Actually, we don't know anything about the other Gods of Destruction.
Although nothing would make me happier than Beerus and Champa being the laughingstock of the Gods of Destruction.

Yeah, but those beings are the deities above him. They should be out of the league of everyone else in the series.
It shouldn't make sense that your average bad guy could get powerful enough to compete against who is pretty much the God of the universe.

I don't get why people are so infuriated by it.
I think that people just want Goku/Vegeta>>Beerus, that's all.

Whis: "Yes."
Bulma: "So, you're stonger than Beerus?"
Whis: *laughs* "Who knows?"
It's very heavily implied both here and in BOG (if I recall) that Whis is stronger. But I'll give you that we don't know for 100% certain.

Except for the fact that whis knocked him in out in the bog movie and supers manga.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

About Beerus i wait the next episodes, but i have really no doubt that Whis kick Zamasu ass.

We know that Zamasu will have a weakness and in the next episode Goku will destroy his halo alone. Arrogant or no, i doubt that Zamasu wants to lose his hax ability.

Zamasu is not so unbeatable like people think, for me. There's a reason for me if we have not seen these Gods to 100%, for now.

But we know that the number of people stronger than Beerus is probably in the double digits, so there really isn't any reason to force villains to be weaker than him.

Well Beerus isn't the God/King of all universes like Zeno is, and there are still 10 other Gods of Destruction who are likely stronger than him, as well as 12 angels being above him. That said, the person you're putting him up against is no ordinary runt, not even an ordinary god.. No. This is a SSJ BLUE Vegetto!
I'm talking about U7. I expect the other Gods of Destruction to be pretty much even.
No they're not. They're all stronger than the other. The first one they face is weaker than the second one they face and so on. That's how it is, should be, and will be. That's how dragonball works. The next enemy is usually stronger than the previous one. (Minus GF, Hit Black and Zamasu) because Beerus is a GoD. It makes no sense for all of them to be equal in strength. That's retarded.

I am 100% certain that they will be stronger than Beerus. It's called progression. The next villain is always stronger than the last. It's only logical.

The Kais are also gods of the universe and Goku surpassed them by the Buu Saga. Before then, King Kai was the upper god and he's weaker than Nappa.

Goku barely took a backseat in the Buu saga, at best he took a leisurely stroll round back while everyone else cried for him to come back.

The Gods of destruction are not villains and I don't think they will fight Goku/Vegeta or Beerus. And if it were as you say, then Champa> Beerus.

For me are more or less all the same level, but who knows.

Didn't Beerus even say there are 12 Universe, some with Gods of Destruction more powerful than himself? In the movie I mean?

Umm what? They're not antagonists, so your logic is pointless.
They just mind their own business and that's it. If they were to be included in the story they most likely would be like Champa.

Champa was introduced after Beerus and he's at best only equal to Beerus. So that logic was already broken by the first new story arc in Super.

I'm also a littler rusty, but I'm pretty sure that Beerus said there were people in those universes stronger than Goku, and that Whis was even stronger than Beerus himself.

I don't remember that he said that they are stronger than him, but the movies are irrelevant with super, so, it does not matter.

I believe that Vegetto and Merged Zamasu surpassing Beerus and perhaps even Whis is pratically necessary at this point. Because, if not, it means that Goku and Vegeta separately might never surpass them, after all, it's likely that Vegetto from Buu Saga has a base form that's more powerful than Goku and Vegeta's current base form. What I'm trying to say is, that these are fusions and the next villains are probably not going to be fusing or needing fusion against them, but Vegetto is imensely more powerful than Goku and Vegeta and if Beerus is never surpassed by them, then it's going to be very hard to make any sagas related to Gods of Destruction or Angels, which I think is the point of their existence, I mean, Dragon Ball always ends up creating characters and especially Gods to be surpassed eventually. (And there's still lots of them).

Villains, opponents, whatever. You get my point. Yes Champa was made weaker than Beerus but that's only because he's a lazy fat ass. If i were the creator i wouldn't make a fat character stronger than an anorexic one either. That said, i hope from now on all the Gods of Destruction have the same physique as Beerus!

So are the Kaioshin, and Present Zamasu was considered one of the strongest one of them, even though he was just an apprentice.
GodKaio-Ken wrote:Didn't Beerus even say there are 12 Universe, some with Gods of Destruction more powerful than himself? In the movie I mean?
He just said that he is the Hakaishin of the 7th Universe, and that there could be even more powerful people in the other universes in general. Black said in the manga that he is the most troublesome Hakaishin in all 12 Universes, implying that he is the strongest one.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Are you sure? Toriyama can always create a new transformation angel level or above, if he wants, without any explanation. Remember that the power levels are shit.

I think that Goku/Vegeta will surpass Beerus and Whis at the end of super probably, but not people like Grand Priest or Zeno. Is not necessary.
