6 Strongest Destruction Technique Users, Ranked

The Power of Destruction is one of the strongest abilities in Dragon Ball Super. Harnessing Destructive energy, Destruction users can use overwhelmingly powerful techniques like Hakai to literally erase their foes from existence. Had Goku failed to impress Beerus in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, all of Earth would have been destroyed by Universe 7’s God of Destruction.

Destruction is the go-to technique of the Gods of Destruction, but it is possible for mortals to learn Hakai and other destructive abilities by training hard enough (or making a wish on the Dragon Balls). Only a few Dragon Ball characters can actually use Destruction as a technique, but that alone makes them some of the most powerful warriors in the multiverse.

Toppo is a God of Destruction in All But Title

Toppo is the leader of the Pride Troopers and a God of Destruction candidate. Once Belmod retires or dies, Toppo will take over as Universe 11’s God of Destruction and begin his reign. In the Universe Survival Saga, Toppo was strong enough to defeat Goku during the Zeno Exhibition, and would have eliminated Vegeta from the Tournament of Power had the Prince of All Saiyans not unlocked Super Saiyan Blue Evolved.

Toppo’s Destroyer Form radically raises his Power Level and mixes his God Ki with Destructive power. Toppo has strong mastery over Destruction, and is able to use Hakai to hurt his opponents without outright erasing them – showing amazing control over his power. In a life or death fight, Destroyer Form Toppo probably could have killed Vegeta with his Hakai alone, but the Tournament of Power’s rules would have forced him to hold back.

Granolah Learned Hakai When He Became Strongest in the Universe

By wishing on the Cerealian Dragon Balls, Granolah became the strongest person in Universe 7, exchanging most of his remaining lifespan in exchange for ultimate power. Granolah only has three years left to live at the end of the Granolah the Survivor Saga, and one of the most powerful beings in existence. Shortly after getting his power-up, Granolah uses Destruction without fully understanding how the technique works.

While Granolah himself is much stronger, his version of the Hakai is much weaker than Toppo’s, in large part because he doesn’t understand how to use Destructive abilities. Toppo trained to become a Destroyer, while Granolah simply wished himself stronger. By the end of the arc, however, Granolah begins to adapt to the ability and can actually use Destruction just as well as Beerus, instantly turning anything in his path into ash.

Gas Can Do Everything Granolah Can Do – But Better

Granolah’s time as the strongest being in Universe 7 doesn’t last long. After Elec learns that Granolah used the Dragon Balls to make himself stronger, he heads to Cereal, summons Toronbo, and wishes for his brother Gas to become the strongest warrior in the universe. Unlike Granolah’s wish, which directly traded life for power, Elec’s wish on the Dragon Balls ages up Gas anytime someone surpasses him, exchanging his remaining years in real-time to adapt to stronger foes.

Gas has access to every single ability Granolah does, getting the same boost from the Dragon Balls but on a much more extreme scale. Gas never masters Destruction to the same level Granolah does, but he’s far stronger in terms of base Power Level and even his weaker version of the Hakai can deal serious damage. If Gas wasn’t so hesitant to use his new powers and win on his own merits, he might have been able to erase Granolah, Goku, and Vegeta with his newfound Destructive abilities.

Goku Almost Erased Fused Zamasu With an Improvised Hakai

Destruction isn’t Goku’s speed, especially since he dedicates most of his time in Dragon Ball Super to mastering the strongest versions of Ultra Instinct, an angel technique. That said, Goku is still a fighting genius, and it only takes him one glance to immediately understand how to imitate a technique. During the Dragon Ball Super manga’s Goku Black Saga, Goku pulls out a Hakai while fighting Fused Zamasu. Despite having no Destruction training whatsoever, Goku erases half of Zamasu’s body.

The only thing that stops Goku from erasing Zamasu right then and there is the fact that he pulls in Mai as a hostage, forcing Goku to stop. Beerus does later inform Goku that even a Hakai cannot erase an immortal foe, but the ash covering half of Zamasu’s body suggests otherwise. Goku has no interest in being a God of Destruction or using Destructive powers, so even though he’s one of the strongest Hakai users in the series, it’s unlikely he’ll be dipping back into the technique. Especially since his mastery of Ultra Instinct grows stronger with every arc.

Vegeta is Slowly Mastering The Art of Destruction By Training With Beerus

Vegeta’s got some great years ahead of him once the Dragon Ball Super anime remake finally begins airing in the Fall and sets up Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol. Not only has Vegeta officially beaten Goku in a fair fight as of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Beerus has taken him on as his personal student. In the Granolah the Survivor Saga, Vegeta starts training under Beerus and learning how to use Destruction as a technique.

Beerus even gives Vegeta a God of Destruction earring, representing his growth. While fighting Granolah, Vegeta channels all his Destuctive energy into a new form, Ultra Ego. Ultra Ego Vegeta is the mortal with the best mastery of Destruction in Dragon Ball. Using Hakai for straight-up erasure isn’t Vegeta’s style. Instead, he opts to use Destruction as a means to damage his foes and give him an opening to deal his own breed of destructive damage.

Beerus & The Gods of Destruction Are the Ultimate Users of Destruction

There is no better Destroyer in Dragon Ball Super than Beerus. All Gods of Destruction know how to use Hakai, but Beerus turns it into an art form. Beerus has total control over his Destruction, something fans saw as early as Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods when he used his Hakai to lightly destroy a part of Earth (keeping the planet fully intact).

If Beerus wanted to, he’d be able to erase any enemy (even Black Frieza). Beerus has to constantly hold himself back when training with Goku and Vegeta, but the Saiyans are slowly closing the gap. Beerus’ mastery of Destruction is so slick, he’s even able to use a Hakai that hits Vegeta head-on, only destroying part of his armor.
