The story
The “Enhanced Version” of Dragon Ball Super — rebuilt from the late Akira Toriyama’s original story with new cuts and a complete re-shoot — titled “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus,” begins airing on the Fuji TV network in the late-night slot starting October 11. Megatera Zero will perform the opening theme, and Vickeblanka the ending theme. Reactions on 5ch were split: some praised the late-night broadcast slot, while others voiced complaints like “it’s just a rehash of the same story” and “they should remake it faithful to the manga,” with plenty of comments also touching on voice-actor turnover and succession concerns.

It has been revealed that “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus,” a TV anime in the “Dragon Ball” series based on the late Akira Toriyama’s popular manga, will air on the Fuji TV network on October 11 at 11:15 PM. Thirty minutes after the broadcast ends, it will stream first on Prime Video and U-NEXT. “Dragon Ball Super: Beerus” is an “Enhanced Version” of “Dragon Ball Super.” “Enhanced” means “to elevate, strengthen, or improve.” The series adds a large number of new cuts, redraws existing ones, re-shoots every single cut, and reconstructs the story with new dubbing, including added score and sound effects.
A key visual for Super’s opening has been released, showing the God of Destruction Beerus flashing a fearless smile as he sets his sights on taking over Earth, alongside Son Goku and Frieza. The opening trailer, built entirely from newly created footage, features Goku and Beerus along with Frieza, formidable new adversaries, and characters who hold the key to the story. It was also announced that singer-songwriter Megatera Zero will perform the opening theme “Onogami,” while singer-songwriter Vickeblanka will perform the ending theme “Kanpeki no Peki.”

What people said
I think the childhood arc is more fun, but maybe it's not popular because there's no fighting?
I want to see the training under Master Roshi and the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament again.
Buy a ton of the manga to show your support.
The part when it was still an adventure manga, up through defeating King Piccolo, is the most fun. The Red Ribbon Army arc especially is excellent. I wish they'd remake it and just retcon the Saiyan arc out of existence.
Even so, that's a step too far.
Toriyama was heavily involved with DAIMA though.
They're not changing the story though.
I think opinions differ depending on whether you watched it live from the start or discovered it later. Dragon Ball originally started as a gag-filled adventure manga, and people who watched it in real time enjoyed it as such — but for people who started around the Saiyan arc onward, Dragon Ball is seen as a battle manga, so there's less room for them to accept the adventure/comedy side.
Overseas fans only really like DBZ (starting from the Saiyan arc onward).
DAIMA is the one that retconned it away.
After the original manga ends, it branches into three:
Original → Super
Original → GT
Original → DAIMA
So we get to see "Fun Bingo!" again?
That impersonator's had throat problems for a while now, so they probably won't.
Background and Key Points of This Story
The “Enhanced Version” isn’t a new story arc — it reconstructs the existing “Dragon Ball Super” by adding new cuts, re-shooting every cut, and redoing the sound, while the story itself remains unchanged. Akira Toriyama passed away suddenly in 2024, and the unease over new material continuing without the original creator is reflected in thread comments like “they should remake it faithful to the source material” and “it’s basically like fan-made content.” Also, without knowing the backstory of how the titles branched into “Z,” “Super,” “GT,” and “DAIMA,” a breakdown like comment #63 can be hard to follow. Note that the voice-actor turnover isn’t something stated in the article itself — it remains pure speculation within the thread.
