The prologue is officially over as Dragon Ball Super: Beerus begins in earnest. Goku has finally become a literal God and is ready to do battle with the most powerful opponent he’s ever fought: the God of Destruction, Beerus. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 is going to be action-packed from top to bottom, remaking one of the greatest battles Akira Toriyama has ever written. The best part? Super Saiyan God Goku VS Beerus is only the tip of the iceberg.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is going to get crazier from here on out, as Goku and Vegeta break their limits, unlock new God forms, and battle the strongest warriors across the multiverse. Before the series starts changing the status quo forever, however, Goku and Beerus’ battle is going to shake the entire universe in Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5.
When Does Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 Come Out?
Goku has become a God, the fate of the universe is at stake, and the greatest battle in Dragon Ball history is about to begin. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll with English subtitles on October 25, 2026 at 7:15 AM PT / 10:15 AM ET. New episodes of the remake will also be available to stream on Hulu the same day and time. Netflix subscribers will have to wait six days until Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 premieres on the streaming platform, however.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 is expected to adapt Super Saiyan God Goku VS Beerus, one of the best fights in the series on a pure choreography level. Both Battle of Gods and the original Dragon Ball Super anime suffered from shoddy animation at certain moments (especially the movie), which is something DBS: Beerus is sure to fix. Considering how slowly paced Episode 4 was, there’s a chance that Episode 5 will only be Goku’s fight, with Episode 6 adapting the end of the Beerus Saga.
Considering Beerus has already used 10% of his Power Level against Vegeta, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will need to make some changes to the series’ power scaling. The remake is based on Akira Toriyama’s original outline, which placed Beerus at roughly 70% of Super Saiyan God Goku’s full power. It’s possible that DBS: Beerus will be keeping the power scaling more in line with Toyotarou’s manga, where the power gap from arc to arc isn’t nearly as massive as in the Dragon Ball Super anime.
It’s not until the Dragon Ball Super 2 sagas that Goku and Vegeta’s Power Levels start getting out of control, which would honestly track with the remaining 30% of Beerus’ power. If Super Saiyan God is 70% of Beerus’ strength, then Super Saiyan Blue is realistically 75%, Ultra Instinct Sign is close to 80%, and Perfected Ultra Instinct is anywhere from 85% to 90% depending on Goku’s mastery. With that in mind, Beerus using 10% of his power against Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta in Episode 3 actually makes perfect sense.
