Why Dragon Ball Daima Replaced Dragon Ball Super.

So we thought it was going to be Dragon Ball Magic or Dragon Ball Super Season 2 but instead we got Dragon Ball Daima, wherein Goku has been transformed into a kid again (sounds a but like GT). In this video I'm exploring why Toriyama made this instead of going ahead with more fan pleasing DBS Content.

[@DaveGrean]

Yeah, I LOLd really hard when he said Toriyama is the most knowledgeable person about Dragon Ball. Toriyama is well known for not caring all that much about it, never bothering to re-read his older stuff, and regularly forgetting details leading to plot holes or contradictions (or inessential but beloved side characters never ever being mentioned again, like Launch). I believe with near-100% confidence that even the most casual of fans has more accurate factual knowledge about the lore and details of the story than Toriyama himself does. Going 'well he's the author, he knows best' might seem intuitive and probably correct for most media, but in this situation it's just denying widely known reality, lmao. I always complain that Toriyama (or Shueisha, or whoever is the ultimate owner of the IP) should just hire a fan or two to fact-check every new thing that he, the Toei writers, Toyotarou, or even video game writers come up with. Someone whose long-term investment in this fictional world can be safely assumed to be purely based on how much they genuinely love it, without any additional financial incentive like for anyone that directly profits from new Dragon Ball media being released.

As a long-term Dragon Ball fan seeing the franchise losing it's edge was my biggest fear, but at the same time I always expected something similar to happen because there's something about Toriyama that all fans ignore: he hates drawing action and his true passion is comedy. And I'm not making shit up, he literally said that in a 2014 interview.

It's something I really do hate about him as a creator. Once DBZ went into space, it outgrew him. It became something other than what he was used to, because he just fucks around adding in random plot points _as the story progresses._ He had no plans for a space epic of any kind, and it became a space epic. He's good at two things. Drawing comic strips, and bullshitting. I do appreciate & enjoy the DB franchise- just not toriyama.

I think Toriyama misses the way things used to be during the early Dragon Ball days before it got darker and full of transformations. That, and he doesn’t have his original editors to interfere with his original ideas, some of which made changes for the best, especially during the Cell Saga. Nothing happens the same way twice and nostalgia can only satisfy fans for so long. But all that being said, I’m just hoping Daima can bring SOMETHING new to the table and at the very least be a lot better than how GT turned out. On the bright side, at least the anime will have more than enough content to adapt whenever they get back to doing Super.

@@joaocbcneto well, "work" - it's still an arc that keeps jumping from one narrative/villain to the other without properly exploring either (like wouldn't it be interesting to learn more about Gero and his motivation? Or develop androids as characters more? Or go full in with Cell being a horror movie monster instead of turning him into a budget Frieza?), has lots of absurdities (senzu bean moment is the most famous one) and plot holes (the whole time travel thing) and introduces transformation creep, something that keeps plaguing Dragon Ball to this day. It's also super lazy in signature Toriyama style. Oh, I need a training arc in the middle of a villain goose chase? Bam, here's a magical room with distorted time flow that could've been very useful in previous arcs, bur of course only the current threat is dangerous enough. Wrote myself into a corner by twice by giving Cell too clear of a weakness? No problem, actually he can move his core within his body and can just zenkai into his perfect form without absorbing both artificial humans, from a self-destruction mind you. At least Goku realises what a terrible and oblivious father he was for Gohan throughout this arc. That's a highlight.

Bro, you are giving Toriyama too much credit. He is notorious for forgetting Dragon Ball facts, details, appearances, plot, and characters. He even said in an interview about his work on Battle of Gods that he forgot what Super Saiyan 3 was.

[@LordProteus]

No one knows Dragon Ball quite like its original creator? Toriyama forgets about the existence of characters entirely, and even forgets names. He once forgot who Piccolo was in an interview and got Yamcha and Radditz mixed up. It is confirmed he made a lot of stuff up as he went along, leading to infamous continuity errors like Cell regenerating from having his entire upper body blown off and then later saying he can regenerate only if the nucleus in his head survives.

[@WizG.]

So he's not allowed to forget about certain characters or mix up names periodically? You do realize bro is dam near 70 right? DB also isn't his only series and isn't deeply involved in DB like he was when he was writing/drawing it back in the day.. Also Akira making up things as he goes was literally his strong suit which gave us classic arcs in DBZ so I don't think anyone's complaining especially when people say Cell Saga is one of the best arcs of the franchise. He literally made Super Saiyan because it was more convenient to draw and didn't want to shade in hair. Akira was never a conventional writer.

