DragonBall Super’s Anime Remake Plans Revealed: What to Expect from Beerus to Moro
New scenes, manga accuracy, and legendary animators—here’s everything we know so far about the DBS anime revamp and the long-awaited Moro arc adaptation.
If you’ve been holding your breath waiting for Dragon Ball Super to make its anime return, 2026 is finally delivering the goods—and it looks like it’s more than just a rehash. Thanks to insights from well-known insiders like @EmperorBigDand @AnimeAjay, we now have a clearer picture of Toei Animation’s current plan: a multi-phase anime remake that includes newly animated versions of older arcs, faithful manga integration, and original content for the Moro arc and beyond.
Whether you’re a manga reader, anime-only fan, or somewhere in-between, here’s everything we know so far—and what it means for the future of Dragon Ball Super.
The Purpose of the Remake: Quality, Consistency, and Canon
According to these sources, the goal of this anime remake is to clean up and re-present the early arcs of Dragon Ball Super in a way that’s truer to Akira Toriyama’s original vision, while also setting the stage for future post-anime arcsto be animated properly. Key points include:
Cutting filler and removing redundant material that slowed down the original pacing
Adding new scenes (both original and adapted from the manga) to enrich the narrative
Using Toriyama’s original outlines more faithfully, especially for arcs like the Future Trunks and Champa sagas
High-quality animation with talent like Ryo Onishi, Yuya Takahashi, and Takeo Ide joining the team (not just Tadayoshi Yamamuro)
This isn’t a simple re-release—it’s a full reimagining and improvement.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Arc – 6 Episodes
This reanimated version of the Battle of Gods story will reportedly consist of 6 episodes, acting as a condensed and refined retelling rather than a scene-by-scene redo of the 2015 episodes.
All filler is gone
Animation and direction will be completely new
Expect an experience closer to the movie version, but with slightly extended scenes to flesh out character dynamics
Golden Frieza Arc – 6–7 Episodes
Like the Beerus saga, this arc will be closer to the film version (Resurrection ‘F’) but enhanced with polish and pacing improvements.
No unnecessary subplots (e.g. Ginyu Tagoma body-switching scenes will likely be cut)
Faster pacing to match the theatrical storytelling
Clean choreography and new visual sequences expected
🌀 Universe 6 / Champa Arc – 10–12 Episodes
This is where it gets interesting. The Champa tournament arc will reportedly combine elements from the manga, which was quite different in tone and pacing, and anime-exclusive moments.
Manga content is finally getting screen time
Filler will be removed
Expect tightened character fights, possibly with revised matchups and better scaling
This could be the most balanced version of the tournament, merging the comedy of the anime with the logic of the manga.
Future Trunks Arc – Under 18 Episodes
The Goku Black / Zamasu arc will be getting a major overhaul. While there’s no official episode count yet, it’s expected to be less than 18 episodes and will lean heavily into the manga version of events.
More faithful to the manga (e.g. Goku Black’s power scaling and growth through Zenkai boosts)
No spirit bomb sword moment—unless it’s reinterpreted
Several new scenes will be added, including moments not seen in either version
The arc is reportedly still being rewritten, so we may see adjustments to how Fused Zamasu is handled
This is one of the arcs that needed the most narrative tightening, so fans should keep a close eye on this one.
Moro Arc – Anime Debut in Production
For the first time ever, the Moro arc (Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga) is coming to animation. While it’s still early in production and no episode count is confirmed yet, insiders say:
There will be brand new scenes not present in the manga
Toriyama’s notes and vision are playing a key role in the adaptation
The arc will debut after the remakes are complete, likely as a standalone series continuation
Goku’s relationship with Merus and Vegeta’s training on Yardrat will both receive expanded development
The fight choreography will blend manga canon with original anime moments
This is a massive deal for manga readers—and a long overdue continuation for anime-only fans who’ve been stuck post-Tournament of Power.
🛑 What’s NOT Happening (Yet)
Despite all the hype, a few things haven’t been confirmed:
There is no mention of the Universe Survival arc (Tournament of Power) being remade yet. That could be saved for later, or possibly refined and reanimated after the other arcs.
The Black Frieza arc and Granolah saga are still off the production radar for now.
The remake series does not yet have a public premiere date beyond “Fall 2026.”
Final Thoughts: Dragon Ball’s Rebirth Is a Careful One
What excites me most about all of this isn’t just the remakes—it’s the intention behind them. Cutting filler, correcting inconsistencies, using the manga as a guide, and involving legendary animators shows me that Toei is finally treating Dragon Ball Super with the narrative respect it deserves.
This isn’t just about power levels and transformations anymore. It’s about honoring character arcs, maintaining Toriyama’s storytelling DNA, and setting up the future of the franchise with cleaner footing.
And if the Moro arc is truly being animated with new scenes and manga-plus content? We might be entering a new golden age.
I'm always excited about anything dragon Ball I can't wait until all of this drops I'm going to be tuned in they are doing toriyama's legacy proud and I'm happy to be here for it this is one for the history books
