About Dragon Ball Daima

Goku and company were living peaceful lives when they suddenly turned small due to a conspiracy! When they discover that the reason for this may lie in a world known as the "Demon Realm," a mysterious young Majin named Glorio appears before them.

Dragon Ball Daima is directed by Yoshitaka Yashima and Aya Komaki together with series composition and script by Yūko Kakihara and animation character design by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.

The series features the opening theme song “Jaka Jaan” composed by Grammy Award-winning artist Zedd with support from C&K, the singer-songwriting duo of CLIEVY and KEEN, who also provided vocals. Lyrics are by Yukinojo Mori, best known for the Dragon Ball franchise songs “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” and “Limit Break x Survivor.” This song and the powerhouse collaboration behind it mark a new page in Dragon Ball history. Zedd also produced the ending song “'NAKAMA' by ZEDD feat. AI,” whose lyrics were written and sung by the artist AI.

Dragon Ball Daima was revealed to the world last October to thunderous applause at the Dragon Ball Special Panel during New York Comic Con 2023. This new episodic series celebrates the birth of the global Dragon Ball phenomenon — commemorating its 40th anniversary. Created by Akira Toriyama, Dragon Ball first launched in 1984 in Shueisha's “Weekly Shonen Jump” and since then has sold an astounding 260 million copies worldwide and counting.

Dragon Ball Daima began streaming on Crunchyroll on October 11, 2024 in Japanese with subtitles.
