Fans can also catch the fastest streaming release on Prime Video and U-NEXT beginning at 12:15 AM, just 30 minutes after the television broadcast. Additional video streaming services will begin releasing new episodes every Thursday at 12:15 AM.

As the premiere approaches, a brand-new Super opening visual and the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Super Opening Trailer have been unveiled, featuring exciting new footage and a first look at the powerful forces set to shape the story.

Beerus, the God of Destruction, returns to Earth, while Frieza and a mysterious new threat stand in the way of Goku and his friends.

The newly released opening visual captures the intensity of the coming battle, featuring Beerus with a fearless smile as he sets his sights on Earth and Goku confronting an overwhelming presence. First revealed at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026, the visual also offers a glimpse of Frieza and a new threat targeting Earth, hinting at a dramatic expansion of the story.

The Super Opening Trailer takes the excitement even further.

Opening with a powerful Kamehameha, the trailer brings Goku and Beerus together as an unprecedented crisis begins to unfold. Frieza returns, while new enemies and mysterious characters emerge, each holding a potential key to the story. With intense battles, new threats, and powerful new footage, the trailer offers a glimpse into Goku’s continued evolution and the next great challenge facing Earth.

The trailer also marks the first reveal of the anime’s opening and ending theme songs.

Megatera Zero performs the opening theme song, “Onogami,” while Vickeblanka performs the ending theme song, “Kanpeki no Peki.” Both songs add a powerful new dimension to the series, with excerpts featured in the Super Opening Trailer.

Megatera Zero’s passionate vocals and exhilarating guitar-driven sound elevate the fierce clashes between Goku and Beerus, while Vickeblanka’s distinctive vocals and sophisticated melodies bring a fresh energy to the characters and their respective battles.

Opening Theme Song
Megatera Zero “Onogami”

Megatera Zero, a highly acclaimed singer-songwriter and vocalist, has built a massive online following with more than 1.6 million YouTube subscribers and over 1 billion total YouTube views. Known for powerful vocals and expressive performances, Megatera Zero has also contributed music to anime and television projects, including the second season of the TV anime Mononogatari and the TV Tokyo drama Black Postman.

Megatera Zero Comment:

“I created this song to express those who fight with only their own strength and those who fight believing in themselves. I wanted to portray not only Goku and his friends, but also the powerful enemies who have appeared throughout my years of watching Dragon Ball. I have been watching Dragon Ball since I was little, and it has had a huge influence on my life. I am truly happy to be part of this beloved work. Thank you!”

Ending Theme Song
Vickeblanka “Kanpeki no Peki”

Vickeblanka has captivated audiences with his distinctive voice, dynamic melodies, and genre-defying musical style. His music has achieved major success in Japan and overseas, with total streaming numbers exceeding 800 million. His work includes hit theme songs for television dramas and anime series, including Black Clover.

Vickeblanka has also completed international tours across North America, Central and South America, and Asia. Beginning in October, he will enter his 10th anniversary year, with major collaborations and projects planned.

Vickeblanka Comment:

“As a boy, I eagerly turned the pages of the manga and woke up early every week to watch the TV anime. Now, years later, I am truly honored to be involved as a musician. This is a precious song that brings together everything I had inside me, from the strength and courage that Dragon Ball has always depicted to the sadness and absurdity that have existed in its shadows.”

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is about to unleash a new super battle.

With Beerus, Frieza, Goku, and powerful new threats converging, the fate of Earth and the universe hangs in the balance. Featuring newly enhanced visuals, explosive battles, new characters, and brand-new music, this is a Dragon Ball experience fans will not want to miss.
