Dragon Ball Daima promised a brand new Dragon Ball when it premiered in 2024, so it was no surprise that the series continues to grow in popularity, with Goku and friends pulling in more new fans.

In Daima, Goku and his friends (including fan-favourites like Vegeta and Bulma) are transformed into kids. While others seek a way to fix this and return to their adult forms through science, Goku allies with their new pal Glorio for a journey into a realm of demons. It is here that they hope to confront Gomah, the villain of the series and a diabolical figure who seems to know how to change them all back to adults.

If you're confused about where it all takes place, don't fret. Daima takes place after Dragon Ball Z, but before Dragon Ball Super in the Dragon Ball timeline.

While there's still hype surrounding Daima, there is also a bittersweetness around it. It is the final entry from the original manga's creator, Akira Toriyama, who sadly died last year. Toriyama had direct input in the story ideas and character designs for Daima.

If you're familiar with the 1996 anime series Dragon Ball GT, you'll know that the series played with a similar idea where Goku transformed into a child. However, Daima has a different plot entirely and allows the animators and writers to experiment with new, exciting adventures and possibilities.

Thanks to Dragon Ball's enduring popularity, this new series is very easy to access. Dragon Ball Daima is available on both Crunchyroll and Netflix, but their episodes are not released simultaneously. Release dates for different services can sometimes be a little weird.
