EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Dragon Ball Daima

[@matisebas4554]

It's kinda poetic how Db Daima is the most Toriyama was involved EVER in the series. This was his baby, his final gift to the world and us before passing

[@Yous0147]

Personally I'd say the original Dragonball and Z manga is at least as involved in terms of directing the narrative, character and plot, even if it is a more detached influence, but it is very cool to think about him actually be involved with the production this time.

[@youtubegames6612]

​@@Yous0147 I think he means animated project, not manga

[@TeeHallumsYT]

@@Yous0147 Well yeah... i think its pretty safe to say the manga he WROTE AND ILLUSTRATED was more Toriyama-involved than any of these anime LMFAO. Obviously talking about his involvement in animated projects lollll

[@Yous0147]

@@TeeHallumsYT I wasn't just saying he was involved in the manga. That much is obvious. When people say this is the most involved he has been with a visual release, I just argued that writing the original manga is a heavy involvement too, if not moreso, in terms of how it shapes the visual release, which is well worth considering. F.ex. Dragonball Super has very little involvement from Toriyama both in terms of the manga or the visual release.

UGH you just don't understand how to take criticism, fans think their shows are flawless, I just pointed out the issues XD. I'm exaggerating obviously for fun. But I agree with ya.

[@nichescenes]

@@VextheNinja Your point is so spot on. Got me ranting. Perfectly sums up discourse online and why people think new media isn't as good as old even when we have tons of great stuff and had bad stuff in the past. Totally not mark brings up that first few eps of dbsuper and the animation a lot and it's always been a non issue for me. Like I skipped it and didn't hop on till the tournament not cause I don't like dbz, but all the fans kept telling me how trash it was. Come to watch it and binged, having a blast. All the complaints that its too slow and there are jokes and so on weren't affecting me as I was having a blast seeing an old friend again. So nostalgia goggles. The animation when you were young not being that important kinda thing. Like how scooby doo not having tons of sakuga didn't matter lol.

[@nichescenes]

@@VextheNinja Sorry last bit, JJK season 2 (this will sound fanboy ish) and it's haters (just using jjk as an example, replace it with any hype show) seems to stem from it being a popular scapegoat (JJK beat AOT and one piece for most popular series of 2023 yet people threw a fit that it won AOTY. In perspective it was 2x as popular as AOT in it's peak. Though I get wanting a AOTY winner to be mind-blowingly unique and deep, popular stuff wins awards ain't something crazy) to point to all the woes of the industry. I watched an artist on youtube and she worked on jjk s2 and said yeah it was rough but a lot of them are, and they feel its unfairly labeled like they didn't do good work. They still animate their butt off and handed in great work. Just cause a few frames arent perfect people think the entire thing is a wash. It's weird way of media consumption I just got tired of outside of criticising like mark's videos. No matter the negativity I commend him and know he's coming from a positive place and enjoys media. He likes it to be a specific way sometimes (show don't tell, character driven>plot, concise action scenes) that I don't always agree is needed in all stories but he's genuine. Oh well just ranting thanks.

It's incredibly poetic that Nakatsuru who worked on DB since episode 4 of the original Dragon Ball (When Oolong first appears) is the main character designer for DB Daima. As you said in the video. He is literally THE guy to go to for Dragon Ball design. He is literally the closest one to Toriyama's art style through and through. So i am sure that in a way, Toriyama can rest in peace knowing he left DB Daima in the hands of Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.

He's sacrificed himself on many occasions and is the reason Goku got where he is today.

Unfortunately, with Toriyama's death, Dragon Ball Daima will have a very difficult task. On the one hand, this is an opportunity to create hype over the latest project in which Toriyama was personally involved. On the other after unfortunate events, this raises the stakes and interest in the show. This will also be a tribute to OG DB.

But at the same time it's hard *not* to question why they aren't continuing Super yet in anime form, especially now that there's two full arcs and a prequel arc to the Super Heroes movie, as well as additional content added to the Super Hero movie + post-Super Hero content.

Mark, as someone who's always been hyped for Daima,, thank you and your entire production team for this video. I've noticed a largely negative reaction to Daima so far from the Western fandom judging it off the basis that "Oh no! Goku's a kid again, this must be nothing more than GT Redux." I've never understood this take because 1) the show's not even out yet and 2) every single sneak peek and piece of behind the scenes info we get looks wonderful, and I haven't been this excited for a Dragon Ball project in a while.

[@TayoEXE]

I've noticed that too. People seem to forget the entirety of Dragon Ball. In the west, a lot of people haven't even seen or read the original DB... I just got done rewatching it.

