Dragon Ball Daimahas yet to air, but it feels like a video game adaptation of the series is inevitable. Even beyondDragon Ballbeing one of the most famous anime franchises in existence,Dragon Ball Daimawill bring up some entirely new possibilities. From what has been revealed so far, there are a host of elements that should makeDaimaa unique installment in theDragon Ballseries. It will be interesting to see how the anime plays out, but it’s also worth looking into how well it could lay the groundwork for a video game adaptation.
Ahead ofDragon Ball Daima’s debut on Crunchyroll, fans have a few breadcrumbs of what to expect. The most remarkable twist revealed is the fact that Goku and friends are going to be turned into children and cast into the Demon Realm by some new foes. Even though Goku and Krillin have been fighting since they were kids in the originalDragon Ball, it has been decades since that time. As for the rest of the aged-down cast, their fights will be an entirely new experience. The new dynamic ofDragon Ball Daimawill ensure an unique set of fights in the future.
Dragon Ball Daima is Already Set Up to be Dragon Ball’s Next Video Game
Dragon Ball Daima’s Premise Could Let Players Build Up the Protagonists
A developer could make anaction RPG likeDragon Ball Z: Kakarotbased onDragon Ball Daimafor one clear reason. With the main cast turned into children, it would make sense to have mechanics based around them re-developing their fighting abilities and powers. As players go through more fights and level up their characters, they could raise their stats and unlock more abilities. There could even be plenty of customization options as well. Players could build up the fighters similar to canon, or have them develop a new combination of powers.Dragon Ball Daima’s premise is perfect for an RPG.
A system similar toDragon Ball: Xenoverse’s customizable movesets could work well for developing the heroes inDragon Ball Daima.
Dragon Ball Daima’s Goku Should Have a Unique Fighting Style
Another point is that Goku in aDragon Ball Daimagame would be different fromGoku’s variations in otherDragon Ballgamesfor one reason already stated. InDragon Ball Daima, it’s said that Goku will fight with his Power Pole, a weapon that he primarily used in his youth. This addition will giveDragon Ball Daima’s version of Goku access to a moveset that would differ wildly from most other game appearances. While other characters could have marked differences in their skillsets, Goku’s will likely be the most notable.Dragon Ball Daimacould lead to a Goku with a unique style compared to most.
The Demon Realm GIves Dragon Ball Daima an Exciting Setting
The setting of the Demon Realm offers another reason for aDragon Ball Daimagame. The chance to exploreDragon Ball’s Demon Realmto a greater extent than before offers up an impressive opportunity. It could provide a whole new part of theDragon Ballworld to map out, as well as provide a variety of fights against demons, which would be a change of pace from mostDragon Ballgames. Of course, this may depend on how much ofDaimaends up taking place in the Demon Realm. Either way,Dragon Ball Daimacould break the mold forDragon Ballgames with its setting.
Dragon Ball Daimahas the components to make one of the most distinctiveDragon Ballgames in years. While it may beyears afterDragon Ball:Sparking Zerofor another game in the series to come along,Dragon Ball Daimahas an argument to be next in line. With a premise that lends itself well to a game and a new take on the series' protagonist, there’s a lot of potential upside.Dragon Ball Daimacould already have what it takes to make a great game adaptation.
