5 Things Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Remake Has Improved From The Original

2 hours ago 9

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has only aired two episodes, and it already feels like the version of the story fans wanted back in 2015. Toei Animation announced the remake in January as an “enhanced” edition of the original series, and Episodes 1 and 2 aired on October 11 and 18, 2026.

The redrawn art is the big talking point, but it’s far from the only one. The pacing is tighter, a manga scene finally makes it on screen, and even a throwaway fight got a fresh look. Here are five things the remake does better than the original.

1 The Infamous Goku vs. Beerus Fight Finally Looks Like a Fight

Everybody knows this fight. Episode 5 of the 2015 anime gave fans some infamous frames, and the clips have been memes for over a decade. In Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 2, the same showdown on King Kai’s planet has been redrawn, and it shows. Goku’s face, hair, and hands got fresh frames, and they look a lot better. Beerus carries himself differently too, which sells how far above Goku he is. Goku still cycles through three Super Saiyan forms, and Beerus still dodges it all. A few odd frames slipped through, but nothing like the old mess.

2 A Super Saiyan 3 Transformation That Actually Takes Its Time

Super Saiyan 3 (one of the best-designed Super Saiyan forms in Dragon Ball) is Goku’s loudest power-up, and the 2015 anime barely gave it room. Goku goes from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan 3 in about 20 seconds, and most of that is him screaming. The remake stretches the charge-up to almost a full minute. The heavens shake, lightning crashes down on Snake Way, and the whole thing finally feels like the big moment it should be. Those shots are new additions. Then Beerus shrugs it off, and that stings a lot more after watching Goku put in so much effort.

3 Goku and Beerus Square Off by Episode 2 Instead of Episode 5

The 2015 anime took its sweet time. Episode 1 had Goku working the farm while Goten and Trunks hunted for a wedding gift for Videl, and the Beerus fight didn’t start until Episode 5. The remake doesn’t wait around. Episode 1 ends where the old Episode 2 did, and the gift hunt is gone. By Episode 2, Goku is already on King Kai’s planet facing the God of Destruction. That’s three episodes sooner, with the main event still intact. Anyone who bounced off the slow start back then has a lot less to sit through now.

4 A Manga-Only Training Scene That the 2015 Anime Never Adapted

The first chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga has Goku turn Super Saiyan on the farm and imagine fights against Frieza, Cell, and Kid Buu. The 2015 anime never adapted that scene. The remake puts it in Episode 1. It’s a small addition, but it shows what’s on Goku’s mind during peacetime, and it’s very much him. Everyone else is enjoying the quiet while he’s thinking about his next fight. In the manga, he even says he trains in case someone as strong as Buu shows up again. Beerus turns up soon enough.

5 Even a Quick Beerus Brawl on Planet Mogina Gets Redesigned

The big fights aren’t the only thing that got attention. In Episode 1, Whis travels to the prehistoric planet Mogina to find dinosaur meat for Beerus, and Beerus ends up in a short duel with the Moginaian chief. The original anime kept that scene, and the remake redid it. Moginaians no longer have a second set of eyes and arms, and the chief fires a mouth energy wave where the old version used fire breath. The fight looks different too. Nobody asked for this scene to be touched, so it’s nice to see the small stuff get love.
