Unveiling Dragon Ball Fans' Major Complaints with Daima Beyond the Anime: An Understandable Predicament

Since the announcement of 'Dragon Ball Daima,' a considerable amount of time has passed. However, fans still have reservations about Toei Animation's decision, as they were hoping for a sequel season of Dragon Ball Super to be animated. Unfortunately, they were instead presented with an anime featuring an original storyline. However, the disappointment surrounding Daima's announcement is not solely related to the anime itself.

It is widely known among fans of the anime that new characters are typically only included in the series' games if they have appeared in the anime. With the sequel season of Super yet to be animated, fans are unable to play with several characters they were hoping to see in the franchise's games.

Dragon Ball fans left furious after Daima further delays addition of manga characters to games

Three arcs of Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou's DBS manga series, including the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Granolah the Survivor Saga, and Super Hero Saga, have been serialized. Currently, the Super Hero Saga is the only one that has been adapted into an animated film in the franchise.

The arc's animation led to the inclusion of Gohan Beast in video games. However, characters from the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and Granolah the Survivor Saga, such as Moro, Vegeta Ultra Ego, Black Frieza, Granolah, Merus, and Gas have not been included in video games due to the lack of animated content. Many fans desired the return of the television anime for this reason. Unfortunately, with the announcement of Daima, fans have lost hope completely.

Fans expressed their disappointment regarding the prioritization of Daima characters in a video game over Super season 2 characters. It is worth noting that the release of the Daima anime is scheduled for Fall 2024, implying that fans may have to wait for an extended period before they can expect the inclusion of new Super manga characters in a game.

That being said, despite the dissatisfaction, some fans were thrilled about the possibility of encountering fresh characters after the launch of Daima.

Other fans also expressed their desires for Dragon Ball games to include certain characters. Predictably, many fans hoped to see Moro and Black Frieza available to play in video games. However, some fans took it a step further and began speculating about the abilities that could accompany the inclusion of Vegeta Ultra Ego in the games.

Considering that Vegeta Ultra Ego thrived on taking damage and converting it into power, fans were convinced that the character would become exceptionally strong in video games. These predictions were made with confidence.

The original Tweet prompted a variety of responses from fans. Some fans expressed their excitement for a potential anime adaptation of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga and Granolah the Survivor Saga, while others were less interested in Dragon Ball video games.

Fans were convinced that their desires would never come to fruition unless they ceased their consumption of the franchise's content. Given the franchise's substantial profits from its current offerings, there was no need for additional content like Dragon Ball Super season 2.

Furthermore, fans grew weary of the company's persistent recycling of identical storylines in their games. It became increasingly monotonous to repeatedly confront Raditz's initial conflict from Dragon Ball Z. Consequently, fans craved fresh gaming experiences that delved into the Super storyline.

Editor's P/S

As a Dragon Ball fan, I share the sentiments expressed in the article regarding the frustration and disappointment surrounding the postponement of the inclusion of beloved manga characters in the franchise's games. The decision to prioritize the anime-original story of Daima over the highly anticipated sequel season of Dragon Ball Super has left many fans feeling disheartened. The fact that new characters are typically only included in the games after appearing in the anime adds to the frustration, as it means fans may have to wait even longer to play as their favorite manga characters.

However, I understand that creating an anime series takes a significant amount of time and resources, and Toei Animation may have decided to focus on Daima to ensure its quality. While I would have preferred to see a continuation of the Super storyline, I am willing to give Daima a chance and see what it has to offer. I hope that the anime will be well-received by fans and that it will eventually lead to the inclusion of the manga characters we are all eager to play as in the games.
