Dragon Ball Genkida Matsuri 2026 DBS remaster, DBS galactic patrol arc, Age 1000 announced.

I agree with pretty much everything you're saying in an objective sense. I was just mostly coming at it from my own personal reaction of being in the fandom for years and wanting desperately to move on from what I see as a borderline disaster of a show. Call me dramatic, but instead of dwelling on the Super era and bending over backwards to pull new fans into the Super storyline, I would rather them do the opposite, which is ignore Super and pretend it basically doesn't exist, and start fresh from ground zero moving forward. Kinda like what they did with Daima (even though I didn't end up liking that show either). I know this is unrealistic, but a man can dream.

I understand, man. Honestly, my dream Dragon Ball anime and manga is one that is set AFTER EoZ. Not between the Boo arc and EoZ like Super and Daima ended up being. I want to see Oob and Pan take the lead as the new main characters. Maybe Bra too. And Goten and Trunks (not their stupid superhero personas). Even if Goku and Vegeta are still the main focus, surrounding them with a cast of new younger characters would add a freshness we haven't seen from Dragon Ball in a while. Super Hero was the first time I felt like Dragon Ball might finally move into the future and now we're back where we started. Maybe, just maybe, though, when the anime reaches Super Hero, we can finally move to EoZ considering Super Hero has teen Goten and Trunks as well as Pan in it.

On that point, I guess with Super getting remastered and the upcoming Galactic Patrol arc, we're most likely getting Super Hero redone in 2D form. I think they redid it in manga form because the movie didn't do too well in Japan, right? So, it makes sense to readapt it into non-3D anime form too, which I actually wouldn't mind. It'd be cool to see Gohan Beast and Orange Piccolo in classic anime style and not CGI.

Despite my shit talking of Super, which I will gleefully do whenever I get the chance, I am sorta interested in the Moro arc. If only because it’s never been animated before, and they could, in theory, do some cool shit.

The problem with the Super remaster is that they’re limited to what’s already there. So yeah someone said it: a shinier turd is still a turd

[MCDaveG]

OK, so we’ve got both
Super remake and continuation.
Is it just Beerus or will they go with Freeza as well and adapt everything until they get to Galactic Patrol?
Or is it just Beerus remaster and then Galactic Patrol?

That heavy emphasis on Toriyama and Toriyama presents, that’s quite heavy of a statement after his passing and lack of supervision, that I really hope they do these projects with respect and utmost care as Iyoku stated many times during the stage.

Man, I don’t wanna really see or care about third version of Battle Of Gods, that was already perfect in the movie, watching it for aeons and it starts half a year from now on.
The Moro Arc will go on god knows when, as it is yet going into production.

Will they correct “continuity” errors and plotholes like Pilaf Gang?

[Trouser]

Ah, look, it's the same story again!

What a bummer. At least Moro is going to get animated. The story is pretty bad but at least it's kind of "new" and it means we'll get new characters to play with in games. That still picture of Goku and Vegeta gives me hope that it won't resemble the horrendous Toyotarou's art style.

If not for the new game project, this whole announcement would be disappointing.

You know one thing I'm REALLY not looking forward to as an American fan? Crunchyroll's SLOW home releases for the eventual Dragon Ball Super remaster and Dragon Ball Super: Galactic Patrol (and beyond) anime. And that's not even mentioning how the dub will probably be handled if Daima is any indication. Hopefully they've changed, but I doubt it (especially when Toei's involved). With Super: Beerus releasing fall this year, if Japan does a home release in say early 2027, don't expect Crunchyroll's release until a year later in 2028. I could be wrong, but at this point, I recognize Crunchyroll's patterns.

As for Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol's eventual home release (if physical media is still a thing outside Japan), don't expect Crunchyroll's release until 2029 if the anime releases fall next year. Ugh. Oh well, gives me time to collect other DB media like the Dragon Boxes and other anime/movies/media.

Crunchyroll's a streaming platform. They make most of their money off subscriptions to their service. Their entire business model is based off that. So, it makes sense why they delay releases that long. Daima also took a little over a year after they started releasing the dub. What you SHOULD be wanting is for them to dub & release the shits with the English dub day & day with the Japanese audio unlike Daima. I still don't understand why they took so long to release the Daima dub & why they didn't release it when it DID start coming out day & day with the Japanese broadcast dates. That was so fucking stupid. These things should be broadcast dubs by now.

