Enhanced Battle of Gods with Toriyama's original vision is perfect—revisiting the story with late Akira Toriyama's original drafts ensures authentic storytelling. Making Beerus more powerful sounds promising; strengthening the God of Destruction as both enemy and character adds depth. Two new Dragon Ball series in one year is incredible—getting both The Galactic Patrol and Beerus in 2026 shows the franchise's continued vitality. Going back to original drafts shows respect for Toriyama; honoring his vision by being more faithful to his initial ideas pays tribute to his legacy.

Hot off the heels of the announcement of a brand new Dragon Ball Super anime, another anime series was announced at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event today, an "enhanced" remake of Battle of Gods titled Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. A "SUPER launch trailer" was released alongside a visual and airing window of Fall 2026.

Enhanced Remake Details

Executive Producer Akio Iyoku explained that they went back to Akira Toriyama's original drafts for the story, and the team decided to be more faithful to Toriyama's original ideas. One of those elements was making Beerus a more powerful enemy and a more compelling character.

The team at Toei has "added new cuts of animation, improved the quality of the drawings, and reshot all the cuts" for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, according to the executive on stage.

Production Credits

Like The Galactic Patrol, late Akira Toriyama is credited with the original work, story and character design for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, with Toei Animation producing the series as they did for the original Battle of Gods film and first Dragon Ball Super series.
