‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ Enhanced Anime Series Set for Fall Launch, Trailer Unveiled
An extensively remastered version of the popular anime series “Dragon Ball Super” will premiere in fall 2026 under the new title “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus,” the franchise announced at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event in Japan.
The enhanced edition features comprehensive visual upgrades including new animation cuts, revised sequences, complete re-rendering of all footage, freshly recorded voice acting, and an overhauled musical score and sound design. The project, which commenced several years ago, aims to deliver a more faithful adaptation of creator Akira Toriyama’s original work through cutting-edge visual techniques.
The announcement was made during a live stage presentation at Makuhari Messe, with voice actors Masako Nozawa (Son Goku) and Koichi Yamadera (God of Destruction Beerus) appearing alongside executive producer Akio Iyoku.
A launch trailer and key visual were unveiled at the event, showcasing the enhanced production values. The narrative follows the God of Destruction Beerus awakening from a prolonged sleep and targeting Earth after hearing about a Saiyan who defeated Frieza, setting up a confrontation with Goku and his allies.
The enhanced series represents a complete reconstruction of the original “Dragon Ball Super” television anime, which featured Toriyama’s original work, story concepts and character designs. The production promises heightened visual immersion, particularly in battle sequences.
The same event also revealed “Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol,” a separate new anime series that continues the storyline following the “Universe Survival Arc” from the 2015-2018 broadcast run.
The Dragon Ball franchise, which originated in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1984, remains a global entertainment property spanning animation, films, gaming and merchandise. The franchise launched “Dragon Ball Daima” in 2024 to mark the 40th anniversary of the original manga’s serialization.
