Beerus

Beerus is a God of Destruction that came from Universe 7 and was the main antagonist of the Beerus Saga before redeeming and is an ally to the Dragon Team.

## Appearance

Beerus is a purple anthropomorphic cat with golden yellow eyes and large pointed ears.

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 make him appear taller.

He dons black, blue, and gold Egyptian-looking attire with the same white and orange diamond decorations as his mentor Whis.

## 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.

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.

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", but he showed genuine appreciation when 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.

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 as he was clearly showing respect for Roshi and his very intelligent fighting style and common sense, despite their power difference.

He warmly praises Gohan for defeating Dyspo, even though he himself was taken out of the ring.

He also respectfully addresses Gohan by name, rather than referring to him as "Goku's son".

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 to refer to everyone.

Since becoming acquainted with his son Adam 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.

While Beerus does not get overly emotional, he is implied to have grown to care about Adam as he is seen clenching his teeth and fists, and quietly laments If this is truly the end of Adam and he says his name.

Likewise, when Goku is revealed to be alive, Beerus does not get overjoyed about it, but just calmly smiles.

That is until something truly breathtaking and miraculous happens, which is evident when Beerus is capable to show genuine happiness for and taking pride in Adam, especially after the White Wizard finally ascends into the mastered state of Ultra Instinct.

After the Tournament of Power, Beerus' relationship with Bulma and the Earth warriors has continued to grow more casual and positive as despite his open dislike at the request, he was trusted with caring for Bulla while the others went off.

He was ultimately even fine with the baby sitting on his lap and tugging on his clothing.

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, led 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.

Beerus realized the truth and punished King Vegeta for it, while sparing Planet Vegeta for the time being.

It was likely because of this and the Saiyan's arrogant attitude that Beerus told Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta, as he felt that destroying it himself was too much of a bother, thus Beerus himself was partially responsible for the Genocide of the Saiyans, though Frieza ultimately destroyed the Saiyans for his own reasons.

Beerus himself 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.

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 multiverses 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 Tournament of Power, which will result in the losing universes being erased from existence, and also held enough disgust with Zamashu's Project Zero Mortals that he immediately erased the present-day Zamasu when the latter was exposed.

His relationship with Shin is shown to be strained as he is usually rude and condescending towards him not particularly caring what he does as long as he is alive nor does he care for his input.

After the Grand Minister announced 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.

Due to his sealing Old Kai in the Z Sword after getting into a trivial argument with him during a meeting on the Sacred

He has a strong sibling rivalry with his twin brother Champa.

The two tend to argue about minor trivial things such as food toppings and tend to compete over who has the better Universe.

As their fighting between the two could easily destroy both Universe 6 and Universe 7, Beerus and Champa have agreed to food competitions as a way to compete without causing needless destruction though as shown by Champa's visit to Beerus' planet during the Universe 6 Saga in the anime which resulted in a brief fight that destroyed a good portion of the room before Whis and Vados stepped in.

Beerus is shown to be more mature than Champa who is more childish and tends to throw temper tantrums though they both are gourmets who enjoy a good meal although Champa tends to favor sweet foods, which Beerus finds childish.

While he tends to argue and compete with his brother whenever they are together, he does care about Champa as shown by his wish to Super Shenron to restore the Earth of Universe 6 giving his brother his own Earth though it may have also been his way of preventing Champa from trying to acquire the Earth of Universe 7 though another competition.

When Champa is erased during the Tournament of Power, 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.

It should be noted that he also did not gloat or tease Champa for his loss, though this may be another example of his maturity.

Beerus is also somewhat paranoid as he is shown to not like the idea of other individuals hoping to become the next destroyer, going so far as to threaten those he thinks might be tempted.

Another trait of Beerus is that he will destroy things on a whim.

This is one reason why his Universe has such a low mortal level as Beerus never gives civilizations and societies a chance to properly grow, thus the low development is similar to that of Third-World nations in real life.

Beerus is rather lazy at his job as a God of Destruction.

He spends great deals of time napping and eating than performing his duties as a Destroyer God, as explained by Whis when Zeno arrives at the Tournament of Destroyers.

Additionally, the Gods of Destruction are responsible for eliminating threats, but Beerus has rarely ever done this, allowing Frieza to operate his empire and destroy several civilizations, not interfering to eliminate Majin Buu when he killed the Supreme Kais and not investigating New Namek's decreased energy level simply because it was too much of a hassle and there was no good food for him to eat.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

As a God of Destruction, Beerus usually uses his power to destroy planets and its inhabitants, but he is strong enough to destroy entire solar systems with ease.