[SupremeKai25]

So they are changing the Moro arc to adapt to the anime, hm?

Well, now I want a version of the Future Trunks saga where Trunks get his Disney Fairy-tale happy ending. You know, just for the curiosity of seeing 99% of the criticism about this saga dying and disappearing.

Do it, Toei. The Dragon Ball fandom always wants a Disney fairy-tale ending for their arcs.

Make a version of the Future Trunks saga where Trunks kills Zamasu and he lives happily ever after with his timeline. I want to see this arc get redeemed, I want to see 99% of the criticism about this arc disappear.

[Xeogran]

Uhh aren't they forgetting the Manga?
Strangely Toyotaro didn't get enough acclaim on this event despite them adapting his arc lol

It's not just *his* arc.

Toriyama was ALWAYS credited for the story of every manga release chapter. On the cover, you always see "written by Akira Toriyama".

Ofc they are going to focus on the "written by Akira Toriyama" part.

And it seems that the new version of the Moro saga will include changes to better adapt with the anime and the story Toei wants to tell (which was always the logical thing to do), so they are treating the Moro saga like every other arc they have adapted: An adaptation of Toriyama's plotline.

[Xeogran]

Any news whether the remake is seasonal or it will air in one go? 6 Episodes and then 4 months break before RoF, then again 4 months break before U6 and so on?

I'm extremely glad about this, more new stuff to look forward to!

[sangofe]

Is it just me that is disappointed no new movie was announced?

[SupremeKai25]

What wonderful news to wake up to. This looks amazing:



They -NEED- to do every other arc too. I'm most hyped for the U6 Tournament arc and the Zamasu arc... for the former it didn't really have a lot of "woah!" artwork besides the episodes about Hit, and for the latter the artwork was unfortunately inconsistent, with very high tops and very sad lows (62, 67). I can't wait.

This project was in development while Toriyama was still alive, so they've been working on it since 2023, which I highly doubt was just for the 12 episode retellings; We're definitely getting the other arcs as well. If the plan is to have this revised edition of Super lead into Moro, then they'd have to air it continuously to meet Moro's late 2027 air date.

[Xeogran]

Is it just me that is disappointed no new movie was announced?

I get your concern, because all things considered we didn't get anything new as in new that we haven't seen or read before.
It'll be a long while before we get anything set after Super Hero it seems.

There will be unseen sequences from the original drafts of these stories as well as modifications to better adapt to Toriyama's original manga (NOT Toyotaro, important distinction), so there will still be new content in this remake.

The exact wording from the website:

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is the ENHANCED edition of the TV anime Dragon Ball Super, for which Akira Toriyama created the original work, story, and character design. The project features extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-rendering of all footage, newly recorded dubbing with added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story. Living up to the name ENHANCED, this edition employs the latest visual expression to deliver greater power and immersion across all scenes, especially the battle sequences. The result is an ENHANCED edition that expresses Akira Toriyama’s original idea and worldbuilding more accurately, that will be broadcasted with highly satisfying quality.

https://en.dragon-ball-official.com/news/01_3976.html

So no, actually, they aren't making "sequences from the original draft" as I said (I remembered wrongly), but they are making new content. As they explained, this isn't just a retread of existing stories - it's a REIMAGINING. There will be "new cuts", "revisions", and a "full reconstruction of the story", in order to "express Toriyama's original idea and worldbuilding more accurately."

So, in other words, they're adding new stuff and changing some things to make the story flow better with Toriyama's original manga.

[Luso Saiyan]

It's such a shame that they are not taking the opportunity to re-color Piccolo like it was in the manga. They did it since Super Hero, why not do it in this 'revision'?

[super michael]

I missed the video, I want to ask are these all we are getting?

Dragon Ball Super Galactic Patrol (Moro chapter) animated
Dragon Ball Sparking DLC which includes characters, stages, missions and survival mode
Dragon Ball Age 1000 (unofficial name)
Dragon Ball Super BoG enhanced movie

Did I leave anything out?

[Luso Saiyan]

Dragon Ball Super BoG enhanced movie

It's not a movie, it's a revision of the first arc of Super, like Dragon Ball Kai. They'll probably continue with the following arcs.
