Beerus

**Beerus** (ビルス '**Birusu'**) is the God of Destruction of Universe 7. He is accompanied by his martial arts teacher and attendant, Whis. Beerus' twin brother is Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6.

Beerus was the main antagonist of the God of Destruction Beerus Saga but becomes a supporting character in later sagas.

## Appearance

Beerus is a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears. He is modeled after the 14-year-old cat currently living with Akira Toriyama, *Debo a Cornish Rex*.[3]; which in spite of developing a serious illness, and the vet declaring it didn’t have long to live, it miraculously got better on its own, and the vet said it might be some kind of demon. His form is hairless and while overall defined in built, he is very thin and bony. He is of a similar height to Goku, being slightly shorter, but his ears making him appear taller. He dons black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with the same white and orange diamond decorations as his mentor Whis.

In the "Super Star Guide's" minicomic teasing Champa's appearance and his resemblance to Beerus, Beerus appears wearing Champa's clothing, and also being inflated by Whis to appear identical to Champa.

## Personality

Beerus is powerful, yet lazy and playful (like most cats). His similarities to cat-like behavior also display in his love for long sleep sessions and how he grooms himself. Beerus is always in a bad mood when he wakes up from his deep slumber, but becomes less grumpy the more awake he is. Similar to many cats, he likes to display dominance, and will claim whatever he desires to have without much consideration for how it will affect others. He is also a gourmet, and his planet is stocked with fish and other sorts of food.[4] While he is a fearsome god, his cat-like gestures and his variety of facial expressions separate him from the more malevolent antagonists in the series.[5] He has a very indifferent behavior toward death, being the God of Destruction, and cares little to none about death and the billions, possibly trillions of lives he has taken over the years he has been the God of Destruction. He often uses the threat of destroying Earth as a means to get what he wants or as a simple warning to Whis and the other Z fighters.

However, Beerus is hotheaded and somewhat selfish and can become easily angered over trivial matters, such as being beaten in a game of Hide-and-Seek, being served greasy food, or being denied pudding. He is also confident in his superior power, not without cause, as he proved to be the strongest opponent ever fought by the Z Fighters at the time.

In *Dragon Ball Super*, Beerus is seen to be more malicious than he was in the movie, not to mention more comical. He is also comically argumentative and abusive towards his servants. When Oracle Fish forgot the name of Beerus' ultimate adversary, he suggests to Whis to cut his feedings from "three times a day to two times a day". Beerus never likes it when he does not get the respect he deserves as a god. In the Universe 6 Saga, Beerus jokes about "destroying a world using the Super Dragon Balls," but has a sinister smirk when talking about it, which has Bulma suspicious and seeks to find the Super Dragon Balls before him. He is also demanding of Vegeta, treating him as his servant boy. Along with this, he never cares about the lives of the other fighters of Universe 7, and would consider his fighters as "pawns" in the tournament and barely praises Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo's work in the tournament, as exclaiming they did alright, but that changed in episode 70 where he praised Yamcha for winning baseball match. His cheering and enthusiastic attitude is seen even more in the Tournament of Power, cheering on any of the fighters who knock an opponent out of the ring, especially weaker fighters. In episode 105, when he observed Master Roshi fight with 3 Universe 4 fighters, he was cheering him on and keep calling him "Old Man", until Krillin told him his name, and after Roshi is revived by Goku, he ask Krillin what his name is and when Roshi eliminated himself Beerus called him Master, clearly showing respect for Roshi and his very intelligent fighting style and common sense, despite their power difference.

Despite his extreme power and role as God of Destruction, Beerus is surprisingly well-mannered, respectful, and polite, and can be quite sociable and friendly when in a good mood; he uses exclusively polite pronouns, from the gentle-polite-masculine *boku* to refer to himself (much like Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Babidi in the series) instead of the coarse-masculine *ore* (every other main adult-male in the series), and *kimi*(affectionately-polite form of "My Good Sir/Good Madame") to refer to everyone. Since becoming acquainted with Goku and his friends, Beerus' attitude has lightened somewhat, becoming even more comical than before. While still arrogant and indifferent, he has become noticeably more tempered, which leads to comical antics. Whereas before he would destroy planets and all its inhabitants for even the slightest disrespect, he has begun showing considerable restraint despite the various outbursts from the Earthlings' antics, this is because of Zeno becoming Goku's friend, and likewise, the advent of the Tournament of Power. Likewise, the Earthlings have become more casual and relatively calm in his presence, something Beerus seemingly has no problem with, when angry, rather than showing off his aura and attack, he comically yells, demands and nags at them, specifically Goku, partially due to his friendship with Zeno.

