Lord Beerus was insert inDragon Ball Superchapter 1 by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou as an older blank space deity whose only purpose in the universe was to keep life in baulk by on a regular basis ( and randomly ) destroying planet . While Beerus was reckon to stay unprejudiced , his love of cuisine almost always prescribe his activity when it amount to destroy a planet or not . If a world had food for thought he liked , Lord Beerus more than likely would n’t demolish it . However , if he ate something on a satellite that repulsed him ( or just was n’t exactly stark for whatever mood he was in),Beerus would blow up the total worldwithout a second ’s disinclination .
