"Hello. I'm Akira Toriyama. |
Production[]
Daima was originally going to be an anime-original series without any input from Akira Toriyama, however after giving advice here and there, Toriyama ended up becoming majorly involved; creating the story, world, characters, mechs, and all sorts of other things.[2]
Akira Toriyama handled the story and settings, as well as many of the designs.[1]
"Daima" is a made-up term, which would translate to "Evil" in English.[1] However, the kanji used for Daima (大魔) mean "great" and "demon/magic".[3] The series' name is primarily displayed as ドラゴンボールDaima(ダイマ) by official sources, using katakana for Daima rather than the kanji Toriyama gave.[4]
Akio Iyoku confirms Dragon Ball Daima will feature a completely original story.[5]
