Dragon Ball Daima’s place in the DB timeline and its connection to Super has been revealed according to an insider who was the first to divulge information about the upcoming anime.
There has been a lot of mystery surrounding Dragon Ball Daima since its announcement, with fans curious to know when it would take place in the series.
The new series, which premieres October 11, features Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and other allies transformed into child versions of themselves by a new enemy. As a result, they must go on an adventure to fix things.
A big question that everyone has is where in the timeline is Daima set? Although Dragon Ball Super has been off the air since 2018, the series continued with two movies, Broly and Super Hero. Additionally, the manga continued the story where the anime left off.
Insider Geekdom101, who first revealed information about Daima before the anime’s announcement, has since shared details regarding the setting of the new series.
(the segment starts at 4:30 p.m.)
According to Geekdom, Dragon Ball Daima is a “sequel to the Majin Buu arc” and takes place before the DBZ OVAs Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku & Friends and Battle of Gods.
The world of geeks claims that Daima is not part of an alternate universe and is canon in the main Dragon Ball story, as it ties into Z as a sequel and Super’s eventual return.
“The characters and kingdoms introduced in Dragon Ball Daima are expected to return for a future Dragon Ball story arc,” he said.
While he’s unsure whether it will be a story arc in the manga, anime, a movie, or all three, he’s confident the characters will return for a “major story later.”
Reportedly, this was agreed upon before Akira Toriyama’s death, but it’s possible that has changed since then. Geekdom has reiterated, however, that the plan is for Daima to tie into the larger Dragon Ball universe.
In addition to Daima, Dragon Ball fans have something to look forward to this October. On the same day that the new anime is released, the Budokai series returns in the form of Sparking Zero and promises to be one of the biggest DB games of all time.
