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

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z also looked ugly, so I wouldn't particularly act like Dragon Ball Super was somehow the first time that the series looked unbecoming or whatever.

DB & Z generally looked good, with ugly episodes being the odd ones every now and then. Super on the other hand, at least before the tournament of power, looked ugly on a regular basis.

Dragon Ball Super looked ugly every episode. It's a hideously designed series both from a character design, color design and art design sense. Even the latter half of the series is hideous. You could have the series look on model and it would still look terrible, the fact that the bad scheduling let some animators (Tate, Takahashi) slip in good looking shots because there was no time to redraw them on-model makes the whole project look even more like a joke.

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z had awful color design, bland directing and layouts, and multiple sub-contracting studios that produced poor work either because of the scheduling and/or the complexity of the character designs being outside of their wheelhouse. It's not a particularly pretty series or one that's well-animated to any degree of consistency. Even the best shots in the series are few-and-far between due to the lack of support from Toei Animation as a whole for producing better animation.

Like, yeah, Uchiyama-supervised and Ebisawa-supervised episodes are often what we think of when it comes to the worst episodes of those first three series, but that doesn't really mean the rest of the episodes looked good or wasn't hindered by the overall project intentionally only being allowed so much time for production to create good directing, animation and color design. If we want to think about a series that aired during Dragon Ball Z's heyday that looked good, look no further than Yuu Yuu Hakusho.

I hate that I just relitigated decade-plus old bullshit, but the point is: nothing is sacred. Toei Animation, on an executive-level, knows what it is doing. It's unfair to the staff and it's unfair to the projects, but it's a decision that is nevertheless being made. Barring the movies and Dragon Ball Daima, Dragon Ball has never been created to be anything more than mostly disposable filler meant to promote merchandise in a television slot.

By the look of things, The Galactic Patrol is going to be closer to Dragon Ball Daima in following the more modern practice of making these anime adaptions of manga be worth owning and rewatching by virture of dedicating more time and staff to a production that's going to intentionally aim for a higher quality. I'm looking forward to seeing how that ultimately pans out for The Galactic Patrol, though.

It makes sense that any talented animators working on the Super Enhanced version would wind up moving over to work on Moro once production was ready to start on that. The worst part of this news is that Yamamuro is probably also moving over to work on Moro, like he did for Dragon Ball Daima. I do hope that they delay the release of the series, just because I'd prefer them to be as closed to having every episode of the project finished as possible before they do a release. Dragon Quest: Dai no Dai-Bouken had something like two cours finished before it because airing, if memory serves. The Moro arc wouldn't be more than that, I imagine.

If the potential character designer is Shintani, and we don't have every reason not to believe that that's the case based on his artwork on the Galactic Prisoner poster, then Yamamuro will have to follow the character sheets, which would obviously be the best case scenario. Yamamuro's work in Daima was not bad. If that's how he would wind up in the Moro arc, then there shouldn't be a cause of any concern to us.

It would make absolutely no sense to remake a series then stop at the most popular arcs. We'll likely get the Black arc in the Fall of 2028 once Moro wraps up earlier that year.

Late 2026 to early 2027: First 3 arcs of the remake.

Late 2027 to early 2028: Moro arc.

Late 2028 to early 2029: Black and TOP remakes.

Late 2029 to early 2030: Granola arc.

This is what a healthy production looks like, as it gives everyone time to work on both projects without burning out the staff by overworking them.

Depending on how long they have decided the Moro arc to last, given that the manga arc is one of the longest, it will probably be a while before we see the Goku Black arc.

I watched Daima and I have reviewed his work on Sakugabooru numerous times before making the post you quoted. Yamamuro has the same problems that he has had for decades at this point and I have no need to just toss the guy a bone when he isn't giving me any reason to. His animation and his corrections remain a bloated eyesore with stiff timing.

[angeldreamZ004]

Masako Nozawa however is already almost 90 and they should have took the opportunity of her thankfully still being in good health to remake Black arc with new voice lines for the newly created scenes.
Moro arc is most definitely a 2028 release, so if they ever come back to the remake it'll be in 2030 and she's gonna be 94 years old. Way out of her prime though I hope she'll still be able to do the evil voice but who knows at that point. And I don't want Black done by any other VA, wouldn't hit the same.

