The animators would have been working with Goku's [[Super Saiyan 3]] design drawn by [[Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru]] for ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'', which does not have the kanji on the breast. This design was showcased along with other production materials for this arc in the booklet accompanying [[Dragon Ball Super Box 1]].

''Dragon Ball Super'' went into production just three months before its debut, and there were only a few episodes at most finished when [[Dragon Ball Super Episode 1|episode 1]] was broadcast. Episode 5 probably took about four weeks to complete, and there was not enough time for Tate, Ide, and Yamamuro to correct the episode's most unpolished scenes before broadcast, though corrections were still being made after the NEP was broadcast the previous week, as seen above under "Errata".

Corrections made for the Blu-ray release improved the quality of the episode overall, but in some cases, it is debatable whether the corrections were an improvement. Motion blur was added to many scenes including what is presumed to be animation supervisor [[Naoki Tate]]'s uncredited key animation, and chief animation supervisor [[Takeo Ide]] made some questionable corrections to Tate's work.

"Showdown on Kaiō's Planet! Goku vs God of Destruction Beerus" is the fifth episode of the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super. The episode first aired in Japan on Fuji TV on 09 August 2015. It was written by Yoshifumi Fukushima and directed by Masanori Satō.

Synopsis

Summary

As Kaiō welcomes Beerus and Whis to his planet, Goku hides inside. Peering out, he assumes Whis must be the "God of Destruction" Kaiō warned him about, and is surprised when Beerus steps out from behind Whis. Kaiō offers the pair food, but Beerus warns that if it tastes as bad as last time, he'll make Kaiō's planet even smaller. Despite Kaiō's attempts at distracting him, Beerus casually asks about the hiding Saiyan. With no way around it, Goku comes out and formally introduces himself to Beerus and Whis, but Beerus is disappointed to learn Goku knows nothing of "Super Saiyan God". Whis suggests they head back home, but Beerus is still determined: after all, even the Oracle Fish spoke of Super Saiyan God. They decide to travel to Earth to ask Vegeta, but Goku interrupts and requests a match against Beerus. Despite all of Kaiō's warnings, he still wants to see Beerus' power for himself.

Goku first powers up into his regular Super Saiyan form, but Beerus easily dodges all of his attacks. He next goes up to Super Saiyan 2, but his punches still have no effect on Beerus, who isn't even bothering to counterattack. Beerus asks Goku to bring out all of the power he's hiding; otherwise, Beerus won't show his own power. In response, Goku finally powers all the way up to Super Saiyan 3. Beerus notes that this transformation far surpasses Goku's prior forms, and even Whis decides that now the fight will probably last long enough for him to eat his bentō. Goku unleashes a furious barrage of punches against Beerus, blowing away the ground of Kaiō's planet through sheer force, but even still Beerus easily blocks them all with one hand. Goku nails Beerus with a head-on Kamehameha, but when the dust clears Beerus isn't even scratched. Goku charges headfirst at Beerus, but suddenly draws back at the last moment. Beerus is impressed: somehow Goku must have sensed Beerus was finally about to attack, despite being unable to detect Beerus' ki. This makes him think Goku must have some real potential. Could this potential be Super Saiyan God?

Goku fires another Kamehameha, and though it goes straight through Kaiō's planet it's no more effective against Beerus than the first. Since Goku has shown him some interesting stuff, Beerus decides to tell Goku something worthwhile in return: Gods of Destruction... are scary! With that, he takes Goku down with two small, quick blows. Whis gives Bubbles his leftovers, and he and Beerus depart for Earth. Kaiō sees that Goku is luckily still alive; Beerus must have gone easy on him. On Earth, Vegeta has finally come to the cruise ship to join Bulma's party, though he refuses to mingle with the others. While he sits by himself, Kaiō telepathically contacts him and warns of Beerus' imminent arrival. Though Vegeta has heard of Beerus, he's still amazed to hear that Beerus defeated Goku so easily. Kaiō warns that Vegeta must do whatever it takes to prevent Beerus from getting angry, or the Earth is doomed! Back on Kaiō's planet, Goku regains consciousness. He can't believe someone as powerful as Beerus exists; even merging with Vegeta wouldn't be enough to defeat him! It seems the only way is to become Super Saiyan God...

