What Happened in Episode 4?
Episode 4 is why this week matters. Beerus had made his threat plain: Earth itself was on the line. In a twist only this franchise could pull off, the planet’s fate came down to Oolong facing Beerus in rock-paper-scissors, a gamble to buy time for the Z-Fighters.
That search led to the ritual, and to the moment the remake had been building toward: Goku finally became a Super Saiyan God. This is not another power-up layered on top of the old ones, but a different kind of strength, borrowed from his friends’ energy, changing what Goku can attempt against a god.
What the New Chapter Sets Up
Official preview material for the new chapter is deliberately thin, rather than filling the gap with guesses. What the listings confirm is the title and date, and the story demands the obvious: Goku, fresh from his transformation, now faces Beerus directly.
The dragon ball super beerus episode 5 preview that does exist points to exactly that confrontation. After four episodes of build-up, the remake can no longer keep its two leads apart. Expect the chapter to test what Super Saiyan God means in a real fight — how fast Goku can move, how hard he can hit, and how long a borrowed form can last under pressure.
When and Where to Watch in India
Crunchyroll is the confirmed international home for the simulcast, and India is included in its streaming regions for this series. New chapters arrive on Sundays, listed at 9:00 a.m. Pacific and noon Eastern, which schedule guides convert to around 10:30 p.m. IST. Timings can shift with daylight-saving changes, so check the Crunchyroll listing on the day itself.
Netflix is a point to be careful about. The series does have a Netflix listing, and episode guides for the previous chapter mention Netflix alongside Crunchyroll, including for India. But one schedule tracker lists the Netflix date for this chapter as 14 November, a week behind Crunchyroll, rather than the same day. So Crunchyroll on 8 November is the confirmed same-day route; Netflix viewers should check the app’s listing first.
Why This Fight Matters
Remakes live or die on whether they justify themselves, and this one has justified itself by tightening the story rather than just repainting it. Scenes have been trimmed or replaced, sparking debate — but keeping the pace brisk. Four episodes in, we are already at the transformation that took much longer to reach in the original run.
That pace is why this fight carries extra weight. If the remake rushes past the battle, it will feel like a highlights reel. If it lets Goku and Beerus truly test each other, it will prove the new version has its own reason to exist.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the new chapter release, and where can I watch it in India?
The dragon ball super beerus episode 5 release is listed for Sunday, 8 November 2026, on Crunchyroll, following the Fuji TV broadcast in Japan at 11:15 p.m. JST. Netflix also carries the series, but its timing for this chapter may lag Crunchyroll, so check the Netflix India listing on the day. Full schedule details are in the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus episode list.
Do I need to watch Episode 4 first?
Yes, absolutely. Episode 4, “The God of Saiyans” from 1 November, is where Goku gains the Super Saiyan God form, and the new chapter follows directly from it. Without that chapter, the fight will not make sense.
Is this a new story or a remake?
It is an enhanced remake of the 2015 story, produced by Toei Animation, retelling the God of Destruction arc in a tighter 19-episode run. You do not need to have seen the original to follow it, but longtime fans will notice scenes that have been changed or cut.
Sunday night, godly aura on, remote in hand — yeh fight miss mat karna, kyunki Goku vs Beerus dekhne ka maza hi alag hai. Sirf wahi dekho, jo worth hai.