There is that problem as well, the VAs aren't getting any younger, and Majin Boo already can no longer be Kozo Shioya [R.I.P], I don't know if he already recorded his voice lines for the Super remake, if they will do a recast, or if they'll just cut Boo from the remake, then recast him for Moro.
If Moro starts airing in 2028 only, then they would still have time to finish working on the remake, so It's another reason I think they should just finish the remake first.

Recasting everyone with Kai would have made the most sense. They already recast plenty of characters for that series and it was already very much a project meant to start a new era separate from the first era.

I agree, as much as I like how a lot of classic voices from DB and Z are still behind the same characters to this day, recasting them by younger VAs not only would make things safe from an animation perspective, but also from a video game perspective. In the 2010s, we started to have live service Dragon Ball games, and most of them continue delivering new content to this day. If the VAs pass away, what are they going to do? Keep the old voice lines in respect to the original VAs? Re-record everything with new VAs?

Well, this is terrible news. I’m really upset now.
Dragon Ball Super has become an even bigger mess and jumble than it already was.

Beerus – remaster series
Golden Freeza – remaster series
Champa – remaster series
Future Trunks – old, ugly series
Tournament of Power – old, ugly series
Broly – movie with a unique style
Moro – series with a unique style
Granolah – manga
Super Hero – CGI movie.

That weird nature of how Super treats its arcs is not present in the animation only. It’s in the manga as well, the manga specifically can’t decide how it handles the movie derived stories. Each one receives a different treatment.

Battle of Gods -- included, but is shortened with many scenes skipped. So it's kinda the most “vanilla” version of BoG.
Fukkatsu no ‘F’ -- skipped in the core manga, but received a promotional manga prior to it, but it’s incomplete.
Broly -- completely absent, just a small recap.
Super Hero -- is not only included, but is also extended to have extra stories with Goten and Trunks, as well as extra scenes added to the story adapted from the movie. Making the manga version a Super Hero Deluxe Edition.

Is there anyone who actually enjoys watching a story like this? Is this worthy of Dragon Ball?

Personally, yes, but because I already got used to it. But I know it's not ideal, especially for the general public. That's why I think they should just finish the remake first, or at least air everything in the correct canonical sequence.

It’s also possible that there will be a live-action Dragon Ball AF series.

Lol

Ajay has once again clarified that the project is not necessarily ending or getting cancelled, but rather getting paused temporarily to focus on the Moro arc. Once the Moro arc wraps up its main production phase, work will likely restart on the remaining two arcs.

This is what a healthy production looks like, as it gives everyone time to work on both projects without burning out the staff by overworking them.

I personally think it would be even healthier if they just allowed the production team to focus on finishing the remake first, so they wouldn't need to jump from one project to a different one, then later return to the previous project. Finish the Super remake so they won't need to touch it again, they'll be able to focus solely on Moro and what comes after it without a shift. At least I think that would be ideal. But if they are truly doing this, I at least hope they manage to release everything in sequence.

So while the Broly adaptation would be logically necessary but not necessarily likely due to having to animate a whole new arc from scratch when "brand new animation" efforts are focused on the Moro arc instead, I think it is VERY likely that Super Hero reanimated as a 2D TV series version including the high school adventures will be done after Moro and Granola.

People love the animation and visuals of the Broly movie, so I think they would most likely reuse most of the movie material and reanimate only specific parts, such as the CGI ones. Unless they have to follow an inner rule that they can't reuse Movie material (which is what seems to be happening with Beerus and Golden Freeza, using only the anime as their basis, so…)

And while Toyotaro can't continue the manga, they should actually tell him "since you can't continue for now, spend every month actually creating a full manga version of Resurrection 'F' and Broly so that we can include it in a later Perfect Edition / Kanzenban / Full Color release." I mean, since the guy has to wait, you might as well give him the monthly job of creating the chapters covering the missing arcs in the meantime, don't you think?

