Destruction is the signature technique used by Hakaishin, which allows the user to instantaneously erase a target from existence.[1] A symbol of being able to use the technique is a piece of jewellery, which a handful of gods wear as earrings.[2]
Usage[]
Destruction appearing as an explosion.
Beerus, who uses this as his signature technique and can tweak it to partially erase a target, regards being able to use it by first destroying any stray thoughts and recreate oneself from scratch, as before creation comes destruction.[3]
A user occasionally utters the word "Destruction" (破壊, Hakai; FUNimation "Hakai") when using the technique.[4] Beerus was shown to be able to eliminate revenants, and gag-comic characters. Sidra's application was distinctly different where he was able to use it to destroy everything within a certain area, destroying an entire civilization.
Son Gokū initially relied on channelling his remaining strength to his palm to use the technique,[5] but eventually could use it with ease.[6]
In Other Media[]
Video Games[]
Destruction used in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
In Dragon Ball FighterZ, if Beerus' Transcendent Headshot would kill Gokū Black or Merged Zamasu, Destruction is used instead. This marks its first appearance within video game media.
Trivia[]
- Destruction has had different portrayals between media. Within the manga, it either appears as an explosion or disintegration into sand. However, in the anime Destruction is depicted as atomizing the target.
- This technique has been questioned to be Magic.[7]
