Dragon Ball Daima Trailer Breakdown
The new Dragon Ball anime is coming in the Fall of 2024 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the franchise.
The trailer opens with a walk down memory lane, presenting a visual tribute to the inception of the manga and the initial episodes of the various Dragon Ball anime series.
From Dragon Ball GT to Dragon Ball Super, the teaser trailer showcases a brief highlight of how far this beloved franchise has come.
And the build-up from 1984 to 2024 looks stunning and really hypes up Dragon Ball Daima.
Then the trailer reveals what looks like the headquarters of the villains. There is a giant tree-like structure in a hellish-looking world.
In the midst of this tree is a castle, which appears to be protected by the tree.
As the trailer progresses, we see two figures floating in the air with visuals from past Dragon Ball episodes encircling them.
It looks as if they are inside some sort of a time chamber overlooking the events from the past.
Not much is revealed about these two figures but if we can make an educated guess, they are likely a form of kaioshin.
Then the trailer shows more of the hellish realm, indicating that Goku and his friends might be arriving in this unknown world.
Subsequently, the scene transitions to Kami's Lookout, where we are cordially welcomed by Shenron, who inquires about the desired wish.
Finally, we see Goku and Vegeta but they soon turn into their kid forms.
It does remind us of Dragon Ball GT, but since this is a completely new story, we can expect something totally different.
Not just Goku and Vegeta, we also see kid Chi Chi and kid Bulma, and they look adorable.
The trailer also reveals Mr. Satan, Krillin, Android 18, Maron, Yamcha, Oolong, Supreme Kai, Kibito, Piccolo, and Master Roshi as kids.
It appears that the curse affecting the main cast of Dragon Ball Daima has turned them all into children.
Parts of the trailer do give off a slice-of-life vibe, but we will have to wait and see what Toriyama has in store for us.
Goku, Supreme Kai, and Kibito are shown looking inside a vessel. Then we see Goku whipping his Power Pole, and he is shown practicing his moves.
Interestingly, the trailer doesn’t show any transformations, but Goku uses the Power Pole in battles.
We'll need to wait and see the kind of action the series will bring and whether Goku or Vegeta will reveal any fresh powers or transformations.
Toward the later part of the trailer, we see a giant Dragon Ball that looks like the sun.
Can that Dragon Ball be the Super Dragon Ball?
The trailer then shows a wide shot of the mysterious, hellish-looking castle with quick-cut shots of an unknown character and Babidi.
There is a high chance that there is some connection between the main villains of Dragon Ball Daima and Babidi.
Toward the end, there are shots of adult Goku and Vegeta battling it out. The trailer then concludes with a shot of kid Goku ready for more.
How do you feel about the teaser trailer? There's certainly much to unravel, but we're eager to hear your insights.