I wouldn't find that a bad idea, it would also make me curious to see the mysterious “manga Broly arc”, as the Super Hero movie showed a few battles from that movie in a different way. SSJ1 Broly fighting SSJB Goku and Vegeta in the Arctic, and Broly using LSSJ / FPSSJ against unfused Goku & Vegeta. So I wonder if Toyotaro would bring these differences for an adaptation.
And they're short stories, so he wouldn't spend so much time on them, part of Broly is already in Minus.

I watched Daima and I have reviewed his work on Sakugabooru numerous times before making the post you quoted. Yamamuro has the same problems that he has had for decades at this point and I have no need to just toss the guy a bone when he isn't giving me any reason to. His animation and his corrections remain a bloated eyesore with stiff timing.

I'm fully aware of his issues as an animator. I've watched his work on Daima. I've come to the same conclusion as you. He's just a tad better doing the work under someone else. The good news is that he's no longer the main character designer and hasn't been one since Toei demoted him in 2018–he is just a drop in a bucket. The overall aethestic of the show will be different without his conservative approach. The absolute worst thing he could do is correct talented animators' work in each episode he supervises.

We can certainly look forward to the episodes supervised by the likes of Takahashi, Kubota, Shintani, and other talented animation supervisors. I hope Naoki Tate will return with a healthy production schedule.

I mean, all I said was "The worst part of this news with that Yamamuro will probably be working on The Galatic Patrol." I mean this as diplomatically as possible, but I think we're having a more prolonged exchange than was really necessary.

[Vegard Aune]

Depending on how long they have decided the Moro arc to last, given that the manga arc is one of the longest, it will probably be a while before we see the Goku Black arc.

Considering how much of the arc is just prolonged fighting scenes (as is fairly typical for modern DB, let's be fair) I still say a single cour seems about right for it. It should give enough time for the plot and character beats to land, while also keeping the action moving at a brisk pace where we don't get stuck on a single encounter for episodes on end. Like, if they instead were to decide to do a a full half-year season, which would make Moro the second-longest arc after Universe Survival... Yeah I feel like that would just result in stuff like the Dragon Team VS Moro's Army fights being, like, a full episode per character. And while I actually do think some of those fights are fun in the manga, I don't think there's enough meat to them to really warrant that much screen time.

...It is true that Moro is one of the longest arcs in the manga, but it was also the first arc where it well and truly felt like Toyotaro was taking his time, rather than trying to get through the material as fast as possible to maintain some semblance of timeliness relative to the anime. The Future Trunks arc was almost at that point too, but then it did rather rush the ending, plus the overall plot was just more straightforward than in the show.

[mecha3000]

I swear if this whole "They're not remaking the Future Trunks and Tournament of Power arcs" thing is true, I'm going to be PISSED. As one of the few people actually FOR this remake, what's the point of if it won't be complete? Like, on one hand, I get remaking the Beerus and Golden Freeza arcs since the original anime versions were terrible. But if they went through the trouble of doing the U6 arc too, then why not just remake the other arcs as well?

This whole situation just screams classic Toei to me. Always getting your hopes up but never delivering when the time comes. I mean, how weird will it be for a first-time viewer to watch the remake up to the point where Zeno teases the ToP after the Goku vs. Hit fight - ONLY TO SKIP DIRECTLY TO MORO INSTEAD OF REMAKING THE TOP ARC AS WELL!!! I hope at the very least if they're not remaking the Future Trunks and Tournament of Power arcs with refreshed animation, then they just go the 2009 Kai route and recut the existing animation while cutting the filler out for the Future Trunks and ToP arcs (while also adding new opening and ending songs).

If they do that, I'll be more satisfied, although disappointed the final two arcs didn't get updated like the first three. But hey, it's better than just skipping from Champa to Moro and honestly, the Future Trunks and especially Tournament of Power arcs didn't have atrocious animation. So, as long as they recut it and cut the filler, I'll accept it. Hopefully, though, these leaks are based on premature information, and they are going to remake ALL of Super (possibly even including Broly and Super Hero).

Some people are suggesting they can work on the Future Trunks and ToP remake arcs after the Moro arc and have it be the placeholder until the Granolah arc comes. But that would be so confusing for the new fans that this remake should be catering to. At that point, they should just remake Super first and THEN focus on Moro and Granolah. Ugh, I really hope these leaks are just rumors and nothing else. Or if some of the team is leaving to work on Moro, the others stay to finish the remake.