He appears to have a very high view of his power, as he always claims that his power completely outclasses that of Goku, Vegeta, and others; however, he does eagerly await for an individual to rival his power. While Beerus dislike evil beings, he has no problem with using them, as shown by his relationship with Frieza whom Beerus allowed to maintain a vast galactic empire and even act as Beerus' agent of destruction. He also recruited the Saiyans lead by King Vegeta to obtain the universe's most comfortable pillow, though King Vegeta's stinginess caused him to try and trick Beerus by giving him the second most comfortable pillow, but Beerus realized the truth and punished King Vegeta for it, while sparing Planet Vegeta for the time being. King Vegeta's behavior and the Saiyans evil nature however caused Beerus to tell Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta, thus Beerus himself was partially responsible for the Genocide of the Saiyans, though Frieza ultimately destroyed the Saiyans for his own reasons. Beerus himself however only tolerated Frieza's existence due to his power and his willingness to work for Beerus out of fear. Beerus also told Frieza that he would not interfere with his revenge. However after Frieza destroys the Earth, Beerus allows Whis to use his Temporal Do-Over to give Goku a second chance to finish Frieza off and save the Earth, though this was mainly due to the fact he preferred Goku, Vegeta, and the Z Fighters over the return of Frieza and his evil empire, as well as his love of Earth food, though he did mention his dislike of actually helping restored a planet, though Bulma was quick to thank him by inviting him to a celebratory feast. While Beerus joked about using the Super Dragon Balls to destroy Universe 7 which Bulma took seriously, he ironically had Whis use the Super Dragon Balls to restore Universe 6's Earth, effectively giving his brother an Earth of his own, though had Whis keep quiet about the nature of his wish to maintain his reputation so as to not appear soft. Additionally, he ends up saving Goku from having his body stolen by Zamasu by killing the rogue Shinjin, though Goku Black's Time Ring prevented him from being erased. In the anime, Beerus had Whis travel to the past in Trunks' timeline to warn his counterpart Future Beerus of the threat posed by Zamasu and of the events that lead to Future Shin's death which caused Future Beerus to die due to their life link, creating a new future timeline where Future Shin and Future Beerus are still alive and the events that lead to multiverse's being erased to not occur, giving Future Mai and Future Trunks a timeline to live in after their timeline was destroyed, thus Beerus has technically revived or prevented the Earth's destruction three times, once in the main timeline, once in Universe 6, and once in the alternate future timeline, showing that he can at times can be a benevolent deity.

Due to his power and position, he is somewhat fearless, as there are very few who can match his power, let alone capable of killing him in combat. Beerus is not hesitant to kill other lifeforms, even his rival, Goku, as he threatened to destroy Goku if he got involved with Zeno. However, he is shown to be terrified of Zeno, in a manner very similar to how the Kais and other gods are scared of Beerus himself. Due to his life link to Shin, the only active Supreme Kai of Universe 7, Beerus has a strong desire to prevent his death, as it would cause Beerus himself to die as well. Although he is the God of Destruction and has destroyed several things, he also was demonstrated to have limits as to the kind of destruction he would condone, as he was shown to be very angry at Goku for his role in the two Zeno's Tournament of Power during the Universe Survival Saga, which will result in the losing universes being erased from existence, and also held enough disgust with Zamasu's Zero Mortals Plan that he immediately erased the present-day Zamasu when the latter was exposed.

His relationship with Shin is shown to be strained as he's usually rude and condescending towards him, not particularly caring what he does as long as he's alive nor does he care for his input. After the Great Priestannounced the stipulation for the Tournament of Power, he angrily told Shin that he was too hands-off with his approach and blamed him for their universe's low mortal level.

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse,* after faking to be controlled by Demigra's Dark Magic due to being as a god, Beerus noted he would enjoy destroying Demigra because he "seems like an evil guy", and also out of revenge, considering Demigra's attempt to control him "a blasphemous action that deserved punishment". Beerus also enjoys fighting strong opponents, as he looks forward to Goku, Vegeta and the Future Warrior becoming stronger. He also encourages the Future Warrior to see if they have a skill that can defeat him.

