure on weekly basis.
I am always surprised how brilliant in it's simplicity the OG manga is from creative standpoint, when rereading it after some time.

[Hugo Boss]

I think Daima could benefit from a manga adaptation, especially if the goal is to expand the worldbuilding without being bound to the pacing and production limits of the anime. Give me more about the ancient Demon Realm tales and Super Majin Rhymus, and I’m sold.

Is it really fair to do that though ? You could say that about anything, that it's not as good as it is if you take away a certain part of it. What makes both Daima and Battle of Gods so close to the original series is the actual world building; they both feel like they're moving the story forward by introducing new concepts and going to new places. Going to the demon realm and fighting someone like Beerus are exactly what I think would've happened back in the 90s had Toriyama continued for a bit longer.

It's definitely bankrupt. With Toriyama now gone, I expect things to rely even more on older concepts. I think and argument can be made for concepts that were under developed to be revisited, but those are very far and few between. A good example of this is Ssj4, an epic design that didn't get a single memorable fight in GT.

The original Dragon Ball was truly a product of its time. It required Toriyama, his editors, and Toei's staff to be of a certain mindset at a certain time to pull it off the way they did. Dragon Ball is the kind of product that can't be replicated easily, as we found out in both Super and GT. It may be possible in certain areas here and there, but neither was able to do it on a regular, consistent basis.

[Xeogran]

and ss4 needs nevahs buff to turn on.

Toriyama didn't establish that, in fact the last thing he approved was having Goku say that he was training SSJ4 after Buu. If any retelling would use that excuse 10 years later because they happened to read it on the Internet, then that won't be making it real anyway.

[dragonballhero]

Why not?

Bonus points if Naho Ooshi (Dragon Ball SD) is the one heading it. It's probably just me, but I feel like Toyotaro's style wouldn't gel with Daima's 'vibe', if that makes sense.
