A viral video of “Dragon Ball” shortly after the premiere of Dragon Ball Daima created great expectations among fans by showing what a modern remake of the classic anime would look like. The video, uploaded to Twitter by user Piccolo Damayonnaiz, uses official footage from Toei Animation, combining scenes from the film and series with a newly edited soundtrack.
This compilation video is nearly five minutes long, bringing together the first adventures of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
To do this, the video uses scenes from the recent productions “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” and the first episode of “Dragon Ball Daima”.
Chikashi Kubota, the main animation director on both projects, handled the animation, while Piccolo Damayonnaiz arranged the soundtrack, using music composed by Hidenori Arai, to give the video the feel of an old Dragon Ball episode. dictionary.
Highlighted scenes in the viral video include Goku's iconic battle against the Red Ribbon Army, during his childhood. Then there is the appearance when the Red Ribbon Army is reborn in the Cell Arc. The famous ending is also shown when Gohan defeats Perfect Cell, with the symbolic assistance of his father.
Next is the first episode scene of Dragon Ball Daima, starting with a review of the Majin Buu arc. The video ends with Goku defeating Kid Buu with the Genkidama and giving a thumbs up towards Earth.
Despite the excitement that Dragon Ball Daima has generated, many fans have expressed a desire for a traditional remake of the original series, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, without cutting additional episodes such as Dragon Ball Z Kai did. This desire has increased, especially following the uncertainty regarding the series' future, following the departure of creator Akira Toriyama.
What's most curious is that Chikashi Kubota himself has shown interest in remaking Dragon Ball since Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero debuted in 2022, causing increasing speculation among fans.
One fan commented: “This is a perfect flow from the Red Patrol arc to the Majin Buu arc and is a perfect idea of what a Dragon Ball remake would be like.”
“Maybe I'm being delusional, but what if they use Daima's popularity as an opportunity to do a complete remake starting from the original?”, another added.
Of course, there are also audiences who disagree with the remake of the Dragon Ball anime. Someone objected: “No, Dragon Ball is fine as it is. If they remake it, many parts will be censored. Toei today will not ignore adult themes.”
“Dragon Ball's animation is always good, the things that need to be remade are Z and Super. They should follow The Path to Power if they plan to remake the original.”, an opinion agrees. other.
