Angels have always stood at the top of Dragon Ball divine hierarchy calm, powerful, and mysterious. While fans know them mainly as mentors to the Gods of Destruction, the truth is that Angels may be far more important than most realize. From Whis and Vados to the Grand Priest himself, these beings could soon shape the very balance of the Dragon Ball multiverse.
Who Are the Angels & What Are Their Duties?
In Dragon Ball Super, each universe has its own Angel, assigned to guide and train its God of Destruction. Angels are not meant to interfere in mortal affairs or battles between gods. Their main duty is to observe, advise, and maintain balance.
Whis, for example, not only trains Beerus but also keeps him in check when the God of Destruction’s temper could risk universal stability. Similarly, Vados serves Champa of Universe 6 often mocking his laziness yet keeping him prepared for combat when needed.
Unlike Gods, Angels don’t age, and their energy remains constant. This makes them some of the most stable and ageless entities in Dragon Ball cosmic order.
Whis Power: More Powerful Than a God?
One of the biggest fan debates is just how strong Whis truly is. The answer? Far beyond any God of Destruction.
In the series, Whis easily dodges Beerus’ attacks and even stops him with a flick. Goku once admitted he couldn’t sense Whis’ power at all — a sign of divine mastery far beyond mortal understanding.
Whis trained both Goku and Vegeta to harness divine ki, leading them toward Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. Yet, what’s more fascinating is how easily Whis controls these techniques, using them effortlessly while staying calm and smiling.
If Whis ever fought seriously, even Beerus might not stand a chance. That alone tells fans how wide the gap is between Angels and the Gods they serve.
Angels vs Gods of Destruction: What’s the Real Gap?
While Gods of Destruction are weapons of balance, Angels are architects of order. Gods destroy; Angels guide. But when it comes to strength, the difference is staggering.
Beerus once admitted that Whis is his superior. And the Grand Priest, Whis’ father, is rumored to be among the top five strongest beings in all universes. This means that even if a God like Beerus or Champa went all out, an Angel could likely stop them with ease.
The reason? Angels don’t rely on brute force. Their power comes from perfect control, infinite ki, and mastery of Ultra Instinct. In many ways, they represent what Goku aims to become power without emotion, balance without chaos.
Could Angels Become Key Fighters in Future Arcs?
This is where Dragon Ball fans start to speculate. So far, Angels have acted only as teachers and watchers. But if the new 2026 arc explores the multiverse’s hidden conflicts, the Angels might finally take center stage.
Imagine Whis or Vados being forced to fight against rogue gods, or the Grand Priest revealing his true purpose. Many fan theories suggest that the Angels’ neutrality could break if the cosmic order itself falls apart.
There’s even the possibility that one Angel might rebel, creating a storyline where divine law faces its first true test. This would push the series into unexplored territory a divine war unlike anything seen before.
What Fans Should Expect From the Angel Storyline
As Dragon Ball Super moves toward its 2026 comeback, the Angels are set to become more than side characters. Toyotarou writing hints that Whis, Vados, and the Grand Priest could soon take on deeper narrative roles.
Fans might see flashbacks to the creation of the multiverse, or even learn why Angels exist beyond serving Gods. Perhaps Ultra Instinct’s true origin lies with them, or maybe one of them guards a secret even Zeno doesn’t know.
Whatever the truth, it’s clear that the Angels are not just trainers anymore. They are silent architects of destiny and the next saga might finally pull back the curtain on their true nature.