If you tried to tell me that the majority of Dragon Ball fans always wanted to see everyone get turned into Children or that they think everyone getting turned into Children is a great next step for the story, I'd say they were lying and that anyone who said either of those things were just coping and trying to prove they are more loyal in a "holier than thou" way.

My theory. This is gonna be Masako Nozawas last time as Goku, and Yes I do believe that super is coming back, but I think the next big part of the story in super will happen. They just don’t want the situation that Goku dies in the middle of the production. So Toriyama is writing something he’s passionate about because he wanted the last performance of The legendary actress to be his story. She’s 87 and it would make sense considering how many actors we lost in the last 7 years.

[@GeekVincent]

I don’t know people get pretty old in Japan. She could even become 110. You never know. I don’t think they’re waiting for that. Personally without Masako Nozawa there is no Goku for me.

[@spritvio639]

The biggest problem Super has is it's fast paced story style. Concepts get introduced, and they quickly just gun for the ending without really doing the proper legwork. The greatest examples of that are the TOP and UI transformation. The TOP was cool, but it suffered major problems like who are most of these guys? The TOP should have been the grand finale to Super after many arcs of build up exploring the other universes. Since we didn't do that its just mindless action most of the time, which is fun but not really much else. We also have the consequence of just killing almost everything BOG introduced. Like how many of you guys honestly want to see an arc in Universe 2? Probably not a lot of you. Then, with UI, I think it's pretty obvious. After Goku got it in the TOP, the next few arcs should be about Goku trying to achieve it again, learning and growing slowly until the big "Aha" moment somewhere down the road. Again because we didn't do that, now we have a situation where Goku is just too strong for the story. At the end of the Morro arc Goku was supposed to have a more stable UI than he did before yet somehow in the beginning of the Granolah arc he suddenly has all these problems that were never called up before. Super has a lot of potential left but I think they threw a lot of it away. The biggest case in point is the fact that the most hype thing it has going for it is a Z villan thats returned like 3 times already in canon. The even bigger case in point is the nostalgia fest Super is now.

[@doodguytheblank2403]

Thats how I feel about Super, it lacked actual story, and narrative like Goku learning more about being a martial artist. Super just felt like a shallow run of the mill Dragonball Z series extension with transformations just being thrown in left and right with no meaning, or weight to them. A lot of things people complained about that made Super less impactful to Z, within none of the arcs being memorable beyond the fights. So if Toriyama is doing this, his way then I hope its better to prove what Super was missing.

Personally if they were going to do a GT-esqe show i would have rather had them do an adventure series where Pan is like 8 and Goten, Trunks and Uub are taking care of her while exploring the universe. That way young Pan could give us the goofy moments Kid Goku had and we wouldn't have a ridiculous power creep. Also keeping in line with the passing of the torch themes. Goku would essentially be a "Master" type character like Roshi, Kami, Korin or King Kai but in his own way.

Unpopular opinion: There's a lot of potential in Dragon Ball Daima. And if this turns out to be the death of Super, while still being a good show... I won't be sad. What I want is a Dragon Ball show that shakes up the status quo. And DBS is very much a status quo show. Apart from aging up Goten and Trunks (which only happened recently in the manga... but they were already adult at the end of Z... so aging them up is hardly a step forward) DBS never really furthered the story. It's in essence a mix between a sitcom and a monster of the week show. The monsters just last arcs instead of episodes. And I really enjoyed the DBS anime. But aside from the movies, I don't really need to see it again. Dragon Ball Daima's idea of de-aging the characters sounds weird, yes. But if it means Goku can travel to other realms and fight enemies in OG DB style...? Now THAT sounds more like a shake up of the status quo! Let's just see how this plays out.

But with modern Dragon Ball, I am convinced that quite literally nothing matters in there anymore. Daima will most likely be no different, regardless of how much Toriyama will have fun with it.

Yeah once you kill the canon the franchise dies soon after. That's a mistake both modern Star Wars and post Infinity War MCU have been making a lot. Once I learned that Ultra Instinct doesn't even exist in the movie continuity, I tuned out.

