The upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Beerus anime has received a new look in the form of a “SUPER GEKITOU” trailer. While the focus is on Goku’s battle with the God of Destruction Beerus, the final moments of the trailer teases Frieza’s resurrection.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus was announced in January as an “ENHANCED edition of the anime Dragon Ball Super.” It’s intended to be a “more faithful and detailed reproduction of the original work by Akira Toriyama” and will come with “extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-rendering of all footage, newly recorded dubbing with added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story.”
The current focus of the promotional material, the God of Destruction Beerus Saga, originated from the 2013 anime film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. The plotline was used for the first arc of the original Dragon Ball Super TV anime, which aired from 2015 to 2018 and had story and character design drafts from the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball Super: Beerus‘ credits lack the “draft” part). A Shueisha-published Dragon Ball Super manga, written by Toriyama and drawn by Toyotarou, debuted in 2015 in V Jump and has 24 volumes as of 2025.
Crunchyroll describes Dragon Ball Super‘s synopsis as such:
After 18 years, we have the newest Dragon Ball story from creator Akira Toriyama. With Majin Buu defeated, Goku has taken a completely new role as…a radish farmer?! With Earth at peace, our heroes have settled into normal lives. But they can’t get too comfortable. Far away, the powerful God of Destruction, Beerus, awakens to a prophecy revealing his demise at the hands of an even more formidable being. When his search for the Saiyan God brings him to Earth, can Goku and his friends take on their strongest foe yet?
The Dragon Ball Super series includes two anime movies, 2018’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly and 2022’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. A new Dragon Ball Super anime subtitled THE GALACTIC PATROL is on the way.
The original Dragon Ball manga began in 1984.
