Dragon Ball DAIMAwill be released on August 23, 2025. It has been a few years sinceDragon Ball Superaired. Even though the manga was ongoing, the anime came to a sudden stop. Unfortunately, before the anime could return, Akira Toriyama passed away. However, before passing away, he was working onDragon Ball DAIMA, which makes it the last anime he ever worked on.

At first glance,Dragon Ball DAIMAwill make the fans rememberDragon Ball GTsince the Z Warriors were transformed into children. From the trailer, it was clear that someone from the Demon Realm was behind evil deeds. Akira Toriyama’s creation often brought up the Demon Realm through anime and video games.

The Demon Realm Has Always Been A Part Of TheDragon BallFranchise

The first timeDragon Ballfans were introduced to a proper demon was during the Majin Buu saga inDragon Ball Z. Dabura was brought to Earth by Babidi. He was the ruler of the Demon Realm and was as strong asPerfect Cell. However, even after being a king, he is not the stronger evil entity from the Demon RealmDragon Ball DAIMAwill feature an extensive look on the Demon Realm and the Makaioshin. The Makaioshin are referred to as the God of the King of the Demon Realm.

As per the franchise, only one character was regarded as a God of the Demons, and it was Demigra. Demigra was the major antagonist of the video gameDragon Ball Xenoverse. More than the manga and anime, the video games have explored the Demon Realm more.Super Dragon Ball Heroesfeatured Dabura’s evil sister, Towa, who, along with a few other demons, wanted to merge all the realms where the demons would rule supreme.

However, even though Demigra declared himself a God, there is a specific requirement to be a Makaioshin. Every Shin or Kai is born at the place. When a Shin has malice in their heart from the beginning, they become a Makaioshin and are sent to the Demon Realm. On the other hand, Demigra was never a Shin. He was a wizard and banished to a time cell along with others for plotting to kill Tokitoki.

Demigra was banished almost 75 million years ago before theXenoversetimeline. He and the other wizards worked together to free themselves from the time cell and create a different realm altogether. It was the Demon Realm, and often people confuse it with Hell. According to King Yama, Dabura’s description of the Demon Realm matched Hell, but they are not the same. Unlike Hell, the Demon Realm is located below the mortal world, like a double-sided snow globe.

There Have Been Countless Misconceptions About The Demon Realm

Fans who religiously follow the manga and anime will think of Demon King Piccolo to be from the demon realm. However, he was not a demon but was the evil part of Kami. Initially, his origin remained a mystery, butDragon Ball Zconfirmed him to be from the planet Namek. The same happened with Garlic Jr. and Lord Slug, who were regarded as demons but were from a different planet.

Black Myth: Wukong’s Comparisons to Dragon Ball Go Further Than Anyone Thought

There has never been a proper introduction of Demon God in the anime, and Demigra remains the closest character to ever be regarded as a God. Even Zamasu is not a Makaioshin since he was not born evil. Another example is Majin Buu, who is regarded as a Demon but is as old as time. However, the Demon Realm was created and did not exist from the beginning, so Majin Buu cannot belong to that realm.

For the moment, Demigra, Dabura, Towa, and Towa’s colleagues are the only people originally from the Demon Realm. Video games likeDragon Ball Onlineare Japan-exclusive games, so there are demon characters unknown to other countries. LateAkira Toriyamahas mentioned the Demon Realm multiple times, but he could never explore it to its fullest.Dragon Ball DAIMAgave him that chance, and by the sneak peek, he fully utilized his chance.
