Dragon Ball Super may soon be getting into the long-obscured history between Lord Beerus and the Saiyan race that Goku and Vegeta come from. That’s at least the prevailing theory now that Dragon Ball fans have gotten a look at the storyboards for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super manga chapter 69, which reveals more about the growing intrigue of Lord Beerus seemingly choosing to mentor Vegeta in the ways of a Destroyer God. Apparently, part of that mentoring process will involve some conversation between Beerus and Vegeta, in which the former begins to question Saiyan history and nature, with pointed purpose.

Meanwhile, Beerus asks Vegeta how many planets the Saiyans have destroyed. Vegeta says the Saiyans were born for combat, but only started destroying planets on a regular basis once they joined up with Freeza…

Beerus asks if he’s trying to blame all the Saiyans’ sins on Freeza, but Vegeta says he’s not. King Vegeta started it off in his quest for authority, and this ultimately led to the Saiyans’ destruction.

So it was the Saiyans’ fate to be destroyed? Beerus finds the idea stupid. Vegeta is puzzled: Beerus said he was going to show him a God of Destruction’s technique(s), so what’s that have to do with the Saiyans’ past? Beerus says it’s deeply related.