In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*, Beerus is taken aback when Mira has the audacity to tell him to be quiet when he arrives to save the Masked Saiyan after Future Warrior chases him to Age 778 during Beerus' fight with Super Saiyan God Goku. However, instead of destroying Mira, Beerus is impressed by his lack of fear, as it had been awhile since a mortal had the courage to talk back to him and allows Mira to fight the Future Warrior without interference. However, as the fight drags on, Beerus loses his patience and threatens to destroy everyone present, though is stopped when Chronoa sends him a box full of pudding cups, which calms the God of Destruction to the point he even offers Mira and the Masked Saiyan some pudding, which causes the pair to leave as Mira considers Beerus' friendly attitude a buzz-kill. However, as the pudding was made by Chronoa herself, who is notorious for her poor cooking skills, Beerus is enraged at how horrible it was, forcing Whis and the Future Warrior to subdue him as Goku is incapacitated by stomach cramps after eating some of the pudding. Beerus eventually calms down and refuses to eat anymore of Chronoa's cooking when she suggests making it up to him. While eating his sundae with Whis in Age 779 during Frieza's revenge, Whis and Beerus are contacted by Chronoa who informs them that Towa and Mira are attacking the Time Nest and asks for Beerus' assistance by offering cream puffs, which she claims were made by Future Trunks to alleviate Beerus' concerns that she made them. However, Beerus is furious when he and Whis arrive at the Time Nest and discover that they were deceived by Towa who had hacked into the Time Nest's communications and pretended to be Chronoa to lure Beerus and Whis from Age 779, preventing Whis from assisting Goku like in the original history, causing Goku and all of his friends saved by Whis to die when Frieza uses his Earth Breaker to destroy the Earth. Like with Demigra, Beerus is outraged by Towa's blasphemous act of deceiving him in such a manner and demands to know where she is so he can destroy the Demon Scientist, though like in *Xenoverse* he later decides to leave her defeat to the Time Patrol as he is impressed by the new Future Warrior's power after they manage to best Whis in a sparring session, which Beerus was forced to leave after Whis drew his symbol on Beerus' forehead. Also despite his past history with Elder Kai, whom he had sealed within the Z Sword, Beerus is for the most part civil towards Elder Kai, though threatens to destroy him when he tests Beerus' patience when Elder Kai still holds a grudge for being sealed while complaining to himself loud enough that Beerus can hear him, though Whis manages to defuse the situation with food.

While Beerus doesn’t get overly emotional, he is implied to have grown to care about Goku as he is seen clenching his teeth and fists, and quitely laments If this is truly the end of Goku and he says his name. Likewise, when Goku is revealed to be alive, Beerus doesn’t get excited about it, but just calmly smiles. When Champa is erased, Beerus remains stoic with his eyes closed, but turns to look at Champa when Champa calls out to him. After Champa is erased, Beerus remains stoic, but the fact that he is quiet and stoic, instead of his usual self, implies that he did care about Champa on some level.

## Power

Movies
As a God of Destruction, Beerus usually uses his power to destroy planets and its inhabitants,[4] but he is strong enough to destroy entire solar systems with ease (as said by Whis when describing Beerus' might when angered). At a greatly suppressed level of power, Beerus completely dominates Super Saiyan 3 Goku in battle, rendering him unconscious with just a light chop to the neck and barely breathing.[6] Afterwards, Goku mentions that not even a Fusion of himself and Vegeta would be enough to take down Beerus. With only a tiny percentage of his true power, Beerus effortlessly defeats Majin Buu, Android 18, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, Ultimate Gohan (Ultimate Super Saiyan 2 in the original version), and Super Saiyan Gotenks. Even with a massive power boost, Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta's assault barely fazed Beerus, who swiftly defeated Vegeta with a simple forehead poke. Against Goku's Super Saiyan God power, the two seemed evenly matched, but Beerus eventually wins. Beerus also admits to Goku that there are indeed individuals in the various universes that are stronger than him, including his attendant/teacher Whis. It was later revealed by Whis that Beerus has in fact used not quite 70% of his full power, a feat he had not had to do in quite a while.

