As a Dragon Ball fan there is something special about seeing Beerus return cause he is not your usual villain who screams about destroying the planet every five minutes. He can be calm, funny, terrifying and ridiculously powerful and sometimes all in the same scene. His introduction to the series changed the scale of Dragon Ball and now Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is giving that story another shot and with the new edition premiered on October 11 2026 with revised scenes, newly animated cuts, updated sound and a restructured story and after watching the episode there is plenty to be excited about.
For longtime fans Dragon Ball Super: Beerus looks like a promising reason to revisit the beginning of Super. For newcomers the restructured story could provide a more streamlined entry point. However with only the opening episodes covered by these early reactions it is still too soon to call this a complete success.
Beerus remains one of the best additions to the Dragon Ball universe and watching his arrival shake up Goku's world is still an exciting prospect. Now the real challenge is making this familiar story feel worth experiencing all over again.
Senpai Score
8/10 - A Promising Return
The improved visuals and tighter pacing have made a strong first impression but the missing character moments could be a downside. If the series keeps the balance between action, humour, and heart, this could become the version many fans wanted from the start.
For long time fans story may be familiar but watching Goku challenge a God of Destruction never really gets old.
