Fans of the Dragon Ball franchise finally have their next major animated project confirmed. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, an enhanced and remastered version of Dragon Ball Super, has been officially announced with a new trailer and a Fall 2026 release window.
Here’s everything you need to know about it:
What is Dragon Ball Super: Beerus?
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is a reimagined and “enhanced” edition of the original Dragon Ball Super TV anime, designed to revisit one of the series’ most iconic arcs, the introduction of Beerus, the God of Destruction, with modern animation and sound.
Rather than being a simple re-airing, the project involves comprehensive upgrades, including new animation cuts and revised sequences, complete re-rendering of footage and freshly recorded voice acting, along with a refreshed musical score and sound design.
This updated edition aims to match contemporary production standards and be more faithful to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama’s original vision.
Trailer and visual first look
The first trailer and key visuals for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus were unveiled at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event held in Japan, where franchise producers and voice actors participated in the announcement.
In footage shared by Toei Animation, Goku and Beerus are shown in battle, highlighting Beerus as a formidable cosmic threat. The visuals tease enhanced fight scenes and dynamic animation improvements designed to heighten the impact of key moments.
When is it releasing?
The series is confirmed to premiere in Fall 2026, likely around the October period, as part of a broader year of Dragon Ball celebrations and new content.
Exact broadcast dates and platform details are yet to be announced, but its fall launch marks a major return to Dragon Ball TV animation after several years without new weekly episodes in the main continuity.
Where it fits in the Dragon Ball timeline
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus focuses on the arc where Beerus awakens from a long slumber, having heard rumours of a Saiyan powerful enough to rival him. This leads him to Earth and a dramatic clash with Goku and his allies, a pivotal storyline originally adapted early in Dragon Ball Super.
By remastering and restructuring this arc, the series sets the stage for subsequent chapters of Dragon Ball Super animation once the enhanced edition concludes.
Who is Beerus?
Beerus is the God of Destruction introduced in Dragon Ball Super and originally seen in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. He is an immensely powerful deity whose awakening sets off key events in the modern Dragon Ball saga.
Goku and the Z-Fighters must confront Beerus as they navigate increasingly cosmic stakes, marking a major escalation in the franchise’s narrative scale.
Other Dragon Ball news from the event
Alongside Beerus, the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event also confirmed a separate new anime series titled Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, which will continue the story following the Universe Survival Arc. Further details and release timing for that project are yet to be revealed.
Why fans are excited
For many long-time followers, this enhanced edition represents both a nostalgic revisit and a fresh experience with Dragon Ball Super. By remastering core story elements and enhancing visuals and audio, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus could attract both new viewers and longtime fans eager to see classic battles in a new light.
With fall 2026 now circled on calendars, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is poised to be one of the biggest anime releases of the year for global fans of the franchise.