In *Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’*, Whis asserts that with Goku and Vegeta's progress from training under him could challenge Beerus if they were to fight together. This was implied to be through fusion, as when talking about working with Goku, Vegeta states he did it only once before, much to his dislike. Beerus later shows worry of this, not wanting Vegeta to know that he authorized Planet Vegeta's destruction, meaning he might not be a match for the Saiyan prince in a rage empowered Super Saiyan Blue form. Goku comments that Beerus is so powerful that a normal *ki* blast from him would be enough to wipe out both Goku and Vegeta in their base forms. Beerus is feared by Frieza, who had trained for four months and became stronger than both Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta individually.

Manga and Anime
Beerus is easily able to destroy planets, he once tapped his nail and half of the planet was completely destroyed. He also destroyed a planet completely by letting a tiny bit of energy drop from his finger onto its surface. It is stated by the Supreme Kais that Beerus has enough power to destroy the entire universe if he was provoked enough - and it is again later implied that at full power, Beerus would destroy the entire universe. It is also stated by King Kai that Beerus is at a level "far beyond strong". Beerus is shown to also have immense speed, able to go from his temple to another planet located in another star system or galaxy in less than two minutes, making him able to cross great distances within space without Whis' help.

When Beerus fights against Goku on King Kai's planet, he is able to casually evade and/or block all of Goku's attacks even at Super Saiyan 3. When Beerus simply prepared to attacks, the mere gesture caused Goku to freeze and retreat momentarily from Beerus, realizing the danger. Likewise, a single outstretched finger was able to easily disperse Super Saiyan 3 Goku's Kamehameha. When Beerus finally attack, a simple finger flick launched Goku across the entire planet. Beerus then instantly knocked Super Saiyan 3 Goku with a simple tap at his shoulder (a neck-chop in the manga). After Goku was defeated, he stated that not even a fusion of himself and Vegeta would stand a chance against Beerus. When Beerus arrives at Bulma's birthday party, a mere glare at Vegeta restrains Vegeta into full paralysis. In a heavily suppressed level of power, he easily defeats retrained and defeated Gotenks (base in the anime, Super Saiyan 3 in the manga) with two fingers, twice pummeled aside Majin Buu and Ultimate Gohan, and repelled joint attack from Piccolo, Tien Shinhan, and Android 18 with a mere exertions of his *ki*. While Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta managed to land some mighty blows after his enraged power boost, Beerus quickly emerged unharmed. While defeating Vegeta, in the anime, Beerus admitted that he used 10% of his power, something he hadn't done in a long time.

After Goku becomes a Super Saiyan God, he is able to hold his own against Beerus, and when Goku awakens the true power of Super Saiyan God, Beerus is forced to power up significantly, though not to his full power, to which after much resilience from Goku, Beerus eventually wins. Beerus battling full power Super Saiyan God Goku caused the universe to begin crumble from the enormous energy and sheer force of the blows they unleashed. In the anime, Beerus tells Whis he dragged things out to get Goku to show his power. Beerus stated that there is no one stronger than him in the universe. However, after his battle with Goku, Beerus tells Goku that Whis is his master and is stronger than him before leaving.[16] Later, Whis states that in comparison to Beerus, Goku and Vegeta are merely trees while Beerus is the equivalent of his castle.

In the anime version Universe 6 Saga, when Goku asked about Champa's power in comparison to his twin brother Beerus, Vados says it should be obvious from their respective builds, thus implying that Beerus is stronger. During another sibling scuffle, their destructive energy begins to destroy both the Sixth and Seventh Universe, requiring Whis and Vados to step in again as their clashing energy began turning everything around them into dust. While it remains unclear which brother is truly stronger, Beerus showed a clear advantage in sheer stamina and resilience, as after a long rock-paper-scissors fight, Champa's hand became very sore while Beerus remained unfazed. In the manga Beerus and Champa are shown fighting in a flashback, with Beerus appearing to have the advantage. In the anime, during the Tournament of Destroyers, Beerus still believes that he is stronger than Goku even after the Saiyan managed to use the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken x10. He does, however, show some worry at the level of power Goku displays.

