Oct. 8, 2026 (New York) - Today, the "Dragon Ball Super: Beerus SPECIAL PANEL" was held at New York Comic Con 2026, currently underway at the Javits Center in New York, where a crowd of 3,000 fans filled the hall for the world premiere screening of Episode 1 of the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Beerus. Before the screening, Dragon Ball Super English dub voice actors Mr. Jason Douglas (Beerus) and Mr. Ian Sinclair (Whis), together with Ms. Monica Rial (Bulma) as MC, took to the stage to talk about the appeal and highlights of the series and were joined by comments from Ms. Masako Nozawa, the voice of Son Goku, and Mr. Koichi Yamadera, the voice of the God of Destruction Beerus.

Kicking off the panel with a quick introduction, Ms. Rial walked the audience through the DRAGON BALL booth on the show floor before running through the newest updates from across the franchise. At the booth, the SUPER Launch Visual artwork of Beerus and Goku and standing statues of Beerus and Whis were on display, alongside playable stations for Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World and DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 3 and a lineup of figures, drawing large crowds of fans. Visitors received a Comic Con bag featuring the SUPER Launch Visual and a Super Saiyan God Goku headset, with a promotional card or a lanyard for anyone who tried the card game or XENOVERSE 3. The updates themselves spanned the wider DRAGON BALL slate, arriving as a run of announcement videos: new characters coming to Dragon Ball Legends and Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle, a release date announcement for XENOVERSE 3, and the FB11 and BT32 sets for Fusion World, along with the S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan 4 Son Goku -Exclusive Edition- figure.

“Today is day one of New York Comic Con, and I’m so happy to kick off the convention and share the world premiere of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus with so many fans” said Monica Rial.

Mr. Douglas and Mr. Sinclair took the stage to cheers from the crowd before sharing their thoughts on the series.

“The reason I became an actor in the first place is that I fell in love with great writing, interesting characters, and exciting action. Dragon Ball as a series has it all,” shared Douglas. Sinclair added, “If you were to tell me I could only be in one show ever, and that it was Dragon Ball, I’d be more than happy. I love this series so much, and it’s incredible to be a part of it and be in a room with so many people that love the same thing as much as I do.”
