Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has crossed another major milestone ahead of its October premiere, overtaking the main JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run trailer on Netflix Anime’s YouTube channel. As of October 7, the Beerus trailer has reached 6 million views, while the Steel Ball Run trailer has reached 5 million.
That gives Beerus a 1-million-view lead over one of Netflix’s biggest recent anime promotions. More importantly, Dragon Ball Super reached that figure faster, giving the returning anime a clear edge for attention before its enhanced version begins airing in Japan on October 11.
Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Has Left Steel Ball Run Far Behind
The numbers tell the story immediately. The Netflix Anime trailer for DBS: Beerus has reached 6 million views, while the main Steel Ball Run trailer has reached 5 million. Beerus therefore holds a 1-million-view advantage, putting it roughly 20% ahead of the JoJo trailer in total views as of October 7. The speed of the achievement makes the comparison even more interesting. Both trailers have attracted enormous attention, but Beerus managed to reach the 6-million mark faster.
That gives the Dragon Ball Super project an especially impressive promotional run, particularly because its trailer is advertising an enhanced version of a story many fans already know. Steel Ball Run is hardly an ordinary benchmark, either. The JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure adaptation has been one of the most anticipated anime projects associated with Netflix, making its main trailer’s 5-million-view performance significant on its own. Beerus overtaking it therefore says something about the sheer amount of attention surrounding DBS’s return. There is also a straightforward reason to focus on these specific numbers.
YouTube view counts are constantly changing, so the figures are best treated as a snapshot from October 7 rather than a permanent ranking. Steel Ball Run can continue gaining views, just as Beerus can widen its lead. For now, however, the gap is clear: 6 million for Beerus against 5 million for Steel Ball Run. The timing makes that lead even more striking. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has not even premiered yet. The official Dragon Ball site confirms that the series will begin in Japan on October 11, meaning the trailer has already crossed 6 million views before the enhanced anime reaches television screens.
Why Dragon Ball Super: Beerus Has Fans This Excited
There is a simple reason the trailer has generated so much attention: Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is taking a story fans already know and giving it a substantial visual and structural overhaul. Toei Animation describes it as an ENHANCED edition designed to provide a more faithful and immersive presentation of Akira Toriyama’s original work. That gives longtime fans a reason to watch even though they already know the basic story. Beerus’ introduction remains one of the biggest turning points in Dragon Ball‘s modern era. The God of Destruction awakens after a long sleep, hears about a Saiyan who defeated Frieza, and eventually encounters Goku. Their meeting introduces Beerus and Whis into the series.
The new version also promises to make familiar battles feel different. The official announcement highlights newly added and redrawn cuts, updated visuals, and a reconstructed story. For viewers who remember the original anime, that creates an obvious curiosity: how much will these scenes change, and how much better will the action look? The timing helps as well. DBS has been away from television animation for years, making this project an event for fans. Beerus is not simply returning as a character; the story is being used to begin Dragon Ball Super anew, with another new anime, Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol, also announced for the future.
That combination helps explain why the trailer has moved so quickly. Six million views is already a huge figure, but beating Steel Ball Run’s 5 million makes the achievement considerably more eye-catching. Beerus has not merely joined the race; it has taken the lead, with the gap standing at 1 million views as of October 7. The biggest story, then, is the speed of the response. Before its October 11 Japanese premiere, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus has already beaten the main SBR trailer in views, showing just how much excitement still surrounds Goku, Beerus, and the return of Dragon Ball Super.
