On October 11th, the highly anticipated first episode of the new anime Dragon Ball Daima aired on Fuji TV, and as expected, it quickly sparked a wave of enthusiasm globally. As soon as the broadcast ended, social media was flooded with excited fan comments, and the series became a worldwide trend on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter). The hashtag #DragonBallDaima reached the number one spot among the most discussed topics, a clear sign of the impact the premiere had on the franchise’s fans. Nostalgia took over thousands of fans, who wasted no time expressing their joy at the return of Goku and company, filling social media with messages full of excitement.
This new chapter in the Dragon Ball universe is a completely original story, written by the saga’s creator, Akira Toriyama, which has raised expectations to an extremely high level. What surprised the audience the most was the fact that the plot takes place right after the iconic Majin Buu Saga, one of the most beloved by anime fans. In this way, Dragon Ball Daima establishes a solid bridge between the familiar and the new, expanding the legacy of the series while introducing a fresh story that promises to keep viewers glued to their screens. From the first episode, it became clear why iconic characters like Son Goku and others were reduced in size, which has generated a mix of surprise and curiosity among fans, eager to discover how this mysterious plot will unfold.
Reactions came in quickly. On social media, the comments reflected the excitement about this new beginning: “Incredible first episode! I can’t wait to see what happens next,” commented a user on X, while others praised Toriyama‘s decision to continue the story from the Majin Buu Saga: “Branching off after the Buu arc was the perfect decision,” noted another fan. These comments represent the general sentiment of a community of fans who have faithfully followed the series over the years.
The plot of Dragon Ball Daima revolves around a conspiracy that causes Goku and his friends to shrink, forcing them to embark on a new journey to unravel this mystery. With Toriyama directly involved in character design, story, and settings, the anime has been described as an adventure full of mystery and action, taking the protagonists to completely unknown worlds. This premise has piqued fans’ interest, who not only celebrate the return of iconic characters but have also been caught up in the intrigue surrounding the new plot.
The quality of the animation, combined with the nostalgia and excitement of seeing classic characters again, has prompted emotional reactions from fans. Some even admitted being moved to tears: “Seeing those nostalgic characters made me cry,” shared one user on social media. This strong emotional response is a clear indication that Dragon Ball Daima has deeply connected with its audience. The series has generated so much interest that many have already promised not to miss a single episode: “It was so entertaining that now I’ll have to watch it every week,” commented another fan.
As if that weren’t enough, the fact that Dragon Ball Daima reached the number one spot in global trends after its airing has left many fans speechless: “#1 worldwide trend!? That’s impressive!” reacted a user on X, amazed by the immediate success of the premiere. This achievement only reaffirms the global impact that Dragon Ball continues to have, even after so many years since its debut.