Canon is a western concept and is something that was NEVER prioritized in Japan as opposed to Western comics. Dragon Ball has multiple continuities with the original DB manga being the main storyline/continuity and Super being a sequel to that as the anime adaption is its own continuity but still canon. It's not that hard to follow what's "canon" or what isn't. Also since when was UI not apart of the movie continuities. What are you talking about? Every movie prior to Battle of Gods is canon and in the latest movie T.O.P was literally referenced so UI definitely exists.@@Yodah97

@@WizG. The funny thing is, I agree. In that canon is mainly western concept. But the ironic thing is, mangas are often still sticking to it more often than mainstream western comics. Seriously, when I grab the manga, I ustally have the story as it meant to be told.

Waiting a few more years for DBS 2, so it can adapt two bad arcs that would diminish the significance of things like MUI which the broader fanbase still holds in high regard because they only watch the anime.

I love buu saga in many ways but for sure massive drop, I love how it has much comedy mix in but they really fail in much of the execution and same with buu. Buu himself is an amazing character and concept with very unique pure evil being of chaos that really throws a wrench compared to every other villain but could have had more horror moments or serious moments like giving goten and trucks maybe even giving gohan the win would have been great change if pace. Think team four star did great idea of showing a horrific part of buu that seems genuinely possible of having buu spawn mouths on his body sounding like gohan friends and family suffering, in pain, or scared beyond belief and it just gives absolute amazing idea of psychological horror along with chaotic evil that buu is. Could have been so much more but of course just doesn’t care anymore and lot much of what made of dragon ball great even what made sayian saga too namek saga great

Thing is, we already had De-Aging happen, and it was icky and creepy. Ending up with a 35+ year old woman turning into a kid, turning into Trunk's young crush and later main romantic interest (when mentally she's probably, what, 70 to his 18-21?)

[@cultistaautista]

I mean GT already had a de-aged Goku, which in my opinion ultimately worked alright, because fans have already seen Kid Goku back in original Dragon Ball, so in a way it was bringing back a familiar character, on top of giving him an absolutely busted powerup by having him age into adulthood for a second time. Super had a de-aged Pilaf Gang as an "inversion" of GT, but this time it was difficult to digest because we never saw them as kids/teens before. It's creepy but at least it was the Pilaf Gang which have become secondary comedic characters. The whole main cast on the other hand though... That's just far too weird

The manga isn't the source material for the anime. Both were being made at the same time following Toryama's notes. The manga was only made to promote the anime (don't ask me how that works, I don't get it either). But this means there is no need to give the manga room to advance before starting Season 2. Season 1 was written and produced without using the manga as a guide. This also means that the anime might skip the Moro and Granola arcs entirely. Seems unlikely to me, but they could do it.

I don’t blame anyone who’s hyped for the upcoming stuff planned or even trusting in toriyama’s storytelling, more power to them. But personally speaking, i have nearly zero trust in his storytelling or in daima, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt when it drops and give it a watch as the character designer,director and staff are all individuals that i adore their work so hopefully it’ll at least look good and maybe, just maybe it’ll have a good story

im happy nakatsuru is back as character designer. im looking forward to this, cant wait. one of the reason db anime isnt continuing soon is alot of the animators are still doing other projects like one piece, sandman and more. once one piece is near its end, then they ll start

“No one knows Dragonball like its own creator” Toriyama: “who’s general tao pai pai?” lol “I forgot launch existed” “I thought super saiyan 2 was super saiyan 3” lmao okay guy 😂

[@SniperKing-O]

The man seriously forgot Tao Pai Pai? The other ones I knew about, but how the he'll do you forget about HIM!? 😂

[@shenron7x]

@@SniperKing-O Eiichiro Oda was interviewing Toriyama & Oda was talking about Toriyama’s previous work & asked a question about General Tao & Toriyama didn’t even remember who he was & had no idea who he was even talking about. lol

[@SniperKing-O]

@shenron7x Lol, my God! Toriyama needs someone to carry an encyclopedia of DB lore for him so he can knock those cobwebs out of his head. Maybe Oda could give him some pointers on how to keep track of all his characters, because he seems to have zero trouble.😂 😭

@@SniperKing-O or Dragonball can just fucking end, or they can fire all the writers that were in super, specially kick Toriyama out of the writing room, he can’t brains anymore.

