Dragon Ball Daima was Akira Toriyama's last big dream

Fans of the iconic anime series "Dragon Ball" have received exciting news about the upcoming release of "Dragon Ball Daima," a new anime that promises to keep the essence of the masterpiece created by Akira Toriyama alive. Although Toriyama's departure left a void in the hearts of fans, his legacy continues to resonate in this new project.

"Dragon Ball Daima," which has yet to be released, has generated great anticipation among fans of the franchise, and part of this excitement is due to Akira Toriyama's pivotal involvement in its creation. Despite his tragic loss, the show's producers have assured fans that Toriyama's impact on the series is undeniable.

According to recent revelations, Akio Iyoku, the executive producer of "Dragon Ball Daima," shared details about the crucial role Toriyama played in the development of the anime. Unlike previous installments like "Dragon Ball," "Dragon Ball Z," and "Dragon Ball Super," which were based on mangas previously created by Toriyama, "Dragon Ball Daima" features a completely original story set between "Dragon Ball Z" and "Dragon Ball Super."

Most notably, even though Toriyama didn't write a specific manga for this new series, his influence is felt in every aspect of the production. Iyoku revealed that Toriyama wrote the entire story of "Dragon Ball Daima" and was deeply involved in the design of the characters, including the creation of the machinery that is part of the series' universe. This means that the show's aesthetic is not only "inspired" by Toriyama's signature style, but carries his hallmark on every detail.

This approach contrasts with that of "Dragon Ball GT," an earlier series that was considered non-canon and barely featured Toriyama. The guarantee that "Dragon Ball Daima" will be a production true to the spirit of the original creator will surely ease fans' concerns and increase anticipation for the premiere of the series, which promises to be a worthy tribute to the masterpiece that gave birth to an entire culturally influential franchise.
