Dragon Ball Daima successfully balances adventure, action, and nostalgia with Toriyama’s unique brand of storytelling, surpassing Dragon Ball GT

Dragon Ball Daima began streaming back in October, but its finale will air on Crunchyroll on Friday, Feb. 28, at 11:45 a.m. ET/8:45 a.m. PT.

Dragon Ball Daima is fast approaching the premiere of its final episode, and the anime is helping fans catch up with everything that’s happened so far with a special recap trailer. Dragon Ball Daima has ended up being a much more explosive anime series than fans could have imagined when it kicked off its run last Fall.

Dragon Ball's debut of adult Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta and Super Saiyan 4 Goku is now the highest-ranking Daima episode and 2025's highest-rated anime.

Goku's Super Saiyan 4 transformation from Daima is achieved through a spell by Neva, unlike GT's natural trigger. Daima's Super Saiyan 4 doesn't age Goku up like in GT, and his appearance slightly differs. In Daima, Goku's fighting style in his Super Saiyan 4 form is more primal and monkey-like, unlike in GT.

Dragon Ball Daima has surprised fans with each of its episodes since it debuted last Fall, and each reveal has come with some significant changes for how fans are supposed to see the Dragon Ball world as a whole.

Dragon Ball Daima is currently streaming on Crunchyroll .

It was different from the original plan, but after consulting with him, we ended up having him do most of it,” Ino Akio goes on to explain about his conversation with Toriyama regarding ‘Dragon Ball Daima’.

Dragon Ball DAIMA producer reveals that the original idea for the anime series was to remake the popular spin-off Dragon Ball GT.