I can’t wait to see this it’s gonna be great

[@Cal_Ru]

Daima isn't replacing super, it's just a spin-off

[@naruko191]

Toriyama is probably losing it in his old age. He legit forgot super Sayian 2 existed

[@TheOfficialRandomGuy]

It’s crazy to think that the BOG movie is already 10 years old. I was so hyped then. Now days when something new comes out I just think: “Well let’s see how Toriyama screw’s it up this time.”

[@dyent]

The one that throws me is Piccolo. Okay, so everyone is returned to being a 4 year old....Piccolo as a 4 year old was the villain of the Piccolo Junior arc in Dragon Ball. 4 year old Piccolo looks older than DBS Dende.

[@joeschmoe4698]

As someone who has been a fan of Toriyama for 30 years, Toriyama was never an action writer, but rather a comedy/slice of life writer. It was no coincidence Dr. Slump was his first hit manga, he treats it like his first born child, and always comes back to the silliness of it, even with his more serious series. Fans of DBZ on the other hand, have a different image in their head, they like the edgy out of this world power scaling aspect of it, not the grounded yet sometimes absurd humor Toriyama brings like Arale breaking the planet in half multiple times, and the next minute everything is back to normal while the sun is wearing sunglasses. Daima with Toriyama in the lead, will not be what the fans want, but it will be Toriyama wet project, a project he's been dreaming about ever since GT and Super went in different directions.

[@robotboy765]

Freezer saga, cell saga and buu saga are very serious in Dragon Ball. In cell freezer and cell saga you have 0 element of comedy. toriyama has always been good at seriousness when he is supervised by torishima his editor. the problem with dbs and daima is that it's only a bad comedy without the serious aspect of dragon ball and above all torishima doesn't supervise dbs like he supervised dragon ball

[@tantonvanwinkle1966]

I just keep feeling like I’ve kept up with the manga for no reason

[@mbot1901]

As much as I respect Toriyama's vision and his skill and all, genuinely all I want is Moro animated and then I'll literally never complain about dragon ball again, I know how good it would be especially now with the current staff and everyone would like it, plus even if we don't get granolah it would still be a pretty cool spot for dbs to end on with UI fully mastered.

[@ellisp276]

They need to add more arcs if they want to do super again and super is really messy anyway so I’d rather seem this new series

If Cooler and Janemba get Remaked I will lose my Mind and that would be soo Hyped

people should stop hating it didn´t come out yet i hope its canon

[@misterpreposterous5771]

Daima must have been a godsend for the producers. It's A) A story that Toriyama is actually passionate about, B) completely unrelated to the Super shitshow and C) perfect opportunity to grab the younger audience.

[@Eru_3ru]

Toriyama is out of touch

[@caliburbeats9495]

We don’t want to watch our childhood heroes turn into gey little children who go on adventures. That’s what made GT so insufferable.

@@Eru_3ru Funny, and where's YOUR decades spanning animated franchise dare I ask? If Toriyama wants to make a goofy show with the cast as kids he's allowed to experiment. You know, like an artist?

[@onisfury8264]

As someone who was a Dragon Ball fan during the 90s I don't like the direction where toriyama took the franchise in modern day and I felt like GT was the perfect end to the franchise there was no reason for him to bring it back but nope Dragonball evolution made sure of that he came back. They should have never given the franchise to Hollywood in the first place they don't understand the Dragon Ball lore and in modern day times I think Toriyama doesn't even know his own lore anymore since he's so forgetful. Toriyama has full control over his project and he's going to do whatever he wants. As Dragon Ball Daima I really have no interest in seeing it and I was never really that big into the OG Dragon Ball I grew up with Dragon Ball Z first Dragon Ball GT was okay could have been better it has some of the cooler villains like Baby Vegeta and the shadow dragons plus Super Saiyan 4 was very creative and Dragon Ball super I thought was a downright piece of crap good ideas executed poorly and it had to rely on nostalgia instead of doing fresh ideas. I have other animes to keep me entertained that are more interesting than the current dragon ball and if I really wanted to go back to Dragon Ball I just go back to the old stuff.

I get what you saying but this doesn’t seem like it’ll be og Dragonball or a gt remake.

[@onisfury8264]

@@dominiquerobinson8888 I'm not expecting it to be like the original Dragon Ball and it's not a GT remake. I think this is going to flop just like super did in Japan

Daima is a fulfillment of fans' wishes to see Supershit dead and buried and bring back classic Dragon Ball vibes.
