Dragon Ball Super is not just returning with another rerun — Toei Animation is giving the early Super era a proper rebuild with Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, and now we finally have clearer launch details for Japan and the U.S.
The remake series will premiere in Japan on October 11, 2026, before arriving on Netflix in the United States on October 17, 2026. Netflix has also released a new trailer to mark the announcement.
Important note for Malaysia and SEA readers: the source only confirms the U.S. Netflix release. There is no confirmed Malaysia, Southeast Asia, or global streaming date in the report, and no other platform details have been announced yet. So don’t assume it will automatically show up on our Netflix app the same day, bro — for now, this is a Japan and U.S. update.
So what exactly is Dragon Ball Super: Beerus?
This is described as an enhanced remake of the original Dragon Ball Super TV anime, focusing on the show’s earlier arcs. According to the details shared, Toei has teased a version with major production changes: new cuts, revised scenes, fully re-rendered footage, freshly recorded dubbing, added music and sound effects, and a reconstructed story.
That matters because the early stretch of Dragon Ball Super has always been a bit divisive. The Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’ stories had already existed as movies before the TV anime reworked them, and fans have debated the pacing, animation quality, and structure for years. A cleaner, rebuilt version could be a big deal if Toei actually tightens the experience instead of just polishing the same old material.
The remake will begin with the Battle of Gods arc, then move into Resurrection F and the Universe 6 arc during its Fall 2026 run.
The staff and music lineup
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is being directed by Tadayoshi Yamamuro at Toei Animation. The production credits also include Matsuto Seya handling composition and direction arrangement, Eichi Nishimura as editor, Yosuke Motoki as compositing director, and Norihito Sumitomo composing the music.
The series is also getting new theme songs. The opening theme is titled “ONOGAMI” by MEGATERA・ZERO, while the ending theme is “Kan Peki No Peki” by VK Blanka.
For long-time Dragon Ball fans, the music detail is especially worth watching. Sumitomo’s score has been part of modern Dragon Ball’s identity for years, and fresh audio work could help this remake feel less like a simple recut and more like a genuine new pass at the material.
More updates could come from New York Comic Con
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will also appear at New York Comic Con 2026 with a dedicated panel on October 8. The panel will be hosted by Monica Rial, the English dub voice of Bulma, with Jason Douglas — the English dub voice of Beerus — and Ian Sinclair, the English dub voice of Whis, appearing as special guests.
That timing is interesting because the NYCC panel lands just before the Japanese premiere. It would not be surprising if more footage, dub details, or distribution updates are discussed there, but to be clear, that part is analysis — nothing beyond the listed panel guests and date has been confirmed in the source.
Why Malaysian fans should keep an eye on this
Analysis: Dragon Ball is one of those anime brands that cuts across generations here — from TV-era fans to younger viewers who discovered Super through streaming clips, games, and memes. A cleaned-up version of the Beerus-era storyline could be the easiest entry point for newer fans who never sat through the original Super run.
But until Toei, Netflix, or another platform confirms broader availability, Malaysia-based viewers should treat this as a wait-and-see announcement. The hype is real, but the local streaming question is still unanswered.
