Dragon Ball Super: Beerus – Episode 2 could bring back these manga scenes

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Dragon Ball Super: Beerus – Episode 2 could bring back these manga scenes.

Episode 2 is just around the corner – and it's supposed to show what the new adaptation has in store

Episode 2 of "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus" is drawing closer, and the Spanish anime portal Areajugones is already looking ahead in a preview. The core takeaway: from the portal's perspective, the new anime is far more than just a fresh layer of animation over the 2015 series – it pursues a fundamentally different concept.

For you as a fan, that means: if you still remember Dragon Ball Super from 2015 and recall the filler episodes that were slotted in back then between the big fights, this is exactly what might now hit you – in a positive sense. Areajugones puts it this way: "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus trae a la mesa un planteamiento diferente del anime" – bringing a different approach to the table.

What Areajugones highlights about the new approach

Three points stand out in the preview. First: production is no longer under the time pressure that Toei Animation had to contend with in 2015. That pressure was precisely what had led to the filler episodes back then, which primarily served to "give a bit of breathing room" – literally: "todo el relleno que por aquel entonces daba un poco de aire a Toei Animation con la velocidad de la producción". That ballast, according to the report, now falls away.

Second, the material moves closer to the manga. Areajugones writes that the spinoff is "mucho más que un upgrade en la animación que vimos en 2015", in other words, far more than just an animation upgrade over the 2015 version. Third – and the Spanish portal flags this as the "most important" point, even though the teaser cuts off at this juncture – the story gets a new narrative framework.

What that means concretely for Episode 2

The headline announcement for Episode 2 makes the scope of expectations tangible: "El episodio 2 de 'Dragon Ball Super: Beerus' podría recuperar estas escenas del manga" – Episode 2 could bring back those scenes from the manga that were missing in the 2015 series. Areajugones, however, does not get specific at this point. Which manga chapters or which scenes exactly are meant remains open.

What you can take from this: Episode 2, in the portal's view, is not simply the next regular episode, but is meant to show how closely the new adaptation tells the manga's story. Air date, runtime, or the studios involved are not mentioned in the preview.

What is not yet evident from the sources

An important caveat: apart from Areajugones, no second report on Episode 2 of "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus" is available in the present research. Exactly which manga chapters will be adapted, who is producing the new adaptation, and when it airs cannot be substantiated from the available sources. As soon as further confirmed information becomes available, we will update this article.
