And so this sequel was completed.\u201d He teased that there\u2019s a lot of energy in new episodes. \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ll enjoy the new world-building and intense action,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe trio of Beelzebub, Rao, and Thief have a new adventure and encounter new characters.\u201d The Sand Land anime stretches 13 episodes. The premiere contains seven; the movie recut into chapters with new scenes. The proceeding six episodes, then, are all new for everyone. This isn\u2019t especially unusual anime, with compilation films turning episodes into movies. In this instance, it gives everyone a reason to watch each iteration. Sand Land serves as a nice preamble to Toriyama\u2019s other big project this year \u2013 Dragon Ball Daima! The sequel to Dragon Ball Super that has Goku and the Z Fighters turned into children by some ominous villain. We\u2019ll keep you informed on when you should be able to see that.
