How can you be surprised by Dragon Ball after all these years? Taking a look at this amazing project which was launched for the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s cult franchise and the New Year.
Goku, Chi-Chi, Vegeta, Bulma, C-18, Krillin, Awesome Turtle will return in Dragon Ball Daima in fall 2024. An anime in which all these characters, and many others, will rejuvenate to the point of becoming adults again. children. And it will not be a remake of DB or DB GT, but a series with original arcs and therefore never seen until now. This is to be confirmed, but the first leaks suggest that this flashback is due to a curse launched by the two new villains of this animated production. The announcement surprised the public, but that may be nothing compared to what you’re going to see here.
A real Dragon Ball show to celebrate 2024
After Dragon Ball Daima, we present to you an IRL show organized by Bilibili. An ultra popular streaming platform in China which is widely used there to share videos on anime, manga and even video games. For New Year’s Eve, and the 40th anniversary of the manga, the company spent lavishly to put on a Dragon Ball show with real actors, and especially dancers. Children and adults join together on stage, disguised as the heroes of the cult work, to mime clashes and sketch a few steps to pieces from the anime, or sometimes more modern music which has nothing to do with it. .
And it’s completely lunar. We can see Goku and Vegeta living almost a bromance under the amazed eyes of Buu, Awesome Turtle fidgeting and doing a split like JCVD and even witnessing a transition between different arcs of Dragon Ball, but we prefer not to say more about this point. It’s obviously very special, but perhaps less cringe than the film DB Evolution. As a gift, Bilibili specially brought Hiroki Takahashi, the singer of the opening music “Makafushigi Adventure” from Dragon Ball.
