About this listen

To celebrate the franchise’s 40th anniversary, Toei Animation has announced Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, a comprehensive visual and narrative reconstruction of the series' initial arcs. Slated for a 2026 release, this "enhanced edition" features redrawn animation, updated audio, and a tighter plot that adheres strictly to the late Akira Toriyama’s original vision. This strategic overhaul aims to reclaim the franchise's dominance by matching the high-production standards and seasonal quality of modern "new-gen" hits like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Alongside this project, a direct sequel titled Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol was revealed, which will finally adapt the manga’s subsequent storylines for television. By modernizing its foundational battles while maintaining its unmatched legacy, the series seeks to prove that it remains the definitive leader of the shonen genre.
