The development team behind Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has released additional information about the upcoming Dragon Ball DAIMA DLC. Further details show that the release of the new anime was the inspiration behind the DLC’s creation. Although its development was already announced, the latest update answers fan questions about what they should expect from the game.
Background of DAIMA DLC
Recent developments show that Dragon Ball fans were thrilled that Dragon Ball: Kakarot was getting a DLC based on the new anime series. To recap, Dragon Ball DAIMA premiered on October 11th and introduced fans to a fresh and intriguing storyline. This narrative finds Goku and his friends in a precarious situation where a mysterious conspiracy causes them to shrink to children’s sizes. Due to this conspiracy, the group must navigate the Demon Realm’s uncharted territories to resolve problems and return to normal.
Legacy of Akira Toriyama
Interestingly, this Dragon Ball anime series didn’t initially involve Akira Toriyama as he’d have a minimal role. However, the project’s progression over time led to Toriyama contributing more to the series. In the end, he played a major role in shaping the story, setting, and design elements of the game. Basing the DLC on the DAIMA anime series has special significance not only to gaming fans but the anime community. Unfortunately, the DLC was one of the final works from Toriyama before he tragically passed away in March 2020. Despite his lack of contribution to the DLC’s content creation, Toriyama’s influence in the DAIMA series is undeniable.
Fan Excitement
According to the same X post, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s upcoming DAIMA DLC will be a multi-part release, exciting fans everywhere. Even with the recent news surrounding the game, some fans suggest the anime series should have its own dedicated RPG title. Notably, commenter Bamalam shared a similar sentiment, believing it could be the perfect start to creating an actual RPG. The critically acclaimed reviews of the latest game, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero strengthens this notion. With no signs of slowing down, fans of the DB franchise continue to show their support for the Z-fighters’ adventures and epic battles. So far, this beloved franchise continues to provide endless entertainment for gamers and viewers alike.
Dragon Ball’s Demon Realm
The Demon Realm is a fascinating location within the DB multiverse, existing since the franchise’s beginning. Located at the top of the universe, this realm resides in a unique place, separated from the living world and the Other World. Typically, the Demon Realm is thought to be smaller than the known universe and its exact opposite. Despite its minor role within the canon DB story, the timeline of Super Dragon Ball Heroes brings it to center stage.
In Heroes, the realm is ruled by the Demon God, Demigra, and is shaped by magic’s dominance over science, separating it from the other realms in the DB multiverse. Adding to the realm’s complex lore, specific individuals like Dabura and Shula are considered Demon Kings, according to their history and culture. Furthermore, releasing this DLC shows the enduring popularity of the franchise, continuing to captivate audiences worldwide.
Final Thoughts
Social media has been buzzing with anticipation as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot’s DAIMA DLC promises an exciting new story within the overall saga. In the game, fans can freely explore the Demon Realm and all it has to offer. More than that, the DLC also allows fans to share a connection with the late-great Akira Toriyama’s work, which transcended the franchise to new heights. Ultimately, the DLC should be a must-play experience for gaming fans and may even intrigue certain anime fans to give the game a shot.
