Toei Animation is rebuilding Dragon Ball Super from the ground up. The franchise's official site confirmed on September 4 that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus — a fully reconstructed cut of the Super storyline — premieres October 11, 2026 at 11:15 p.m. JST on Fuji TV and its nationwide affiliates.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is a new Toei Animation TV series premiering October 11, 2026 on Fuji TV (11:15 p.m. JST). It is not a straight rerun: the project adds new cuts, redraws existing scenes, re-renders all footage, and re-records the dub, score, and sound effects around a complete reconstruction of the Dragon Ball Super story. The opening theme is "Kan Peki No Peki" by VK Blanka; the ending is "ONOGAMI" by MEGATERA･ZERO. SenpaiRanks tracks the original Dragon Ball Super at a consensus score of 7.45 — the baseline this remake is built to improve on.
What is actually changing
This is Toei repackaging Dragon Ball Super with modern production. Per the official announcement, expect extensive new animation cuts, revised scenes, a full re-render of the existing footage, and freshly recorded audio — dubbing, music, and effects — with the battle sequences singled out for the biggest visual upgrade. The staff frames it as a re-cut of the same arcs, not a sequel: the story is reconstructed, not extended.
Who is behind the rebuild
Series composition and direction arrangement fall to Matsuto Seya. Tadayoshi Yamamuro returns as animation character designer and general animation director — the same design hand Dragon Ball fans know from the film work. Norihito Sumitomo, the long-running Dragon Ball composer, is back on music, with Eichi Nishimura editing and Yōsuke Motoki as compositing director.
Where to watch
In Japan it airs on Fuji TV's nationwide network. A global streaming partner has not been confirmed yet — Toei announced the broadcast slot, not an international license. Historically the Dragon Ball Super TV run simulcast on Crunchyroll, so that is the platform to watch for an announcement, but treat it as an expectation, not a confirmed pickup. We list platforms honestly and neutrally: when the license lands, we will name every service carrying it, not just one.
How it ranks
Per SenpaiRanks's ranking board, the original Dragon Ball Super sits at a 7.45 consensus — solid, not top-tier, dragged by its slower early arcs. That is exactly the gap a reconstruction targets. Once Beerus airs, it earns its own dual-axis entry: a Consensus score for how broadly it lands and a Quality score for how well the remade cut holds up. Rate it yourself once it premieres to push your read onto the board — that is how the ranking gets built.