[@davidburton4836]

@@TayoEXE Exactly! Most Western fans have only seen Z, and even then they haven't seen all of it, getting most of their info on the story through video games, or fan made forums where misinformation is basically self sustaining in a never ending cycle of "Well I heard..." and "I read somewhere..." with no one ever citing a source, or if they do, it's always some nebulous interview with Toriyama that they can't find and may not have ever even happened. Not to mention how few have actually read the manga, and actually still hold dated misconceptions like Kurinin naming his daughter after his ex, not realizing that said ex was never canon to begin with. Or the people that think only the things are 100% canon are worth discussing come to think of it, but that's a whole other can of worms. Sorry for the mini rant, but as a Western Dragon Ball fan, I have a little bit of gripes with some of my cohorts. Also, I'm not saying you have to know everything about Dragon Ball to be a fan, just that you shouldn't judge something for not being Dragon Ball without knowing what Dragon Ball has been.

As much as I wanted a continuation of DBS, I really am hyped to see what Daima has to share after watching this video because I was scared it was going to turn out looking like the early days of DBS.

I still can't wait to see what this show has in store at the end of this year.

[@davidburton4836]

@@geeked5883 That's the right attitude to have. You should watch GT if you can, as it has some of the best ideas for Dragon Ball stories in the franchise, even if they aren't executed very well. Not to mention that it has the best ending in the franchise so far, feeling like a definitive cap to Goku's story. Just know that it's a sequel to the animated continuity, and contradicts Toriyama's manga in several ways, some quite glaring. Even though it's been ousted from continuity by Super, it still has it's own ideas that are worth discussing.

Your entire comment just sounds like “Oh but look guys!!

Reading through the trilogy together and watching the movies he wrote has been such a treat and such a great reminder of why I fell so in love with it all those years ago. I had only really heard about Daima in passing, but this video made me so excited (and deeply unprepared to feel his loss again) to see it. Thanks for this! Very informational and exciting.

19:23 I've considered my self a Dragonball fan for over 5 years now and I can finally witness a weekly DB show. Feels wierd hearing Mark talk about new fans and then realizing I am technically part of these "new fans" lmao (also Mark, hope I made you feel old with that one lol)

[@bryantan492]

One final gift that I'm afraid to open. There are no other gifts after this one. I will happily watch this series when im ready.

[@aaronpresa4597]

That animation looks freaking amazing that's what I've been waiting for all this time I wish there was more of super saiyan blue and ultra instinct with this quality . I also like this will not be just a tournament , but more good story telling that has been missing since dragonball z in my opinion.

[@jaytoochill_]

I’m just now looking into Damia. I just hate how they dumbed goku down in super to appeal to kids. And changing them into kids just turns away my interest. Was done once in GT with Goku and all the children stuff just doesn’t appeal to me. All my opinion and hopefully there’s something for me to enjoy in it.

I just wanna know why they young tho

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

2:50 agreed, why as an adult I kind of started disliking Dragon Ball. I too like action as much as the next person... but there needs to be purpose behind it. I disliked Z on rewatches, Buu saga I did enjoy watching for the 1st time... pffff 8 years ago. Super though intense and the fights can be fun from that... when they get dragged out, and there's no consequences. I constantly think of Roshi having a "death scare" in the ToP... I love Roshi, one of my favorite characters... but I felt almost nothing because there were no stakes. OG DB though I do love and love to rewatch. For same reasons you mentioned, it's an adventure. The journey makes the joy, when there's a fight, a tournament, it makes it sweeter. When someone has a near death or does die experience you feel the weight, even on rewatching, especially when bringing back to the dead was either a 1 time thing or not a guarantee, they had to freeze Krillin and Roshi to prevent decomposition, otherwise they may have not came back to life or not as themselves, as zombies with the wish. ... I can't speak on GT lol, I remember loving it for similar reasons... but I'm too afraid to rewatch it as an adult lol. The ending though, mwah I have rewatched and do think is a perfect send off. Just that final fight against Omega Shenron, maybe Nuova since it's the 4 star ball, it means something to us and Goku, then Goku leaving with Shenron. Toriyama voiced this as well post Super, and it's why Broly's movie and Super Hero had a motivation to push our heroes to unlock new forms or Gogeta being... more canon than he was before lol, since Z fusion Reborn is ehhh not likely canon, and GT... depends on who you ask. There was purpose, reason, a journey from point A to point B. So if Toriyama put his all into Daima post Broly and Super Hero... This could be one of the best Dragon Ball things ever. Even if it isn't, I'm going to give it the respect it deserves as his final push to go even further beyond.

