While this meeting of the Gods might create a lot of tension, something that’s shared between universes is their intense, near-gluttonous love for food. This episode might briefly toy with the idea of which of these Gods of Destruction is stronger, but in spite of some minor sparring, the question is ultimately left for another day (although Beerus is unquestionably in better shape). Rather than determining which of the two is stronger in the physical sense, Beerus and Champa are instead more interested in proving which universe has the more impressive cuisine. Beerus and Champa give each other’s taste buds a true challenge, but in the end, it’s the incredible power of instant ramen that comes out triumphant. Apparently Champa and Vados have never spent any time with any of Earth’s college students.

This cutthroat love of food ends up leading to the discovery that Universe 6’s Earth has been destroyed through past warfare, which means that this exquisite Earth cuisine is something that’s exclusive to Universe 7. This is news that Champa simply cannot stand for, which leads to the bizarrely beautiful proposition that a tournament be held between Universe 6 and 7, with the winning universe receiving Earth—but more importantly, its food—as the prize. Fortunately for Beerus, Goku and Vegeta haven’t skipped a beat in their training after Frieza’s demise. If these guys are ready for anything at the moment, it’s a test of strength. Now to find the other three members for their team.

Even though Goku is already fantasizing about shooting blasts at Universe 6’s strongest, Beerus is still skeptical towards this whole tournament business. He’s not even sure if such a planet-swapping maneuver can even be done between universes in the first place. It’s at this point that Champa lets loose the information that he’s been quietly collecting the Super Dragon Balls, and with their immense power, it would be able to pull off the conditions of the tournament. It may feel a little hollow for the series to introduce an even stronger set of Dragon Balls (these things are essentially planets), but the minor aside that the Namekian Dragon Balls were actually chiseled out of these makes for a nice touch. It at least provides some connective tissue to what’s been established rather than these giant orbs suddenly existing from out of nowhere.

Once the news of the Super Dragon Balls is out on the table, matters pick up at a considerable tempo. Goku is fairly positive that Bulma will be able to locate the final Super Dragon Ball with a modified version of her Dragon Radar. With all of the pieces appearing to be in place, Beerus is given little choice other than to agree to Champa’s tournament. After all, he can’t look like a coward in front of his twin brother.

For those that have been on the fence with Dragon Ball Super’s previous arcs or even fallen off ship entirely, these episodes are the perfect time to get back on board. There’s so much fun stuff in this new saga, with the can of worms that this multiverse concept opens up only leading to even more encouraging developments. “The 6th Universe’s Destroyer” might technically be setup for the most part, but the episode throws so many new ideas at the audience that this is hardly a problem. There’s a lot to take in and the installment wisely frames it around the comedic squabbling of Beerus and Champa, as well as Goku and Vegeta’s bewilderment over just how many more opponents are suddenly out there for battle.
