Dragon Ball Super‘s episode #55 shared some information the manga did not by revealing how to kill any universe’s God of Destruction. Before Goku is summoned to meet Dragon Ball‘s Grand Zeno, the King of All, the angel Whis casually reveals how to kill Beerus, and the Destroyer is understandably not happy about it.

Before Goku was taken to visit the supreme ruler of the Dragon Ball‘s multiverse, Beerus expressed concern that the Omni-King may take any frustrations with Goku out on their universe’s Supreme Kai. Whis then explains to Goku and the audience that if the Supreme Kai were to die, so would Beerus because the two’s lives are linked. That being the case, Goku was incredibly close to killing Beerus before he was even introduced.

Goku Almost Murdered Supreme Kai, Which Would Have Killed Beerus In The Buu Arc

The Buu arc features some of Dragon Ball Z‘s most intense moments, like Majin Buu systematically killing almost every human on Earth and Majin Vegeta’s rampage. Before Goku and Vegeta’s epic rematch, the Supreme Kai attempted to intervene in their battle. With Babidi seeking to absorb the Saiyan’s energy to resurrect Buu, the Kai saw no choice but to try and stop the fight Vegeta and fans had waited years to unfold. In one of Goku’s most cold-blooded moments, he threatens to kill Supreme Kai with a charged energy blast until he gives in. Without knowing it, Goku almost prevented the entirety of the Dragon Ball Super series before it even began.

Beerus and his fellow Gods of Destruction are some of the most feared creatures across the multiverse, but that does not mean they have never been wiped out. The divisive Future Trunks arc witnessed the rouge Kai Zamasu wiping out all of the Kai’s in his timeline, effectively killing every God of Destruction that would have stood in his way of executing his Zero Mortals Plan. However, Beerus or the Supreme Kai have yet to perish in the main Dragon Ball Super timeline, although that would be an exciting plot development for the series’ story to explore eventually.

Only A Few People Know How To Kill Beerus…For Now

Beerus was technically made canon in Dragon Ball Z when Toriyama revealed that the one who sealed Elder Kai in the Z sword was Beerus. Knowing that the death of the Kai would have been the end of the Destroyer God, it makes sense why the grouchy cat sealed the Universe 7 Kai over a disagreement. Whis trusts Goku with the information about Beerus’s weakness because the Saiyan, obsessed with improving himself, would never destroy the weaker Supreme Kai to defeat the universe’s Destroyer God. With such a rule in place, it’s only a matter of time before the wrong person finds out and changes the status quo of Dragon Ball Super‘s power-level food chain once again.
