Dragon Ball DAIMA brings a fresh twist to the Dragon Ball universe while invoking some familiar themes that longtime fans will recognize. The plot centers around a mysterious conspiracy that transforms Goku, Vegeta, and other beloved characters into smaller, childlike versions of themselves. This setup echoes elements from Dragon Ball GT, where Goku was similarly turned into a child. Unlike the latter, however, the former is confirmed to be canon.
With their curious circumstance, the heroes must now embark on a perilous journey to discover the source of this transformation and restore themselves to their original forms. Along the way, they will explore a completely new world — the Demon Realm.
You can catch Goku and Co.’s shenanigans via Crunchyroll.
