Dragon Ball Daima Is Done, But Will It Get a Second Season? The Door Is Open
Dragon Ball Daima episode #20 just released, marking the end of its run and leaving a bittersweet taste in fans, but will it get another installment?
With the release of Episode #20 on February 28, 2025, Dragon Ball Daima came to an end after a successful run since its premiere in Fall 2024. Despite the early apprehensions given the similarities with Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Daima was well-received by fans who, week after week, were filled with a sense of nostalgia due to Akira Toriyamaâs 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 franchiseâs canon. With its success in mind, itâs 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 wonât arrive any time soon.
Dragon Ball Daima Was the Last Project of Akira ToriyamaAkira 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 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 Daimaâs final episode release date, which was exactly one year after Toriyamaâs passing, as an homage to the manga artist. Moreover, when asked about the future projects of Dragon Ball's franchise, Iyoku said that they were âpreparing and trying to develop it properlyâ without hinting specifically at another anime project, other than to say that those will take time.
Dragon Ball Daima Season 2 Isn't ConfirmedDragon Ball Daimaâs Ending Leaves Room for Continuing the Story
Although there isn't currently any confirmation of a possible sequel to Dragon Ball Daimaâespecially after the final card of episode #20 marked the words âthe endââ 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 Kuuâs final words, since he asked Goku and his friends to come back to help them in case they encounter problems again.
Furthermore, Toei Animation hasnât officially burned the bridge to a sequel to the series, so Dragon Ball Daimaâs 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 upcoming projects of the franchise, as Dragon Ball Daimaâs ending doesnât mean a farewell to Akira Toriyamaâs story.
