Dragon Ball Super: Beerus premieres in Japan on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 11:15 p.m. JST. The new Super Surge trailer shows Goku’s renewed battle with Beerus, Frieza and newly revealed enemies while previewing the opening and ending themes. This is an enhanced reconstruction of the opening Dragon Ball Super story—not the separate Galactic Patrol continuation—and no international streaming platform has been announced yet.

What does the new Dragon Ball Super: Beerus trailer show?
The Super Surge trailer opens with a Kamehameha and rapidly expands the familiar Beerus conflict into a sharper, more densely staged version of the story. Goku fights the God of Destruction in midair, Vegeta powers up, Whis watches the confrontation, and Bulma and Jaco appear as the threat moves closer to Earth.
The final stretch widens the danger beyond Beerus. Frieza returns in the footage, while armored enemies and soldiers appear beneath a strong purple glow. The official release describes them as new threats targeting Earth, but it does not name them or explain how their material fits into the reconstructed narrative. Treating them as confirmed characters with known identities would go beyond what Toei has announced.
What does “enhanced edition” mean?
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is not simply the original television episodes placed back on the schedule. The production says it contains extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-render of the footage, newly recorded dubbing, added music and sound effects, and a reconstructed version of the story. The goal is a more detailed presentation of Akira Toriyama’s ideas and worldbuilding, particularly during the battles.
That description places the project closer to a substantial rebuild than a conventional remaster. A remaster usually improves the presentation of existing material; Beerus also changes the edit, artwork, performance track and story construction. The official material still calls it an enhanced edition rather than a wholly separate continuity, so viewers should expect recognizable events presented with meaningful new work.
When does Dragon Ball Super: Beerus come out?
The first episode premieres in Japan on Sunday, October 11, at 11:15 p.m. JST. The Japanese site identifies Fuji TV as the broadcaster. The current English announcements say broadcasting and streaming begin in October, but they do not provide a worldwide service list or a synchronized international release time.
That means the Japanese premiere is confirmed, while a Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix or other global platform remains unconfirmed. The wording “broadcasting and streaming begins” does not identify which service will carry the series in each country. This page will need a direct update when an international distributor publishes its own schedule.

What are the new opening and ending songs?
The opening is “ONOGAMI” by MEGATERA・ZERO. The trailer uses its forceful vocals and guitar-driven sound over Goku and Beerus’s renewed clash. The ending is “Kan Peki No Peki” by VK Blanka, whose lighter vocal passage plays over scenes of the supporting cast facing their own battles.
Both tracks are heard in the Super Surge trailer, making this the first official preview of the new theme music. The announcement does not list standalone release dates for either song, so October 11 is the anime premiere date rather than a confirmed music-launch date.
Who is returning in the Japanese cast?
- Son Goku: Masako Nozawa.
- Beerus: Koichi Yamadera.
Nozawa and Yamadera appeared at the project’s January announcement and are the two lead performers formally billed in the current materials. Matsuto Seya handles composition and direction arrangement, Tadayoshi Yamamuro is animation character designer and general animation director, Eichi Nishimura edits, Yosuke Motoki is compositing director, and Norihito Sumitomo composes the score. Akira Toriyama is credited for original work, story and character design.
Can fans watch the first episode early at New York Comic Con?
Yes, but only at the announced convention panel. The Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Special Panel is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, from noon to 12:45 p.m. local time on the Empire Stage at New York’s Javits Center. The program includes a world-premiere advance screening of episode one, three days before the Japanese television premiere.
Jason Douglas, the English voice of Beerus, and Ian Sinclair, the English voice of Whis, are the listed guests. Monica Rial, the English voice of Bulma, hosts. The event announcement does not say that the screening will be streamed online, so the panel should not be treated as a general digital release.

3 screenshotsIs Dragon Ball Super: Beerus the same as The Galactic Patrol?
No. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus rebuilds the opening part of the television anime around Beerus’s arrival and battle with Goku. Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is a separate new anime project that continues after the Universe Survival Arc and adapts the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc from the manga.
The distinction matters because the Super Surge trailer contains new footage and newly introduced enemies, but “new” does not automatically mean the series has jumped ahead to the Galactic Patrol storyline. The official Dragon Ball announcement presents Beerus and The Galactic Patrol as two different developments.
