In Dragon Ball Super, the God of Destruction mantle traditionally transfers upon the previous holder’s death. The rule that has been constant across the multiverse in Super is that there can only be one God of Destruction at a time.
But this doesn’t make sense when we consider the fact that Beerus hinted at Vegeta being a candidate for a God of Destruction. Moreover, Beerus even asked Goku, and the latter said he was not interested. So, assuming that there is no way that there can be more than one God of Destruction, how will Vegeta become one?
Vegeta has a peaceful life and seems to have no interest in taking on the responsibility of being ‘The Destroyer’, but considering the way that he is being trained by Beerus, it looks like the sphinx cat-man is grooming a successor.
Vegeta has been groomed to be a ‘Destroyer’
Beerus might have come off as an enigma, an annoying one at that, in the beginning. But as time passed, he became more and more amiable (even adorable). Maybe it is the influence of the Z fighter, but he is kinder, more patient, and less disdainful.
So, assuming Vegeta has to take on Beerus’ responsibility of being a God of Destruction, what will Beerus do? We cannot have him die, not after he became a beloved friend and mentor. He is connected to the ‘Kaio-shin’, the Supreme Kai, on a deep level.
It is not like he can go to another universe and start working there. So, the only thing that remains is to exploit a loophole, one that allows Beerus to pass his power to Vegeta without perishing.
If the essence of God of Destruction is what is connected to Universe 7, being a long-lived being, it is likely that Beerus may not mind passing down his powers. If Whis were to guide them through a divine ritual, a unique transmission/ fusion could occur, blending Beerus’ Hakai energy with Vegeta’s Ultra Ego without the need for Beerus to die.
The next step after Ultra Ego
This could be the next step in the process of power scaling in Dragon Ball. With the Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct forms that have been learned from the God of Destruction and Angels, it seems likely that this dictates the path of Vegeta and Goku moving forwards.
One lingering issue is the established link between a God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai in Dragon Ball Super. If the latter dies, the former perishes as well. So does this mean that Vegeta will have his lifeline connected to the Supreme Kai as well?
Additionally, Dragon Ball DAIMA introduced a different kind of fusion that has not yet been discussed. It could be that Beerus could somehow fuse with Vegeta. Either way, the end result would be a massively powerful Saiyan warrior with Hakai energy at his beck and call.
Toyotarou has already taken Dragon Ball Super in bold directions, from Ultra Ego to Black Frieza. This theory could not be that far-fetched, maybe not anytime soon, but Vegeta being groomed cannot be for nothing.
The Dragon Ball series is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