Episode Notes

  • In the 2013 theatrical film Battle of Gods, Whis notes that Beerus destroyed Kaiō's planet after losing a game of "hide-and-seek", whereas in Dragon Ball Super Beerus himself says that it was because of the bad tasting food Kaiō served during his last visit. This tidbit was first introduced by author Akira Toriyama in his seven question Q&A in the third volume of the "Dragon Ball Full Color: Saiyan Arc",[1] although he noted that it was because Beerus lost to Kaiō in a car racing video game.

Errata

Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru's design for Goku's Super Saiyan 3 form, from Dragon Ball Super Box 1.
  • In the previous episode's next episode preview (NEP), Goku's dōgi is often missing its "go" (悟) kanji, both the large one on his back and the small one over his heart. These errors were corrected for the episode's broadcast.

The animators would have been working with Goku's Super Saiyan 3 design drawn by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru for Dragon Ball Z, which does not have the kanji on the breast. This design was showcased along with other production materials for this arc in the booklet accompanying Dragon Ball Super Box 1.

Main Staff

The following list provides the main staff responsible for the production of this episode as credited in this specific episode's ending credits.

Production

Animation

This episode is infamous for its unfinished and unpolished animation, and it is widely regarded as the first indication that the show's production was under incredible stress. Some of its worst scenes were eventually corrected for the home video release.

Series animation director Tadayoshi Yamamuro and producer Norohiro Hayashida attended Salón del Manga de Barcelona, held in Spain from 29 October to 01 November 2015, just short of three months after the broadcast of this episode. Anime News Network (ANN) interviewed both of them together, but it was Hayashida who fielded the criticism of Yamamuro's department.[2]

ANN: So, speaking of Dragon Ball Super: what's up with the animation issues that have been happening?
Hayashida: The criticism we've received has been way too overblown. Someone put a few video sequences that looked bad onto the Internet, and people focused on them when talking about an entire series. You can not criticize an entire product by only looking at a few sequences.
The animators responsible for those scenes are newbies who just started working at this level in the industry, which means their skills are evolving right now. Anyway, they are good animators, and I just do not understand why they get picked on to such a degree.

Highlights from Ken Ōtsuka's work on this episode.

The episode is supervised by Dragon Ball Z veteran Naoki Tate and further corrected by chief animation supervisor Takeo Ide, who is responsible for the odd-numbered episodes in Dragon Ball Super, and also by Yamamuro himself. There is one entry for this episode on Sakugabooru, a website dedicated to documenting the highlights of the industry's greatest animators.

The episode also features key animation from industry veteran Ken Ōtsuka. The episode's roughest scenes are drawn by unidentified animators, but even the experienced animators' work suffered under the extreme scheduling conditions.

Dragon Ball Super went into production just three months before its debut, and there were only a few episodes at most finished when episode 1 was broadcast. Episode 5 probably took about four weeks to complete, and there was not enough time for Tate, Ide, and Yamamuro to correct the episode's most unpolished scenes before broadcast, though corrections were still being made after the NEP was broadcast the previous week, as seen above under "Errata".

The table below provides a guide to each key animator's work within the episode. Unless a source is provided, each attribution is a presumption based on the animator's best known style traits and handwriting.

Availability

This episode has been released in numerous countries and languages around the world in both streaming and physical formats. "Simulcast" streaming services (even Funimation) use the Toei Animation subtitles rather than the Funimation subtitles by Steven J. Simmons, while digital purchase platforms use the Simmons subtitles that are provided on the Funimation DVDs and Blu-rays.

Streaming debut dates only apply to the subtitled simulcast. Dubbed episodes were to Funimation's streaming service a few weeks after the dub broadcast, and to AnimeLab around the time of the Madman home video release. Simulcast dates reflect regional time zones. The United Kingdom was originally covered by the now-defunct Daisuki streaming service until Crunchyroll added the UK to their Dragon Ball Super coverage area on 30 May 2017.
