The TV Anime Series Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be broadcast on Fuji TV in the fall of 2026

They only have finished the resurrection F saga and have just started Champa from what Ajay said.

Would you happen to have the Tweet in which Ajay mentioned Champa ? because that's news to me, but very good news.

Oh, I heard that from Saikyo Devin, the french YouTuber. Maybe it was that it'll be soon started and I got the details wrong..

That's really good news, because it'll give them roughly a year to work on it. A year is good for a show being made from the ground up, so imagine how good a remaster will look with that same time.

I'm not sure what exactly he has issues with from a story perspective.

Cutting down the Bingo scene from the anime adaptation may have angered him. Because they had time for all kinds of filler and extending mundane stuff, but the memorable joke was for some reason cut out? If they don't put it here in the remake either, then all this "closer to Toriyama's vision" will be pure marketing too.

I feel like it's marketing speak. Because he seemed to be satisfied with the movie version. It just makes me think that remaking the movie for manga and anime was just out of convenience more than anything else. It's been made clear that Super went into production at Toei well before it was ready, and the manga probably just included it because Resurrection F got a tie in manga adaptation. Or, maybe it was to help Toei out and create marketing synergy.
I remember reading the early arcs of the manga and after Battle of Gods ends it skips directly to the Tournament of Destroyers and just says something like: "go read the other manga".

Gonna be a lot of people and some newcomers too. Ah, yes, my friend, Dragon Ball is alive and well once again.

I also wonder when it comes to the dub, are they going to "stick to the script" this time around? Because let's be honest with ourselves, although Kai, Super, and Daima show that Funimation/Crunchyroll improved with accuracy, they still deviate sometimes. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME TO OG SUPER. The only difference is that with Z, dub changes were done because Funimation didn't feel American kids would be able to handle Z the way it was it Japan. But with Super, dub changes were just done for the sake of being different from Japan.

I think just like Z Kai adhered closer to the original Japanese script, I think Chris Sabat or whoever handles the Super Kai dub (I know Super and Daima had different dub ADR directors and not entirely Sabat) needs to take this opportunity to be as faithful as possible just like with Z Kai. No "Sure, let's go see Yamcha" crap lines. And funny enough, Chris Sabat kind of said he was worried about making changes like that in the original Super dub, but did it anyway because he felt it fit the spirit of Toriyama's humor. And that's fair, but now - No more of that.

There's the Dragon Ball Z dub with all its inconsistencies and terrible lines/deliveries. Then, there's Dragon Ball Z Kai with more accuracy and better lines/deliveries.

We already have the Dragon Ball Super dub with all its intentional line changes deviating from the Japanese version. Now, we need Super Kai to be more faithful like Z Kai was with Funimation. Just like the OG Z dub, let the OG Super dub be a fun nostalgia thing that we can all look back on fondly or laugh at it. That's the best thing about this. Just like Z and Z Kai, now with two versions of Super, we get the best of both worlds.

It makes sense to remaster Super, tie it to the Manga and finally have only one continuity. This had to be done. Cherry on top is that the anime finally gets a good treatment, fixing its old pacing, animation, and characterization issues.

Long-term good choice even though short-term it means having to wait a little bit more for new stories.

Its not going to be an adaptation of the manga, this will be more consistent with the 2015 Super anime since they will be giving it the Kai treatment just with more new animation. That means Bulma's birthday party will be happening on a boat, in the manga it was at Capsule Corp like the movie.

In the manga it was in the boat too.

It seems like this new Super will not just be a Kai version but will incorporate some elements from the manga. For example, in BoG there will be Goku mind training at the beginning. And it seems like he will stay SSG through the fight with Beerus (no God-absorbed SS1).

Not at all assuming this, especially as that mandates major changes to RoF too, but man, that would clear up so many headaches...

Especially if it did come with a redone RoF that aligned itself to that idea.

I can't say that I like the idea of ​​an enhanced version but I hope they don't treat each arc as a different series because in the end we'll have too many different series and as a result the distribution will be quite complicated.

It's the same thing Demon Slayer did. Per-arc subtitles are in vogue.

Hopefully the dub drops as close as possible to the Japanese release dates so we don't hear the same excuse that "well, you've already seen the Japanese version so we wanted to give you something different".

It could happen though, Daima's dub was only released a month after the Japanese version premiered on Fuji TV.

I can’t get over how silly this is. Masako Nozawa is 90 years old and we’re wasting our time remaking a 10 year old anime. Toei should have done like Ufotable did with Demon Slayer and spliced the actual high quality film animation into episodes, rather than doing a sloppy low quality remake for TV only to go and remake THAT a few years later.

Oh well. Wake me up when the Galactic Patrol arc comes out.

She's 89, stop tying to make her seem older than she is.

[Dragmobot12]

This is going the be the Snyder Cut of Dragon Ball Super, basically, lol, or better Toriyama's Cut. Finally get to see the man's true vision of the respective arcs.

[Koitsukai]

Can you imagine Goku using SS3 vs Freeza in RoF, or even SSG?

[Grimlock]

I thought about that too. And I can see us losing a few voice actors along the way, before we even get to the Moro saga, so expect new voice actors to take over characters with recognizable voices. All because we are stuck here, wasting time retelling what doesn't really warrant a retell, all for the sake of "looking beautiful this time around!". Hopefully no one leaves us this year, but reality will come knocking whether we want it or not.

