It has been almost four decades since the firstDragon Ballchapter was published. Since then, it has developed into one of the greatest and wealthiest franchises in the anime and manga industry. Akira Toriyama created separate manga before and afterDragon Ball, but none of them reached the same level. However, the legendary creator had to shift from his initial genre to make the manga better.
Dragon Ball Zwas mostly based on martial arts and iconic transformations. There is not a single transformation that is as iconic as the first Super Saiyan transformation. The fighting scenes and ki clashes became a signature move for the franchise. Even though well-received, martial arts was never the mangaka’s comfort zone. He was habituated to the comedy genre.
Fans Believe Akira Toriyama Is A Comic Mangaka
Before theDragon Ballfranchise, Akira Toriyama created Dr. Slump. It followed the story of a doctor named Senbei Norimaki and a human-robot named Arale Norimaki. The manga belonged to the science fiction comedy genre. When Toriyama first serializedDragon Ball, the series used to be filled with toilet humor and infantile jokes. Every fan remembers when Goku discovered Bulma had no balls or when Bulma showed his underwear to the Turtle Hermit.
There were martial arts, but it was wrapped around comedy.Dragon Ball Zsaw a shift in genre with the anime starting to focus more on martial arts and action sequences. Even though it became an all-time great, somehow it felt like the mangaka lost his true essence. Reddit users also commented about comedy being his true genre. With that belief, the modern generation of fans believesDragon Ball DAIMAwill bring back the nostalgic comedy genre.
Dragon Ball DAIMAis Akira Toriyama’s last work, and there is a high chance it might focus more on comedy. After watching Super, fans could feel the franchise shifting back to its older ways.Gokucasually dissing Bulma’s b*obs, Future Trunks mistaking Beerus as Whis’ pet, hurdles to face Monaka, etc. Moreover, it is his last work, and the fans expect there to be some kind of magic in it. It will be the last time they enjoy anAkira Toriyamacreation.
Dragon Ball DAIMAWill Release Soon
Dragon Ball DAIMAwas announced last year, while Toriyama was still alive. Not long after its release, the trailer was launched and got the fans excited. Some evil entity has turned Goku and Vegeta into children. Now, it is up to the Z Warriors to discover the person behind the evil doings and revert the Saiyans to their adult forms. The anime is scheduled to release on July 17, 2025, in Japan, but the international release date is yet to be announced.
Not Chi-Chi or Frieza, Only One Dragon Ball Character Can Make Goku Run with His Tail Between His Legs
Even though the plot resemblesDragon Ball GT, there are several differences between the two anime, as seen in the trailer. Son Goku will once again carry his stick and ride the flying Nimbus. Toriyama’s last work includes multiple nostalgic factors. There is no doubt about him being a genius, and joining it with nostalgia might just makeDAIMAthe bestDragon Ballanime ever.
