Dragon Ball Daima: is the new anime canon?

Since it was announced by Toei Animation at the 2023 New York Comic Con, the new anime Dragon Ball: Daima has divided fans who are unsure whether the production is canon or not.
With a release scheduled for October 2024, it appears that the new story arc will take place after Dragon Ball Z and before Dragon Ball Super and will contain 20 episodes in total.

Is Dragon Ball Daima canon?

There is a high probability that Dragon Ball Daima will become canon as the manga’s creator, Akira Toriyama, is actively involved in the production as a writer and designer of the new anime. He also published an open letter to his fans on social media, the translation of which can be seen below:

“I’m working on a new Dragon Ball. The title is Dragon Ball Daima. Daima is a made-up term which, in English, would mean something like ‘evil’. Due to a conspiracy, Goku and his friends have become small again. To make things right, they will leave for a new world!

“It’s a great adventure with intense action in an unknown and mysterious world. Since Goku will have to compensate for his small size, he uses Nyoibo (Power Staff) to fight, something that hasn’t been seen in a long time.

“I created the story and the sets, as did many designers. I’m actually doing this a lot more than usual. Things will take place within the mysteries of the Dragon Ball world. I hope you enjoy these different than normal battles, which will be cute and powerful.

Considering this and the fact that Toriyama has always been interested in making his own version of Dragon Ball GT, which is not a canon storyline, and with Dragon Ball’s 40th anniversary approaching in Shonen Jump, we can expect a special story.
