"Dragon Ball Daima" doesn't directly tie into "Dragon Ball Super" in terms of plot, but it exists within the broader "Dragon Ball" universe and can be seen as a continuation or an expansion of the story that bridges gaps between "Dragon Ball Z" and "Dragon Ball Super."
Here’s how they connect:
-
Toriyama's Involvement: "Dragon Ball Daima" is created by Akira Toriyama, just like "Dragon Ball Super," which means both share a similar narrative and creative direction. Toriyama’s involvement ensures that "Daima" fits within the overall tone and world-building of the franchise, linking it to "Dragon Ball Super."
-
Timeline Placement: "Dragon Ball Daima" takes place after the events of "Dragon Ball Z" and could be viewed as an interlude or a side story leading into the events of "Dragon Ball Super." Since "Super" picks up after the end of "Z," "Daima" could fit in between, helping flesh out some aspects of the universe and the characters.
-
Character Development: The characters in "Daima" are the same ones we see in "Super," so their interactions, growth, and abilities reflect what we know from "Super." This helps maintain continuity between the two series.
In short, while the plot of "Dragon Ball Daima" doesn’t directly continue from "Dragon Ball Super," it contributes to the larger "Dragon Ball" universe, and its involvement from Toriyama ensures that its events align with the spirit of the official canon, allowing it to fit naturally with the continuity of "Super."
