Though both projects overlapped,Daimafollowed a separate narrative path.
However,Volume 24of the manga hints that all the theories may finally come to a close.
This detail resurfaces inDragon Ball Super Volume 24, where the table of contents featuresMr.
Popo without his turban, horns visible, standing beside Dende and Korin.
It makes senseboth series were heavily shaped by Akira Toriyama before his passing.
What Does This Mean For The Future of Dragon Ball?
For a series so iconic, its chronology is anything but clear.
None of theDragon Ball Zmovies are canon, yet bothDragon Ball Superfilms are.
Dragon Ball Daima, while strong on its own, adds another wrinkle to that already messy timeline.
Still,Dragon Ball SuperVolume 24 quietly acknowledgesDragon BallDaima, suggesting it wont be ignored going forward.
Hopefully, that means some continuity fixes are on the horizon to clear things up for fans.
