"Hello. I'm Akira Toriyama. |
Production[]
Key visual of Dragon Ball Daima
Daima was originally going to be an anime-original series without any input from Akira Toriyama, however after giving advice here and there, Toriyama ended up becoming majorly involved; creating the story, world, characters, mechs, and all sorts of other things.[6]
Akira Toriyama handled the story and settings, as well as many of the designs.[1]
"Daima" is a made-up term, which would translate to "Evil" in English.[1] However, the kanji used for Daima (大魔) mean "great" and "demon/magic".[7] The series' name is primarily displayed as ドラゴンボールDaima(ダイマ) by official sources, using katakana for Daima rather than the kanji Toriyama gave.[8]
Akio Iyoku confirms Dragon Ball Daima will feature a completely original story.[9]
Story[]
Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are turned small. In order to fix things, they'll head off to a new world! It's a grand adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. Since Goku has to make up for his petite size, he uses his Power Pole to fight, something not seen in a long time.
