Beerus, the God of Destruction (Japanese: 破壊神ビルス, Hepburn: Hakaishin Birusu) is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. Beerus made his first appearance in the 2013 feature film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods as the main antagonist and returned as a supporting character in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F', as well as one of the main characters in Dragon Ball Super. He is a God resembling a purple cat wearing traditional Egyptian clothing and ornaments, whose occupation is to maintain balance in the universe by destroying planets, in contrast to the Supreme Kais who create and preserve them.
It has been stated that Beerus is capable of destroying entire universes by Whis. Often seen destroying planets at a whim, Beerus' two sole desires are, being quite a gourmet, enjoying food he likes to eat and fighting opponents whom he considers as worthy. The latter ultimately leads him to look for the Super Saiyan God who turns out to be one of the Saiyans now living on Earth. Eventually, Goku, with the help of the other Saiyans, transforms into the Super Saiyan God and fights Beerus, just to be defeated by the God of Destruction. Having enjoyed the match, Beerus spares both Goku and the Earth, saying that Goku was the second strongest opponent he ever faced; the first being his caretaker and martial arts teacher, Whis.
Conception and creation
The development of Beerus's characters first started sometime in 2011.
Beerus is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera in all Japanese Dragon Ball media.
In the English Funimation dub, Beerus is voiced by Jason Douglas. In the Bang Zoom! Entertainment English language dub, produced for Toonami Asia and is exclusive to Southeast Asia and India, he is voiced by John DeMita.
Abilities
Beerus possesses strength capable of easily destroying the universe. Some of Beerus's unique attacks include Sphere of Destruction (ビルス玉, Birusu Dama), where he creates a small sun-like ball of energy in between his hands, raises his arms, and quickly enlarges the ball before launching it, along with Destruction before Creation, where he surrounds himself in an aura resembling a sun prior to releasing an energy wave. Beerus's strongest technique, Hakai (破壊, lit. "Destruction") can be used to completely obliterate objects and entities within the universe. Although the technique is first seen being used by Beerus, all Gods of Destruction can utilize the ability.
