The story promises to give the fans a taste of something new and exciting, as this story is not in the manga and is a spin-off. However, some fans were expecting a continuation of Dragon Ball Super but were disappointed.

It will be on-air in fall 2024. Dragon Ball Daima is set after the Kid Buu saga but before Beerus and Whis. This is a new part of the Dragon Ball universe.
