Dragon Ball Daima Finale Will Pay Tribute to Akira Toriyama in a Touching Way

The upcoming 20th episode, which might be the final one, of “Dragon Ball Daima” is about to air. This series, in essence a modern take on “Dragon Ball GT”, has kept shonen fans guessing with its storyline that follows the Z-Fighters as they traverse the Demon Realm. In an effort to offer more unexpected twists, the finale of this prequel series will pay homage to the late creator Akira Toriyama, who played a significant role in “Daima”, one of his last works. Given Toriyama’s immense impact on the anime industry, it’s fitting that this new anime would honor the man who revolutionized it forever.

Last year, on March 1st, it was deeply saddening to learn about the passing of Akira Toriyama. His influence extended far beyond anime creators and fans worldwide, with nations like France and China also acknowledging his remarkable achievements. In North America, the final episode of ‘Dragon Ball Daima’ is scheduled for February 28th, but in Japan, it will air from that date until March 1st. This timing is significant as it coincides with the anniversary of Toriyama’s death, offering a poignant tribute by concluding Goku’s adventures in the Demon Realm on this day.

Is Daima Done?

Currently, enthusiasts of Dragon Ball Daima are uncertain whether the upcoming episode will mark the final chapter of the series or just the beginning of multiple seasons. Although the story occurs before Dragon Ball Super, there might be significant events left to explore if Toei Animation intends to showcase these versions of the Z-Fighters. Intriguingly, a producer associated with the anime franchise has suggested that the Dragon Ball series could continue telling new stories for many decades.

Last year, when Akira Toriyama sadly passed away, it came to light that he had been working on multiple projects prior to his demise, with “Dragon Ball Daima” being one of the most significant. The latest chapter of “Dragon Ball Super’s” manga, penned by Toriyama himself, was recently published, leaving fans intrigued about any other works that the late mangaka may have been involved in before his passing. Naturally, there are still some major storylines from the Super manga that need to be adapted into animation, such as the Moro and Granolah Arcs.

How Will Dragon Ball Daima End?

In the second-to-last installment of Daima, grown-up Goku underwent a remarkable metamorphosis called Super Saiyan 4, aiming to vanquish the Demon Lord Gomah. Fans of the anime are eagerly anticipating the twentieth episode for several reasons, including uncovering details about this new Super Saiyan transformation and speculating whether Gohan might show up. No matter how Daima concludes, it’s shaping up to go out with a big explosion.
