As a lifelong Dragon Ball fan who grew up watching Goku’s adventures on Cartoon Network’s Toonami, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia with the upcoming releases of both Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero. It’s like stepping back in time to when I was just a kid, eagerly awaiting each new episode of Dragon Ball Z every Saturday morning.
This month, the Dragon Ball franchise is gearing up for some major events. In the realm of anime, the shonen series will resurface on TV screens with Dragon Ball Daima, an animation that unfolds after the demise of Kid Buu but before the emergence of Dragon Ball Super. The gaming world also welcomes Goku and the Z-Fighters in October as Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is set to launch on consoles and PCs on the 11th. To fuel excitement for the return of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, a trailer for the upcoming Bandai Namco game has been released, paying tribute to Cartoon Network’s Toonami.
The impact of the Dragon Ball franchise on popularizing anime in North America is undeniable. The series, specifically Dragon Ball Z, made its debut on Cartoon Network’s Toonami on August 31st, 1998, paving the way for Toonami to broadcast some of the most significant anime productions. Since then, Dragon Ball and its anime adaptations have consistently occupied a prominent place on Cartoon Network. Throughout its history, Toonami has produced promotional materials by voice actors like Steve Blum and Peter Cullen. The latest trailer suggests that Bandai Namco holds a special affection for Toonami.
Sparking! Zero’s Toonami Tribute
In just a few weeks, the much-anticipated fighting game Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero has unveiled its impressive roster of characters, drawing from the entirety of the Dragon Ball universe. This includes favorites from the original Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Daima, and Dragon Ball GT. Not only does this game boast an extensive cast, but it also aims to revisit the franchise’s story while giving fans the opportunity to explore their own “What If” situations. Essentially, Sparking! Zero promises a fresh experience for fans of the shonen series.
Toonami’s Future
Up until now, Toonami remains a significant element in Cartoon Network, expanding into Adult Swim and broadcasting classic anime series within a fresh programming block called “Toonami Rewind”. Even today, it’s still airing shows like Dragon Ball, specifically through Dragon Ball Z: Kai, but there are numerous anime series that continue to make their way onto Toonami. Shows such as Rick And Morty: The Anime, Demon Slayer, One Piece, My Hero Academia, and many others can be found airing on this platform. This Halloween season, Toonami is set to reveal the long-awaited anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki.
Dragon Ball’s Future
Delving deeper into the world of Dragon Ball Daima, the show has characters like Goku and his companions shrinking down to smaller versions. This is reminiscent of Dragon Ball GT for some anime enthusiasts, even though only Son Goku was transformed into a child in the Grand Tour. However, it’s important to note that the side story shares a similar premise but with significant differences.
Curious to find out if Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero can surpass other games as the best Dragon Ball video game ever made?
