Dragon Ball 10 Things About Beerus That Make No Sense

Beerus is one of the strongest Dragon Ball characters around, but he's still a mystery. Here are 10 things about him that don't make sense

We've seen Beerus destroy a variety of things in Dragon Ball Super, from Kai like Zamasu to ghosts like Dr. Slump's Dr. Mashirito. He's even destroyed entire halves of planets with just a drop of energy. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's one of the strongest characters we've ever seen in the franchise, but for the most part, he still remains a mystery. We're not even sure how he became a God of Destruction in the first place!

There's so much about Beerus that just doesn't make sense, no matter what angle you look at it from, although being an actual deity might make Beerus immune to the standards of logic we lowly mortals are forced to abide by.

10 Beerus Is So Skinny But Also Immensely Powerful

Since the days of Dragon Ball, we've learned that size and muscle concentration don't mean a thing in this franchise. Even as petite children, Goku and Krillin defeated men twice their size during the World Tournament, and even in Dragon Ball Z, muscleheads like Nappa and Recome couldn't hold a candle to their often slimmer superiors like Vegeta and Captain Ginyu.

Beerus takes this a step further, always appearing in a state of malnutrition despite being one of the strongest fighters in the Dragon Ball multiverse. One look at his arms and you'd think he never trained a day in his life. As we said before, we know muscles don't matter in this series, but even Gotenks has bigger biceps.

9 Beerus Eats So Much Junk Food But Doesn't Gain Weight

Although Beerus and Champa are twin brothers, their body types differ so drastically. While Beerus looks like he's never eaten a day in his life, it's evident that Champa eats every hour! This not only indicates what they do in their spare time, since Beerus is sleeping most of the day and Champa's more of a foodie than a Destroyer, but it also shows that Gods of Destruction aren't condemned to a single body type.

Over the course of Dragon Ball Super, we've seen Beerus down some calorie-dense foods, from huge ice cream sundaes to pizza slices dripping with cheese, and even instant ramen - one of the most sodium-packed meals a person could consume. And yet somehow he still manages to maintain that slim physique despite going straight to sleep after eating.

What are his secrets?!

8 Beerus Can Sleep For Decades Without Having To Eat Or Use The Bathroom

As we mentioned above, Beerus is known for his century-long naps. Before Dragon Ball Super, he was asleep for the entirety of Goku's life. After authorizing the destruction of Planet Vegeta, he went back to sleep for nearly four decades straight.

We know for a fact that we can't get through a good night's sleep without skipping to the bathroom every four hours, and many of us know how it feels to get hunger pangs in the middle of the night. For a guy with such a huge appetite, we can't believe Beerus is such a heavy sleeper!

7 Beerus (Somehow) Fell Asleep During Zeno's All Universe Hide & Seek Tournament

When the Gods of Destruction were first introduced, fans wondered what the divine hierarchy was. They knew that Gods of Destruction somewhat outranked the Kais, and even though the Angels were considered attendants, they somewhat outweighed their Gods of Destruction. But who ruled all of the universes? That answer came to us in the form of the Omni-King, Zeno.

The Dragon Ball Super manga revealed that at some point, Zeno held an All Universe Hide and Seek Tournament, but the game was canceled after Beerus fell asleep for half a century during the event. We know how meticulous Beerus is when dealing with Zeno, even threatening to destroy Goku at one point when the Saiyan considered dropping by Zeno's house.

If even hearing his name causes Beerus to start sweating, then how could he get relaxed enough to fall asleep during the Omni-King's event in the first place knowing what he's capable of?

6 Beerus Wiped Out The Dinosaurs Without Destroying The Earth

In Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Beerus mentioned that he visited Earth once before and destroyed the dinosaurs that inhabited the planet because of how rude they were.

We've always seen Beerus destroy entire planets, and he usually gets the job done. He's not one to selectively kill the species that angered him. Forget the fact that there are still dinosaurs on Earth. Why didn't he just destroy the entire planet as he's done hundreds of times before?

5 Beerus Can Still Get Food Poisoning

After the Reality Machine #2 created what was supposedly the most delicious food of all time, Beerus rushed to the scene to try it out. What he didn't know was that that same machine had created a piece of poop earlier. When you can survive in the middle of space and destroy planets with the tap of a finger, we figured Beerus was somewhat immune to food poisoning, but we were dead wrong here.

In the Dragon Ball Super manga, he was shown to down a poison put in his food by an alien race after indulging in a meal on their planet. If his digestive system had no problem filtering so much of that stuff that was specifically made to kill a person, what's a tiny bit of fecal matter?

4 Beerus Was "Asleep" Through The Entirety of the Buu Saga

In order to preserve the universal balance, Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais of each universe share a life. If one dies, so does the other. Going off of this fact, it doesn't make sense that Beerus stayed asleep for the entirety of the Buu Saga when Shin's very life was in danger after Majin Buu's resurrection.

We know he wasn't even thought of all those years ago, but there wasn't a convincing enough reason to explain why Whis didn't wake him up so that he could save Shin when Majin Buu nearly killed him... twice!

3 Beerus & Shin Share A Life

Going off of the last point, we're lost as to how it's possible for Beerus and Shin to share a life. While both do live on for millions of years, we know that Kais are born, with all of them belonging to the same race, while Gods of Destruction are made.

With the right training, any mortal can become a God of Destruction, no matter their species! So how is it that these two share a life link when chances are, they weren't even born the same year? What kind of magic is used to establish this life link in the first place?

2 Beerus Is Strong Enough To Hold Off All The Other Gods of Destruction

In the manga's Zen Exhibition Match, Beerus managed to hold his own against the other Gods of Destruction, dodging their attacks with ease as they targeted him in unison. If it wasn't for Sidra's barrier, several of them would've been destroyed by one of his attacks at one point, proving that he's up there when it comes to the strongest Gods of Destruction.

Yet the reason why he was forced to participate in this tournament in the first place was because his universe lacked a high enough mortal level due to the fact that he slept more than he actually did his job. Given this, why would he be stronger than the Gods of Destruction who actually did their jobs instead of napping for centuries on end?

1 Beerus Hasn't Mastered Ultra Instinct Yet

Even Beerus hasn't mastered Ultra Instinct to the extent that Goku had during his battle against Jiren. Although this probably is due to the fact that he spends less time training than he does sleeping, at his level, Beerus should've mastered this technique eons ago.

If Goku managed to do it in under an hour, Beerus should already have the technique down. We get that he's lazy and sleeps all his time away, but come on - he's had all the time in the universe! What's his excuse?
