Followers 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 alive the essence of the masterpiece created
by Akira Toriyama. Although Toriyama's departure left a void in fans'
hearts, his legacy continues to resonate in this new project.
“Dragon Ball Daima”,
which has not yet been released, has generated great expectation among fans of
the franchise, and part of this excitement is due to the fundamental
participation of Akira Toriyama 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.”
The highlight is
that, although Toriyama did not write a specific manga for this new series, his
influence is felt in all aspects 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
bears his hallmarks in every detail.
This
approach contrasts with that of “Dragon Ball GT,” a previous series that was
considered non-canonical and barely featured Toriyama. The guarantee that “Dragon Ball
Daima” is a production faithful to the spirit of the original creator will
surely alleviate fans' concerns and increase anticipation for the premiere of
the series, which promises to be a worthy tribute to the masterpiece that gave
rise to a culturally influential franchise.
