Dragon Ball Super is officially moving again, and this time it is going back to where the modern Super era properly started: Beerus.
The franchise has launched Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, a newly enhanced version of the original TV anime’s early arcs. According to the source report, this remake-style series revisits material from the Battle of Gods arc, with Toei Animation positioning it as an upgraded take on the older broadcast run.
That means fans are getting touched-up animation, refreshed visual effects, new music, plus brand-new opening and ending sequences. Not a bad way to re-enter the ring after eight years away from regular Dragon Ball Super TV anime action.
The new opening theme is called “ONOGAMI” by MEGATERA・ZERO, while the ending theme is “Kan Peki No Peki” by VK Blanka. For a franchise as iconic as Dragon Ball, new theme songs are not just bonus content lah — they are part of the whole ritual. Every generation remembers its opening.
What makes this interesting is that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is not being described as a totally new arc. Instead, it is an enhanced rebuild of existing Super material, covering the Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, and Universe 6 arcs from the original run. The source also notes that the episode count has not been revealed yet.
One detail worth watching: Koichi Yamadera, the Japanese voice actor for Beerus, said in an official interview that the cast is not recording fresh dialogue for this release. The production is apparently using the original recordings and shaping something new around them.
That is either going to feel smooth and respectful, or slightly weird depending on how the edit lands. If the visuals, pacing, and music feel modern but the vocal performances remain from the older production, the whole thing needs careful balancing. Dragon Ball fans can spot awkward presentation from one ki blast away.
Analysis / inference: For Malaysia and SEA viewers, the big deal here is accessibility and timing. Dragon Ball is one of those franchises that cuts across age groups — older fans grew up with it, while younger anime fans may know Super more through clips, games, and manga discussions. A cleaner, updated version of the early Super arcs could become an easier entry point, especially before the franchise pushes into newer material.
This also fits into a wider Dragon Ball comeback wave. The franchise has been celebrating the 40th anniversary of Akira Toriyama’s original manga debut, and more anime projects are in motion. The report specifically mentions Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, a new anime project being developed by Toei Animation.
That upcoming series does not have a release date, release window, or production staff details yet. What has been confirmed in the source is that it will adapt the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, which has so far only appeared in the official manga. That matters because there are still Dragon Ball Super manga arcs waiting for anime treatment.
So yes, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is partly nostalgia. But it is also a signal that Toei is warming the engine again. If this enhanced run works, it could help bridge older Super content with the next proper anime arc.
The source lists Dragon Ball Super: Beerus as premiering on Crunchyroll and Hulu on October 11, with Netflix beginning on October 17. No Malaysia-specific platform availability was stated in the source, so check your own app listings before planning the watch party, bro.
For now, the key takeaway is simple: Dragon Ball Super is back on a regular anime track, Beerus is once again at the centre, and the franchise is clearly preparing fans for what comes next.
