Dragon Ball Super: Beerus joins Netflix’s anime lineup

Instead of a straight remaster, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has been rebuilt from the ground up. Toei Animation says the project folds in newly added cuts and redrawn scenes, refreshed visuals, a newly recorded dub with additional music and sound effects, and a reworked storyline that reframes the early Super saga around Beerus and then continues into later arcs.

Story-wise, we’re a few years past Majin Buu’s defeat when Beerus — the God of Destruction — wakes from a long sleep, hears there’s a Saiyan who toppled Frieza, and heads to Earth looking for a fight. That chase sets up Goku’s transformation into Super Saiyan God and the showdown with Beerus, before the enhanced edition pushes ahead into the Resurrection F and Universe 6 arcs.

What’s new in this cut

• Newly added and redrawn footage
• Renewed visuals and updated sound design
• Newly recorded dubbing with additional score and effects
• A reconstructed narrative (not just a cleanup of the original episodes)
