A premier date has been announced for the enhanced version of Dragon Ball Super.
The new TV anime Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will premier on October 11th, the same day as Dragon Ball Daima premiered in 2024.
The first episode will however have a sneak peak on October 8th at New York City Comic Con.
In keeping with tradition the new TOEI anime will air on Fuji TV, albeit at a later timeslot than the 2015 version of Dragon Ball Super did.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will air at 11:15pm on Fuji TV.
Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT all aired at 7pm Wednesdays on the same channel, but Dragon Ball Kai and Dragon Ball Super aired at the earlier 9am timeslot, although Dragon Ball Daima premiered at 11:40pm.
Norihito Sumitomo will be returning as the composer.
As “Broadcasting and Streaming” is in the promo it seems likely that much like Dragon Ball Daima, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will be distributed to several different streaming services around the world subtitled, no dubs have been confirmed as of this point.
The official announcement describing the project stated:
“The project features extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-rendering of all footage, newly recorded dubbing with added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story. Living up to the name ENHANCED, this edition employs the latest visual expression to deliver greater power and immersion across all scenes, especially the battle sequences. The result is an ENHANCED edition that expresses Akira Toriyama‘s original idea and worldbuilding more accurately, that will be broadcasted with highly satisfying quality.”
In relation to the story of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus the staff stated the following:
“Several years have passed since the fierce battle against Majin Buu, and Earth has finally regained a brief moment of peace. At the same time, Beerus, the God of Destruction, awakens from his long, deep sleep. Even Kai and Supreme Kai, aware of Beerus’s overwhelming power to destroy entire planets, watch his awakening with great fear… Meanwhile, Beerus hears rumors of a Saiyan who defeated Frieza—and suddenly appears before Goku.Targeted by Beerus, the strongest being in the universe, Earth is in grave danger. Thus begins an Earth-shattering cosmic battle between the God of Destruction and Goku and his allies—a conflict that will shake the entire universe.”
Other staff members confirmed for Dragon Ball Super Beerus will include:
- Matsuto Seya on Composition and Direction Arrangement
- Tadayoshi Yamamuro for Animation Character Design & General Animation Director
- Eichi Nishimura as editor
- Yōsuke Motoki will be the Compositing Director
The first promotional art indicated that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus would only be covering the Battle of Gods story arc, but this new promo confirms that the Resurrection F and Universe 6 arcs will also be adapted.
