Dragon Ball: Could These Mortals Defeat Beerus, The Series’ Most Powerful Destroyer?

Overview

  • Beerus is recognized as the most formidable God of Destruction due to his ability to harness Ultra Instinct.
  • Broly possesses immense potential that may allow him to eventually exceed Beerus’s strength, as suggested by Goku.
  • Black Frieza is theorized to be at least comparable to Beerus, overpowering both Goku and Vegeta.

Within the Dragon Ball community, Beerus stands out as the most powerful God of Destruction in the series, often considered the strongest character outside of the Angel hierarchy and Zeno. His significance to Goku and Vegeta’s development is profound, as Beerus is a benchmark for their growth and the only Destroyer to demonstrate mastery of Ultra Instinct, particularly evident during an exhibition match where he triumphed over his fellow Gods of Destruction.

This match played a crucial role in establishing Beerus’s formidable prowess, as he managed to defeat all of his counterparts. Despite this acclaim, discussions persist regarding other mortals within the Dragon Ball universe who might rival his strength. In this article, we delve into potential candidates who could outclass Beerus.

The Unparalleled Potential of Broly

Broly made his mark as a fan favorite when he was canonized in the 2018 film. Goku’s assertion that Broly might surpass Beerus has fueled speculation among fans about his potential strength. However, it should be noted that the series has seen several retcons that may redefine character strengths—Beerus’s capabilities have been enhanced since Goku’s original claim.

Currently, while Broly has begun mastering the incredible power of his Legendary Super Saiyan form, he is yet to reach Beerus’s level. However, given his remarkable growth trajectory, he could potentially close the gap and possibly surpass the God of Destruction in the future.

  • Goku suggested Broly may have greater strength.
  • Broly’s potential growth could quickly diminish the current disparity with Beerus.

Goku and Vegeta’s Fusion: Vegito and Gogeta

Chance of Exceeding Beerus: Mid-High

The fusion characters, Vegito and Gogeta, are among the most cherished figures in the Dragon Ball saga despite their limited appearances. The debate over their strength relative to Beerus remains contentious within the community, often influenced by various retcons affecting character power levels. If formed with Super Saiyan Blue, these fusions likely fall short of Beerus.

Our strengths aren’t merely summed; they are amplified significantly!

However, with Goku and Vegeta now having unlocked Divine Techniques associated with Angels and Gods of Destruction, they are closer than ever to embodying Beerus’s power. A fusion of Vegito or Gogeta in these states would yield a being with supreme offensive and defensive capabilities, potentially exceeding Beerus’s abilities.

  • Earlier fusions were relatively weaker in the plot’s context.
  • Recent power advancements (Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego) dramatically improve their potential strength.

Black Frieza Could Surpass Beerus

Probability of Being Stronger: High

Many fans speculate that Black Frieza, one of the series’ most prominent antagonists, may possess the highest chance of defeating Beerus. After being resurrected post-Tournament of Power, Frieza underwent ten years of rigorous training within a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, resulting in a transformative power boost.

The culmination of this effort is the formidable Black Frieza, known for defeating Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta with minimal effort, showcasing his ability to eliminate Gas in a single punch—who was previously the most powerful mortal in the universe. Fans posit that if Black Frieza could dominate both Goku and Vegeta in their strongest forms using their Divine Techniques, he might indeed stand on par with Beerus.

  • Black Frieza overpowered Goku and Vegeta with only a single punch.
  • He could have chosen to finish them off if he wished.
