Goku v/s Beerus: The 3 different versions


Goku and Beerus' fight gave us quite the chills when we first saw our beloved Saiyan attain a new form, Super Saiyan God. In fact, we got to see this fight three times, first in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, then in the anime Dragon Ball Super and then in the manga. Yes, the manga came a little later in this case, but went ahead as it didn't include the adaptation of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. However, there are quite a few notable differences in all the three variants of this fight.

1. MOVIE

In the movie, during their fight, Goku loses his Super Saiyan God form and continues to fight in his base form, and then turns Super Saiyan. Then Goku and Beerus take the fight to the stratosphere and Beerus releases a giant energy blast that almost looks like the sun. Goku tries to prevent it from hitting the earth, and while doing so, loses his Super Saiyan form and goes back to his base form. However, soon after this, he has an awakening of some kind and transforms into the Super Saiyan God once again, this time without the ritual, and manages to cancel out Beerus' energy blast.

Then, Beerus admits that Goku is the second strongest opponent he had ever faced and even calls him a prodigy. Goku then passes out and Beerus takes him back to the Earth. Beerus then says that a destroyer must keep his word and hence he will have to destroy the earth. He then fires a small energy blast to a rock nearby and says that he destroyed the Earth, but just a part of it and not the full planet.

2. ANIME

In the anime, Goku loses his Super Saiyan God form just like the movie, and continues to fight as a Super Saiyan. When they go to the stratosphere, Beerus fires his energy blast and it goes pretty much the same as the movie. However, this time Goku doesn't regain his God form, and cancels out Beerus' energy blast in his base form.

Goku then passes out and instead of Beerus taking him back to Earth, he falls down through the atmosphere and Vegeta catches him. Beerus then says that a destroyer must keep his word and proceeds to destroy the Earth, but falls asleep. It is later revealed that Beerus was actually pretending to be asleep. This was quite a major difference to the story.

3. MANGA

In the manga, things are a bit too different. In the manga, Goku loses his Super Saiyan God form only when he cancels out Beerus' energy blast, and here, Beerus openly says that he will not destroy Earth this time. This is quite a major change to both the former versions of the fight.

Which version of this epic battle was your favourite? Feel free to tell me in the comments!

Tokyo Revengers: Takemichi is not the only Time Leaper

The Tokyo Revengers manga is on it's final arc right now, and the series has seen quite drastic changes to the characters and the plot as well. However, the plot twist that Tokyo Revengers: Chapter 256  has indicated might be the biggest one so far. During his fight with Kakucho, Takemichi had a vision and comes to know that Haruchiyo Sanzu is planning to kill everyone by running them over by a train. Takemichi and Kakucho form a temporary truce and go to stop Sanzu. After a few more events, Takemichi boards the train to stop Sanzu, and has another vision where Sanzu stabs him with his sword from behind. Takemichi quickly dodges this attack, which leave Sanzu wondering, as he had attacked from a complete blind spot and there was no way Takemichi could have dodged that. Sanzu then says, "Are you a Time Leaper too?" We didn't get to know what Sanzu really meant by this because he is then pushed off the train by Kakucho. What do you think? Could H...

Dragon Ball Z: Who told Frieza about the Super Saiyan?

We all know how much Frieza was scared of the Legendary Super Saiyan showing up one day. In fact, the galactic emperor went so far as to attempt to wipe out the entire Saiyan race by destroying their home planet. Ironic, how Frieza is defeated by the same thing he feared. But how in the first place, did Frieza even come to know about this legendary golden haired warrior? Well, the story starts when Frieza blows up Planet Vegeta. Remember this one Saiyan who tried to stop Frieza? Yep. I'm talking about Bardock, Goku's father. Well, Bardock tried to stop Frieza, but ultimately failed. Frieza blew him up with an energy blast and Bardock seemingly died. But that wasn't the case. According to the manga Dragon Ball Z: Episode of Bardock, somehow, Bardock gets transported to the past. He finds himself on a planet that is similar to Planet Vegeta, only to find no Saiyans, instead, there are other beings inhabiting the planet. Bardock notices these beings ref...

Dragon Ball Super: Gas might not be the universe's strongest warrior

Gas is the most recent antagonist from the manga, and sure gave Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah a pretty hard time. Although most of us thought that he was the universe's strongest warrior as had been predicted by the Oracle Fish in Dragon Ball Super: Chapter 70,  recent events say that this might not be the case. After Vegeta transfers his remaining energy to him, Goku goes on to fight Gas, but is indeed stalling for time. He does so by teleporting to various different places and planets using Instant Transmission as Gas follows him. It is actually a trap, as our beloved Saiyan is slowly taking Gas away from the others. Goku finally takes Gas to Beerus' planet, where they meet Whis. Goku, having a greater prowess over Instant Transmission, teleports to Planet Cereal where the others are, leaving Gas with Whis. Whis, however, does not interfere and lets Gas leave. This takes place in Dragon Ball Super: Chapter 82. After Gas leaves, Whis makes a comment that G...