[The Dark Knight]

The Moro arc is 25 chapters, with each chapter being 45 pages long, which is more or less equal to 3 weekly chapters. I think we will get an entire season of 24-26 episodes, as trying to include more than 1 chapter per episode might result in certain parts feeling rushed. I really don't want certain parts rushed or even ignored like what happened with Daima.

Someone here said that doing it this way (alternating between remakes and new arcs) is similar to what Capcom is doing with Resident Evil, and so far it's worked really well for them. I would obviously prefer if they finished the remake first, but in the long run, I'll be happy as long as it's finished, regardless of the order in which it's done.

I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing. I just feel like if you're trying to get new fans on board with this remake, it's a backwards way to do it. Most of the existing Super fanbase (not me, but still) is annoyed at this remake and calling it pointless. "UGH, WE HAVE TO SEE BEERUS AGAIN?!!! REALLY?!!!" Hell, KaiserNeko from TFS claimed this is the FIFTH TIME we're getting Battle of Gods retold because he counted the extended edition of the movie as an additional time. But new fans wouldn't be annoyed at the remake because it would be their first exposure to Super.

But whatever, it's Toei, nothing will ever be perfect and I just appreciate that Super is getting a remake at all (hopefully all of it). And hey, if Moro ends and THEN they remake Future Trunks and Tournament of Power, it will be akin to the OG Toonami days when new episodes would stop airing and they'd start over at Radtiz. Also, maybe this would be the best way to please old and new fans. A few arcs remade for the new fans, but not long enough to alienate the old fans for the Moro arc. And if the new fans get confused, at least they have the OG Super's Future Trunks and ToP arcs to watch before the Moro arc, if they're interested in doing that.

Still, I'd prefer they just do a full remake before moving on to Moro. I don't feel like watching Moro and then having to wait too long for the Granolah arc. I just want to go directly from the Moro arc to Granolah at that point. But if remastering/remaking Future Trunks and ToP gives Toei the time they need to work on Granolah, then so be it.

Oh, and also, if this remake news is true, I'm not even that excited for it anymore. At this point, I'd be better off just watching the 2015 Super series now instead of waiting for Beerus in the fall.

[Miracles]

I miss Toriyama. Hope the DB anime franchise has a good grasp on what the legend left behind. Use everything in his archives to the fullest. Don't hold back!

[mecha3000]

Also, on the note of Super only remaking the first three arcs for now, well in a classic Toei move, now EVERYONE IS UNHAPPY. The people who wanted Moro have to wait until after the Champa arc and the people who wanted the remake (or even new fans) will now get an incomplete version or one that is told out of order.

I even found a comment from a new fan on YouTube that basically reads like: "Man, as a newcomer to Dragon Ball, I hate how confusing everything is! I have to find out what's the best version to watch, what's a remake, which part to skip to, what is canon, what's a prequel and so on. It's so difficult to follow! This franchise is a mess!"

This is what I mean by Toei botched this AGAIN. And people like Rhymestyle are thinking short term with WE WANT MORO NOW, EVEN IF IT CONFUSES NEW FANS AND MAKES NO SENSE!!!

[The Dark Knight]

I would honestly just recommend a new fan to the franchise to watch DB and DBZ, then stop for the time being until this mess gets sorted out.

[JulieYBM]

We still don't know what precisely the animated version is going to be based on. Toyotarou wasn't mentioned at all in the information released, nor was his comic. For all we know, The Galactic Patrol anime is still just based on some memo that Toriyama either wrote before or after the serialization of the comic. Ergo, if the animated project isn't based on the comic, it is even less likely to follow its dragged out pacing. Well, barring the production committee having some insane idea to make the story arc last more than a single cour.

Hopefully this project is no more than only a single cour long so that the story is nice and dense. That or they get someone like Tomioka Atsuhiro to go wild with writing the character threads again and just keep fleshing them out and ignore sticking trickly to whatever story outline this arc is based off of.

