Dragon Ball Super Reveals How Hakai Gets its Insane Power

Dragon Ball Super has never been shy about its exploration of Beerus, and the God of Destruction is always down to show off his powers. After all, Beerus has spent untold years honing his craft, and Vegeta has started to chomp at the bits to learn them. Now, the manga has finally decided to throw the Saiyan a bone by giving him one-on-one lessons from Beerus, and it turns out the hidden power behind Hakai comes from an interesting spot.

After the previous chapter saw Beerus trying to break Vegeta down in order to clear his mind, Beerus then teased he would be teaching Vegeta how to use Hakai and the other destroyer techniques. The newest chapter of the series officially kicks this off in full as Beerus now is teaching Vegeta Hakai by revealing the inner workings of the technique and its ultimate source of energy and strength.

Chapter 70 of the series begins Vegeta’s training with Hakai, and although he’s starting off with small pebble sized rocks, he’s still having trouble destroying them. As it turns out, it’s because Hakai doesn’t use ki like his other attacks. Beerus explains that when Hakai is used, it completely erases an object out of existence rather than traditional kind of destruction.

When matter is destroyed, it releases energy and that’s the blow back of the destruction itself. So rather than blasting something away, Hakai actually gains energy from erasing something and the explosion is the result. When Vegeta manages to use Hakai on a pebble successfully later, we can see how the resulting explosion has a ton of energy but still not as much as the rock Beerus had destroyed earlier.

So Hakai’s energy comes from how big of an object is when it is erased by the technique. There are still mysteries as to how it works because we’ve seen Hakai used without a resulting explosion in previous events of the series, but it’s been different for the manga’s canon. But as Vegeta learns more, we learn more too so we’ll figure out all there is to know about mastering Hakai in future chapters!
