Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 4 Release Date, Streaming and Story Setup

The fourth episode of ‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ is scheduled for November 1, continuing the series’ weekly Sunday pattern. For viewers planning their week around the release, the main details are the listed start times and where the episode is expected to stream. The episode’s story, by contrast, remains uncertain: current listings give it no synopsis, so the events of episode three offer the clearest available setup.

The remake revisits the earlier anime with redrawn scenes, improved animation and sound, and a reconstructed narrative. That combination gives returning fans a reason to look closely at how familiar moments are presented, while the weekly release makes each episode part of a longer unfolding run. But without a description or preview for episode four, claims about its specific scenes would go beyond what has been reported.

Episode 4 release date and listed times

The fourth installment is set for Sunday, November 1. The listed North American times are 9 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Mountain, 11 a.m. Central and noon Eastern. The schedule also gives 4 p.m. GMT. Those times are presented as subject to change, so viewers may want to check their streaming service closer to release day.

Japan gets the series first. It airs on Fuji Television on Sunday nights at 11:15 p.m. JST, with Prime Video receiving the episode shortly after midnight on Monday. Other streaming platforms in Japan are listed for Thursday releases. These differences make the local schedule important: the date and hour of availability depend on both region and service.

November 1 falls in the middle of the opening run’s first block. One schedule guide lists six episodes in that block, with its final episode due on November 15. On that timetable, episode four sits between the opening installments and the block’s close. The information describes the placement within the schedule, but doesn’t reveal whether the episode itself marks a major change in the story.

Where to stream the new episode

Crunchyroll is listed as the main destination for the weekly release, with English subtitles. Its stated coverage includes the United States, Canada, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Southeast Asia and Europe. For viewers in those regions, it is the clearest option in the available scheduling information.

Hulu and Netflix are also mentioned, though reports differ on when episodes appear there. One guide says both services stream each installment directly after its Crunchyroll debut. Another reports that US Netflix viewers waited until Saturday for episode three, several days after the Crunchyroll release. That discrepancy matters for anyone trying to watch on a particular day: Netflix timing may vary, and checking the app is the most reliable way to confirm availability.

Reelgood lists Hulu and Crunchyroll as options for US viewers and describes new episodes as arriving weekly. It also notes that new Crunchyroll subscribers can use a free trial. Availability and release timing are separate questions, though: a service may carry the series without matching the first listed premiere time. Viewers choosing between platforms should check both whether the show is available in their region and when the next episode appears.

What the story has set up

Episode guides currently give episode four a placeholder rather than a synopsis. That leaves the previous installment as the best guide to the immediate setup, while offering no firm account of what the new episode will contain.

Episode three, titled “The God of Destruction Heads to Earth,” is scheduled for October 25. It follows Beerus and Whis as they travel to Earth after Goku is knocked out on King Kai’s planet. Bulma’s birthday cruise is underway when Beerus arrives, seeking information about the Super Saiyan God. Those threads place the God of Destruction among the group gathered for the celebration, but the available description stops short of saying how episode four will develop the encounter.

Vegeta has reason to fear Beerus, and keeping the visitor content becomes harder once Bulma is caught up in the situation. One outlet expects the remake’s pacing to reach the party scene more quickly than the earlier version. That expectation gives returning viewers something concrete to watch for in the adaptation, though it doesn’t confirm which scenes will appear in episode four. Until a synopsis is published, the party, Beerus’s search and the characters’ reactions are useful context rather than a scene-by-scene prediction.

How far the remake is expected to go

Published schedules leave some room for uncertainty. One guide provides fixed dates only for the first six-episode block. Another lists weekly dates through the end of December, leaves later installments to be announced and gives the run a total of nineteen episodes. Those accounts don’t offer the same level of detail about the full schedule, so the later dates should be treated as provisional.

The remake’s stated scope includes the God of Destruction Beerus arc, the Frieza revival arc and the Universe 6 arc. The story begins several years after the battle against Majin Buu, but the planned material extends beyond Beerus’s introduction. That wider span helps explain why the series title foregrounds Beerus while its announced story covers more than his arrival.

Early critical reaction has drawn attention to Beerus’s characterization. In its preview guide, Anime News Network describes him as more playful and formidable, pointing to the way he dodges Goku’s attacks and the cuts showing him studying his opponent. Voice actor Koichi Yamadera has also spoken about reusing his earlier recordings, describing that opportunity as a stroke of good fortune in a comment attributed to the series’ own site.

For episode four, the practical takeaway is clear: November 1 is the listed date, but the synopsis and plot details have yet to arrive. The next useful signals will be a fuller episode listing and confirmation of timing on each service. Until then, the third episode’s arrival on October 25 should give viewers the immediate context for Beerus’s visit and the birthday cruise.
