Fans were left ecstatic when they saw the announcement as they had been waiting for the new Dragon Ball DAIMA announcement. Considering that Akiyo Iyoku was set to be present at the event, fans were expecting huge announcements to be made at the event.

Therefore, most fans commented on with "I'll be there no matter what" memes, displaying their love for the series and expressing how they would not miss it for the world. Some fans wished for January 28 to come sooner as they could not wait for the special panel.

Meanwhile, others began to speculate what they could witness at the special panel. Considering that the initial teaser trailer was released back in October 2023, several fans were hoping that the special panel would give fans a new trailer.

That said, some fans still weren't so keen about Dragon Ball DAIMA. Fans wanted the continuation of Dragon Ball Super anime. Hence, they did not care about an original story anime by the franchise.

Lastly, some fans were disappointed by the event's planning. As per the event, the panel was set to be similar to New York Comic Con 2023 where only the people present at the venue were able to witness the new information about the anime live. Meanwhile, other fans had to wait until the anime's official sources released the same through their social media accounts. Hence, fans wished for the event to conduct a live stream as well.
