Iyoku shared a written message from Akira Toriyama:
"Hello. I'm Akira Toriyama. I'm currently working on a new Dragon Ball. The title is 'Dragon Ball Daima,' an invented term that in Japanese characters would be '大魔' or in English something like 'Evil.'"
Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends are transformed into tiny beings. To fix things, they will set off for a new world! It's a grand adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. As Goku has to compensate for his small size, he uses his Nyoibo (Pole Power) to fight, something that hasn't been seen in a long time. I created the story and settings, as well as many of the designs. I'm putting much more into this than usual! Things will be revealed that get closer to the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world. I hope you enjoy these unusual battles that are both cute and powerful!”
The characters in the title 大 and 魔 should be familiar to many Dragon Ball fans, with 大 (dai) regularly used for things like the Great Demon King Piccolo (ピッコロ大魔王) or the Great King Enma (閻魔大王), while 魔 (ma) is the same as 魔人 (majin).
Furthermore, the Dragon Ball Super premiered in July 2015 and aired for 131 episodes until March 2018. Funimation and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired, and Funimation released the series on streaming services.
Subsequently, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero premiered in Japan in June 2022 and in the United States in August. Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures streamed the film in theaters worldwide. Ultimately, screenings included both the original Japanese audio with subtitles and dubbing, with the film being shown in 13 dubbed languages and 29 subtitled languages.
