Description of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball Daima

Hello, my name is Akira Toriyama. I am currently working on a new Dragon Ball. The title is “Dragon Ball DAIMA”. “DAIMA” is a compound term, which in Japanese means “evil”. Due to a conspiracy, Son Goku and his friends are turned into children. To set things right, they go to a new world! It is a great adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world.

As Son Goku has to deal with his small size, he once again uses the “Magic Staff” to fight, something that hasn’t been seen in a long time. I created the story and scenarios, as well as many designs. I’m currently working hard, even harder than usual! Things that will solve the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world will be developed. I hope you enjoy these different, cute, and powerful battles!
