Cats cosplaying Dragon Ball\u2019s Beerus are adorably taking over TikTok Pexels, Alina Vilchenko \/ Toei AnimationDragon Ball\u2019s Lord Beerus is a God of Destruction, but apparently also divine cosplay inspiration \u2014 as TikTok has been overwhelmed by Sphynx cats going viral while costumed as the fictional deity. As the story goes, Dragon Ball\u2019s original series author, Akira Toriyama, intended for Beerus\u2019s name to be a pun on \u201cbeer,\u201d a beverage which DBZ characters are known to enjoy. Conversely, scriptwriter Yusuke Watanabe intended for the name to be a pun on \u201cvirus.\u201d Fittingly then, Beerus has now gone viral on TikTok, with cute (sometimes grumpy) cats bringing the antagonist to the real world. And, as you might expect, the results are glorious. Beerus, based on Egyptian deities, is a cat-like creature with large ears and hairless purple skin. He rocks a sweet, primarily blue outfit that seems to take inspiration from both the Egyptian gods and DBZ\u2019s typical martial arts garb. Those main components run similarly across each cosplay, but there are some major differences as well. Shared by \u2018cutepetshow\u2019 on TikTok, a video of a cat posing, fully costumed, as Beerus has earned hundreds of thousands of views. Using a filter, the video turns the suddenly bipedal cosplay cat into an impressively drawn addition to a DBZ shot. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dashy_Love\/status\/1359473751033860098 This seems to be based on an original video from a Chinese TikTok, showcasing multiple poses from a perfect little IRL Beerus. While the Sphynx cat lacks Beerus\u2019s muscles, it does seem to fit perfectly into the scene \u2014 surrounded by fellow characters from the Dragon Ball universe.

Set to the tune of Cali Swag District\u2019s \u201cTeach Me How to Dougie,\u201d the cosplay cat brings attitude and props to life. You can even sense a slight desire to reign destruction upon the filmmaking humans in their vicinity. As you can see in bobieooo\u2019s video, Sphynx cats are ideal Beerus cosplayers. Whether it\u2019s looking a little cranky like a proper antagonist or looking wise and mighty, the cat puts convention goers to shame. If anything should be taken away from this new trend, it\u2019s that those attending anime conventions in future years will need to step their games up. Cats are learning to cosplay and\u2026they\u2019re pretty godly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