In the anime "Future" Trunks Saga, while Goku believed that Zamasu would eventually surpass Beerus, Beerus rejected the statement, insisting that he is on a completely different level. He also claims that when a god kills someone, even another god, it will affect space-time as he expects Future Zamasu to be dead after killing the present one. While later proven true, it was revealed by Black revealed that his Time Ring protected him from annihilation once time and space had been altered. Toei went on to state Beerus killing Zamasu split the main timeline in half.[17] Both Beerus and Whis were later shown to survive in Earth's inner core with no visible discomfort whatsoever. In the manga it is stated by Shin that Super Saiyan Blue Vegito - who easily overwhelmed Fused Zamasu - may be stronger than Beerus.

It is noted in the anime Universe Survival Saga that Beerus is not the strongest warrior in all the universes as there is an individual besides the angels who is stronger than a God of Destruction. When Whis states that this individual defeated Beerus once, Beerus retorts that he merely lost once in an arm-wrestling match against the individual. Beerus' power appears to be well-above Sidra's power as Beerus was effortlessly able to dispose of his Energy of Destruction by simply blowing on it.

In the manga Universal Survival Saga, when irritated by the Oracle Fish declaring that in time Goku and Vegeta will each become true rivals for Beerus, the Destroyer decided to spar with Vegeta. Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta was able to excite Beerus but was still overwhelmed him easily - with Beerus noting that a simple power up from Super Saiyan God would not be enough to beat him. Once Vegeta unleashed the completed Super Saiyan Blue state, he was able to pressure Beerus. When he solidly hit Beerus, the god became infuriated, and stopped holding back to instantly defeated Vegeta using a massive and powerful explosion attack. Later, during the Zen Exhibition Match against all the Gods of Destruction, Beerus showed a slight advantage over the fellow Destroyers who all attacked him together. Despite being completely defensive to the group assault, Beerus skillfully and calmly dodge nearly all of their attacks through his automatic reaction training. While momentarily caught by the massive Mule, with some effort Beerus forced his way out of the body hold. His speed proved great enough to deceive his enemies, slipping out of sight and launching Champa in to the air as a diversion. Once he got Arack, Champa, Sidra, Belmod, and Geene together, he launched and energy sphere that was only countered by Sidra's barrier. Goku and Geene believed that had it not been for Sidra's defense, it would have surely defeated if not killed the five gods. Beerus takes down Rummshi in combat and he and Quitela prove to be the last two Gods of Destruction standing, however before their final punches can hit each other the Great Priest stops their fight.

As powerful and feared as Beerus has become in his eons as a deity, his power is not truly supreme, as he openly states that Whis, his martial arts teacher, is superior in power. Beerus' power also pales in comparison with Zeno, the supreme deity who rulers over all the universes and gods. Ironically, Beerus fears upsetting Zeno in a manner similar to how others fear Beerus himself. Beerus is also rightfully fearful of the Great Priest as shown when he immediately kneeled before his presence and quivered with fear when the Great Priest looked at him in an annoyed manner. Beerus' greatest vulnerability is the Supreme Kais of Universe 7. If all the active Supreme Kais were to die, then Beerus will die as well due to his life link with them. He therefore tries to ensure that no harm were to come to Shin, the only remaining active Supreme Kai of his universe, in any way possible as part of his duties.

Statements by authors and guidebooks
*V-Jump* notes that Beerus is without a doubt the strongest character in the history of the *Dragon Ball*franchise.[6] The series' original author, Akira Toriyama, stated that Beerus was the strongest in the universe, and that there was nothing higher.[18] However, this is disproven in *Battle of Gods* when Beerus reveals that his attendant and martial arts master, Whis, is stronger than him. Regardless, Beerus' power is in another dimension altogether in comparison to the non-godly Z Fighters.[1] Toriyama state, in terms of power, Super Saiyan God Goku would be a 6, Beerus would be a 10, and Whis would be a 15.[19] Toriyama also noted that Beerus could destroy the Supreme Kai's realm,[8] which is 1/10th the size of Universe 7.[20] Toriyama states in *Dragon Ball Volume ‘F’* that Frieza is no match for Beerus no matter what he does, even after his training.

According to the *Dragon Ball Super* rival danger scale, Beerus ranks as a nine out of twelve.[21]

Video Games
In *Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2*, while sparring with Whis alongside the Future Warrior, Whis manages to playfully draw his symbol on Beerus' forehead without him noticing due to Whis' superior speed, causing Beerus to leave the battle in order to wash it off quickly as Whis had used a permanent marker. Beerus was unable to wash it off in time (this unlocked an alternate skin/skillset for Beerus). This seemingly proves Beerus' statements about his master being stronger than him.

