Dragon Ball Daima has recently unveiled what is likely the final trailer ahead of its premiere on October 11. Fans are feeling emotional, particularly because this marks the last work of the legendary author Akira Toriyama, who sadly passed away on March 1 of this year. This anime represents the first significant contribution he made to a project of this scale, which adds a unique significance to it.
The concept of the main characters transforming into children has sparked divided opinions among the Dragon Ball Daima fandom. However, the fact that this is Toriyama’s final piece has motivated many fans to give it a fair chance.

Final Dragon Ball Daima trailer evokes emotions over Akira Toriyama’s passing
As previously noted, the core premise of Dragon Ball Daima, where Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and others revert to their childhood forms, has been contentious among fans. Some have accused the series of borrowing concepts from Dragon Ball GT. Yet, once it became known that this project was a significant focus for Toriyama before his death, perspectives shifted within the fandom.
This anime also represents the first occasion where Toriyama closely collaborated with Toei Animation for an anime adaptation of his most revered franchise.
Moreover, Dragon Ball Daima is set to be the first new project from the franchise released since the author’s passing, which grants this anime a crucial emotional context. While the show’s quality will be scrutinized once it airs on October 11, it undoubtedly holds a special significance given the circumstances.

The storyline centers around Goku and his companions being transformed into children by what fans speculate to be the Demon Clan. This transformation propels them on a quest to return to their normal selves. It has been confirmed that the Supreme Kai will play a pivotal role, with most of the official footage focusing on Goku, although the recent trailer provided a glimpse of Kid Vegeta in action.
Dragon Ball Daima appears to serve as a nostalgic callback to earlier adventures, emphasizing elements of exploration and discovery, albeit with a stronger emphasis on fantasy. The trailers highlight various unique settings and landscapes, presumably located far from Earth.

Dragon Ball Daima is set to premiere on October 11, 2023, and is expected to serve as a meaningful tribute to Akira Toriyama.
