History YMMV / DragonBallDaima

* AmericansHateTingle: While the Japanese part of the fandom had a mostly positive reception towards the teaser trailer due to its callbacks and tone closer to the original ''Manga/DragonBall'', the Western fans weren't so impressed. They had expected an animated adaptation of the Moro and Granolah arcs from ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' (and to a lesser degree adapting the ''Broly'' and ''Super Hero'' plots, of which said arcs are set in-between), as well as negative comparisons to ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' based on the plot's details being a retread of Goku's de-aging but now as the actual plot, with everyone in the cast getting de-aged. However, with the passing of Akira Toriyama on March 1st, 2024, which led it to become one of the last ''Dragon Ball'' projects with his involvement, initial western reception grew more positive for the same reasons as its reception in Japan, and instead many became hyped to watch it, just to honour him one last time. The fact that Toriyama was passionate with the series prior to his death helps.

* HarsherInHindsight: A lot of the above AmericansHateTingle becomes this in light of Toriyama's passing. Daima will be known as the last Dragon Ball work Toriyama is involved in. Even more ironic, it involves a Kid Goku and it is Dragon Balls 40th anniversary. The series may undergo a VindicatedByHistory before it even began.

** Another joke has also spawned with the reveal that Goten, Trunks and to a lesser degree Marron are de-aged back to babies in ''DAIMA'' after just recently getting aged up to teenagers in ''Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero'' (with teen Marron only showing up in the Manga adaptation of the film), with many comparing it to Toriyama pulling a Reverse-Uno card on them to ensure that they stay young forever. This has even spilled over to darker jokes of how Pan and Bulla (whom were both toddlers as of ''Super Hero'', with the former just starting kindergarten) are now non-existent sperm.
** There's also jokes about how Master Roshi (who goes from a perverted DirtyOldMan to a possible equally perverted child) won't be able to pull off the same tricks without getting sent to timeout.

** Android 18's shocked reaction upon her being revealed to getting de-aged back to a kid, basically sums up the reaction of the Western fanbase.

* {{Moe}}: Expected with Goku and the gang being de-aged back to their youth in the trailer. With special points going to Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Android 18 getting outright adorable kid redesigns, making them look far more adorable and cuddly than their grown-up counterparts. Even the tougher-looking characters such as ''Vegeta'' and ''Piccolo'' look adorable as kids.
