Background / History
Beerus is Universe 7's God of Destruction, a supreme deity paired with the Supreme Kai in overseeing the universe. Unlike Supreme Kais, he does not act according to conventional morality or routinely intervene to protect others; he destroys what he personally judges to have no value. His long life of overwhelming superiority left him bored enough to sleep for extended periods. 387 388 413 451
Whis trained Beerus and serves as his attendant, placing the Angel on a higher plane of power. Beerus acknowledges that he has never defeated Whis and is wary of powerful Angels such as Regus. 356 536
Raditz accidentally awakened Beerus while completing Whis's cleaning assignment in the God of Destruction's Realm. Enraged at the intrusion, Beerus immediately attacked, but Raditz's Super Saiyan God power and status as an Apprentice Supreme Kai caught his interest. Beerus subsequently revealed that he had used only 30% of his strength in their first battle. 386 387 388
Beerus became increasingly invested in Raditz after connecting him to his precognitive dream of a Super Saiyan God rival. Once Raditz entered the divine realm and perfected Ultra Instinct, Beerus recognized him as the rival foretold by that dream; their full-power battle ended in a draw. 408 538 539
Appearance
Beerus is depicted with pale golden eyes, a tail, and a purple aura or mist when exerting divine power. He is first awakened wearing simple sleepwear and later appears in a God of Destruction uniform. 387 409 539 545
- His golden eyes become especially intense when serious or angered. 409 538
- His body is often wreathed in purple Destruction energy during combat. 475 539
- He has a distinctive tail, which he uses offensively in battle. 410
- He commonly adopts a relaxed posture with his hands behind his back, even during confrontations. 456 476
Personality
Beerus is capricious, proud, and easily angered, particularly when awakened from sleep or denied food. A dropped mango pudding is enough to provoke him into challenging Goku and Vegeta and threatening Earth. 387 409
Despite his title, Beerus is childish in everyday matters. He is highly susceptible to good food, regularly visits Earth for its cuisine, and can be placated with meals or rare ingredients. He also secretly follows Tais's novels, though he becomes flustered when this is mentioned. 388 389 409 447 448
Beerus values combatants who can genuinely challenge him. His initial contempt for Raditz turns into fascination, rivalry, and eventual respect; he is similarly willing to train or test Goku and Vegeta when their potential interests him. 388 475 506 538 539

- Dodges attacks without looking directly at their source. 555

- Zeno — The supreme being whom Beerus deeply fears and obeys. 502 503 555
- The Supreme Kai — His divine counterpart in Universe 7. Beerus knows him but is not close to him, and criticizes him for involving himself in dangers outside his strength. 397 406
- Tais — An Earth writer whose chatter gives Beerus headaches; he nevertheless follows her novels and secretly requests additional scenes. 409 447
