Toei Unveils Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Remake Trailer, Teasing Frieza’s Return

Producers say it rebuilds the arc with new cuts, full re-rendering, a tighter story that better matches Toriyama’s vision.

Overview

  • At Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 in Los Angeles over the weekend, Toei premiered a “Super Gekitou” trailer for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus that closes with a brief shot of Frieza in a medical tank.
  • Executive producer Akio Iyoku, in a recorded message, confirmed extensive new cuts, improved art, a full re-render of every shot, and a reconstructed story to present Beerus’s power with modern techniques.
  • The Frieza tease suggests the remake could fold in events from Resurrection ‘F’, though producers have not formally confirmed the scope beyond the Beerus storyline.
  • The series is targeting a Fall 2026 launch in Japan with no exact date yet, and Toei has not announced international release plans or a final episode count.
  • The project is framed as correcting 2015’s uneven TV run, which drew criticism for off-model designs, thin detail, and stiff fights, and as preparation for future arcs like the Galactic Patrol Prisoner story.
