The franchise of “Dragon Ball“It is still more alive than ever, and proof of them is the premiere of”Dragon Ball Daima“, A new original series that is transmitted from Autumn-2024 (October-December). This project not only marks the return of the franchise to television after six years since the end of “Dragon Ball Super“But It is also special because Akira Toriyama was completely involved in its development, taking care of the history and design of characters.
But how was the idea of making “Dragon Ball Daima”? According to Akio Iyoku, executive producer of the brand, it all started six years ago, while working on the movie “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero.” At that time, the idea of a new animated series that will be developed in parallel to the films was proposed. The original intention was that Toriyama only supervises some aspects, but in the end, he ended up immersing himself completely in the project.
Thus, during the development of “Dragon Ball Daima”, Toriyama began to launch ideas about the demonic kingdom and the new characters, which led to the construction of a completely original story. According to Iyoku, the author was very excited, since it was the first time he worked in an animated series from scratch, unlike previous projects. Even the anime began to occur before the story was completely finished, which led the author to remember those times when he published the original manga in the Weekly Shonen Jump.
One of the great objectives is that “Dragon Ball Daima” could be enjoyed by both the big and the little ones. Showing Son Goku and his friends as children was designed as a concept that inevitably remembers “Dragon Ball GT”, and that was completely intentional to attract nostalgic. Now, the production team has confirmed that “Dragon Ball Daima” is canonical and takes place after the Majin Buu saga in the original manga.
Producer Akio Iyoku made it clear that, although Toriyama is no longer with us, his influence will continue to guide the future of the franchise. During the interview, he commented that «Toriyama left his legacy in Dragon Ball. Its essence will remain alive in the series and in the heart of all those who work in it». He also mentioned something that surprised the fans: The franchise is prepared to move forward for the next 50 years. «Dragon Ball will not end with Daima. We want it to continue evolving and growing for a long time»Iyoku said.