* **Flight** – The ability to fly with the use of Ki.
* **Ki Blast** – The most basic form of energy wave. Beerus can fire *ki* blasts strong enough to destroy planets.
* **Possession Immunity and Mimicry** – As a god, Beerus is immune to the effects of Demigra's Dark Magic, though it is shown that he is also able to mimic the technique's visual effects (glowing red eyes and aura) in order to give the appearance that he is under its control, allowing him to deceive the technique's user.
* **Poison Immunity** – Shown only in the *Dragon Ball Super* manga's first chapter, Beerus is shown to have immunity to poisons. However in *Xenoverse 2* he is shown to be susceptible to being poisoned by certain attacks.
* **Normal *ki* immunity** – In *Battle of Gods*, Beerus claims that normal *ki* has absolutely no effect on a deity like himself.
* **Strong Digestive System** - Thanks to his physiology, Beerus is capable of consuming even Chronoa's horrible cooking without becoming debilitated afterwards. Shown in *Xenoverse 2* when Beerus ate some of Chronoa's Pudding which she tried to use to calm Beerus after the Future Warrior, Masked Saiyan, and Mira interrupted his fight with Goku. Beerus was only extremely displeased by its foul taste and could continue to fight, while Goku was put out of commission after consuming some. However, he was not able to tolerate the taste of wasabi, and he overreacted, requiring Whis to stop him and knock him out for a period of time, showing that his digestive tolerance has a limit. Also, despite initially being overjoyed with the chocolate-colored orb that the Reality Machine #2 created shortly after Goku and Arale fought, his stomach convulsed afterwards, showing again that his digestive tolerance has a limit.
* **Powerful Lungs** – Thanks to his physiology, Beerus possesses powerful lungs, being even able to breathe in the stratosphere while fighting Super Saiyan God Goku. Thanks to this Beerus can survive in a vacuum for a decent period of time. Beerus also blew Sidra's Energy of Destruction off of a struggling Goku.
* **Longevity** — Beerus possess extreme longevity, being, at the time of his encounter with Goku, over 200 million years old. In *Xenoverse 2*, Beerus even asserts to the Majin Future Warrior that he is older than the original Majin though it is unclear if he is under the impression Majin Buu was created by Bibidi.
* **Life Link** - Beerus and Shin's lives are linked to one another, meaning that if one of them dies, the other will die as well (in a manner very similar to Piccolo and Kami) in order to prevent an imbalance between the natural forces of creation and destruction that Beerus and Shin represent.
* **Tail Attack** – Beerus attacks the opponent by hitting them with his tail, used against Super Saiyan God Goku when the Saiyan had him in a hold.
* **Divination** – Beerus' is said to occasionally have prophetic dreams and has a prophetic vision of the "Super Saiyan God" in the anime, however it is noted by Whis that his prophecies are rarely accurate.

* **Continuous Energy Bullet** – A combination of many energy waves fired at a very rapid rate. Beerus uses an energy sphere barrage technique. Used against Adam.
* **God of Destruction's Wrath** – Beerus glows purple then fires multiple *ki* blasts from his aura in all directions. Used in *Battle of Gods* by Beerus during his battle with Adam in the Underground Lake.
	+ **Sphere of Destruction** – A huge energy sphere that resembles a yellow star. He uses this attack during his battle against Adam, while facing him above planet Earth.
	+ **Wrath of the God of Destruction** – He uses this attack during his battle against Goku in the movie, in order to increase the size of his God of Destruction Super Energy Sphere.
* **Sealing Spell** – Beerus sealed the Old Kai into the Z Sword after an argument with him during one of their coordination meeting held every 1,000 years.
* **Enhanced Hearing** - Thanks to his long ears, Beerus is able to overhear people even if they are far away from him and whispering. In *Battle of Gods*, it allows Beerus to overhear Yamcha and Oolong's plan on how Oolong will beat Beerus at Rock-Paper-Scissors, allowing Beerus to beat Oolong at the game, which Beerus points out after winning against Oolong.
* **Attack Altercation and Redirection** – A technique where the user uses their *ki* to catch an opponent's attack, then alters it and fires it again as their own attack. Beerus used it to catch the strongest caveman's **Fire Breath**, turned it into a ball of fire and then shot it at the alien by pointing at him with his fingertip.
* **Paralyzing Gaze** – Beerus narrows his eyes and stares at his foe, and due to his raw power the foe is rendered almost completely immobile.
* **Sneeze Blast** - Due to Beerus' power, even a simple sneeze can produce a powerful energy blast capable of involuntarily destroying the two suns of Beerus' planet, according to Whis and would have likely killed Adam if he hadn't been able to dodge it when Beerus sneezed in *Resurrection ‘F’*. In *Dragon Ball Super*, Beerus' sneezes a Cataclysmic Orb that destroys a nearby planet.
* **Palm Energy Infusion Explosion** – Beerus places his palm on the opponent, infusing yellow *ki* into them through his palm by having it cover their body as an aura, then he releases and the *ki* explodes, injuring his foe.
* **Energy Nullification** – Beerus is able to void out energy and energy-using attacks by cancelling out their effects and rendering them harmless. Beerus used this ability during his fight with Goku, in which he negated a burst of energy created from a clash between the tremendous *ki* output of Goku and his own, which possessed enough energy to destroy the entire universe.
* **Hakai** - As the God of Destruction, Beerus possess the ability to destroy anything, which includes Gods and ghosts. By extending one of his hands, with his four main fingers straight up and his thumb crossing his palm horizontally, Beerus can cause his target to disintegrate into nothing regardless of who or what it is, without any effort or waste of energy. In the film *Battle of Gods*, Beerus hints Destruction by turning an egg into dust with a simple touch.
	+ **Energy of Destruction** - The Power of Destruction manifested as energy.
