The Dragon Ball franchise is quite popular among manga and anime consumers across the globe. Certain aspects of this franchise make it worthy of getting into the hall of fame of manga and anime if there is ever going to be one. One of those aspects is surely the fights or action sequences throughout the franchise. Not all installments in the Dragon Ball franchise might be as perfect as Dragon Ball Z (DBZ) in terms of plot and overall storytelling. However, when it comes to creating breathtaking fight sequences, the manga and anime aficionados can always count on the Dragon Ball franchise to deliver.

Now, one might wonder what it is that makes the said fight sequences in the franchise so good. Well, to a great extent, visually good fights are mainly credited to two aspects - the first is flawless animation and the second is unconventional and an outside-the-box move set provided to the characters, that involves attacks that are a treat to the eyes of the viewers. Dragon Ball excels in the aspects mentioned above, especially the latter. One such attack or move that got almost every viewer going crazy was the God of Destruction, Beerus' Sphere of Destruction. Let's analyze this unique and fascinating move from Beerus' arsenal.

The Essence of Destruction

Beerus

Beerus' Sphere of Destruction is a devastating technique introduced in the Dragon Ball Super series, used primarily by Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7. This technique serves as one of Beerus' signature moves and is emblematic of his immense power and authority within the Dragon Ball universe.

The history of Beerus' Sphere of Destruction traces back to the concept of destruction inherent to his role as a deity tasked with maintaining balance in the cosmos. Due to his role as the God of Destruction, Beerus possesses the ability to unleash cataclysmic levels of energy capable of obliterating entire planets and civilizations. The Sphere of Destruction is the physical manifestation of this power, a concentrated orb of energy capable of annihilating anything it comes into contact with.

In terms of strength, Beerus' Sphere of Destruction is considered one of the most potent techniques in the Dragon Ball series, capable of eradicating even the most formidable adversaries with ease. Its destructive power is above other iconic techniques such as Goku's Spirit Bomb and Vegeta's Final Flash, cementing Beerus' status as one of the most powerful warriors in the vast Dragon Ball universe.

Is Beerus The Only One Who Can Use It?

While Beerus is the primary user of the Sphere of Destruction, other characters who know how to use the same attack include the Gods of Destruction from other universes, using their own variations of the Sphere of Destruction or Beerus Ball; the leader of the Pride Troopers from Universe 11, Top, has used this attack against Vegeta during the Tournament of Power; Vegeta also knows how to use this attack as he learned it from Beerus himself and even used it against Granolah in the manga. Others have also demonstrated the ability to harness similar destructive energy. One notable example is Frieza, the series' iconic antagonist, who showcases a technique known as the Death Ball, which bears striking similarities to Beerus' Sphere of Destruction in both appearance and function. This suggests that the ability to manipulate destructive energy is not exclusive to Beerus but is rather a characteristic of powerful entities within the Dragon Ball universe.

The Sphere of Destruction serves as a potent symbol of Beerus' authority and power as the God of Destruction. Its utilization not only showcases his formidable combat abilities but also reinforces his role as a cosmic arbiter capable of shaping the fate of entire universes. As such, the Sphere of Destruction plays a crucial role in defining Beerus' character and his significance within the broader narrative of Dragon Ball Super. As one of Beerus' signature moves, the Sphere of Destruction stands as a testament to his unrivaled power and authority as a deity capable of reshaping the very fabric of reality with a single devastating attack.

The Dragon Ball manga is available to read on Viz and the Dragon Ball anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
