Dragon Ball fans just got their first real look at Super Saiyan Goku in the upcoming anime remake \u2014 and it came from an unexpected place. A newly revealed GRANDISTA figure has shown off Goku’s updated design for Dragon Ball Super: Beerus<\/em>, pairing his classic blonde Super Saiyan form with the Whis gi from Resurrection ‘F’<\/em>. It’s a combination fans have wanted more of for a decade, and it quietly confirms something Toei hasn’t officially announced yet.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick answer:<\/strong> A GRANDISTA figure revealed on July 22, 2026 shows Super Saiyan Goku wearing the orange Whis gi in Dragon Ball Super: Beerus<\/em>, the anime remake premiering Fall 2026. The figure releases December 2026 to January 2027 at around \u20ac19.99. Because that outfit-and-form combination only appeared during the Universe 6 Tournament, the figure strongly implies the remake will cover a third arc Toei hasn’t formally confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every new anime design becomes a Legends unit within months, and the ranked ladder shifts the week it drops \u2014 usually while you’re still farming the medals to build it. Our Dragon Ball Legends boosting service<\/a> handles event farming and PvP climbing with pro players, so you’re competing on release week instead of catching up a month late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Was Actually Revealed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The reveal came through Banpresto’s GRANDISTA line \u2014 premium figures specifically designed to replicate anime aesthetics as closely as possible. That matters here. GRANDISTA figures are built to match on-screen art direction rather than reinterpret it, which makes them one of the more reliable early windows into how a series will actually look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figure shows Goku in base Super Saiyan \u2014 the original blonde transformation, not Blue, not God \u2014 wearing the orange tunic-style gi introduced in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’<\/em>. A companion Super Saiyan Blue figure in the same outfit was revealed alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both were shared publicly on July 22, 2026 by Dragon Ball news account Venixys and picked up by outlets including HobbyConsolas. Pre-orders are already open at roughly \u20ac19.99, with a release window of December 2026 through January 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Whis Gi Reveal Matters So Much<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To understand the reaction, you need the history of the outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whis gi debuted in Resurrection ‘F’<\/em> as a bridge between Goku’s classic Turtle School uniform and the darker gi he wore at the end of Dragon Ball Z<\/em>. The tunic-style cut and deeper orange coloring gave it a distinct silhouette, and fans took to it immediately \u2014 but it was retired early. By the Goku Black saga it was gone entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the part that made this reveal land: Goku almost never wore it in base Super Saiyan. Across the entire window where he had the outfit, the blonde Super Saiyan combination showed up only a handful of times, mostly during the Universe 6 Tournament. Most of his screen time in that gi was spent in Super Saiyan Blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the remake isn’t just re-rendering an existing look \u2014 it’s giving significantly more screen time to a combination that barely existed the first time around. For a fanbase that spent years arguing about Dragon Ball Super<\/em>‘s original art direction and inconsistent animation, that’s a meaningful correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the Figure Quietly Confirms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is where the reveal gets genuinely newsworthy rather than just cosmetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toei Animation has officially confirmed that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus<\/em> covers two arcs: the God of Destruction Beerus Saga (the Battle of Gods<\/em> story) and the Golden Frieza Saga, the latter revealed in the April 19, 2026 trailer at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Universe 6 Tournament \u2014 the Champa arc \u2014 has never been officially announced as part of the remake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the figure’s outfit-and-form combination is specific to that arc, and its December-to-January release window lines up almost exactly with when that story would air if the first two arcs run roughly twelve episodes. Merchandise timing in the Dragon Ball franchise is famously synchronized with broadcast schedules, which is how the October premiere window was pieced together months ago from Beerus and Whis figure listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is This Official or a Leak?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Worth being precise, because coverage has been blurring the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The figure itself is official product<\/strong> \u2014 real, listed, and open for pre-order. What’s unofficial is the conclusion being drawn from it. Toei has not announced the Universe 6 arc, and the figure’s existence isn’t the same as a broadcast confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, this pattern has a strong track record. The October 2026 premiere window was first surfaced in May by merchandise listings shared by anime-merch tracker @Baggie_Saiyan, and later corroborated by established Dragon Ball leaker Geekdom101. Toei consistently aligns product releases with airdates because Dragon Ball is one of its largest revenue drivers \u2014 the franchise brought the company $134.2 million last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat it as a very strong signal rather than a confirmation. It’s the kind of thing that gets officially announced two months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Actually Is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been assuming this is a simple HD remaster, it isn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus<\/em> was announced on January 25, 2026 at the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri 40th anniversary event, revealed by voice actor K\u014dichi Yamadera. Editor Akio Iyoku described it as an “enhanced” edition that had been in production for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
