The air crackled with anticipation as the announcer’s voice boomed, “And now, a special announcement from Toei Animation!” Whispers turned to shouts as the screen lit up, revealing… something unexpected. It wasn’t just the continuation of the Galactic Patrol Arc; it was a reimagining of where it all began. Get ready, because *Dragon Ball Super* is being reborn.
Anime franchises sometimes feel like they run forever, but *Dragon Ball* is proving to be immortal. Along with the production of the highly anticipated *Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol Arc*, Toei Animation will be remaking *DBS*, starting with *Dragon Ball Super: Beerus*. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming *Dragon Ball Super* refresh.
A God Reborn: Release Expectations
I remember waiting in line for hours to see *Battle of Gods* in theaters. The energy was electric. *Dragon Ball Super: Beerus* is expected to arrive in Fall 2026. An exact month or date hasn’t been set. Given the excitement around this anime revival, the anticipation is understandable.
What is *Dragon Ball Super: Beerus* about?
Consider this not a sequel, but an enhanced echo. The *Dragon Ball Super* refresh retells the Super saga with updated animation and tightened pacing. The *Battle of Gods* movie marked the anime’s return after *Dragon Ball Z*; this arc will be revisited, retitled *Dragon Ball Super: Beerus*, and given a new coat of paint.
The announcement happened at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event. The official statement emphasized:
“The project features extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-rendering of all footage, newly recorded dubbing with added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story. Living up to the name ENHANCED, this edition employs the latest visual expression to deliver greater power and immersion across all scenes, especially the battle sequences. The result is an ENHANCED edition that expresses Akira Toriyama’s original idea and worldbuilding more accurately, that will be broadcasted with highly satisfying quality.”
The journey will begin with familiar arcs. Once Toei completes the revamp of older storylines, the anime will move forward into the *Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol* arc. It’s a second chance to make a first impression, polishing old gems until they shine like new. (€ equivalent: Priceless)
Will the *Dragon Ball Super* remake tell a new story?
Think of your favorite book getting a director’s cut. *Dragon Ball Super* isn’t offering a brand-new narrative; it’s revisiting the early arcs with updated animation and improved storytelling. This approach refines the anime and brings it to a modern audience.
The Arc Arsenal: What’s Being Revisited?
When I heard about this, my mind raced through all the possibilities. The first arc to receive the makeover is *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods*, which will reportedly span around six episodes. Next up is *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F*, renamed *Dragon Ball Super: Golden Frieza*. This pattern continues until we reach the *Dragon Ball Super: Broly* movie. Before the *Galactic Patrol* saga arrives, the Super refresh will cover:
- *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods*
- *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F*
- *Dragon Ball Super: Universe 6 Tournament*
- *Dragon Ball Super: Goku Black Saga/Future Trunks Saga*
- *Dragon Ball Super: Tournament of Power*
- *Dragon Ball Super: Broly*
Is the remake replacing the continuation of *Dragon Ball Super*?
No, it isn’t. The Super refresh won’t replace the series’ continuation; instead, it helps a modern audience access earlier arcs with better animation and an improved storyline. It’s a win-win for old and new fans.
A Glimpse of Divinity: The Trailer
The trailer dropped and the internet went wild. The focus is primarily on the Beerus arc. The trailer highlights Beerus waking up after sensing the rise of the Super Saiyan God. Goku and Vegeta challenge Beerus, who threatens Earth’s existence. The animation shines. Remember, the trailer is primarily focused on *Dragon Ball Super: Beerus*, expect more trailers as we approach release. The hype train is picking up steam!

No, Dragon Ball Super will not bring a fresh story to the table; it will go back and feature the early arcs of the anime with refined storytelling and updated animation quality.

Will this enhanced edition truly capture the original spirit, or is it simply nostalgia bait?