I agree. Also, even if the remake intended to cover the Beerus and Golden Freeza arcs only, it would make sense from a specific perspective, because those two stories are the genesis of Super, they predate serialized Super, and without them, everyting that came after makes no sense, so it would make more sense if the remake stopped at the Golden Freeza arc rather than stopping at the Champa arc.

Someone here said that doing it this way (alternating between remakes and new arcs) is similar to what Capcom is doing with Resident Evil, and so far it's worked really well for them. I would obviously prefer if they finished the remake first, but in the long run, I'll be happy as long as it's finished, regardless of the order in which it's done.

The problem in my opinion, is that this is not a good comparison. I don't know much about Biohazard but as far as I know, given the order of release, the main series and remake series were always supposed to not follow a chronological order between them, so to this day you see the series switch between remakes and sequels, each one do follow a chronological order (Biohazard 9 will come after 8. Biohazard remake 4 will come after remake 3), but separate chronological orders, the two different Biohazards series don't need to talk to each other in regards to the order, they're separate, the remakes are called Biohazard + a number and the pure sequels as Biohazard + a subtitle to make it clear.

With DBSuper, it's different. By remaking the serialization before the Moro arc, they are trying to tell us that this is a attempt to intersect the First half of Super to the Moro arc, as if it was a single series. They are not calling the Beerus arc something like “Dragon Ball Super REMAKE Beerus” for a reason, by calling it “Dragon Ball Super Beerus” and the Moro arc “Dragon Ball Super The Galactic Patrol” they are giving the “remake” and the “sequel” the same treament, the same status, it's not two separate serializations. That means the Beerus-ToP must come before the Moro arc, and maybe, the Broly arc in the middle.
It's a attempt to make everything chronolically correct, from a release order point of view as well. A attempt to make Super work in the old fashioned way in one single media format the same way the original DB manga did from Pilaf to Boo.
That's at least the way I interpret it, I can be wrong though, but that's why I believe they won't release the Zamasu and ToP arcs after the Moro arc, it would not go as planned. I think Zamasu and ToP may come after Moro inside the production at best, I don't think they want it to be like this for the public.

A few arcs remade for the new fans, but not long enough to alienate the old fans for the Moro arc. And if the new fans get confused, at least they have the OG Super's Future Trunks and ToP arcs to watch before the Moro arc, if they're interested in doing that.
Oh, and also, if this remake news is true, I'm not even that excited for it anymore. At this point, I'd be better off just watching the 2015 Super series now instead of waiting for Beerus in the fall.

If they stop at the Champa arc, it will go against the purpose of the remake, and even if they still end up making the Zamasu and ToP arcs but release them after Moro, it will also go against the purpose of the remake as the remake has the intention to make the stories chronologically follow a release order as well. Revelation for Super Beerus says “Super Begins”, they can't start it and stop at a specific arc, or even compromise the chronological order of release, that would go against the plans.

If we don't get the Remade Zamasu and ToP arcs before the Moro arc, that will mean the plans have changed, and if we never get remade Zamasu and ToP arcs, then it will further expose this change. That's the way I currently view it.

[The Dark Knight]

One thing to consider is scheduling at Fuji TV. They might have a deal of producing X number of episodes to be aired for an X period of time, which may have resulted in them deciding that the best way to ensure quality remains a priority is alternating between remakes (lower time and effort) and new material (higher effort and more time).

Daima
Remake
Moro
Remake
Granola

The remakes can basically function as somewhat of a break for the team to relax a bit behind the scenes instead of putting out one high quality arc after another. Daima took roughly 2 years to make and considering work on Moro started earlier this year and won't air until late next year, that's another 2 years. The remakes are a nice way to ensure continuous content is released without burning the staff out.

[angeldreamZ004]

I don't know much about the television schedule deals with Fuji TV. But if I had to guess, I personally think it really doesn't matter that much. This surely meant a lot back in 2018 and that was one of the major reasons the original Super anime ended and didn't continue into 2019.
But it was a different context, nowadays anime work differently now when it comes to Japanese television schedules and the seasonal format. Daima was the embodiment of Dragon Ball in this new format and tested to see if it would've worked out or not.

