Beerus just premiered in Japan and they didn't even re-record the dialogue

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, the "enhanced" remaster of the first three arcs of the original 2015 Super series, dropped its first episode on Fuji TV in Japan on Oct. 11 at 11:15 PM, titled "The God Who Destroys." It covers roughly the first two episodes of the original show but slides in new material straight from Toyotarō's manga — including a scene of Goku doing image training against Freeza and Cell that was never in the 2015 anime.

Here's the wild part: almost none of the dialogue got re-recorded. Beerus voice actor Koichi Yamadera said in an interview that the team is reusing the original recordings to build the new cut: "They're taking what we recorded back then and building something new out of it — it felt like a stroke of luck." That reuse reportedly even stretches to Jōji Yanami's performance as Kaiō, despite Yanami's health issues having forced Oolong's voice actor to take over the role since, per Kanzenshuu.
