Dragon Ball: DAIMA is a fresh anime set in the universe of the seven Dragon Balls, exploring the theme of Goku and the Z warriors facing a 'shrinkage' phenomenon.

Dragon Ball enthusiasts are buzzing with speculation about 'Dragon Ball DAIMA,' a mysterious new tale crafted by Akira Toriyama. In this new film, Goku and the Z warriors find themselves in a childlike form, taking the audience back to their childhood adventures. However, detailed information about the film is still scarce.
Theories about the connection between 'Dragon Ball DAIMA' and 'Dragon Ball Super' are emerging, based on subtle clues left by Whis and Goku, hinting at the significance of altering the time axis.
The Time Theory
Anticipation surrounding Dragon Ball DAIMA rises after a preview of the film was showcased at New York Comic-Con 2023. It's not certain whether Dragon Ball DAIMA follows the main timeline of the series, but a small detail mentioned by Akira Toriyama about a 'plot' suggests that rejuvenating the heroes may directly relate to Whis's time manipulation ability.

Is Dragon Ball DAIMA connected to Dragon Ball Super?
Whis's declaration in Chapter 14 of Dragon Ball Super about the irreversible recent events to maintain temporary balance is well-remembered. However, Angel Whis possesses the ability to reverse time with a 3-minute limit, altering or preventing something from happening. For instance, when Frieza threatened to destroy Earth, Whis reversed time, allowing Goku to deliver the finishing blow just before Frieza could unleash his final attack.
Mentioning Whis's time manipulation could be a clue leading to the premise of 'Dragon Ball DAIMA.'

There are suspicions about whether Whis referring to the time axis is a straightforward continuous solution or if it could be an initial exploration for a concept in 'Dragon Ball DAIMA.' The hypothesis suggests that Toriyama's mentioned 'plot' might be related to the established time alteration in Dragon Ball Super.
Analyzing the preview of 'Dragon Ball DAIMA,' the video reveals antagonists resembling deities in the Dragon Ball universe, such as Whis and Grand Zeno. This similarity could hint that the essence of the new series will be connected to the forces governing time and space in the Dragon Ball universe.
Integration of Dragon Ball Films
Akira Toriyama's track record of integrating various elements from the Dragon Ball universe suggests that 'DAIMA,' in some way, might intertwine with 'Dragon Ball Super.' Past instances include Frieza's return to the narrative and the divine transformation for Broly. This signals that 'Dragon Ball DAIMA' might not be a standalone adventure.
Fans eagerly anticipate the debut of 'Dragon Ball DAIMA' in 2024, predicting unexpected twists prepared by Akira Toriyama and how the author will weave a new story into the intricate tapestry of the Dragon Ball universe.
