Dragon Ball’s continuity puzzle is back, and another version of Goku versus Beerus has not made it easier to solve. According to ComicBook Anime, the ongoing Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remake retains details from the original television series that do not neatly accommodate Dragon Ball Daima.
The sticking points involve two very different things: who is still fused, and which transformations Goku can use. Neither gets the reconciliation viewers might have expected from a revised edition of Super.
However, there is an important distinction here: an unresolved contradiction is not an official announcement that Daima has been removed from canon. The source describes continuity problems, rather than reporting a formal decision to discard the series.
What the Beerus remake is revisiting
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus returns to the beginning of the original Super television anime. The source describes it as an enhanced edition featuring additional cuts, updated visual effects and reworked footage.
That approach created an opportunity to connect the older story with material introduced later in Daima. So far, ComicBook Anime reports that the remake has largely preserved how the original events unfolded instead of making substantial continuity changes.
That matters because Daima occupies a particularly awkward spot: after the Majin Buu conflict, but before Battle of Gods. Its additions therefore sit directly ahead of the story the Beerus remake is telling.
Two details are causing the headache
First, there is Supreme Kai and Kibito.
In Daima, the pair have already separated following their Potara fusion, allowing Supreme Kai to join Goku’s Demon Realm adventure. Yet ComicBook Anime reports that the opening episodes of Beerus bring back their fused identity, Kibitokai, without resolving that mismatch.
The second issue is Goku’s power ceiling. Daima introduced Super Saiyan 4 Goku into Toriyama’s continuity, alongside Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta. Its ending also suggested that Goku could access his new transformation again.
But in the remake’s updated confrontation with Beerus, the source says Goku still tops out at Super Saiyan 3. There is no reported acknowledgement of Super Saiyan 4 during that encounter.
Analysis: Not using a transformation does not, by itself, prove that it no longer exists. Still, leaving it unmentioned makes the connection between these stories harder to follow—particularly when the newer adventure takes place earlier in the timeline.
Why Daima is more than a continuity footnote
Daima was Akira Toriyama’s final project, with story material, character designs and concepts contributed by the creator himself. That involvement is central to the source’s argument that its additions deserve meaningful recognition within the wider series.
The concern is not simply whether one form is stronger than another. It is whether a remake can account for a major intervening story rather than reproduce the same gaps with refreshed visuals.
What Malaysia and SEA viewers should take away
Analysis: For readers in Malaysia and across SEA deciding how these entries fit together, the useful takeaway is about viewing expectations, not a newly confirmed watch order. Do not assume that Beerus functions as a fully reconciled bridge between Daima and Super.
Based on the source’s account, it is revisiting familiar events without yet explaining those differences. You can recognise the contradictions without jumping to the bigger claim that Toriyama’s final adventure has officially been erased.
For now, the missing piece is an explanation—not another power-scaling argument.
