With the release of Episode #20 on February 28, 2025, similarities with Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Daima was well-received by fans who, week after week, were filled with a sense of nostalgia to the original series due to Akira Toriyama’s involvement in the project. This has prompted viewers to wonder if there's any possibility of Dragon Ball Daima Season 2 being announced soon to maintain the hype train of the franchise.
Dragon Ball Daima topped the charts of streaming platforms, especially due to the shocking introduction of Super Saiyan 4 to the franchise’s canon. With its success in mind, it’s only natural that viewers still craving more are curious to know if there's any news of Dragon Ball Daima Season 2 making its way down the pipeline. However, numerous factors point out that the Dragon Ball Daima continuation won’t arrive any time soon.
Dragon Ball Daima Was the Last Project of Akira Toriyama
Akira Toriyama Was More Involved in Dragon Ball Daima Than Any Other Project of the Franchise
According to an interview by Mantan Web with Akio Iyoku, president of Capsule Corporation Tokyo and producer of the anime, Dragon Ball Daima was conceived as a different project from the rest of the franchise, whose objective was to appeal to a broader audience by exploring another world within the universe of the series. This hints that Dragon Ball Daima was always planned as a self-contained story and that there are no immediate plans to continue it.
Dragon Ball Daima Is Over, But Please - Don't Miss Out on Its Post-Credits Scene
Dragon Ball Daima has come to a close, but it went out with a tremendous post-credits scene that sets up plenty of more story and can't be ignored.
Furthermore, Dragon Ball Daima represents the last story written by the master Akira Toriyama, and he was heavily involved in every part of the series, from the character's design to the world setting. Because of this, even if Toei Animation was planning to continue Dragon Ball Daima if it became a hit, they would now possibly prefer to maintain the series as the last original story by the master Akira Toriyama to show their respect to the author.
As we made the proposal, Toriyama-sensei got motivated and wrote the whole story, and on top of that, it became a work that sensei himself (while he was alive) created everything, including the character design, mechanics, and world view. I feel like he was more involved than ever before. -Akio Iyoku
One of the aspects that points to this is the meaning behind Dragon Ball Daima’s final episode release date, which was exactly on Toriyama’s death anniversasry, as an homage to the manga artist. Moreover, when asked about the future projects of Dragon Ball's franchise, Iyoku said that they were “preparing and trying to develop it properly” without hinting specifically at another anime project, other than to say that those will take time.
Dragon Ball Daima Season 2 Isn't Confirmed
Dragon Ball Daima’s Ending Leaves Room for Continuing the Story
Although there isn't currently any confirmation of a possible sequel to Dragon Ball Daima—especially after the final card of episode #20 marked the words “the end”— the series left enough space to revisit the story at some point, as the characters can always come back to the Demon Realm. This is proved by Kuu’s final words, since he asked Goku and his friends to come back to help them in case they encounter problems again.
Furthermore, Toei Animation hasn’t officially burned the bridge to a sequel to the series, so Dragon Ball Daima’s characters could appear in a future movie or make a cameo in another installment of the franchise. That means fans should keep on the lookout and enjoy the projects of the franchise, as ’s ending doesn’t mean a farewell to Akira Toriyama’s story.
