Beerus
Beerus, the God of Destruction (Japanese: 破壊神ビルス, Hepburn: Hakaishin Birusu) is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He made his debut appearance in the 2013 film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods serving as the main antagonist and returned in the 2015 sequel Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' in a supporting roles, as well as in Dragon Ball Super. He is a deity known as a God of Destruction and resembles a purple cat wearing traditional Egyptian clothing and ornaments, whose occupation is to maintain balance in the universe by destroying, in contrast to the Supreme Kais who create and preserve.
It has been stated by Whis that Beerus is capable of destroying entire universes. Often seen destroying planets at a whim, Beerus' two sole desires are, being quite a gourmet, enjoying food he likes to eat, and fighting opponents whom he considers as worthy. The latter ultimately leads him to look for the Super Saiyan God, which turns out to be one of the Saiyans now living on Earth. Eventually, Goku, with the help of the other Saiyans, transforms into the Super Saiyan God and fights Beerus, just to be defeated by the God of Destruction. Having enjoyed the match, Beerus spares both Goku and the Earth, saying that Goku was the second strongest opponent he ever faced; the first being his caretaker and martial arts teacher, Whis.
The development of Beerus' character first started sometime in 2011. His name and voice actors, along with the film's poster, were officially revealed in December 2012 in Weekly Shōnen Jump's first issue of 2013; Kōichi Yamadera would provide the character's voice. The film poster displays Super Saiyan Goku combating the God of Destruction Beerus, with Whis floating showered in light in the background. The character was in the initial draft of the Battle of Gods, though Toriyama notes that Beerus was changed completely despite his liking of the concept.
The name "Beerus" was taken from the word "virus", though Toriyama mistakenly believed the word meant "beer", which began the naming pun used for Whis during production of Battle of Gods, and later future Gods of Destruction and attendants after alcoholic beverages.
In the following week's issue, he revealed that Beerus's design is based on a cat and his clothes based on Egyptian garments. Beerus's design was partially based on a Cornish Rex cat that had lived with Toriyama at the time of design work, the cat miraculously recovering from an illness and the veterinarian joked that it was demonic. Toei initially had the character to resemble a lizard, Toriyama changing it entirely to a cat. Beerus was planned to use either a spoon or fork in combatting the heroes, the idea being overturned when Tadayoshi Yamamuro, the animation director on Battle of Gods, considered it difficult for Beerus to fight that way and made the suggestion of chopsticks instead.
The April issue of V Jump teased about a new Super Saiyan transformation being in the film, titled "Super Saiyan God", saying that 39 years ago, the Oracle Fish told Beerus that the Super Saiyan God would appear before him, and that this forms the basis for the beginning of the movie's story. In Weekly Shōnen Jump issue #14 of 2013, Toriyama said that the plot for Battle of Gods began two years ago with ideas for the God of Destruction and Super Saiyan God, and that he got deeply involved in the story in order to keep it in-line with the series' original tone so kids could enjoy it.
Beerus is voiced by Kōichi Yamadera in all Japanese Dragon Ball media.
In the English Funimation dub, Beerus is voiced by Jason Douglas. Douglas interpreted voice director Chris Sabat as believing Beerus's voice was "similar in tone" to Douglas' prior role in Borderlands 2 as Krieg. Douglas found out he had earned the role through his agent. In the Bang Zoom! Entertainment English language dub, produced for Toonami Asia and is exclusive to Southeast Asia and India, he is voiced by John DeMita.
