Dragon Ball fans have moved on from the idea of Vegeta as the next God of Destruction after seeing a fanart of his daughter Bulla as Beerus' successor on Halloween. This was posted on X by an artist named @WhirlyDoodle and features Bulla wearing a version of Beerus' outfit while asking for "Hakai or treat," which won over the hearts of many fans.

Moreover, this is a testament to how many Dragon Ball fans want to see more of Bulla and other characters in the series who don't get a lot of attention. This is something worth taking into account because her character didn't have a lot to do in GT and fans are hoping that she'll have a better role to play in the coming installments of the franchise.

The artist named @WhirlyDoodle on X posted a fanart he or she made of Bulla, Vegeta's daughter, as the next Goddess of Destruction and as Beerus' mentor. She is going on Halloween while doing "Hakai or treat", which is a reference to a major God of Destruction technique, and is wearing another version of her mentor's outfit with some Egyptian elements.

This fanart had several positive comments, especially considering that it came out on Halloween and was a fitting theme for that holiday. Moreover, it features a character who doesn't get a lot of exposure in the series. Bulla, who, despite being Bulma and Vegeta's daughter, doesn't have a lot of prominence in the installments she has been a part of.

However, there is no denying that her half-Saiyan blood could give her a lot of potential in terms of being a fighter. There are characters like Gohan, who have proven many times that Saiyan-human hybrids have a lot of potential and can be very powerful, which is why a lot of people would love to see more of Bulla's character.

There have been some scenes in the movies where Beerus has shown a degree of care and affection toward Bulla, which is the genesis of this fanart. This has inspired a lot of fans with the concept of this illustration because many would love to see her fulfill her potential as a fighter and there wouldn't be a better way for her character to grow than being trained by the God of Destruction of Universe 7.

One element that a lot of people have praised Dragon Ball for, which is a rarity in the battle shonen genre, is the fact that the cast grows older in a natural way, have kids and grandkids, and generally follows through the passage of time. Bulla is one of the best examples of that trend, being the daughter of Vegeta and Bulma, who have a lot of history in the series' legacy.
