It seems Toei Animation decided that the arrival of the Gods of Destruction deserved a second chance with all possible luxuries. The company officially confirmed that the animated series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will premiere on television on October 11, accompanying the announcement with a promotional image, the “Super Surge” trailer, and the reveal of the musical themes that will accompany this rebuilt version.

This release represents an ambitious reedition aiming to correct and elevate what was seen in the original 2015 series. As explained by Akio Iyoku, the project has been in development for a couple of years and was conceived as an improved edition that includes a story restructuring, new shots, and completely redrawn scenes. The production applied updated rendering techniques, redone dubbing from scratch, and new sound effects to offer much smoother and intense combat sequences, adhering more faithfully to the vision and setting conceived by Akira Toriyama.

The promotional trailer offers a preview of the opening song titled “ONOGAMI,” performed by MEGATERA･ZERO, while the ending theme will be handled by VK Blanka with the song “Kan Peki No Peki.” For those who can’t wait to see the first minutes, the pilot episode will have a special screening before its TV broadcast during a panel dedicated to the franchise at the New York Comic Con convention on October 8.

On the technical side, the arrangement and composition direction are handled by Matsuto Seya, while Tadayoshi Yamamuro returns for character design and general animation direction. Editing is handled by Eichi Nishimura, Yosuke Motoki takes charge of composition direction, and Norihito Sumitomo returns for the soundtrack. Additionally, the talented voice actor Koichi Yamadera reprises his iconic role to lend his voice once more to the relentless Beerus.

About Dragon Ball Super

Originally premiered in July 2015, the Dragon Ball Super anime marked the triumphant return of Akira Toriyama’s work to television after nearly two decades of absence, remaining on air for 131 episodes until its conclusion in March 2018. The story begins a few years after the fierce battle against Majin Buu, in an era where Earth enjoys a fleeting peace until the God of Destruction awakens from his long slumber in search of the legendary Super Saiyajin God. This revised version promises to revive that first cosmic encounter that initiated the modern era of the franchise.

Do you think this improved edition will do justice to the start of the saga or do you prefer the original 2015 version?
