‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ Episode 2 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview
The second episode of ‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ is set to first air in Japan on October 18. That makes this a weekly release, with only a short gap after the premiere that drew fans back to the franchise. Viewers outside Japan have several streaming options, and the dates differ by platform.
This guide covers the confirmed release date, the airing and streaming times, the services carrying the series, and what the preview for the second episode suggests. The details on ‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ come from official announcements and recent episode guides, so a few regional timings may still shift.
Release Date and Schedule for the Second Episode
The second episode is titled The God of Destruction Heads to the Planet of the Kai. Episode guides agree that it lands on Sunday, October 18, one week after the opening installment. The first episode was titled The God Who Destroys.
The series follows a weekly cadence. It runs for 19 episodes, released weekly from October 11 through February 14 of next year. That is considerably shorter than the original 131 episode run of the first anime, which reflects the enhanced format.
The remake sits in a notable broadcast slot. It premiered on Fuji Television and its affiliates as the timeslot replacement for ‘One Piece’, which is set to go on hiatus until the following year. The third episode follows a week later on October 25.
Release Time in Japan and on Streaming Platforms
On Japanese television, the series airs at a quarter past eleven at night on Sundays on Fuji Television network channels. For the second episode that means the broadcast arrives late on October 18 in Japan. Japanese viewers can also catch it through Prime Video and U-Next.
The earliest streaming window opens quickly. Prime Video and U-Next begin streaming at a quarter past midnight, just 30 minutes after the broadcast ends. Other streaming platforms in Japan receive the same episodes on Thursdays.
For international viewers, exact local times depend on the service and time zone. One countdown tracker notes that the exact episode time has not been confirmed in its listing. The safest approach is to check the schedule inside your chosen streaming app.
Where to Watch the Series Online
Crunchyroll is the main international option. It began streaming the series worldwide on October 11, alongside Hulu in the United States. One schedule guide lists subtitled streaming on Crunchyroll across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Europe.
Netflix is the slower route. It began streaming in select regions on October 14 and in the United States on October 17. That puts American Netflix subscribers behind by a week, and they would wait until Saturday, October 24, to stream the second episode. A projected schedule backs this up, listing October 18 for Crunchyroll and October 24 for Netflix.
Language options are worth noting. When the release date was announced, English subtitles were confirmed for the day of the debut, while an English dub had not been announced. Viewers who prefer a dub may want to watch official channels for updates.
Preview of the Second Episode
The preview points to a familiar turning point in the story. Having pieced together prophetic dreams of a legendary Super Saiyan God, Beerus travels across space alongside Whis to visit the Other World. The second episode also shifts the focus toward Goku’s training under King Kai.
The teasers lean on tension. They show a frantic King Kai trying to conceal Goku from the temperamental destroyer, since any perceived disrespect could bring swift annihilation to his small celestial world. That setup suggests the episode builds dread before the inevitable meeting.
The remake also gives longtime fans reasons to watch closely. It is described as an enhanced version of the anime with improved animation and sound, redrawn cuts and a reconstructed narrative. The project was produced by Toei Animation to celebrate the studio’s 70th anniversary, so the second episode will show how much the reworked visuals change a scene many viewers already know. Do you think the redrawn King Kai planet sequence will hit harder than the original, or will the old version still win out for you?
