In an interview conducted on September 16th president of Starbright Licensing Giada Paterlini discussed the longevity of the Dragon Ball brand, and how it remains an influential brand among kids and “kidults” in Italy and abroad.
In particular one notable revelation from the interview is the following:
“L’interesse per questo franchise è quindi quanto mai contemporaneo e attuale ma, nel contempo, appare sospeso nel tempo, immutabile, trasferito di generazione in generazione. Dai bambini, agli adulti, ai kidult, Dragon Ball è pronto per narrarci una nuova avventura: l’appuntamento è per il 2026 con Dragon Ball Daima e il suo pubblico affezionato…Stay tuned!”.
Which translates to:
“The interest in this franchise is therefore as contemporary and current as ever but, at the same time, it appears suspended in time, unchangeable, transferred from generation to generation. From children, to adults, to kidults, Dragon Ball is ready to tell us about a new adventure: the appointment is for 2026 with Dragon Ball Daima and its loyal audience … Stay tuned!”.
The most recent instalment of the franchise to air in Italy was Dragon Ball Super, which premiered nearly 10 years ago on December 23, 2016, so this will no doubt be exciting news for fans that have been waiting for more Dragon Ball.
