Beerus, the God of Destruction, remains one of the most mysterious and powerful beings in Dragon Ball Super. Even after years of new transformations, few characters have truly come close to his level. But can anyone actually defeat Beerus? Let’s explore the strongest warriors who might have a real chance from Goku Ultra Instinct to Vegeta’s Ultra Ego, Black Frieza, and beyond.
Understanding Beerus’ True Power
Before we rank who can challenge him, we need to understand what makes Beerus so terrifying. As a God of Destruction, Beerus can erase anything people, planets, even souls using Hakai energy. His ki is divine, far beyond the mortal scale.
Beerus isn’t just strong he’s experienced. He’s been fighting gods, demons, and cosmic beings for millions of years. Even Goku’s Ultra Instinct barely made him break a sweat when they sparred in the manga.
In short: Beerus’ base form could rival a Super Saiyan Blue Fusion, while his full power likely sits above that of most Gods of Destruction.
5 Fighters Who Could Defeat Beeru
The Dragon Ball universe keeps expanding, and with each new arc, new gods and fighters appear who could rival Beerus’ dominance. Let’s see who stands the best chance of actually defeating him.
Ultra Instinct Goku
Goku’s Ultra Instinct form represents pure instinct — the ability to move and fight without thought. This divine power allows him to react faster than time itself, dodging attacks even from other gods.
However, Ultra Instinct is still incomplete. Goku can access it, but not sustain it for long. Beerus, on the other hand, has mastered his destructive energy completely. In terms of control, Beerus still wins.
But if Goku ever perfects Ultra Instinct combining offense and defense with his Saiyan spirit he could finally close the gap.
Power Scale (1–10)
- Attack Power: 9
- Speed: 10
- Endurance: 8.5
- Divine Control: 7
Verdict: Goku is the closest mortal challenger, but Beerus still edges him out in mastery.
Ultra Ego Vegeta
When it comes to destruction, Vegeta may actually understand it better than Goku. His Ultra Ego transformation was taught directly by Beerus, and it channels the raw energy of destruction. Unlike Ultra Instinct, Ultra Ego thrives on damage. The more Vegeta gets hit, the stronger he becomes.
In power-scaling terms, Ultra Ego’s destructive potential may equal Beerus’ lower levels of Hakai energy. In their current states, Beerus’ precision and divine ki control still surpass Vegeta, but the prince’s growth rate is insane. One decisive battle could tilt the balance.
Power Scale (1–10)
- Attack Power: 9.5
- Speed: 8
- Defense: 8
- Growth Rate: 10
- Divine Control: 7
Verdict: Ultra Ego Vegeta vs Beerus could be the ultimate teacher-student duel — and Vegeta’s relentless growth makes him the most likely future God of Destruction.
Black Frieza
When Black Frieza debuted, fans went wild — and for good reason. He defeated Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta in seconds. His new form combines godlike speed, near-perfect ki control, and ruthless cunning.
Frieza trained for ten years in a Hyperbolic Time Chamber equivalent, which gave him divine-tier energy. Beerus still has the upper hand in Hakai control, but Frieza’s raw speed and adaptability make him a serious threat.
Power Scale (1–10)
- Attack Power: 9.8
- Speed: 10
- Endurance: 9
- Divine Energy: 8
Verdict: If anyone could beat Beerus with sheer brutality and strategy, it’s Black Frieza. The gap is small — frighteningly small.
Gogeta (Super Saiyan Blue Evolved)
The fusion of Goku and Vegeta Gogeta brings together both Ultra Instinct-like awareness and destructive ego. In Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form, his power briefly touched divine levels during the Broly movie.
If Beerus ever faced Gogeta, it would be an explosion of pure chaos. Gogeta’s fusion timer limits him, but during those few minutes, his power might rival or even surpass Beerus’ full output.
Power Scale (1–10)
- Attack Power: 10
- Speed: 9.5
- Endurance: 8
- Divine Energy: 9
Verdict: Gogeta could momentarily overpower Beerus but the fusion timer keeps him from being a permanent rival.
Broly (Uncontrolled Power)
Broly remains one of the wildest variables in Dragon Ball. His power constantly evolves mid-battle. If he ever masters godly ki or receives training from Whis, he could easily rival Beerus’ destructive energy.
Broly’s biggest advantage is limitless growth, similar to Ultra Ego but without restraint. His biggest weakness? Lack of control. Without focus, Beerus could easily erase him.
Power Scale (1–10)
- Attack Power: 10
- Defense: 9
- Control: 6
- Potential: 10
Verdict: Broly has infinite potential but lacks the precision to challenge Beerus yet.
Whis Hidden Rival (Theoretical)
Some fans believe there are angels or gods above Whis who may not follow Zeno’s hierarchy. If such beings exist, even Beerus might fall short. Toyotarou has teased hidden cosmic layers beyond what we’ve seen.
If a new Dragon Ball Super arc (perhaps the 2026 one) introduces a rival god or angel, Beerus’ throne as the strongest could finally be tested.
Why Beerus Still Reigns Supreme
Despite all this power-scaling, Beerus’ true strength lies in his experience. He’s not just a powerhouse — he’s a strategic destroyer who knows how to manipulate divine ki with surgical precision.
While Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza are reaching god levels, Beerus represents a ceiling they still haven’t fully cracked. His mix of instinct, destruction, and control keeps him untouchable for now.
That said, Dragon Ball is all about evolution. The day one of these warriors surpasses Beerus, the entire balance of gods in the multiverse will shift.

Final Thoughts
For now, Beerus stands undefeated. But with new forms, transformations, and gods appearing in Toyotarou’s manga, his position as the strongest might not last forever.
The question isn’t “Who can beat Beerus?” anymore — it’s “When will someone finally do it?”
