Iyoku highlighted that Dragon Ball's strength lies in its action scenes , which have evolved over the years.

"Action is Dragon Ball's strong point, and Toei Animation has an advantage in this area. Creating unique and unparalleled action scenes is a constant challenge, but that's what motivates us," he explained.

He also highlighted that the characters' ability to fly and fight in the air is a striking difference.

"Many action films are based on grounded battles, but in Dragon Ball, all the characters fly. That's something that really sets us apart."

However, another aspect that Iyoku highlighted was the construction of a complete and imaginative universe.

"Dragon Ball creates a truly fantastical world. This time, in Dragon Ball Daima , we explore the Demon World, but there's also the Celestial World, Hell, and much more. It's a rich universe full of possibilities," he said.

He compared this to other works that are more based in reality, highlighting that the work's creative freedom is one of the reasons for its enduring success.

"The diversity of characters, from humans to aliens, with thoughts and principles different from our own, is something that captivates the audience. Everything is so well-constructed that it evokes genuine emotions. There aren't many worlds entirely based on imagination like Dragon Ball," Iyoku added.

Therefore, episodes of the current Daima series are released every Friday at 11:40 pm JST and are available on Crunchyroll , with a subtitled option.
