Quitela

Quitela (キテラ, Kitera) is the God of Destruction of Universe 4. He is accompanied by his attendant and martial arts teacher Cognac.

Appearance[]

Quitela is a small yellow anthropomorphic mouse with large round ears, a thin tail, and a black outline around his eyes. He wears a green striped variation of the typical God of Destruction attire.

Personality[]

Like Beerus, Quitela is rather lazy. However, whereas Beerus does perform his duties (albeit in a reckless haphazard way), Quitela seems to instead prefer playing video games and eating junk food. He is a vain and manipulative god who's willing to use questionable methods to come on top of the competition, as well as having statues with his likeness all around his room. His rivalry with Beerus is greater than that of Champa's, as he seems to have a strong hatred towards Universe 7's God of Destruction, and is often conspiring against him, coming up with several schemes to hinder or outright eliminate him before the Tournament of Power. He is quite intelligent and sneaky, convincing Sidra to use assassins to eliminate Frieza, setting them up to take the blame instead of him. He also seems to be on good terms with his Supreme Kai, Kuru. Quitela tends to do a "Kekeke" laugh whenever he speaks.

Unlike most of the other deities who were stunned and horrified by the Zenos erasure of Universe 9, Quitela was instead unfazed and rather amused, showing that he has no compassion for others. However, when Quitela was about to be erased, he acted hysterical and refused to accept he'd be erased, vowing to take the others with him before he disappeared. Although after all of the erased Universes were restored by Android 17's wish, Quitela is shown to be calmly looking in the same direction as his subordinates (showing that his threat beforehand was just in that moment of fear).

Biography[]

Background[]

In the manga, at some point in time Quitela participated in the All Universe Hide and Seek Tournament held by Zeno. But when Beerus hid and fell asleep for fifty years during the tournament, it had to be cancelled. He and the gods had to calm Zeno down who was furious. Since then, Quitela and the other Gods of Destruction have felt disdain towards Beerus.^[1]

Dragon Ball Super[]

Universe Survival Saga[]

In the anime, Quitela alongside Kuru and Cognac assemble alongside the Gods of all the other 11 Universes, both Zenos, their bodyguards, and the Grand Minister to spectate the Zeno Expo.

In the manga, Quitela was busy playing video games when the Great Priest summoned him. Upon arrival, he noticed Beerus and Champa having an argument and assumed that Beerus was responsible for the match. He was greatly shocked when the Great Priest called all twelve Gods of Destruction into the arena for an exhibition match. However, he took this as a chance to finally prove to Beerus that he was stronger than him, referencing an arm-wrestling match in which Quitela beat Beerus. Quitela joins the other gods in attacking Beerus after it was revealed that the current situation was due to someone from Universe 7. After Belmod kicks Sidra away, Quitela notes the fight is getting more interesting.

Later, Champa contacts his fellow Gods noting the Supreme Kais had previously held a meeting, warning them they better not plan on cheating at the Tournament to which Quitela responds that because Zeno would be watching they'd get erased for trying such a thing. After Heles and Mule question why Beerus wasn't contacted, Quitela notes that Beerus was left out because a mortal from his Universe 7 was the one who brought about the whole Tournament. Sometime before the Tournament of Power, Quitela sends several spies to get info on the other Universes teams. Ganos was sent to Universe 7, who had gathered information on their roster, including their plan to resurrect Frieza. He uses that information to manipulate his twin universe fellow God of Destruction, Sidra of Universe 9 to hire assassins to kill Frieza with the hopes that having only 9 members would lead to Universe 7's disqualification. Just before the Tournament of Power begins, Quitela mocks the fact that Beerus, of all people, would suggest the use of teamwork much to Beerus' annoyance. After Nink fails to eliminate Goku and is eliminated himself, Quitela angrily berates him.

