Much to the delight of Dragon Ball fans around the world, the Super anime will be continuing the Moro arc, as confirmed back in January at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri 40th Anniversary Celebration Event in Japan.

But before Super's anime continuation begins, the Super anime will be receiving a Dragon Ball Z Kai-like remake that kicks off this fall in October.

It seems only the first three arcs of Dragon Ball Super will be receiving this DBZ Kai-esque upscaling. 

There's the God of Destruction Beerus arc, which consisted of 14 episodes, the Golden Frieza arc, which lasted 13 episodes, and lastly, the Champa or Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 arc, which consisted of 19 episodes.

It's the last arc that's at the center of recent rumors from leading Dragon Ball YouTuber Geekdom 101, who says that the Champa arc will have significant changes.

According to Geekdom, the Beerus arc in the upcoming remake will be cut down from 14 to 6 episodes, while the Golden Frieza arc will be shortened from 13 to 6 or 7 episodes. The Universe 6 vs Universe 7 arc will be condensed all the way down to 7 episodes.

That means the Dragon Ball Super anime remake will consist of about 19/20 episodes, with the prevailing thought being that the Moro arc will then quickly follow. It's assumed that the Goku Black and Tournament of Power arcs will not be remade, at least not before the Moro arc begins.

With the fall 2026 anime season starting in October, that means the Dragon Ball Super anime remake should conclude just before the Spring 2027 anime season kicks off in April. 

The question on everyone's mind now is whether The Galactic Patrol aka Moro arc will begin in April or if the production team will take one or more cours/seasons off before the highly anticipated Super anime continuation begins.

Speaking back in April at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026 event in Los Angeles, Dragon Ball executive producer Akio Iyoku explained the decision to remake the Beerus arc from the Dragon Ball Super anime, stating the goal is to, "express the world of Dragon Ball Super- Toriyama-sensei's creation, with more precision and accuracy. It's only been 10 years since 2015, but visual expression continues to evolve every day, and implementing those techniques was one of the goals of this production.  Specifically, we added extensive new cuts, improved the art quality, re-rendered all cuts, and fully re-constructed the story."
