Ever wondered who’s the top dog in the wild world of Dragon Ball Super Gods of Destruction? These cosmic heavyweights balance creation and chaos across the multiverse, but only one can claim the title of “strongest.” Let’s break down the claws, fists, and feuds to crown the real MVP.

Beerus: The Undisputed Champion (Mostly)
Meet Beerus, Universe 7’s feline-inspired God of Destruction. While he’s notorious for napping and craving exotic foods, don’t let that fool you this cat’s got claws. Here’s why he’s widely seen as the multiverse top Destroyer:
- Survived a 11-vs-1 Beatdown
In the manga’s Zeno Expo arc, all eleven Gods of Destruction ganged up on Beerus during a chaotic battle royale. Not only did he hold his ground, he was one of the last two standing (the other being Quitela from Universe 4). Even Quitela struggled to land a hit earlier, making Beerus’ endurance that much more impressive. - Power-Scaling to Goku & Jiren
Let’s connect the dots:- Jiren (Universe 11’s mortal powerhouse) > Belmod (his universe’s God of Destruction).
- Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku > Jiren during the Tournament of Power.
- Beerus still > Current Goku (yes, even with his shiny new Ultra Instinct upgrades).
But Wait Belmod Raw Strength Might Surprise You
Arm Wrestling Champion ≠ Battle Champion
Here’s where things get spicy. In Dragon Ball Super Episode 93, Whis casually drops a bombshell: There’s a mortal (Jiren) stronger than his God of Destruction (Belmod), and Beerus once lost to Belmod in… an arm wrestling match.
- Beerus’ Defense: “That was just arm wrestling! I’d wreck him in a real fight!”
- What It Means: Belmod might bench-press more, but Beerus brings the heat in actual combat. Think of it like a bodybuilder vs. a mixed martial artist—raw strength ≠ battlefield dominance.
Quitela Manga Plot Twist: The Arm Wrestling King
Anime vs. Manga: Who Beat Beerus?
Hold onto your Senzu Beans—the manga flips the script. In Chapter 28, Universe 4’s Quitela brags about defeating Beerus in—you guessed it—arm wrestling. Beerus fires back: “Try me in a real fight, though.”
Why the Change?
The manga might’ve tweaked this to hype up Jiren’s strength later (if his God of Destruction could arm-wrestle Beerus, imagine how strong Jiren is!). But regardless of bicep battles, Beerus remains the last Destroyer standing in manga brawls.
Final Verdict: What Makes a God of Destruction “Strongest”?
It boils down to what you value:
- Combat Skills: Beerus dominates (surviving an 11-Destroyer dogpile says it all).
- Raw Muscle: Belmod or Quitela might edge him out… in arm wrestling.
- Plot Armor: Let’s be real Beerus role in the story (and fan love) keeps him front and center.
The Bottom Line: If Zeno hosted a fight-to-the-finish tournament, Beerus walks away with the crown. But if it’s arm-wrestling night at the Divine Lounge? Bet on Belmod or Quitela.
