Since its premiere, fans have been buzzing about the outcome of Dragon Ball Daima . Rumors and leaks indicate that the series will have a shorter runtime compared to previous Dragon Ball . Now, an official statement from Hulu may have confirmed the final episode's release date: February 28, 2025.
According to the released schedule, this will be the 20th episode of the series, available with subtitles, while the dub remains exclusive to Crunchyroll . If the schedule remains the same, Dragon Ball Daima will be one of the shortest titles in the franchise.
To give you an idea, the original anime had 153 episodes, Dragon Ball Z had 291, Dragon Ball Super reached 131, and even GT Daima 's short length suggests a more concise approach, with a clearly defined story from the outset. The plot takes place in a specific period of the Dragon Ball Battle of Gods film and the Super . Since this period precedes the introduction of Beerus, the narrative space was naturally limited.
The Future of Dragon Ball after Daima
Dragon Ball Daima brought important new developments to the franchise's universe, including new origins for the Kais, Namekians, and demons. It also fulfilled a long-held wish of many fans by introducing Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta into the canon. Despite the predicted ending in episode 20, it's possible this is just the season finale, with a new sequel to follow.
Dragon Ball Super manga introduced new sagas after the Tournament of Power, paving the way for an anime sequel. Furthermore, new films may emerge, as happened with Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero in 2022. Given Sony's growing interest in the anime market, new projects are likely to be announced soon.
