Dragon Ball DAIMA Unleashes The Long-Awaited Demon Clan onto the Canon - Epic Revelations Await!
Dragon Ball DAIMA: A surprising addition to the franchise, Toei Animation aims to captivate fans with the long-awaited introduction of the powerful Demon Clan Get ready to be drawn into a new dimension of Dragon Ball! (231 characters)
Dragon Ball DAIMA didn't meet the expectations of many fans when it was announced by Toei Animation. However, it has the potential to pleasantly surprise fans. One of the main reasons for this is that the web anime will focus more on adventure rather than intense battles. The recent trailer suggests that the Demon Clan might finally become a part of the official canon.
The idea of the Demon Clan appearing in Dragon Ball DAIMA is relatively new, but it aligns well with the franchise's evolving lore. Over the past decade, author Akira Toriyama has been gradually expanding the universe, introducing concepts like the multiverse, the Gods of Destruction and the Angels, Zeno, and even incorporating Broly into the official canon. Therefore, the inclusion of the Demon Clan seems like a natural progression in this storytelling approach.

The inclusion of the Demon Clan in Dragon Ball DAIMA: Can Toei Animation prove their doubters wrong?

The initial premise of Goku and his friends being transformed into children might not have thrilled many fans of Dragon Ball DAIMA. However, there is potential for the franchise to explore and expand its world-building, making it a fascinating prospect.
Most fans expressed a desire for an anime adaptation of the Moro arc from the manga. However, there is considerable intrigue surrounding the series and the presence of the Demon Clan adds an intriguing aspect to it. In the Dragon Ball franchise, the term "Demon Clan" encompasses various elements, including Dabura's relatives and the offspring of Demon King Piccolo, whom Goku battled in the original series.
Referring to their potential involvement in this web anime, it could explore the Dabura alternative by delving deeper into the underworld and introducing diverse inhabitants.
From a logical standpoint, it would be possible for a formidable sorcerer to transform Goku and his companions into children, thereby introducing an additional element to this ongoing conflict. Furthermore, it presents an opportunity for Akira Toriyama, the author, to further expand the world-building aspect of the series.
He might be looking to add a lot more depth to the demons since they were only treated superficially during the Buu saga, which is something that a lot of fans criticized.
The value of Dragon Ball DAIMA for the franchise
This series has the potential to be a game-changer for Toei Animation. With its innovative marketing approach and the fact that it's a web anime, this show takes a slight detour from the main storyline, opening up new possibilities for the future.
There has been much discussion about how author Akira Toriyama has not fully explored the potential of the series' universe and the various storytelling tools available to him. Super Hero, focusing on Gohan and Piccolo and adding more Namekian lore through Piccolo's Orange transformation, appears to have a similar intention. Although the concept of turning Goku into a child was not well-received in Dragon Ball GT and remains unpopular among fans, GT's major critique was the execution of good ideas. DAIMA has an opportunity to avoid this if they learn from past experiences.
Final thoughts
Dragon Ball DAIMA faces a challenging task in gaining acceptance from the fanbase. However, this should not discourage the exploration of the Demon Clan and the potential expansion of the demon race. While the initial concept may not be groundbreaking within the franchise, Toei holds the opportunity to defy the skeptics and deliver an exhilarating narrative.
