Toei Animation and Shueisha announced the Dragon Ball Daimatsuri event will take place on October 6 at the Tokyo Big Sight, with an advance screening for Dragon Ball Daima episode 1. The anime series will premiere sometime in October 2024 on Fuji TV in Japan.
During the advance screening event, the first episode of Dragon Ball Daima will be shown at 10:00 a.m., 2:15 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. JST. Cast members from the anime will attend the first two sessions, including the legendary Masako Nozawa. Although entry to Dragon Ball Daimatsuri is free, tickets are required to see the screening. These tickets may be earned from a lottery in September, according to the official Dragon Ball website.
The Dragon Ball Daimatsuri event will also feature demo booths for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, Dragon Ball Legends, and the digital card game Dragon Ball Super Divers. For those in Tokyo, this is a great opportunity to try out the new Budokai Tenkaichi title.
Dragon Ball Daima is the last major anime work that Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama was involved in before his untimely passing. Goku, Vegeta, Supreme Kai, and the rest of the iconic crew are turned into children, prompting them to embark on a new adventure. The anime is expected to explore the aftermath of Demon King Dabura’s death as new demons attempt to take the throne.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the anime, courtesy of Bandai Namco:

Also, it is being released for the 40th anniversary of the original Dragon Ball series, taking the fans’ expectations to a whole new level.
