No. While Goku has undeniably closed the gap, Beerus remains superior to Goku.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Beerus's Power Level is Still Higher: Despite Goku's various transformations, including Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-Ken x20 (SSJB KKx20), Beerus still holds a significant power advantage. Beerus has never been shown going all out, implying a power ceiling far exceeding Goku's current capabilities.
-
Ultra Instinct Factor: The reference attempts to remove Ultra Instinct from the equation, but it's crucial to remember that Beerus has also shown glimpses of Ultra Instinct, albeit imperfectly. This suggests a capacity for further growth on Beerus's part.
-
God of Destruction Hax: Beerus possesses abilities beyond raw power, such as Hakai (destruction), which is a technique that can erase beings from existence. Goku currently lacks an equivalent ability.
-
Experience and Knowledge: Beerus has lived for millions of years and possesses vast cosmic knowledge and combat experience that Goku simply doesn't have.
-
Whis's Training: The reference implies that Beerus lacks the focus and training to beat Goku, but this is flawed. Beerus trains regularly with Whis, who is vastly more powerful than even Beerus, ensuring ongoing improvement. The training Goku receives is often a direct result of Whis's tutelage of Beerus.
In conclusion, while Goku has become incredibly powerful, Beerus remains stronger due to his higher power level, hax abilities, greater experience, and continuous training.
