Peru is a fictional character in the Japanese animated television series Dragon Ball Super and its companion manga series written by Toyotarō. Peru makes his debut in Dragon Ball Super Episode 78, broadcast on 12 February 2017 on Fuji TV, as the Kaiōshin of Universe 2.

Biography

Peru works out to build his physique, and heart his burns for the battles of Universe 2's maidens of love.

Tournament of Power

Peru's character design for the Tournament of Power.

When the Great Priest informs the gods of each universe about the upcoming Tournament of Power, he invites them to attend the Zen Exhibition Match to sate the curiosity of the Omni-King from the future, who has never seen a martial arts tournament. The Great Priest creates an arena in a void that appears to be located beneath the Omni-King's palace, and brings in the gods from all the other universes to observe the match. Peru is in attendance along with the God of Destruction Helles and her Angel Souwa.

After the exhibition match is concluded, Cae hosts a video call meeting of all the Kaiōshin from the Universe 11 Kaiōshin Realm. He asks them all to keep the news about the Tournament of Power secret from the inhabitants of their universes. Gowasu agrees that this is a good idea, but he wonders where Shin is. Cae explains that he excluded Shin because the tournament was Universe 7's idea. Rou says that Cae is wasting their time; he is busy trying to find more fighters for the tournament, and he leaves the call. Huwa yawns ostentatiously, and Peru admonishes him. The tournament sounds fun, and he is sure that Universe 2 will survive. Ea disagrees; Universe 3 has intellect. Peru says that only battle power matters. Ea says he cannot stand musclebound idiots. Peru and Ea continue to bicker, and Cae asks them to calm down. Kur finds their display pathetic.

Cae proposes that they ask the Omni-Kings to reconsider the tournament; surely if they tell him their consensus opinion, he will give them a reprieve until they can raise their mortal levels above 7. Ea and Peru think this is foolish; the Omni-Kings have already decided. Kur warns that if the suggestion displeases the Omni-Kings, they could all be erased on the spot. Kur says that he is busy, Huwa yawns again, and Gowasu says he agrees with Kur. The Kaiōshin all leave the call.

Name

Peru's name pun is unknown, but many Kaiōshin appear to have been named after deities, and Perun (ペルーン/Perūn), the god of thunder and lightning in Slavic mythology, is a likely source for his name. The character name drops the last character of the katakana used to write "Perun" in Japanese. Note that Perun is one of many mythological deities (such as Perkūnas, Persephone, Perseus, etc.) whose name begins with "Per" and is written with ペル (peru) in Japanese.

Performance

Peru is voiced by Kōzō Shioya, the voice of Majin Boo. Shioya also voiced Gurd in Dragon Ball Z, and several minor roles going back to the original Dragon Ball series. In the Funimation dub, Peru is voiced by Charlie Campbell, who voiced several minor roles in Dragon Ball Kai including North Kaiōshin.
