In anticipation of the finale, a climax trailer has been released, offering a sneak peek at the intense battles and dramatic moments to come.
What to Expect in the Finale
The recently released trailer teases the final confrontation with Gomah, who has gained immense power with the Third Eye. The trailer showcases key moments from the series, including the battles of Goku and Vegeta against the Tamagami. As Gomah’s threat looms large, an unlikely alliance forms, with Goku, Majin Kuu, Majin Duu, and Tamagami Number 1 joining forces to defeat him.
The trailer culminates with Goku transforming into Super Saiyan 3, a form that has excited fans. The transformation hints at the immense power needed to overcome the challenges that lie ahead in the final episodes.
Dragon Ball Daima: A Unique Story
Dragon Ball Daima presents a unique storyline within the Dragon Ball universe. Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are transformed into children, leading them on a quest to a new and mysterious world to restore their original forms. This transformation forces Goku to rely on his Nyoibo (Power Pole), a weapon not seen in use for a long time, adding a nostalgic element for longtime fans.
The official synopsis of the anime reads: “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.”
Akira Toriyama’s Involvement
Akira Toriyama, the creator of the Dragon Ball franchise, was deeply involved in the production of Dragon Ball Daima. Toriyama is credited with the original work, story, and character designs. He also created designs for vehicles, monsters, and background characters, and even coined the title, Dragon Ball Daima.
Toriyama’s involvement extended “beyond his usual capacity,” according to Akio Iyoku. He worked on the story and character designs and created the world, main and minor characters, vehicles, and monsters. Sadly, this would be one of the last Dragon Ball projects Toriyama worked on before his death in March 2024.
