Background / History
Ling Xuan transmigrated into the body of Louis, a six-year-old high-class Saiyan living on Planet Vegeta in Age 736. With one year remaining before Frieza's planned destruction of the planet, he awakened a Sign-in System and received Immunity as a novice reward. 1
Louis deliberately sought Beerus out at King Vegeta's palace to complete a sign-in mission. His resistance to Beerus's pressure and attacks, coupled with his newly acquired Rudimentary Autonomous State, convinced Beerus to recruit him as Universe 7's Candidate God of Destruction. Beerus subsequently spared the Saiyans and ordered them to join the Galactic Patrol. 2 3
A projection of the Grand Priest attempted to erase Louis but failed due to his constitution. The Grand Priest then instructed Whis to train him. Over the following ten years, Louis trained in strength, dimensional cultivation, and the rules of destruction, eventually learning to wield Destruction Energy. 5
As a Candidate God of Destruction, Louis accepted responsibility for improving Universe 7's standing. He released Old Supreme Kai from the Z Sword so that Shin could receive proper guidance, while Louis himself continued carrying out planetary-destruction missions under Whis's supervision. 6 7
Appearance
Louis initially appears as a young Saiyan child, but years of divine training leave him considerably taller and more refined in appearance. He has a lean frame concealing well-developed musculature. 1 5 17
- Black hair and black eyes in his normal state. 5
- A brown Saiyan tail, usually wrapped around his waist. 5
- Described as handsome, with refined and sunny features. 5 17
- His hair turns gold when transforming into a Super Saiyan. 13
Personality
Louis is confident, irreverent, and unusually composed around divine beings. As a child, he calls Beerus “big kitty,” yet he is calculating enough to understand that being immune to damage does not prevent imprisonment, starvation, or dehydration. 3
He initially shows little attachment to the Saiyan race, openly refusing King Vegeta's request to rescue Vegeta from the Frieza Force. Over time, however, he becomes more willing to guide the Saiyans toward self-reliance rather than solve every crisis for them personally. 9 21 38
Louis can be ruthless in combat and destruction work, eliminating Frieza Force soldiers and killing Cui for hunting Tights. He is also capable of remorse: after Namek is damaged in a later conflict, he gives Spirit Fruits to the Grand Elder as an apology. 14 15 37
His gentler side is most evident around Tights. He protects her, supports her ambitions, grants her eternal youth, and eventually confesses his love for her. 11 19 20
Abilities & Skills
Sign-in System
Louis possesses a system that issues location- or person-based sign-in missions and grants rewards upon completion. 1
- Granted Immunity, the Autonomous State, Super Saiyan, Divine Dimension, Instant Transmission, and the Erasure Prototype. 1 2 5 14 25 40
- Its missions often direct Louis toward major figures or locations, including Beerus, the Supreme Kai Realm, Frieza Force headquarters, and the gathered Gods of Destruction. 1 5 14 25
Immunity / Ignore
Louis's defining ability is immunity to all negative effects, later referred to as Ignore. 1 29
- Lets him sense divine presences because divine pressure counts as a negative effect. 2
- Allows him to endure Beerus's attacks and the Grand Priest's attempted Erasure without bodily harm. 3 5 40
- Allows him to remain unharmed under repeated attacks from ten Candidate Gods of Destruction. 29
- Does not remove ordinary mortal needs; Louis notes that imprisonment without food or water could still kill him. 3
- His clothing can still be destroyed even when his body is unaffected. 29
Autonomous State
Louis develops an Angel-level autonomous combat state far earlier than normally expected. 2 17
- The Rudimentary Autonomous State enables instinctive movement and combat responses. 2 4
- The Perfect Autonomous State allows him to evade and counterattack opponents with vastly greater power. 17 28
- It cannot fully bridge an overwhelming difference in raw strength; Beerus remains beyond Louis's ability to defeat. 17
Destruction Energy
Under Whis's instruction, Louis comprehends the rules of destruction and learns to condense Destruction Energy. 5
- Used to eliminate Frieza Force patrols and kill Cui. 14 15
- Used for planetary destruction missions intended to improve Universe 7's overall condition. 5 14
- His output is initially limited by his own power; at one point, he can only create a fist-sized sphere of Destruction Energy. 24
- Whis cautions that destruction alone cannot raise Universe 7's mortal level without creation and balance. 8
Super Saiyan
Louis's Super Saiyan transformation is unlocked when the system resolves his S-cell deficiency. 5
- Multiplies his base power by fifty. 5
- Raises his recorded combat power from 1 billion to 50 billion when first used. 13
- Later produces a recorded output of 75 billion when his base power has reached 1.5 billion. 17 28
- Places a severe burden on his stamina and body, according to Whis and Beerus. 13
Instant Transmission
Louis gains the Supreme Kai version of Instant Transmission by signing in at Frieza Force headquarters. 14
- Allows travel to any known coordinates. 14
- Unlike Yardrat Instant Transmission, it does not require him to sense another person's ki. 14
- Used to escape after launching Destruction Energy at Frieza Force territory. 15
Erasure Prototype
Louis gains a prototype of Erasure, a law formed from multiple rules rather than an ordinary technique. 40 43
- Its aura terrifies Quitela, who recognizes it as resembling Lord Zeno's signature power. 42
- Kusu intercepts Louis's attempted attack on Quitela. 42
- Louis's early use produces severe backlash because his power is insufficient to sustain it; he requires repeated healing spells afterward. 42 43
- Louis later trains specifically to reach the God Realm and better support the use of Erasure. 47 48
Relationships
- Beerus — Louis's master and the God of Destruction who recruited him as Universe 7's Candidate. Their relationship is combative but loyal; Louis agrees to defend Beerus's pride against other universes' candidates. 3 23
- Whis — Louis's principal instructor and frequent travel companion. Whis trains him in power, dimensions, and destruction rules while often tolerating Louis's provocations. 5 8
- Tights — Louis's romantic partner. He initially agrees to protect her in exchange for meals, later avenges her against the Frieza Force, grants her eternal youth, and confesses his love. 11 15 19 20
- King Vegeta — A fellow Saiyan with whom Louis has a strained history. Louis initially refuses to help the king rescue Vegeta, but later explains that his apparent indifference was tied to his divine responsibilities. 9 38
- Son Goku and Vegeta — Saiyans Louis guides without taking over their battles. He directs them toward North Kai's Kaioken and Spirit Bomb training and later agrees to teach them Instant Transmission. 21 49
- Old Supreme Kai — Released by Louis from the Z Sword. Old Supreme Kai becomes one of the first beings to suspect that Louis's abilities and divine aura conceal a larger mystery. 6 40
- Kusu — The Grand Priest's eldest daughter, who prevents Louis from killing Quitela and questions whether he is connected to the Omni-King. 42 43
- Quitela — A hostile God of Destruction whom Louis humiliates during the candidates' sparring event and later threatens with Erasure. Quitela subsequently conspires with Demigra against him. 29 42 47