Quitela watched the erasure of Universe 9, but did not show any concern for the universe, instead smiling and focusing on winning the tournament. When Shosa plays dead and surprises Android 18, Quitela calls him wild and cheers him on. After Shosa and later Majora are eliminated, Quitela once again gets frustrated and annoyed. Quitela watched as Master Roshi uses the Evil Containment Wave against Dercori, knocking her out. As Beerus was cheering Master Roshi for knocking her out, Quitela calls out that Master Roshi cheated for having to use an item. They begin walking towards each other as they yell at one another until the Zenos cut their argument in a dark tone and says it was safe.

Quitela later smiles at the fact Beerus is worried about his two unknown fighters. He also appears to be entertained by the fact that Goku was able to reach Ultra Instinct Sign, whereas the other gods were incredibly shocked.

Quitela then gloats when Gamisalas begins to attack the other fighters. However, he quickly grows frustrated when he and later Xiangca get knocked out of the arena. After Damom gets knocked out, Quitela becomes infuriated, attempting to stomp on and possibly kill Damom. He then panics over his fate and proclaims he will use his power to eliminate everyone but is erased by the two Zenos before he could do anything else.

Quitela is later revived with his universe when Android 17 uses the Super Dragon Balls to resurrect all of the universes that were erased.

Super Dragon Ball Heroes[]

Universe Creation Saga[]

Quitela along with the rest of the Gods of Destruction appear at Capsule Corporation in search of Tokitoki after a prediction is made that a strange bird will appear and be responsible for the destruction of all universes and Quitela suggests destroying Earth. The Gods of Destruction prepare to finish off the defenders of Earth, but Beerus halts them, wanting to take responsibility for his own universe. Soon after, with the arrival of Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta, their attention is brought to the Universe Tree which is destroying planets. Realizing that the matter with the bird is now trivial, the Gods of Destruction return to their own universe.

Power[]

Manga and Anime

As with all Gods of Destruction, Quitela is incredibly powerful, possibly only being surpassed in his Universe by his Angel/attendant Cognac.

Notably, in the manga, Quitela was strong enough to defeat Beerus at arm wrestling, though Beerus says that he wouldn't lose to him in hand-to-hand combat and likewise Quitela initially fails to land a hit on the Universe 7 God of Destruction in the Zen Exhibition Match. Quitela takes down Iwan in combat and he, Beerus and Belmod prove to be the last three Gods of Destruction active. However, before Quitela and Beerus' final punches can hit each other, the Grand Minister stops their fight. When Universe 4 was eliminated from the tournament, a spiteful and terrified Quitela was determined to kill all the spectators, implying great confidence in his strength. Whether or not it was baseless remained unknown, as he was erased before he could act.

Techniques and Special Abilities[]

• Flight – The ability to fly with the use of ki.
• Ki Blast – The most basic form of energy wave.
• Hakai - As a God of Destruction, Quitela possesses the ability to destroy anything, which includes Gods and ghosts.
• Life Link - Quitela and Kuru's lives are linked to one another, so if one of them dies, the other will die as well (in a manner similar to Piccolo and Kami) in order to prevent an imbalance between the natural forces of creation and destruction which Quitela and Kuru represent.
• God of Destruction's Cunning - Quitela's super attack in Dragon Ball Heroes and Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission.

Trivia[]

• Quitela's name is an anagram of "Tequila", continuing the alcohol name puns that the Gods of Destruction and their attendants possess.
• Quitela was designed by Akira Toriyama.^[2]
• Quitela and Giin have exactly the same symbols on their God of Destruction garbs.
• Next to Mule, Quitela is the shortest God of Destruction.
• Quitela's relationship with Beerus is a reference to how mice are often hunted by cats, though his relationship with Champa is unclear. In the manga, however, he is shown to have worked with him against Beerus.
• Toyotarou did a sketch of Quitela dressed like Mickey Mouse.
  • This is somewhat ironic given that Disney has reportedly acquired the rights to make a live action Dragon Ball film after acquiring 20th Century Fox, who had international rights for the Dragon Ball franchise by the time of its acquisition.^[3]