This is really not the time for that, if we must get more content, let it be new so at least we get the full experience while recognizable people are still alive.

Why do you not like the idea of an enhanced version? How does it affect you that one exists?

Why should they not treat each arc as a different series? Like Cipher has said, Demon Slayer has been doing this. Jujutsu Kaisen has also done this. The distribution hasn't been difficult, either. Each arc gets its own home video release on just like anime is typically released.

Toei Animation likely does not have the rights to simply use the footage of the Dragon Ball Z films for re-edited episodes. Those films have different production committees and than the television series did, most notably the inclusion of FOX. Demon Slayer and BORUTO do not have such an issue and are able to re-edit films into episodes.

The Galatic Patrol is going to take a year to be ready for release, anyway, it isn't like they're wasting time by having this mostly low-priority project come out in the interim.

Can you imagine Goku using SS3 vs Freeza in RoF, or even SSG?

I'm hoping to see Super Saiyan 4 Gokuu lose to Beerus but I actually quite like Gokuu only needing one transformation to battle Freeza. The structure of fights works better with only one transformation. In the Broly film, the multiple transformations work out because of Broly himself growing stronger with time, but generally-speaking, it just feels like fights are spinning their wheels when everyone is transforming three-plus times per fight.

[Muffin Man]

Personally, as someone who always disliked the original Super anime, I feel like it's essential that they remake the original if they want to adapt the manga arcs. The original Super was just not suitable enough. I hope I like this new one better (although there are still a number of things about Super I hate on a conceptual level...like the existence of the omni-king or the fact that Freeze gets revived permanently, undoing the satisfaction of him being deposed and eliminated from the universe in Z...in my mind, in contrast to GT which had concepts I love but a terrible execution, the original Super had concepts I hate and a mid execution...but we'll see how I feel if those concepts get a better execution this time...though I can't see the Freeza thing ever not pissing me off, unless it all eventually ends in his humiliation and demise again at some point).

[Zephyr]

Toriyama was the one who wanted the two Z films retold in the first place. So, presumably, some of the changes in those retellings came from Toriyama. And, of course, we know that they kinda botched those retellings. When they're talking about this being closer to Toriyama's original vision or whatever, they don't mean that it's closer to his original original vision (that is the film), they mean that it's closer to his original vision for the retellings, which were meant to be properly updated versions of the story.

Think of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods like the Weekly Shonen Jump serialization of the original manga, and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus like the Tankobon release of the original manga. 2015's Dragon Ball Super was like a botched attempt at that Tankobon release, so they're doing it over. It is in that sense that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is "closer to Toriyama's vision".

That's my read on it at least.

This is going the be the Snyder Cut of Dragon Ball Super, basically, lol, or better Toriyama's Cut. Finally get to see the man's true vision of the respective arcs.

Yeah, I think the comparisons are inevitable. It's rare for studios to show weakness by essentially throwing their hands up and saying "yeah, we fucked up the first time, here's another crack at it". As much as yet another retelling of this decade-old story arc feels incredibly unnecessary, the first few arcs of Super genuinely are that much of an embarrassment for Toei Animation. As well as serving the purpose of getting audiences back up to speed with the premise of Super, this definitely feels like Iyoku and co trying to save face. While I'm normally fine with letting things stand, I can understand the desire to do this, and there's a strong likelihood that this remake will totally overwrite the original production in most people's eyes.

I too find it off-putting that the studios are, as expected, trotting out Toriyama's name and artwork onto new projects as a way to validate them. I don't disbelieve that Toriyama was also interested in seeing true justice done to his anime treatments, but I think Iyoku is overstating it. Toriyama moaned about the anime being shitty and rushed, and probably greenlit a remake/remaster, but I highly doubt he was deeply involved in this. He never struck me as the kind of author to dwell on a botched project, he'd just move onto the next thing.

This remake is strangely more fascinating than Galactic Patrol a) because it was even more unexpected and b) it's harder to understand the motivation behind it. Don't get me wrong, GP is obviously more exciting and feels like a pipedream come true — seriously, they've been on the fence about adapting the manga-exclusive arcs for so long, and now they're finally doing it!! People keep speculating that they'll make significant changes for petty corporate/political reasons, but Goku and Vegeta's designs in that trailer were clearly based on Toyotaro's artwork; I think it's largely gonna be a straightforward adaptation. Plenty of beats in the Moro arc felt tailor-made for the anime staff to run wild with.

[JulieYBM]

Nobody was asking for this, though, so I don't see how this is a comparison to Snyder, unless there's a group of right-wing incels online who have been demanding that the production committee do a different cut.

I think this is totally just Iyoku seeing a cheap buck to be made and forcing it through.

[Cipher]

I don't know why people are taking this in bad faith. The Moro arc adaptation is more than a year out, and as a seasonal production aiming for high quality (if Daima set a precedent), it wasn't coming any faster.

Recutting Super 2015 makes use of the gap in time while building hype without committing resources on the scale of a new production, and also gives audiences a way to prep themselves for new content given the original TV run will have ended nearly a decade ago by the time it hits. It also solves the problem of the original series just being very uninviting.
