The Future of Dragon Ball DAIMA
With Dragon Ball DAIMA slated for an October release, fans won’t have to wait long to witness the new escapades of Mini Goku and his pint-sized Z-Warrior companions. This series, drawing directly from the imaginative mind of the late Akira Toriyama, is poised to be one of the most eagerly awaited additions to the Dragon Ball universe.
