Alright, let’s dial it back to those days when you’d rush home from school, grab some snacks, and settle in front of the TV for another episode of Dragon Ball. That nostalgic excitement, the feeling that something big was about to happen—you know exactly what I’m talking about! Now, here we are again, revving up for Dragon Ball Daima, and let me tell you, it’s got that old-school, heart-pounding thrill written all over it.
What’s the Deal with Dragon Ball Daima?
We’re not just talking about a casual reboot or filler arc. Dragon Ball Daima hits us right in the sweet spot between the end of Dragon Ball Z (after Majin Buu gets whooped) and the start of Dragon Ball Super (before Beerus shows up). But here’s the twist—Goku, Vegeta, and the gang are mysteriously transformed into younger, pint-sized versions of themselves! And, man, it’s not just for laughs. It’s part of a massive conspiracy that they’ve gotta figure out.
The Return of Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo
I know, I know—what’s Dragon Ball without these legends, right? You’ll be glad to hear that Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo are back in full force. Even though they’re shrunk down, the battles are just as intense as ever. The whole “mini” transformation gives us a fresh take, but don’t think for a second that it’s a downgrade. We’re still getting the energy blasts, transformations, and iconic moments that made Dragon Ball what it is.
Also, the collectibles! Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts line is coming through with detailed action figures of our favorite trio. Here’s what’s dropping:
- Goku – $35 (Releases January 15, 2025)
- Vegeta – $36 (Releases December 30, 2024)
- Piccolo – $60 (Releases March 15, 2025)
I don’t know about you, but those figures are calling my name!
Why Should You Care About Daima?
- Old-School Vibes, New Adventures
Daima taps into the feel-good, adventure-first essence of the original Dragon Ball. Sure, Z and Super brought us those galaxy-shaking fights, but this one brings it back to a more grounded, playful place while keeping that action we crave. - New Worlds, Same Hype
The plot’s taking us to uncharted territories within the Dragon Ball universe, like the Demon Realm. And instead of everything being about cosmic-scale threats, this one’s personal—something we haven’t had in a while. - Toriyama Is Back
You know it’s serious when Akira Toriyama himself is directly involved. That means we’re getting his signature humor, epic battles, and moments that’ll hit us right in the feels.
How to Watch Dragon Ball Daima?
If you’re in Japan, just tune into Fuji TV in October 2024. For the rest of us? Keep your eyes peeled on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. Streaming details might vary, but you know the drill—just make sure you don’t miss out!

Dragon Ball Daima feels like stepping into a time machine. It’s got all the excitement of Dragon Ball but with new twists to keep us on the edge of our seats. Whether you’ve been a fan since the beginning or just hopped on board recently, this is one adventure you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars, pre-order those figures, and get ready to scream “Kamehameha” once again, just like you did back in the day.