[@manyppI2]

I didn't finish the digimon tri movies, but digimon as a whole franchise, as a fan myself, feels like whoever is in charge of the brand is struggling to figure out what to *do* with the IP, whether that be just "in general" or in trying to grow the brand positively, imo

[@LurkingLeviathan]

The lore drops and implications in just the first episode of Daima made my head explode ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@altoid3453]

I wasn't hyped for daima until now.

[@johnschwalb]

Honestly I think the next project should be a modern reanimation of dragon ball with the filler cut out closely fallowing the manga all the way though. You could even make updates to the story to fix the retcons. Doing this I think would give people creating dragon ball in the future an understanding of it.

[@yarukineez0]

Bro, just wanted to say that I really appreciate you pronouncing Japanese names correctly. Such a rare thing in the anime KZbinr space that's always rubbed me the wrong way

Hey mark. Great work on this. you definitely turned me around on daima.I'm very excited for the future of dragon ball. As an aside, I'd love a series of Digimon videos as it's something that I've always loved. And is way better than anyone gives it credit for.

With Super he showed he lost his Magic so i expect nothing amazing.

[@whotfduece08]

@@Holland4evahh bro not all of those decisions were his

[@Holland4evahh]

@@whotfduece08 Yeah sure. But i watched parts of dbz again and for example when Frieza survives the spirit bomb and shoots Piccolo and kills Krillin the tension is so high, you just feel it, followed by a classic moment with Goku turning SS. In Super i never have any moments of tension. Frieza returns, Jiren is stronger, whatever, always feels like they will just power up some more and they will make it. I do like the sense of humor in Super and Beerus is a great character.

[@briansilva3765]

Super Broly`s success changed Toei for the better a lot, even series who historically always were made on the cheap like Digimon, suddenly got consistent quality animation, not to mention how unbelievable One Piece looks for a weekly show. Glad Toriyama managed to live long enough to make what looks like is his personal vision.

I am starting to think that TNM has forgotten that he ever started reviewing Hajime No Ippo.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

He hasn't. He stated in the video that he's waiting for enough material to be officially localised as with everything he covers on the channel

[@omni1139]

He released his review for the rookie tournament but started reviewing YYH, and then just stopped.

[@yuitrigger]

Rest in power Akira Toriyama sir. Thank for this video Mark, this information that you shared has me more exited for Diama. Btw I had no idea there were so many dragon ball v jump covers, so i can't really guess them but time to do some research.

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

People write off GT saying Toriyama had no involvement, but he did design the worlds, the characters, all the studio did was really make a plot to get from his A planet to B planet, even the name he came up with. With that being said this shows just from the trailer to be going a similar direction. While Toriyama didn't hate, and did actually like GT to some extent... think it was the right call and why he went full in on this. Even if he liked it, so the fans weren't disappointed with another GT. I just hope this wasn't why he passed, like usual Japanese workers, putting their everything into it that drives them literally to kill themselves. I'm sure Toriyama had more freedom than the average worker obviously, and I am excited for it... I just hope that this wasn't the reason why, that he pushed himself to go even further beyond, did... but at a cost. That this is the most he put into it, probably since the og DB, even more so since he like you said did involve himself on the anime side of things too, not just letting his manga getting adapted. Even if it turns out bad, unlikely but IF... I hope people still give it the respect it deserves.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

this really feels like Toriyama knew this would be his final Dragon Ball work, the involvement, the call for an All-Star crew, the need to let them cook, the very idea of this show being The Peak Toriyama since the first arc of the original Journey to the West parody that was the OG Manga

[@TheFormidibleDan]

Tri is definitely divisive in the Digimon community. Speaking on just the writing it feels like it gets the focus wrong, flanking the interpersonal conflicts that made Adventure so beloved on both sides with dense worldbuilding that fleshes out lore our heroes barely had a part in.

[@JoshuaDMarti]

Really a shame that Toriyama had to unfortunately PASS AWAY so most of his so-called "fans" could understand that they have to give a new project the chance to at least RELEASE before spitting uneeded hate. For many years so many people tried their hardest to deny Toriyama's efforts while working on Super by either saying they would ignote because of Toei who wanted more free money whilw doing the minum or that it was all just Toyotarou's fault that Dragon Ball "is lame now" so they could have a free pass to shit on "modern dragon ball" and the first thing that you all did when Daima was announced was to shit on it even when Toriyama clearly gave his all for it too, and it hasn't even dropped yet.

[@jaguarnero]

Really true, dude! DB fans are sometimes the most ungrateful and toxic fans ever. For that particular crowd of people, my take is that it’s all about the anime muscles for them, and the shiny-colored hair.
