Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Reworks Early Episodes and Goku’s Fight With Beerus
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is revisiting the franchise’s early anime episodes with updated visuals and new material.
The original Dragon Ball Super was the franchise’s first new anime in nearly 20 years, but its early episodes were criticized for rushed pacing and weak animation.
A production time crunch affected Goku’s first sparring match with Beerus, the God of Destruction, in the original series’ fifth episode.
The new project moves that material into its second episode and replaces some static shots with new animated sequences.
More than 40 early episodes are being condensed into 19, so the project is more than a visual touch-up.
It is currently running, and the first two episodes have begun reworking the early part of the series.
