The Dragon Ball Daima panel at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2024 has received a sudden live stream announcement following widespread backlash among the fandom.
Organizers for Battle Hour 2024, Bandai Namco, have changed their stance following the fan backlash toward their original decision to not have a live stream of the event. Now, in a new post to X (formerly Twitter), they have revealed that two panels will be streamed. Singer of the iconic Dragon Ball Z opening song, "Cha-La Head-Cha-La," Hironobu Kageyama's special live performance, will now be live-streamed alongside the hotly-anticipated Dragon Ball Daima panel. The official announcement and popular reaction can be viewed below.
