Dragon Ball Super’s Remake Shines with Exciting New Release Date Trailer

The wait is finally over: the highly anticipated remake of the Dragon Ball Super anime, titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, has an official release date. This next chapter in the Dragon Ball saga is set to premiere on Fuji TV on October 11. For fans in the US, there’s an exciting opportunity to catch the world premiere of the first episode on October 8 at New York Comic Con 2026 during a special panel dedicated to Dragon Ball Super: Beerus.

Accompanying the announcement is a new “super surge trailer,” which offers fans their first in-depth look at the remake. Toei Animation has certainly delivered, showcasing the stunning visuals that fans were hoping for, while also revealing the length of the series and the arcs it will cover.

The Dragon Ball Super storyline can be a bit convoluted, given the interplay between the movies, anime, and manga. While the core narrative remains consistent across these formats, there are notable differences that fans pay close attention to. Until now, it was uncertain how much of the story the remake would encompass. However, the trailer indicates that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will adapt the God of Destruction Beerus arc, the Resurrection ‘F’ arc, and the God of Destruction Champa arc (note that the names of these arcs may differ between the manga and anime). Essentially, it will cover the first two Dragon Ball Super films (Battle of Gods and Resurrection ‘F’) along with the initial 46 episodes of the anime, excluding filler content.

The trailer also unveiled the anime’s opening and ending themes: “Onogami” by Megatera – Zero and “Kan Peki No Peki” by VK Blanka. While fans may miss the original anime’s iconic opening theme, “Chosetsu Dynamic!”, the new tracks from these emerging Japanese artists capture a similar energy and excitement, giving Dragon Ball Super: Beerus a fresh feel.

In terms of differences, eagle-eyed fans noticed that during Goku’s battle with Frieza in the trailer, he transitions from his Super Saiyan God form to Super Saiyan Blue, a detail that was absent in the Resurrection ‘F’ movie. While it may seem minor, these nuances are crucial for dedicated Dragon Ball enthusiasts, raising expectations for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus even higher.

Interestingly, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will air on Fuji TV in the same time slot as One Piece. The anime based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga has recently shifted to a seasonal release format, with 26 episodes scheduled each year. This could mean that the two series will alternate on Fuji TV, marking a significant change from the previous model where both aired weekly.

Fans will get their first glimpse of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus at New York Comic Con 2026 on October 8. The panel will feature Jason Douglas (the English voice of Beerus), Ian Sinclair (the English voice of Whis), and Monica Rial (the English voice of Bulma). Following its official debut in Japan on October 11, it’s likely that the anime will also start streaming on Crunchyroll.

What comes next after Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remains uncertain. While the Galactic Patrol arc (also known as the Moro arc) is in development, it’s still unclear if it will follow immediately after Beerus.
