  • Premier date set for Dragon Ball Daima on Italia 2

    Dragon Ball Daima on Italia 2 from September 14 with two episodes every Monday in prime time

    It has been a long road for the Dragon Ball Daima Italian dub, but nearly two years after the series debut across the world there is finally a premier date.

    Dragon Ball Daima is set to debut on Italia 2 from September 14, 2026 and it will air with two episodes every Monday and a repeat on Tuesday nights.

    The Monday night premiers will begin at 9:50pm with the reruns taking place around midnight on Tuesdays.

    For those who can’t watch the premiers or reruns the episodes will also become available on the Mediaset Infinity streaming platform the day after broadcast.

    Dragon Ball Daima was previously available to Italians in subbed format at the Lucca Comics and Games convention and on Anime Generation, but now fans in Italy will have a way of watching the series in their native language.

    The dub, which was hinted at by Starbright president and announced for September will finally be released.

  • Dragon Ball Daima Italian dub coming in September

    Last summer the relevant rights for the 2024 TV anime Dragon Ball Daima was acquired by Starbright Licensing and Sabor, this strongly implied that a dub was in the works, but since then nothing has been revealed, until now.

    It has now been announced that an Italian dub of Dragon Ball Daima will be released in September.

    Starbright is a licensing agency that helps brands and companies to identify high potential licensing opportunities by anticipating market trends and consumer demands.

    Sabot, an Italian company involved in the production of Apparel and Accessories and is a benchmark for the fashion and Licensing world.

    Dragon Ball Daima is available for streaming throughout various European countries on Crunhcyroll and Netflix, as well as Anime Generation (Amazon Prime Video) in Italy, but up until now it has only been available subbed.

    Dragon Ball has had a long history in Italy since its debut on Junior TV in 1989, so the news of an Italian dub of Dragon Ball Daima will be great news for longtime fans of the franchise.

    This is not the only European dub of Dragon Ball Daima coming, as a German dub and a Spanish dub were also announced. There was also an Albanian dub.

  • Italian dub of Dragon Ball Daima possibly coming in 2026

    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.
