The Dragon Ball Super remake airing this Fall just hit one of the franchise's signature moments — and upgraded it. The newest episode, Episode 4, delivers Goku's debut as a Super Saiyan God, and per ComicBook's coverage, the remake powers up the transformation's presentation compared to the original TV run.

The remake is working back through the now-classic series from the beginning, which puts it squarely in the Battle of Gods arc: Beerus, the God of Destruction, arrives looking for a worthy opponent, and Goku's red-haired divine form is the answer. It's the moment that kicked off Super's entire god-tier power scaling, so how the remake handles it was always going to be a benchmark for the project.

Early episodes have given Toei a chance to revisit material that originally aired under notoriously uneven production conditions, and the Super Saiyan God debut is exactly the kind of setpiece fans wanted redone with modern polish. Four episodes in, the remake is making its case as more than a simple re-air.
