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

At the Genkidamatsuri event, they revealed the Beerus arc. Games Battle Hour they revealed the Gold Freeza arc. Now maybe on Comic-con they'll reveal the Champa arc. One New Arc revealed per-event lol. Just a guess though.

Anyway about what Geekdom said, I think it's crazy if the Champa arc really ends being just 7 episodes. That means if we really get the Zamasu and ToP arcs, and trimmed in a similar way, then indeed the total runtime of this Kai-like series won't conflict with the supposed release of the Moro arc for late 2027. There will be enough time for them to retell all 5 arcs and maybe even a Broly retelling if they plan to do such, I didn't expect for it to be this short which is why I was skeptical about seeing Moro prior to 2028.

The entire series could easily be done up through Moro in the length of 52 episodes, which I've said before. Even including a short "F" retelling and Broly retelling. The manga, after all, gets to Moro within 42 chapters, and not all pack in more content than an anime episode would fill.

If that's true, then the number of episodes was halved. The U6 saga in the original was 13 episodes (28-41). The Beerus saga is certainly more than halved, since it went from 14 episodes to 6.

I really just want them to do the same with the Future Trunks saga and the Tournament of Power saga. There's a lot of fat to trim.

21 episodes -> 13 episodes and 54 episodes -> 25 episodes seems about right.

I mean, surely there is a middle ground between the manga off-screening Kefla and Anilaza and the original anime making like 5 episodes just for Ribrianne.

I can't see a scenario where the Zamasu arc, arguably Super's most popular arc, doesn't get this remake/remaster treatment; at most we'll have to wait a bit longer for it.

I’d honestly be pretty disappointed if it doesn’t happen, because I definitely think the Zamasu arc deserves it. But at the same time, I think it’s totally realistic that it might not happen. One Piece has several other arcs that could really benefit from a remaster too, yet the Fish-Man Island arc has been a unique case so far.

That being said, I’m not gonna argue against myself here — I hope you’re right, and that we get a Future Trunks arc remaster too.

It could also be a strategy. If they don’t say “we’re definitely doing it” just yet, they’ll have something “new” to announce after the Moro arc. On the other hand, they could also spread everything out and plan it better. After the remastered Champa arc, there’s now “nothing”; you have to switch to the old DBS series (which is technically a different series) and select the right episode when the Future Trunks arc starts. That doesn’t really make much sense. I still assume the remaster will cover the entire series, but it might take longer than expected.

Don't anime seasons release in 13 or 26 batches of episodes ? If Beerus (6 episodes), Golden Freeza (5 episodes), and Champa (7 episodes) make up 18 episodes, then we theoretically might get the Zamasu arc as a surprise announcement later this year at Jump Festa to round out the remaining 8 episodes to reach that 26 episode threshold.

And some seasons are 8 episodes (Demon Slayer), and some are 11 episodes (Also Demon Slayer), some 12 episodes (Chainsaw Man S1), some 13 episodes (My Hero Academia S1), some 23 episodes (Jujutsu Kaisen S2), and some are 28 episodes (Frieren), etc..

I'd say, anecdotally, 12-episode seasons or cours seem to be the most common nowadays, but I wouldn't read too much into it.

A production committee will buy timeslots based on availability and what they want from their period of promoting a series actively. It should be noted that while Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer did have eight episodes for its last season, those were not entirely standard-length 24-ish minute episodes. Some of them were longer.

Toei Animation tends to be very traditional about the timeslots that its projects get. The laat time I can remember an episode having a non-standard length was, again, Daima having that 32-minute-long first episode and also only running for, what, twenty-one weeks? Otherwise, it's still a series constructed to fit neatly in their usual international-friendly 23-minute long, multiples of 12 or 13 episodes format.

That being said, I could see the production committee agreeing to try to fit those first four Super arcs into 26 episodes, for sure. It would neatly fill the ONE PIECE (1999) timeslot while it's on hiatus for six months. I guess we'll see how this all pans out in a few months!

Apparently, Tadayoshi Yamamuro will be the character designer for the Moro arc instead of Shintani, according to Geekdom. He mentioned that Shintani will be involved, but only on major episodes. As always, take this a huge grain of salt. Ajay probably would know more about this.

