Background / History
Beerus awakens in the God of Destruction Realm after sleeping for 39 years. A dream about a Super Saiyan God prompts him to ask Whis to locate such a warrior; Whis instead shows him footage of Ye Ming and Vegito's battle from three years earlier. Beerus finds Ye Ming promising despite considering both fighters mortals rather than gods. 7
Accompanied by Whis, Beerus travels to Earth in search of the Super Saiyan God, destroying dozens of planets along the route as part of his role. He arrives at Bulma's birthday party, accepts the group's hospitality and Earth's food, but receives no answer about the Super Saiyan God. 7 8
When Son Goku challenges him, Beerus effortlessly defeats Goku's Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 forms. He then accepts Ye Ming's challenge, initially threatening Earth should Ye Ming prove unworthy. 8 9
Ye Ming forces Beerus to take the fight seriously, eventually drawing out his full power, Hakai Energy, and imperfect Ultra Instinct. Their final clash nearly destroys the universe until Whis reverses time; both exhausted fighters accept Whis's ruling of a draw. Beerus thereafter treats Ye Ming as a respected rival and invites him to the God of Destruction Realm. 9 10 11 12 13
Ye Ming's rapid advancement pressures Beerus into abandoning his laziness and training seriously in the Destruction Space. This motivation continues after the Universe 6 tournament, where Beerus grows openly proud of Ye Ming's victory while still maintaining his dignity as a god. 14 31 32

Personality
Beerus is proud, easily irritated, and accustomed to being treated as the strongest God of Destruction. He initially dismisses mortal fighters as weak, threatens Earth during his confrontation with Ye Ming, and refuses to accept the possibility of losing to a mortal without resistance. 8 9 11
Despite his destructive temperament, he is highly responsive to good food and accepts Bulma's hospitality with unusual politeness. His fascination with Earth's cuisine helps avert an immediate conflict following his arrival. 7 8
Beerus is competitive, especially with his twin brother Champa, but he protects those he recognizes as belonging to Universe 7. He warns that other Gods of Destruction would be provoking his authority if they tried to harm Ye Ming in his realm. 13 15
Ye Ming's strength gradually improves Beerus's discipline. Rather than remaining idle, Beerus trains to close the gap with his rival, becomes more diligent in his destruction duties, and later prepares to confront threats from other timelines. 14 32 46
