What makes Zamasu so brave is that he is willing to go against Beerus himself to achieve this goal. Even after being found out in the current timeline, he makes a brave yet foolhardy move to end Beerus' life, which predictably leads to his eradication.

One of Vegeta’s notable traits is his pride, which may be foolhardy at times, but still helps him push his limits and bravely face any threat. This can translate to some cocky moments where he talks down to Android 18 and Cell, only to be schooled by them in no time.
1Son Goku
A Powerful Saiyan Who Will Never Back Away From A Fight
