Of course, fans are wondering many things pertaining to what’s going to happen in Dragon Ball Daima. However, one of the biggest questions that fans have right now is where it will fit in terms of the continuity of the story. That is precisely what is going to be answered here.
The New Dragon Ball Project Is Incredibly Close
Dragon Ball Daima Is Set To Release In October
Fans know that Dragon Ball Daima isa massive project that even Toriyama had taken into considerationat one point. This massive anime project is going to be released later this year, and fans could not be more hyped about it. Dragon Ball was due to return eventually, after the conclusion of the Super series in 2018. Dragon Ball is one of the biggest franchises of all time. As such, it is no surprise for the fans to know that this franchise is essentially eternal. Furthermore, the expansive world of Dragon Ball ensures that there is always going to be a story for the writers to tell, and fans absolutely knew that, sooner or later, this story would return. In fact, Dragon Ball wasn’t even continuously off-air despite the anime concluding in 2018. Unsurprisingly, Dragon Ball received the Broly movie shortly after the manga concluded, and, following the Broly movie, they got the Superhero movie, which, once again, was truly special for the fans to witness. At the same time, fans know that the way things left off in Dragon Ball Super, a manga continuation was also going to happen, although the story is currently on hiatus.
In regards to the anime, fans were patiently waiting, and it finally paid off rather recently. Now, fans are incredibly close to the release of Dragon Ball Daima, and in the next few weeks, readers can finally start enjoying this incredible story that is a product of the love of all the writers,and has the blessings of Toriyama as well.
Where Daima Fits In The Timeline Of Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball Daima Is A Sequel To Dragon Ball Z
When it comes to the many mysteries surroundingDragon Ball Daima, fans know that one of the biggest ones is the timeline where it is going to fit. The timeline in Dragon Ball is quite complicated. For one, fans know that after the Dragon Ball series concluded, the series jumped to GT, which is an anime-only sequel. GT has its own continuity, and it is a story that fans still admire to this day. However, after GT, fans got a different continuity for Dragon Ball, and this happened through the Battle of Gods movie. Then, Resurrection of F happened, and eventually, fans got a Dragon Ball Super anime. Dragon Ball Super is a different continuity to GT, and it essentially opens up the door for a whole new universe of interesting plot points.
Given all these continuities and sequels, fans might struggle to pinpoint the place where Dragon Ball Daima fits. After all, judging by the many trailers and stills that the show has revealed, it appears that Goku is a kid once again, and so are the other fighters. This only adds to the confusion and essentially means that readers are not sure where this series fits.
For those who want to know, an answer can finally be provided. Essentially, Dragon Ball Daima fits between Super and the end ofDragon Ball Z.This essentially means that the series is a sequel to Dragon Ball Z and a prequel to Dragon Ball Super. However, it is certainly closer to Z than it is to Super. This means that all the events ofDragon Ball Daimatake place beforeGoku unlocks the powers of Super Saiyan Godand goes on to know the likes of Whis and Beerus.
To be even more specific, fans now know that Dragon Ball Daima takes place up to a year afterthe events of the Kid Buu Saga in Dragon Ball Z.It’s rumored that the series opens with Trunks’s 9th birthday party, and given that he was 8 in the Buu Saga of the original series, this makes total sense. Meanwhile, Battle of Gods is believed to take place 4 years after the events of the Buu Saga, which means it potentially takes place somewhere around 3 years after the beginning of Dragon Ball Daima.
It is highly likely that all the characters that fans get to see inDragon Ball Daima,along with the locations and even the plot points that are going to be elaborated upon here, will later tie intoDragon Ball Super. Essentially, the likelihood that onceDragon Ball Daimawraps up, Dragon Ball Super picks up once again certainly exists, and that is something that excites all the fans alike.