In *Dragon Ball Fusions*, Beerus is shown to be stronger than Legendary Great Ape Broly as he is able to effortlessly blast the giant Saiyan ape away with a *ki* blast after he recovers from his battle with Tekka's Team. Towa also flees with Mira when she notices Beerus' presence. While he is stronger than Ultra Pinich's Super Saiyan form, he is weaker than Golden Great Ape Ultra Pinich and Tekka's Ultra Fusion after they absorb a Super Spirit Bomb created by everyone present at the Timespace Tournament inside the Timespace Rift which temporarily makes them stronger than both Great Ape Pinich and Beerus.

## Trivia

* Beerus was first referenced in the manga chapter "The Zeta Sword" and the episode "Out From the Broken Sword". However, the Elder Kai claims that the person who sealed him did so for being afraid of him, not because of a discussion.
* It should be noted that Beerus is not evil, his title as "God Of Destruction" is merely a job-description. I.e. He has the absolute authority to destroy whatever he wants in order to keep balance in the universe, which is necessary. This is the main reason why Goku does not despise him.
* In accordance to the original concept for this character, his name in Japanese, *Birusu* (ビルス), is a pun on "virus" (ビールス; German pronunciation).[25] However, the series' original author, Akira Toriyama, thought his name is a pun on the alcoholic beverage, "beer". The pun continues with Whis and the Universe 6 God of Destruction Champa and his attendant Vados.
* Akira Toriyama's inspiration for the design came from an old Cornish Rex cat living with him (like Toriyama's previous cat was the inspiration for Korin). After the cat became seriously ill, the vet declared it did not have much longer to live, but the cat miraculously recovered and the vet joked that it might be some kind of demon.[1] Beerus' physical design also takes some inspiration from Ancient Egyptian deities,[26] notably Seth and Sekhmet. Seth is a humanoid with a jackal-like head who is the god of desert, storms, darkness, evil, strength, winds, war, conflict and chaos in ancient Egyptian culture. Sekhmet is a humanoid with a lioness head who is the Egyptian Goddess of fire, vengeance, healing medicine, and she carried out divine punishment, such as destroying things, and sending out plagues. In addition to sharing the same position as Sekhmet, Beerus is a felid like her.
* The scriptwriter Yūsuke Watanabe originally envisioned Beerus as a villainous character who infects people with evil and was the one who gave the Saiyan race their ruthless characteristics.[27] Also, Beerus originally looked like a lizard, but Toriyama changed his design entirely.[28]
* Beerus was going to fight the Z Fighters with a spoon or fork, but the *Battle of Gods* animation director Tadayoshi Yamamuro thought it would be hard for him to fight like that, so he suggested switching it to chopsticks.[28]
* Beerus claimed he wiped the dinosaurs out on Earth, but in the *Dragon Ball* universe, dinosaurs still thrive on planet Earth. In fact, a dinosaur can briefly be seen during Beerus' fight with Super Saiyan God Goku in the film *Battle of Gods* in which Beerus' originally made the claim (before his fight with Goku), directly contradicting his earlier statement in the film.
	+ One possible explanation for this discrepancy may be explained by Arale Norimaki's use of the Time Slipper in *Dr. Slump* to prevent the dinosaurs from going extinct. Thus, it is possible that Beerus destroyed them as he had claimed, however, Arale managed to bring some back from the past into modern times explaining their presence in the *Dragon Ball* series.
* Beerus is one of the few characters to have brought out genuine fear in Vegeta. The others were Friezaand Broly.
* In the anime, at first, both Goku and Future Trunks mistook Whis as Universe 7's God of Destruction because Whis' appearance is more "godlike" than Beerus'.
* While most fights in Dragon Ball Super are much faster in pace, lasting two episodes at most, the fight between Super Saiyan God Goku and Beerus is the longest in the Super anime which takes up to five episodes.
* Whis said that Beerus once lost an arm-wrestling against one of the other Gods of Destruction. It turns out that in Chapter 28 in manga, the one who won against him in arm-wrestling was Universe 4's God of Destruction, Quitela.
* Curiously, in the movies *Battle of Gods* and *Resurrection "F"*, Beerus appears to behave in a more polite, respectful and patient fashion with others, whereas in *Dragon Ball Super*, he seems to behave in the opposite fashion.
