Netflix Anime has announced that the upcoming remake of the Dragon Ball Super anime, titled "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus," will be available on its platform internationally. While a specific release date has not yet been confirmed, the announcement indicated that the anime is slated for an October release.
The remake is scheduled to premiere in Japan on October 11, airing on Fuji TV and Prime Video Japan. Details regarding its international streaming availability were previously unclear, with no official word from platforms like Crunchyroll, which broadcast the original series. However, the confirmation of Netflix as a global streaming partner offers a significant clue for international fans.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will retell the initial story arcs of the Dragon Ball Super anime, drawing from the first three arcs of the series and its initial two films. Set four years after the defeat of Majin Buu, the story continues during the 10-year time skip depicted in the original Dragon Ball Z anime's finale. The narrative follows Goku and his allies as they confront new and powerful threats, beginning with the God of Destruction, Beerus, promising further training and power increases for the characters.
Recent reports suggest that "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus" will comprise a total of 19 episodes. The anime is set for an early international debut at New York Comic Con on October 8. Further information is expected to be revealed during this event. While Netflix is confirmed for some regions, including the United States, the exact nature of its streaming schedule—whether episodes will be released concurrently with Japan or with a delay—remains to be seen. The lack of comprehensive details on the anime's international distribution is a point of concern for fans, though it is anticipated that more clarity will emerge soon.
