Jiren's consideration for the position seems to imply that Gods of Destruction are promoted, not created.

Which leads the to the question of whether Beerus & Champa are the natives to their respective universes.

Also what kind of fucked up family are they to produce 2 Gods of Destruction within the same lifetime.

Prior to Dyspo being outed as a Rabbit rather than a cat, one of the theories was that Beerus and Champa were from universe 11 instead, and got kicked out of it since they couldn't beat Bermoud for his position.

Toppo was a candidate for Go D not Jiran.

My theory is that Gods of Destruction are promoted, and then given their own universe to rule. It would actually make twin brothers working on twin universes have some sense, since no one else have that dynamic. Goku and Vegeta were offered the job, but I don't think it means ruling Universe 7, Beerus may be lazy, but I doubt he would leave his privilege.

Also, something to point out, but other than Beerus and Champa, none of the Gods have spoken with their twin counterpart, except for Quitela and Sidra.

And in that shot, we can see Quitela not caring a bit about Sidra, but Sidra does seem to respect Quitela. I wonder what is their deal.

Also, I heard of the Goku plotting something theory. During his fight with Hit, Hit said "we are just pawns", and Goku said "Not forever". Then Goku talked with Vegeta, and Vegeta wondered why Goku is so hesitant in using Frieza. Then Goku talks with Frieza, and Frieza, with shock on his face, ask him if he "is plotting something", which Goku confirms.

Is... Goku really plotting something? "The work of the gods end here"... What does it mean?

Given the wide variety of forms among the Gods of Destruction, and the fact that Whis offered Goku the job, I imagine that they're ascended mortal beings. Extremely rare mortals who obtain power like that of the gods and are transformed into an actual god by some means or another.

If memory serves, that scheme didn't work out so well for Sun Wukong.

He got beat up by Buddha.

However, in Dragonball, the Buddha analogue is Tenshinhan, who Goku has long since surpassed, so I'm not sweating it.

Wouldn't Zeno be the Buddha equivalent now though? In that case, Goku would end up becoming an Omni-God himself by the end of the series.

Tenshinhan doesn't have anything to do with the Buddha aside from the third eye thing, which is genetic in his case.

The Multi arm technique is another one, but everyone and their mother can do that with just two arms.

Even Hercule can to the untrained eye, and he's normal.

Also, recently brought the first volume of Super, and I love how the bonus page for Chapter 2 has Vegeta watching and mimicking dancers on TV to make his Bingo Dance, only for the one from Chapter 3 to state that he never actually did it, since the bonus page has him disappointed that he never got to show it off. Guess Vegeta secretly likes to dance when he's alone.

The third eye thing is linked to Erlang Shen, an entity different from Buddha and is way weaker.

For a while I've assumed that Beerus and Champa are the result of Love Transcends Spacetime, and their parents are from different universes.

Cus is best angel so far. I want to see her and Gowasu make more Godtube videos

I can't wait for Cus to smirk at Gowasu as he's destroyed.

Personally I would rather see some varied reactions from the angels, even if they're all just apathetic about it, like Vados making crying sarcastically after Champa is gone. Shows more character that way.

You're right. Cus would be more the type to wink and do a peace sign with her tongue out.

Those two families in a nutshell huh.

Notably, if you count Future Trunks, the Briefs family is a lot more important than 2/3 of the Son family.

Well, Bulma is Goku's oldest friend and Vegeta is Goku's most prominent rival. The only character with overall story importance rivalling those two is Krillin.

Some interesting thoughts from Masako:

See, most of what he says for the 16 idea tracks pretty well, but he's forgetting one thing:

If Tien still delays Semi-Perfect Cell before he can catch 18...then without 16 to slow her down, 18 would very well be able to escape. It was only because she was carry 16 that she failed to get very far. Not only that, but with no Ki signature to track, she'd be impossible to find. Then Vegeta shows up, and since 18 isn't nearby to allow him the opportunity to absorb her, Vegeta gets sick of fucking around and kills him.

Therefore, I'd argue that 16 dying would actually prevent the situation from getting better WORSE.

As for the other two...the Super Saiyan 3 one could work, but Vegeta's never been good at scaling other's powers against his own, so it's unlikely he would notice, but if he did, it'd probably lead to what he's thinking about.

In regards to Black being killed early, I can see it. Future Zamasu is still a thing, but he'd be less of a threat even with Immortality. One good Mafuba (with the fucking tags this time) and boom. Problem solved.

Edit: [down] Yeah. That was a Typo.
