Beerus was pretty vague about these other universes, but given that some of them have villains that surpass Freeza/Cell/Majin Buu's power, it would stand to reason that they'd produce stronger versions of Goku and his allies.

  • Android 13 will probably be #12 if this is true, as Dragon Ball Super showed that Universe 6 no longer has an Earth (which would mean it'd be invalid for all of the universe). Even if the Earth was destroyed "recently", it'd still rule out any movie with a Saiyan in it, since Universe 6's Saiyans are supposes to be peace-loving defenders of justice.
    • Er...kind of. They did Expy(s) of various movie-exclusive characters (U6 had Kale and Hit, expies of Broly and Cooler, while U3 had Aniraza, who contained elements of Hatchiyak, Hirudegarn, and Janemba). However, regarding the actual WMG itself, likely jossed, since U6 and U7 are the only universes that seem to have Saiyans.

Freeza would have blown up Planet Vegeta sooner or later anyway; Beerus just made him do it sooner.
In fact, I would guess that Beerus knew Freeza was starting to feel threatened by the Saiyans and told him to destroy them because he figured he was planning to do it anyway (and he felt like being lazy).

So Beerus isn't entirely the cause of Planet Vegeta's destruction, he just determined when it was destroyed.

  • Based on Beerus and first form Frieza's special quotes when fighting each other in Xenoverse, that's exactly how it worked out in any case.

The "7th" universe is ranking.
It seems rather arbitrary that the main DBZ universe gets rank of 7th. So what if it's a ranking system? Each of the twelve universes is ranked based off the average strength of its fighters, and DBZ just happens to be the seventh best. That, or it's based of the rank of its most powerful fighter or God of Destruction. If the former is the case, one could extrapolate the rank of other known universes: Future Trunks, for instance, would have a lower rank(maybe 9th?)
  • Did Beerus actually say they were ranks?
    • There is a ranking system as revealed in Super, but it seems that it's the order they were created in that determines the number a universe is designated as. If the Mortal Level ranking system (the ranking system that was revealed) was how they designated the universes, Universe 7 would actually be Universe 11.

A Superhuman God transformation could be accomplished with 5 righteous humans pouring their feelings into a sixth.
What exactly it'd do, who knows?
  • Two flaws in this that make it unlikely. Humans haven't been shown using ki to transform. Supplementary material says they can access Kaioken, but that's it. The second is that Saiyans get so much focus in the series, it's unlikely that humans would be officially thrown a bone as big as reaching the power of Gods. It's not impossible for them to unlock Godly Ki this way, though.

Beerus is elderly by deity standards.
Super establishes that Gods of Destruction are linked to Gods of Creation, so it would make sense he has a similar lifespan to the Kaioshin(which while millions of years, isn't infinite in scope). He's a contemporary of Old Kai given he sealed him in the sword. While Old Kai looks old because of a fusion, he still dates back 15 Kai generations ago so it's possible he now looks his actual (Kai) age. Then there's the Reality Subtext of how Beerus was based off Toriyama's elderly Cornish Rex Debo. He and Champa are old gods, Champa just happens to have aged better. It's also why Whis is interested in Goku or Vegeta replacing him. It might even be a necessity if he's connected to the current main God of Creation Shin, who's life would be cut short with an elderly god of destruction.
