Toonami Broadcast History[]
Dragon Ball Daima premiered on June 14, 2025 at 12:30 AM ET/11:30 PM CT, starting with an extended 45-minute premiere of episode one pushing back shows that air past Daima by 15 minutes as well as taking over the previous slot that was occupied by an airing of One Piece and moving Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and Blue Exorcist down the lineup.[13] The show began airing in its regular 30 minute runtime starting June 21, 2025, airing in that slot for two weeks. The June 28, 2025 airing of episode 3, "Daima", erroneously aired with the Closed Captions on, regardless of the settings of the viewing platform. This issue wasn't fixed on Adult Swim's video on-demand. The series was pre-empted for two weeks on July 5, 2025 and July 12, 2025 due to marathons of My Adventures With Superman and Lazarus, but returned on July 19, 2025 with back-to-back episodes airing from 12:00 AM ET/11:00 PM CT to 1:00 AM ET/12:00 AM CT, replacing Sailor Moon.
