It’s only been a year since the last Dragon Ball instalment with Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, but in terms of series, we’ve gone a whole five years since the end of Dragon Ball Super the series, having concluded on 15th March 2018.

Since then, Dragon Ball fans have been clamouring to know more about a potential new direction for the series, and recently, all the Dragon Ball social medias have been teasing a big reveal at New York Comic Con.

Finally, on Friday 13th October 2023, a brand new Dragon Ball series, Dragon Ball DAIMA was revealed to the world and not only included the title logo but also a fantastic teaser trailer as well, and we even got a little hint at its release date.

Read on to learn everything we know about Dragon Ball DAIMA.

Thankfully, Dragon Ball fans have a release window to be thinking about every day from now until autumn 2024 – until we hear more, there will no doubt be endless speculation on what specific day the release could fall on.

Who’s in the Dragon Ball DAIMA cast?

What is the plot of Dragon Ball DAIMA?

While there aren’t too many details about the plot for Dragon Ball DAIMA, franchise creator Akira Toriyama explained what fans can expect below from the unexpectedly pint-sized heroes: “Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are turned small. In order to fix things, they’ll head off to a new world!

“It’s a grand adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. Since Goku has to make up for his petite size, he uses his Nyoibo (Power Pole) to fight, something not seen in a long time.”
