Fans of Dragon Ball are understandably excited about the new anime but they are wondering when exactly DAIMA takes place in the timeline.
Dragon Ball fans received the most anticipated anime news of the year during New York Comic Con, when a new series, Dragon Ball DAIMA, was announced as the next installment in the iconic franchise. Despite an exciting first teaser trailer, details are still scarce regarding the new anime, with fans wondering at what point in the timeline of the series it will take place, and if it will considered canon.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Thanks to a careful analysis of the trailer and the accompanying comments released by author Akira Toriyama, however, it's possible to tentatively establish at what point in the Dragon Ball timeline Dragon Ball DAIMA will take place.
Dragon Ball DAIMA Will Take Place After The Battle With Majin Buu While it's possible to establish where Dragon Ball DAIMA fits in relation to Dragon Ball Z's timeline, things get a little more tricky with Dragon Ball Super. The trailer doesn't show any of the new characters introduced in Super, but that is not necessarily a sign that DAIMA takes place before.
Of course, none of these details would matter if the story of Dragon Ball DAIMA will not be considered canon for the franchise's main timeline , but this is quite unlikely. Akira Toriyama is responsible for the story, the setting, and the character design, and he stated in his comments that DAIMA will "close in on the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world", meaning the plot will be relevant.
Overall, it's possible to predict that Dragon Ball DAIMA will take place after the battle with Majin Buu and either before Dragon Ball Super or at some point in the sequel. However, it's unlikely to have any connection with the plot of Super. From the information revealed, it seems that DAIMA will be a very long "side story" that will see Goku and his friends go on an adventure in a new world, and it will probably be self-contained.
