Dragon Ball Daima is an anime series that will focus on the franchise's storyline after the battle against Majin Buu. As evident from the teaser, a magician, seemingly connected to Babidi, is set to want the eternal dragon Shenron to turn Goku and his friends into children. This wish will nerf the characters, forcing Goku to rely on his power pole again.

Wanting to stop the magician and get their original bodies back, Goku will be teaming up with Supreme Kai and travel from planet to planet in search of the magician. This search will let them confront several new enemies and meet new friends, all of which will eventually lead them to their target.