The remake is planned to be continuous with no breaks between the arcs, that would mean more than 20, 30 episodes, one per week. I don't think a deal has been made in regards to the Moro arc yet, that means they could take a break if they are going to, like, separate that arc in two parts. They could also take a break before starting Granola, and same for Super Hero.

I don't know, I can't really think of a strong argument to justify them alternating between the sequel arcs and the remade arcs. I think it's just much easier to finish the remake up until the ToP (or Broly) first then jump into Moro. They haven't even revealed the year the Moro arc will be releasing, so they shouldn't even see a problem about delaying it internally, no one would complain that they delayed it.
Unless there's some shadow drama happening behind the scenes and not even the leakers are aware of, I actually think one of the most likely reasons they made that decision is that they saw the huge negative reaction the remake received on social media and that most people want the Moro Saga already, so they decided to abandon the remake and say "okay, let's give them what they want, as for the remake, just finish the last arc you have in advanced development state (Champa) then let's switch to DBS TGP”. (I think the only possible evidence to support this is that I remember Iyoku once saying that he's aware of what fans say online, I think it was around the release of either the Broly movie or Super Hero)

Anyway, regardless of what happens internally, I just hope they manage to release Zamasu-ToP (and maybe Broly) before Moro, it will highly contribute to what this new version of Super is aiming for.

[Nevaeh]

Is it fair to say that this remaster was in the works before they got the greenlight to animate the manga?

They should've just started with Champa. I'm not peeved at all though. Moro and possibly Granolah should be the priority

[angeldreamZ004]

Is it fair to say that this remaster was in the works before they got the greenlight to animate the manga?

Impossible to tell. As far as we know, officially, is that when DBS TGP was announced, Iyoku said that it has been set for production. And TGP only had a key visual and nothing more, meaning that it was still very very very early in development, while at the same event we got the trailer for Super Beerus which seemed very advanced in production. Meaning at least Super Beerus was already very far in production before they decided to start working on Moro.

If you want my personal opinion though, I believe that no, the remake was not being made prior to Shueisha giving them permission to animate Moro. I believe that actually, once Shueisha gave them permission to animate manga exclusive arcs, they thought "let's not start straight with Moro, let's redo DBS first", so I think the decision to redo DBS came with them getting the greenlight to animate the remaining manga arcs.
But it's possible that they decided to do the remake prior to getting the permission to animate Moro as well. There's even the possibility that the remake was initially just a project to buy them time (maybe alongside Daima) until they were allowed to animate Moro.
But for me it's less likely, because if this was the case, I believe the remake would be much ahead in development, like, currently, maybe at the ToP already. The leaks saying that they weren't even at the Zamasu arc yet makes me believe that they haven't been working on this remake for very long. Maybe they started it less than a year ago.

They should've just started with Champa.

They can't start with Champa because the main idea behind this remake is covering the entirety of different storylines that Super tell in different forms of media (movies & anime / manga), but this time, in a unique serialization under one specific media (anime). If they started with Champa, people would need to go back to either the two movies, the Beerus arc in the manga or the original Super anime to see the first two stories. They don't want this, they want everything to be told all in a single same serialization, they don't want specific arcs stuck in specific versions of Super. (Broly is a mystery)

Some people seem to have assumed that they would fully reanimate Super before the Moro arc, but that was never actually confirmed by TOEI. At first, I also thought the remake team and the Moro arc team were two separate teams. I have heard or read this somewhere, but now this appear to be incorrect rumours? But if the remake team is the same one, and if they want to give the Moro arc top-tier animation, then they would indeed need to be working on its production right now.

Ideally, they would fully rebroadcast Super on TV before starting the Moro arc. So if, after the remakes of BOG, ROF, and U6, we just get the original versions of the Future Trunks arc and TOP, then we can be almost certain those arcs won’t be remade.
If they’re not aired immediately, then the remake will likely come later. My guess is that they temporarily shifted focus to Moro because they want to ensure it gets top-notch quality. The rest might get a visual upgrade later as a bonus. If they want to bring Future Trunks, TOP and maybe even Broly into the same style as the rest of Super, they’ll probably need more time than they did for the first arcs—that’s not something done overnight—so that could explain why they’re pushing those further back in the schedule.
