Dragon Ball Super finally sets up Goku & Vegeta's final battle against the most powerful god

Dragon Ball Super began with Goku and Vegeta battling Beerus, so it's only fitting that the series ends with the Saiyans getting another chance to fight the multiverse's strongest god of destruction. At the beginning of Dragon Ball Superthere was no chance in HFIL Goku and Vegeta would have been able to beat Beerus. Beerus' power level has even been stopped from needing 70% of his full power to fight Super Saiyan God Goku in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Godsto barely try in Dragon Ball Super anime and manga.

Goku and Vegeta have only grown stronger since the start Dragon Ball Superhowever. Now that they have access to Perfected Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego respectively, Goku and Vegeta have become gods on par with the most powerful beings in Dragon Ball multiverse. With Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will air later this year and the Dragon Ball Super manga sets up the Black Frieza Saga, the franchise is getting fans ready for Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta's final showdown with the ultimate warrior: Beerus.

Dragon Ball Super can't end without Goku & Vegeta's rematch with Beerus

Goku and Vegeta have spent everything Dragon Ball Super train and grow stronger specifically so they can one day surpass Beerus. Beerus has been their biggest motivator since the start of the series, and each arc makes a point to highlight how much more powerful Beerus still is compared to the Saiyans. That said, the gap between them and Beerus has narrowed. From Dragon Ball Super: Brolyboth Broly and Gogeta were implied to be strong enough to rival Beerus.

Now that Goku has mastered Perfected Ultra Instinct and Vegeta has unlocked Ultra Ego, they are the closest they've ever been to matching Beerus in terms of power. Whis has long believed that Goku and Vegeta could easily fight Beerus on the same level as long as they work together. At this point, they have a real chance to actually overwhelm Beerus in a joint effort. Beerus is also a master of both Ultra Instinct and Hakai, making him the perfect final challenge to gauge how much Goku and Vegeta have grown since then. Battle of Gods.

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus will remind everyone how powerful the God of Destruction really is

Dragon Ball Super: Beerus' Fall 2026 is going to be a big deal. Not only is Dragon Ball Super finally get a long-awaited remake that fixes the series' animation, tightens the pace and adds exclusive scenes from the manga, Dragon Ball Super: Beerus feels like the franchise's way of reminding fans just how strong Beerus really is. It's easy to forget, but Beerus hasn't been in a serious fight since the start Dragon Ball Super.

Seeing Beerus overwhelm both Vegeta and Goku will put into perspective how far ahead he is of both Saiyans. Rumor has it that the remake will keep its Dragon Ball Super: Beerus title for each story arc, rather than rebranding. This suggests that Beerus will remain a main character throughout the story, slowly building up to his final rematches with Goku and Vegeta when Dragon Ball Super manga returns.

The Black Frieza Saga will be the turning point for Beerus' end game

The Dragon Ball Super manga took a hiatus with the release of Chapter 104, but all signs point to Toyotarou's revival Dragon Ball Super manga sooner rather than later. When Dragon Ball Super manga returns, the Z-Fighters will face their biggest challenge yet: Black Frieza. Black Frieza is the strongest League of Death in the multiverse, and a legitimate threat to both Beerus and the rest of the gods. At worst, Black Frieza asserts his power by killing Beerus at the beginning of the story.

Alternatively, Black Frieza may have become so powerful that the only way to stop him is to make him Universe 7's God of Destruction in order to reign in his harsh, destructive power. Both scenarios set the stage for Goku and Vegeta's rematch with Beerus. If Black Frieza really does kill Beerus, he'll have to be revived and – when he is – he'll want to prove to Goku and Vegeta that he's still on top. Giving up his position to Frieza, Beerus is now a free man ready to deal with Goku and Vegeta once and for all. One way or another, all roads lead to Goku and Vegeta fighting Beerus one last time at the end of Dragon Ball Super.
