Originally given a premiere window of Fall 2024, Dragon Ball Daima officially set its premiere date for October 11, 2024, at 11:40 pm Japanese Standard Time. After its debut, Dragon Ball Daima will continue to release new episodes weekly every Friday. It is currently unknown how many episodes Dragon Ball Daima will receive and what its distribution plans are outside of Japan.

With Crunchyroll and Hulu currently serving as North America’s streaming home for all the various Dragon Ball shows, it is likely that Dragon Ball Daima will similarly appear on at least one of these platforms. It is similarly unknown when North America will receive an official English-language dub of the new anime series.

What Is Dragon Ball Daima About?

First announced at New York Comic-Con 2018, Dragon Ball Daima is the sixth anime series based on Toriyama’s iconic Dragon Ball franchise, which began as a manga series in 1984. Though details about the plot remain tightly under wraps, an announcement trailer for the series shows many of Dragon Ball’s fan-favorite characters transformed into children under mysterious circumstances. 

Dragon Ball Daima tells a completely original story, separate from Toriyama’s manga, though Toriyama himself was directly involved with the anime series’ production. Initially contributing notes and other advice for the series, Toriyama gradually became heavily involved with the production, developing the story, new characters, and settings, and creating designs for use in the series.

And that’s whether there is a release date for Dragon Ball Daima.

The above article was updated on 9/4/2024 by the original author to include new information about when Dragon Ball Daima is going to release.
