Dragon Ball Daima’s Finale Will Release On The First Anniversary Of Akira Toriyama’s Passing, Serving As A Heartfelt Tribute

Dragon Ball Daima’s final episode’s air date is set for February 28, 2025, transitioning to March 1st. This timing can be attributed to the fact that it is one year after the passing of Akira Toriyama, the legendary creator behind the Dragon Ball series. Although it is unknown if this was a planned coincidence, most of the fans perceived this as an acknowledgment to the man who can be credited with making anime mainstream; without him, we would have anime as it is now.

Since its release in October 2024, Dragon Ball Daima has been loved by both old and newcomers to the series, receiving new input from the show’s concept. It is obvious that the current anime was created while celebrating the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball to introduce new feelings and refresh the memories of fans. The final episodes are on the air now, and expectations are at their highest possible level; the show’s release during this period even adds to the dramatic tone.

A Fitting Tribute to a Legend

Daima’s Finale Aligns With an Emotional Milestone for Fan

The final episode of Daima is titled ‘Maximum’ or ‘Zenkai’ in Japanese, and it promises to be both dramatic and full of fight scenes. This makes it even more significant since it will air one year after Toriyama passed away and also because it will be a tribute to him and to fans of Dragon Ball. His favorite work for the coming years is well-admired; until now.

While there were many innovative and amazing anime series before Dragon Ball, this series was truly instrumental in bringing the concept of anime to a global level. Thanks to Toriyama’s narrative ability and creativeness, his characters and imaginations have placed the series known as Dragon Ball for generations. With this, the fans are ready to celebrate the work of Daima once again, taking the conclusion as the final farewell to one of the most profound artists of anime.

Fans React to the Emotional Announcement

The announcement of the last episode of the series has elicited strong emotions from the fans. Some of the fans have commented on various different social media platforms about feelings that are coming out, which vary from sadness to appreciation of his work. To the fans, as a representation of all that Toriyama-sensei stands for, he will never be forgotten.

Some praised the fact that Dragon Ball Daima aired on this date; they pointed to it as a “final tribute” for the man who nurtured their childhood through his creation. Besides the symbolic starting date, Daima has already made a fuss in the anime industry. The series continues to have record-breaking streaming numbers, and the return of SSJ4, easily being one of the characters’ favorite transformations, was by far one of the best moments. This success seems to be fueled further by what is expected to be an equally powerful finale.

However, Dragon Ball Daima is currently on its way to an end and the great news is that the Dragon Ball universe is still very much alive. Both Toei Animation and series producers have given fans the assurance that the franchise will go on for several years yet. Whether it be through the development of a new anime series, more movies or even bringing back Dragon Ball Super, its future looks bright.