I really cannot comprehend Toei’s reasoning behind on keeping bringing Yamamuro back. He brings nothing of value anymore.

If this is true—stressing the word 'if' here—then the reason would be purely because it maintains consistency with the Enhanced Edition and the orignal 2015 series.

Well in case it's true, personally it doesn't really bother me that much, though I also genuinely can't understand why keep him in the lead after they just spent a little more than a half decade experimenting with new artists in the lead character designer role in the latest 3 main animated productions. With one of them even going to work in the latest console game. Kinda gives the feeling that it was for nothing as Yamamuro would still remain as the character designer anyway. I can only think that the decision is due to consistency like Julie said. But I'm at least confident we'll get good things from it.

The most important for me though is the other info given by Geekdom, which is that the Golden Freeza and Chapa arcs will both have 7 episodes.
The number of episodes combined with the 6 from Beerus' would result in 20 episodes, which would be repeating what was done to Daima, airing from October to February, and he said is part of the planning of having Dragon Ball switch to a seasonal anime format.

So it wouldn't be ongoing as there would be breaks, and this would then connect with the leak we got a few months ago saying that this remake series would likely stop at the Champa arc.

This can only lead me to imagine that the rest of the remake (Zamasu & ToP) will come in the Summer season of 2027, or we indeed won't get those two arcs prior to Moro as that would be reserved for Fall season of 2027.

My thoughts, I absolutely dislike giving the Golden Freeza and Champa arcs the same number of episodes, one story is significantly longer and has more characters than the other. If the idea is the first part of Super 2.0 having 20 episodes, then Champa could be very well at least 9 episodes long or ideally 10, and Freeza should be no longer than 4 or 5.
I'm already 100% skeptical that this new version of the series will have anything more than just cuts / shorter stories and improved / remade visuals, but I at least expect the cuts to feel natural. In case it's true that both arcs will have 7 episodes, I think there's a big chance it will feel like something stuck together with spit and chewing gum. I hope not.

[JulieYBM]

If Nagamine Tatsuya couldn't be given the resources to give his re-edit of the ONE PIECE Fish-Man Island arc some finesse, I doubt that Dragon Ball Super: Enhanced Edition will receive better care. That being said, any number of episodes would work for these arcs if the production crew was simply allowed to be given the time and resources necessary to create good art. This ain't going to happen here, though. The Enhanced Edition is being made for the lowest common denominator, the casual fan, so that they can get a refresher on the story of Dragon Ball Super, before the bigger push is made for The Galactic Patrol.

With luck, Shintani actually is the animation character designer of The Galactic Patrol, and the production will be well-done. This is, however, Dragon Ball, and therefore exists not for the sake of making good art, but for the sake of making a profit. I would not put it past Iyoku Akio to have simply asked Toei Animation to use Yamamuro Tadayoshi for the animation character designer role because new animation overseen by Yamamuro could be seamlessly be intercut with Dragon Ball Super: Enhanced Edition footage.

Something-something, brace for the worst and if you're lucky, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Consistency isn’t really necessary. We had both Minoru Maeda and Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru as the lead character designers within the span of Z. And Nakatsuru was an upgrade over him. In Super’s case, the production committee is doing disservice to the series by bringing Yamamuro back. That’s if they actually bring him back as a CD. If what we saw of him in Daima, under Nakatsuru as the CD, was what he is like with great schedule, then I fear the Moro arc isn’t going to be as visually pleasing.


Edit: Ajay just debunked it and confirmed that Shintani is indeed the character designer for the Moro arc. It would be very strange if Yamamuro was brought back as the designer, given that the poster was done by Shintani himself. It was logically insensible. I’m glad he sorted it out for us.

Well, there we go. Nobody is surprised.

[angeldreamZ004]

But what about the episode count, having it end with 20 episodes in February matches quite well what Ajay said previously about the series stopping at the Champa arc and focusing in the Moro arc with no sign of the Zamasu and ToP arcs in the Summer season. Plus the two and Venixys gave around the same number for Golden Freeza and Champa, 6-7 episodes.
I believe that is very likely true, it will have a break after Champa, and resume with Moro in October 2027.
