The video, titled “Infinite Future,” features dynamic animation of Toriyama’s original manga covers and illustrations, all set to a sweeping orchestral score by the legendary Hans Zimmer. It’s a literal love letter to 40 years of Goku’s journey.
Here is the breakdown of the major anime projects and gaming news announced at the event

- The Teaser: A key visual was revealed showing Goku and Vegeta in their sleek Galactic Patrol uniforms. While a release date wasn’t set, the “Set for Production” status means the wait for the Moro arc is almost over.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (Enhanced Edition)
Coming Fall 2026, this isn’t just a rerun. This is a “reconstructed” TV anime project focusing on the Battle of Gods saga.
- What’s New: It features improved animation, new cuts, and reshot scenes to align the power scaling more closely with modern lore.
- The Beerus Factor: During the stage event, Beerus’s voice actor teased that this version emphasizes that Beerus is still a massive “moving goalpost” in power, capable of defeating Goku in a blink. It will also incorporate light manga elements and new notes left by Akira Toriyama.
The Genkidamatsuri wasn’t just a celebration of the past; it was a clear signal that the future of Dragon Ball is as bright! Between the mysterious AGE 1000 project and the continued support for Sparking! ZERO, we’re going to be busy for a long time.
