Dragon Ball Super is coming back to television for the first time in six years, and it’s not a quiet return. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus premiered in Japan on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with a same-day international rollout, and Toei just confirmed a New York Comic Con panel, a world-premiere screening, and a full new trailer.
This isn’t a brand-new story arc — it’s a full remaster with new footage, new threats teased, and a real event built around it. Here’s everything actually confirmed so far.

1. The “ENHANCED Edition” Remaster

Toei is calling this the “ENHANCED edition”: a remastered, recut version of the original God of Destruction Beerus, Golden Frieza, and Universe 6 sagas, rebuilt with new animation, re-recorded dubbing, added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story. Every battle sequence has reportedly been re-rendered from the ground up.
Publisher: Toei Animation
Format: TV broadcast + same-month streaming
Who it’s for: Longtime fans who want the Beerus and Frieza arcs with modern visual polish, and newcomers who never caught the original run.
Why now: The newly revealed “Super Surge” key visual and trailer both hint at new threats beyond Beerus and Frieza entering the story — outlets covering the reveal note Toei has confirmed more anime arcs are coming after this one.
2. New Trailer, New Theme Songs
Alongside the October 11 premiere date, Toei released the full “Super Surge” trailer, built around all-new footage. It opens on a Kamehameha and intercuts Goku with Beerus, foreshadowing what the official site calls “an unprecedented crisis bearing down on Earth.”
Publisher: Toei Animation
Format: Trailer, opening/ending theme reveal
Who it’s for: Fans who want to gauge the tone before the premiere.
Why now: The opening theme, “ONOGAMI,” comes from singer-songwriter MEGATERA・ZERO; the ending theme, “Kan Peki No Peki,” comes from VK Blanka — who also wrote the long-running Black Clover opening “Black Catcher” and is marking his 10th anniversary as an artist this same month.
3. New York Comic Con Gets the World Premiere

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is getting a dedicated panel at New York Comic Con 2026, running Thursday, October 8, from 12:00–12:45 PM at the Empire Stage in the Javits Center, with a world-premiere advance screening of the show’s first episode — days before it airs in Japan.
Publisher: Toei Animation / New York Comic Con
Format: Convention panel + advance screening
Who it’s for: Anyone attending NYCC 2026, or fans tracking English dub casting.
Why now: The panel is hosted by Monica Rial (English dub voice of Bulma), with Jason Douglas (Beerus) and Ian Sinclair (Whis) joining on stage. Attendees get a Beerus fan chain, face towel, and a Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World Energy Marker as giveaways.
4. Who’s Behind It

The project credits Akira Toriyama for original work, story, and character design, with Matsuto Seya handling composition and direction arrangement, Tadayoshi Yamamuro as animation character designer and general animation director, and Norihito Sumitomo returning to score the music.
Publisher: Toei Animation, from a story by Akira Toriyama
Format: Full creative team return
Who it’s for: Fans who care about creative continuity, not just a new coat of paint.
Why now: It’s a familiar creative team, which lines up with Toei’s framing of this as a definitive, high-budget version of a story most fans already know by heart.
