Had Akira Toriyama ended the original run of the Dragon Ball manga as early as he would have liked, the entire franchise would look very different.

Dragon Ball Daima is ending soon after a successful run with 19 episodes. The title of the last episode, "Zenkai," hints at a major boost for a character. Dragon Ball Daima can be considered Akira Toriyama's legacy and a final gift to fans.

When Dragon Ball Daima first aired last year, the main points of contention at the forefront of every fan’s mind were where the show was placed in the series canon—and what new revelations it would cement in its wake.
