The Dragon Ball franchise is preparing for a major revival with the announcement of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, an extensively remastered anime series set to premiere in fall 2026. Revealed at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event in Japan, the project represents a complete reconstruction of Dragon Ball Super, promising fans a more faithful adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s original vision.
Unlike a simple remaster, Beerus has been rebuilt from the ground up. The production features new animation cuts, revised sequences, and a complete re-rendering of all footage. Voice actors have re-recorded their performances, while the musical score and sound design have been overhauled to deliver a richer, more immersive experience. The enhancements aim to elevate the series to modern standards while retaining the heart of Toriyama’s storytelling.
The narrative focuses on the God of Destruction Beerus, who awakens from a long slumber after hearing rumors of a Saiyan who defeated Frieza. His arrival on Earth sets the stage for an epic confrontation with Goku and his allies. The storyline promises heightened battle sequences, dramatic tension, and deeper character exploration, all presented with cutting-edge visuals.
At Makuhari Messe, franchise icons Masako Nozawa (Son Goku) and Koichi Yamadera (Beerus) joined executive producer Akio Iyoku to unveil the launch trailer and key visual. The footage highlighted the enhanced production values, showcasing fluid animation and dynamic fight choreography. Fans were quick to note the improved detail in character designs and the cinematic quality of the reimagined battles.
The event also introduced Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, a new anime series continuing the storyline after the Universe Survival Arc. This announcement underscores the franchise’s commitment to expanding its universe with fresh narratives while honoring its legacy. Together, Beerus and Galactic Patrol mark a new era for Dragon Ball, blending nostalgia with innovation.
Since its debut in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1984, Dragon Ball has grown into one of the world’s most influential entertainment properties. The franchise spans anime, films, video games, and merchandise, captivating generations of fans. The upcoming Beerus series follows the 2024 launch of Dragon Ball Daima, which celebrated the manga’s 40th anniversary.
With its enhanced visuals, re-recorded performances, and faithful storytelling, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus promises to deliver the definitive version of the saga. For longtime fans, it offers a chance to relive iconic battles in unprecedented quality. For new viewers, it provides an accessible entry point into the world of Dragon Ball. The fall 2026 launch is set to be one of the most anticipated anime events of the year.
