Overview
- Toei's enhanced reconstruction will premiere in Japan on October 11, 2026 on Fuji TV with Prime Video Japan streaming 30 minutes later.
- Netflix confirmed a U.S. release starting October 17, 2026 with new episodes arriving weekly rather than in a single drop.
- Multiple outlets report Crunchyroll will stream episodes on October 11, 2026 the same day as Japan, which would give that service a six‑day lead over Netflix in some regions.
- Toei describes the project as a full reconstruction that re‑renders footage, adds new cuts, replaces dubbing and sound, and retells the Battle of Gods, Resurrection 'F' and Universe 6 arcs in about 19 episodes.
- The remake responds to long‑running criticism of the original early Dragon Ball Super episodes for cheap-looking animation and slow pacing, and its compressed run plus absence from Jump Festa 2027 leave the timing for further franchise announcements unclear.
