Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Episode 5 Release Date, Streaming Times and Preview

‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ is moving toward the clash that defines its retelling of the God of Destruction story. Episode 5 is scheduled to air in Japan on November 8, following the November 1 broadcast of Episode 4, “The God of Saiyans.” The new episode’s preview details are sparse, but the story has already set up Goku’s arrival on Earth and his transformation into Super Saiyan God.

For viewers following the remake, the main practical wrinkle is the difference between platforms and regions. Crunchyroll’s North American release is scheduled for Sunday morning, while Netflix listings in some markets have run several days later. The remake is an enhanced edition of the 2015 anime, produced by Toei Animation for the studio’s 70th anniversary. It revisits familiar story material, with changes that give returning viewers something to compare as the action unfolds.

Episode 5 date and weekly schedule

Crunchyroll lists Episode 5 for November 8, then new episodes for November 15, November 22 and November 29. The schedule follows a Sunday pattern. The series premiered on October 11, 2026, and its first episode received a world premiere at New York Comic Con on October 8.

The first run is set for 19 episodes, with February 14, 2027 listed as the finale date. If the weekly schedule holds, the run will carry the series through the winter. Release dates can change, so viewers should check their streaming service’s listing as each Sunday approaches.

The calendar also helps clarify what “next episode” means across services: the Japan broadcast, Crunchyroll’s listed release and Netflix’s schedule may fall on different days. That gap matters most for viewers trying to avoid spoilers while following discussion online. Check the date attached to your region and platform before assuming a new installment is available.

Release time and platform differences

Crunchyroll lists new episodes for Sundays at 9 a.m. Pacific and noon Eastern, with English subtitles. That timing puts the subtitled release in the morning for much of North America. Reports about the precise interval after the Japanese broadcast vary slightly, and the first episode’s reported timing differed by a few minutes. Those small discrepancies are a reason to use the service listing as the practical guide.

Netflix follows a separate schedule. Its first episode arrived on Saturday, October 17 at midnight Pacific, and its listed dates for the early episodes were about six days behind Crunchyroll’s. The difference can affect when viewers in a particular market get access, even when they’re watching the same series. Netflix’s timing should be checked locally, especially where the service’s schedule has not specified an exact hour.

Where to watch

In the United States, ‘Dragon Ball Super: Beerus’ is available on Hulu and Crunchyroll, with new episodes added weekly. Hulu began carrying the series on October 11. For Canadian viewers, Crunchyroll is an option, as is the Crunchyroll Prime Video Channel. Viewers in the United Kingdom have those same listed choices.

Netflix carries the series in other markets. An October 2026 release in India was confirmed, although an exact streaming time had not been announced in the source information. Because the release calendar differs by platform and country, availability on one service doesn’t establish that an episode is already live elsewhere. New Crunchyroll subscribers can also use a free trial to catch up.

What the preview does and doesn’t reveal

There’s little detail to report about Episode 5 itself. A fan wiki lists the installment without an English title and gives November 8 as its Japanese airing date. No detailed synopsis is available in the source material, so a more specific account of the episode would be guesswork.

The preceding episodes do offer a sense of the story’s direction. Episode 4 brings Vegeta face to face with Beerus and Whis during Bulma’s birthday. Vegeta uses Super Saiyan 2 and the Galick Gun, but Beerus remains unharmed. At the end of Episode 3, the preview showed Goku arriving on Earth and transforming into Super Saiyan God. That transition points toward the confrontation the series has been building, without establishing exactly how Episode 5 will handle it.

One analysis expects the remake to reach material equivalent to Episode 10 of the original 2015 anime, with action taking a larger role from this stage. The same analysis calls the changes so far a mixed bag, a useful reminder that a remake’s appeal may depend on how well its revisions work for each viewer. The first run is expected to cover the Beerus, Resurrection F and Universe 6 arcs.

Masako Nozawa voices Goku, and Koichi Yamadera voices Beerus. For longtime viewers, the next stretch offers a chance to judge how this version handles the Super Saiyan God transformation and the Goku–Beerus encounter. Episode 5’s schedule is clear; its specific story beats will have to wait for the episode itself.
