Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Part 1 makes six major changes to the original story.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1 speeds up the Beerus arc, adding Goku's manga-only training scenes and cutting out filler quests while modifying key visuals.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1၂၀၁၅ rebuilds the saga with a more fast-paced story and new manga scenes.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1, "The God Who Destroys", has finally arrived, and made major changes over the original[18] version beyond an JUST episode. This remake covers Goku's first encounter in a single episode; the original required two, and combines television upgrades with filler side quests and cutting new scenes derived from manga.
Episode pacing moves directly to Beerus.
Most of the changes are visual enhancements required by the original, but it also alters what the story chooses to show. The remake cuts out many filler side quests from the first two episodes and goes into mainstream with new scenes of its own.
Image Training is the only sequel to Goku for the manga.
Goku is seen fighting Frieza, Cell and Buu during an image exercise. These items come from Toyota's Dragon Ball Super manga, including a series linked to Chapter 1 and V-Jump,[5] which was not shown at all in the anime.
For many years, one of the most important issues discussed by Toei and Capsule Corp Tokyo since the series' announcement was its connection to a "more faithful" manga. Fans remain uncertain whether this is Toriyama's personal fantasy or Toyotarou's allegiance to Dragon Ball Super-Manga.
The mission of Goten's wedding gift was lost.
A good portion of the first series of Dragon Ball Super2015 was spent by Goten trying to find a wedding present for his new cousin Videl.
In Act I, Goten's only role is to convince his father to accept Hercules' financial gift so that Gogue can continue training on King Kai's planet. A more rigorous focus eliminates any unnecessary distractions and centers upon the upcoming meeting with Beerus.
The Moginaian warrior design made Beerus stronger.
Although the extra filler was cut, most of the scenes featuring Beerus himself were retained to build up God of Destruction's personality. Among them, the remake continued Beerus' brief battles with an unnamed savage hero on the planet Mogina.
Whis traveled to Mogina in search of dinosaur meat for Beerus, but the Moginaian warlord who killed the dinosaur was unwilling to offer his dish even to the god of destruction himself.
There are also more extensive character design changes for the entire Mogina species. Instead of two pairs of eyes and four arms, the alien Mogina tribe now has designs that closely resemble human form. The Moginaian warrior chief features a red aura whose attacks are even more destructive than the original's, making it easier to defeat Beerus' own forces.
Vegeta's family trip was cut short, but the training continued.
Vegeta's lovely family trip was an exception -- the removed record included part of her life on a train ride with Bulma and Trunks, a serene contrast to Beerus' larger threat.
It's hard to miss those moments, but it helps push the whole story forward at a faster pace. Vegeta never fails; her high-gravity training scenes keep popping up in our recreation and allowing seeds of her own growth to emerge from the rest of the piece.
Beerus' vision pointed to Goku instead of Yamoshi.
In the original version, Beerus appears in the form of a mysterious Super Saiyan with hair similar to Vegeta's. The anime did not specifically mention him, but for many years it was assumed that this person is none other than Yamoshi, the first super Saiyan god.
It is clear that the image Beerus sees in the remake is Goku's version of Super Saiyan God. We do not know if Dragon Ball Super: Beerus was making a further adaptation to make Yamoshi completely non-existent or to align the story more closely with Toyotarou's manga.
The opening and ending schemes received mixed reactions.
With each new Dragon Ball series comes a novel opening and ending scene, and Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is no exception.
The new opening sequence featuring the song Onogami by MEGATERA·ZERO was generally well received. Fans praised the setting for its high energy cuts and unique collage-like beauty, making it feel like a fan-made music video.
While most fans enjoyed VK Blanka's Kan Peki no Peki soundtrack, the extremely bland visuals were endlessly seductive. The only saving grace of the episode was showing preview footage from the upcoming series and giving audiences a reason to tolerate the boring computer-generated image of Shenron flying aimlessly.
What does part one indicate for the next?
For fans, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 1 clarifies the priorities of the remake - squeeze in on the pace of the original,[5] retain scenes that establish Beerus and draw elements from Toyotarou's manga. The changes may be more broadly focused on the God of Destruction Saga but also leave a new question mark for future series.
