Dragon Ball Super, the long-running anime series that continues the adventures of Goku and his friends, is getting a major overhaul. Starting on October 11, 2026, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will present a completely revised version of the beginning of the series. This new edition includes redesigned scenes, modernized animation, and a reconstructed storyline. The project aims to improve upon the original release, which, while popular, had some issues with inconsistent animation quality and pacing.
The Dragon Ball franchise, created by Akira Toriyama, originally began with Dragon Ball and continued with Dragon Ball Z, which concluded with the defeat of the villain Majin Buu. Dragon Ball Super was launched in 2015 to continue the story, introducing new characters like Beerus, the God of Destruction. The series has 131 episodes and is also available as a manga, drawn by Toyotaro based on Toriyama’s scenarios. While the manga and anime share the same story, they have slight differences in their progression and details.
Despite the initial excitement around Dragon Ball Super, the beginning of the series was met with mixed reactions. Some viewers found the animation uneven, the artwork lacking polish, and the pacing inconsistent. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus aims to correct these issues by reworking the early arcs, including Battle of Gods, Resurrection 'F', and The God of Destruction Champa. The new version includes new sequences, redesigned scenes, and a fresh production, with a trailer released in March 2026 showing promising visuals.
While Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is not a complete reboot, it is a reconstruction of the series’ beginning. Toei Animation has redone the episodes from scratch rather than simply re-editing them. The new version also features updated dubbing, a new soundtrack, and remixed sound effects. This update gives Dragon Ball Super a second chance and could set a precedent for future arcs. If successful, the same care and attention might be applied to upcoming stories, such as Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which is currently in production but has no announced release date. For now, fans in Japan can watch the first episodes of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus starting on October 11, 2026, while a French release date remains unknown.
