Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods will return to the Sand big screen thanks to Fathom Theaters. This is an extended version never before seen in theaters with an extra 20 minutes of excitement. See it in participating Fathom Theaters on October 17-18.
The Sand Land game is set to be released worldwide soon, and in-house fans were treated to an English dubbed trailer. Iyoku says it is a great way for fans to reexperience Sand Land and even do some customization to the world.
They saved the best for last by confirming a new Dragon Ball series named Dragon Ball: Daima. A teaser was shown to those lucky enough to be there, but worry not; it will soon be released on the official Toei Animation YouTube channel. Monica Rial pointed out that Goku, Vegeta and Bulma looked smaller. Perhaps they are younger? It was mentioned that “Daima” means evil, so who knows what our favorite heroes have in store?

Iyoku was understandably tight-lipped on the details, but he said that Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama was more deeply involved with story development and character design than usual. We should expect to see new worlds, new monsters, epic battles (of course), mysteries, excitement and never-before-seen worlds. Dragon Ball: Daima is set to release in Fall 2024.
