Dragon Ball Super introduced the character of Beerus, the God of Destruction, who brought a new level of power to the series. However, fans may not realize that the concept of a Destroyer God was actually mentioned earlier in Dragon Ball Z. The series has always featured divine beings, such as the Kais, who played a significant role in the Buu arc. A hint of the all-powerful Destroyer God was revealed during Gohan's training with the Z sword and his meeting with Elder Kai.
In a comedic moment in Dragon Ball Z Chapter 285, Goku and Gohan accidentally broke the legendary Z sword and released Elder Kai from his prison within the sword. It is later revealed that the one who sealed him in the sword was the God of Destruction, Beerus. This connection was made by author Akira Toriyama in a 2014 interview. At the time Chapter 285 was written in 1994, it is unlikely that Toriyama had already conceived of Beerus. But this retcon cleverly linked Dragon Ball Z and Super together.
The introduction of Beerus in Dragon Ball Super marked a turning point for the franchise and helped it become more popular than ever. Fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the Super anime to adapt the manga's post-Tournament of Power arcs. With many possibilities for the series, it will be interesting to see how past hints in Dragon Ball's storyline will lead to new and exciting adventures.
In summary, Dragon Ball Super brought the character of Beerus, the God of Destruction, into the series.
However, a hint of his existence was mentioned earlier in Dragon Ball Z, connecting the two series together. The introduction of Beerus and the Angel Whis revitalized the franchise, and fans are looking forward to more exciting stories in the future.
