Dragon Ball Super: Beerus
This is a fully enhanced remake of the original Dragon Ball Super anime, reworking the God of Destruction Beerus, Golden Frieza, and Universe 6 arcs with redrawn animation and a reconstructed story — now streaming weekly on Netflix (from Oct 17) and Hulu (from Oct 11) in the US. The action is high-energy and near-constant, with fantasy battles, planet-level destruction threats, character deaths (non-graphic), and intimidating villains that will likely feel intense for younger viewers.
Best enjoyed by kids around 10 and up who are already comfortable with action-heavy anime; younger Dragon Ball fans (7–9) may find the battle intensity and themes of planetary destruction anxiety-inducing.
Episodes to know about
The series opens with Beerus immediately waking and destroying planets, establishing him as an all-powerful and frightening threat with no warm-up; his imposing design and casual cruelty are introduced at full force.
From the very first episode, the show establishes that Beerus has the power to destroy Earth on a whim, setting a tone of existential threat that persists through the whole Beerus arc.
The showdown between Goku (as Super Saiyan God) and Beerus is the arc's major battle, featuring sustained high-energy combat, large-scale destruction, and intense screaming power-ups across multiple episodes.
