Toei has officially launched a remake of Dragon Ball Super titled Beerus. This new iteration aims to improve upon the narrative pacing and overall quality of the previous continuation of Dragon Ball Z, receiving a generally positive reception from the fanbase following its debut episode.
Despite the positive fan reaction, Kazuhiko Torishima, a former Shonen Jump editor and key figure in the franchise's history alongside Akira Toriyama, expressed his disapproval. Torishima shared his thoughts via his personal Twitter account after viewing the premiere.
Torishima remarked that he was in a bad mood after watching the first episode, comparing his state to the character Beerus. While his comments surprised some Japanese viewers, those familiar with his history note that he frequently critiques new entries in the series despite his foundational role in the franchise's success.
Public response remains mixed, with some fans expressing shock at his cold reception. However, many acknowledge his long-standing reputation as a harsh critic, while still regarding him as a dedicated supporter of the work alongside Toriyama.
