Fans are blown away by the stunning visual enhancements in the Dragon Ball Super remake.

When the trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus dropped, fans quickly noticed that the animation has taken a significant leap forward from the 2015 series. However, without a direct comparison, it was tough to gauge just how much had changed. Some even argued that the new version looked almost identical. But when you line up the original and the remake, the differences become strikingly clear.

Fans on platforms like Reddit and YouTube are sharing side-by-side comparisons that highlight these changes. While some adjustments are subtle, the most prominent difference is in Beerus’ color grading and saturation. The remake features a darker, more vibrant palette, giving Beerus a more serious tone. This new approach also enhances smaller highlights, making them stand out more than in the original, which now appears quite flat in comparison.

For a detailed look at these differences, you can check out a 10-minute breakdown video by a fan, but one standout example illustrates the overall improvements perfectly:

In other instances, the changes are dramatic. The remake fills in gaps that were present in the original or corrects poorly drawn scenes. These alterations might not be as apparent during fast-paced action sequences, but when viewed side-by-side, the upgrades are astonishing. A prime example is the scene where Vegeta punches a wall; the new version vividly depicts the damage he causes, while the original’s barely visible cracks seem almost comical now.

Beerus is set to premiere on Fuji TV on October 11, with U.S. fans getting an early look at a screening on October 8 during New York Comic-Con. The new series is anticipated to cover the first two Dragon Ball Super movies and the initial 46 episodes of the anime.

“It’s honestly not even comparable, the new stuff is so crisp,” one fan commented on Reddit.

“We can finally see it for what it was MEANT to be,” another viewer noted in response to the comparison video.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3 and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus were the highlights of the franchise’s latest event.
