The Dragon Ball Super: Beerus trailer opens with the God of Destruction, Beerus, in a long, deep sleep. Targeted by Beerus, the strongest being in the universe, Earth is in grave danger, forcing Goku and his allies to rise up and protect it. Where will this epic battle between Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus ultimately lead?
The trailer features not only Beerus and Goku, but also Vegeta, Whis, and the rest of Goku’s allies.
Here’s the official descrption for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus:
“Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is the ENHANCED edition of the TV anime Dragon Ball Super, for which Akira Toriyama created the original work, story, and character designs. The project features extensive new cuts, revisions to existing scenes, a complete re-rendering of all footage, newly recorded dubbing with added score and sound effects, and a full reconstruction of the story. Living up to the name ENHANCED, this edition employs the latest visual expression to deliver greater power and immersion across all scenes, especially the battle sequences. The result is an ENHANCED edition that expresses Akira Toriyama’s original ideas and worldbuilding more accurately and will be broadcast with a highly satisfying level of quality.”
