Cell Max is the ultimate form of an incredibly powerful villain
Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
Cell Max may have had a very short time to shine during Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’s Action-packed climax, but that was more than enough to establish that he is an absolute nightmare to face.

However, Vegeta did not master Ultra Ego in the Dragon Ball Super Manga and has a long way to go before rivaling other members of Dragon Ball’s Strongest letters.

Moro, one of Super’s strongest villains

Goku, a mortal who has earned the respect of gods
Debut: Chapter #1 of the Dragon Ball Manga, Episode #1 of the Dragon Ball Anime
Being one of the world’s most popular characters, Goku needs little introduction.

During the Saiyan battles in DBZEnemies as Frieza and Cell observed as Many of Goku’s attacks are more than capable of destroying planetsAnd he became much stronger during his training in DBS. So powerful that his energy almost broke the fabric of the universe while battling Beerus, the god of destruction.

Debut: Chapter #2 of the Dragon Ball Z Manga, Episode #1 of the Dragon Ball Z Anime

According to creator Akira Toriyama, Beast Gohan is stronger than Goku and Vegeta. After unlocking the new form in the Super Hero arc, Gohan easily tanked Cell Max’s devastating punches which made short work of Orange Piccolo.
Despite having little time to shine, Gohan has proven capable of incredible feats when his inner strength is unleashed throughout the franchise. Despite Gohan’s incredible power, it is unclear how he ranks among the series’ strongest fighters. Beast Gohan had an excellent showing against Cell Max, but didn’t have too many times to really show his full power against other threats. A recent sparring match between Gohan and Broly suggests that the two are on a similar level, but the match did not bring the kind of rage that makes the legendary Super Saiyan such a monster in battle.

As the legendary Super Saiyan, Broly has access to primal Saiyan power. Goku and Vegeta do not, and this power makes him practically unstoppable. Even Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta are not enough to beat Broly. It had to be Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta to finally take Broly down – as shown in Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
Broly is so powerful that Lord Beerus was reluctant to let him train on his world for fear of the damage he would do. While later arcs of the Dragon Ball Super Manga saw the rehabilitated Saiyan training on the Destroyer World with Goku and Vegeta, the fact that A literal destroyer god is nervous around Broly is perhaps the most telling aspect of his strength.

Jiren, the pride of Universe 11
Debut: Chapter #30 of the Dragon Ball Super Manga, Episode #85 of the Dragon Ball Super Anime
The final hurdle that awaited Goku and his friends at the end of the Dragon Ball Super Anime was the strongest warrior of Universe 11, Jiren the Gray. While the sequel series struggled to connect many of his arcs in meaningful ways to help set up compelling villains, Jiren was a character that lived up to all the hype his character received during and even before the Tournament of Power began.
Very few fighters forced the strongest pride trooper to take them seriously, and even Ultra Instinct Goku failed to knock Jiren out of bounds. It took a lot of wearing down and the power of teamwork for Goku’s team to finally triumph over Jiren, a foe the series failed to provide much backstory for. The source of Jiren’s outrageous strength is also not clarified, but it is a strength that is rumored to be beyond some Gods of Destruction.

Granola, the ultimate cereal with a strong wish
Debut: Chapter #67 of the Dragon Ball Super Manga 
With the help of many training arcs and the wisdom of incredible teachers, characters like Goku have achieved astonishing strength. The same cannot be said for Granolah, who relied on a couple of Dragon Balls to be the strongest warrior in the universe. Although the wish came true in the end, it came with a drastic drawback: the life of the revenge-hungry orphan will be shortened to another three years.
Such a wish was made to avenge his Cerealian people from the galactic tyrant Frieza, but he would ultimately be manipulated to face off against Ultra Instinct Goku and Vegeta’s newest destroyer form, Ultra Ego. With his new powers and special eyes that give him incredible ki-sniping abilities, Granolah defeated Goku and Vegeta with their godly forms. He eventually became a valuable ally against another enemy who would use the Dragon Balls for an even greater power boost.
8
Gas, the Heather family’s secret weapon
Debut: Chapter #68 of the Dragon Ball Super Manga
Gas served as the ultimate antagonist during Dragon Ball SuperGranola’s arc and proved strong enough to fight Saiyans like Goku’s father, Bardock, from a very young age. Still, his already impressive level of power increased significantly after his own family wished with Dragon Balls that he would become stronger than Granolah. However, the improved power boost was given at the cost of an even shorter life span for gas.
The warrior’s wide range of abilities includes the power to materialize seemingly any object or weapon Gas can think of, telekinesis and unbelievable arms. Much like Broly, Gaz seems to harbor some sort of primal rage power-up that he has struggled to control throughout his life. Even after healing and reaching new levels of strength, Goku and Vegeta struggled against Gaz’s new power. By teaming up with Granolah, Gas is eventually defeated, but he is ultimately reduced to dust with a single blow from one of the franchise’s best characters.

Frieza, the galactic tyrant has risen again
Debut: Chapter #247 of the Dragon Ball Manga, Episode #44 of the Dragon Ball Z Anime
A relatively new transformation for the classic DBZ Big Bad, Frieza debuts his ‘Black Frieza’ form in Dragon Ball Super Chapter #87 and immediately proved his superiority. In this chapter, Black Frieza one-shotted both Goku and Vegeta when they were in the divine states of Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego. Seriously, even Broly couldn’t pull off something like this. In fact, the whole reason Goku, Vegeta and Broly are currently training on Beerus’ world is to become strong enough to challenge Black Frieza, and based on the events of this chapter, it’s uncertain if they will.
Frieza attains this form by Training in a time-displaced pocket dimension similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for ten years. After arriving on the battlefield at the end of the Granola arc, he destroyed a mangled gas with a single blow, then surprisingly spared Goku and Vegeta. What Frieza hopes to achieve with his newfound power must now be clear. Unless the Saiyans train in a similar manner or find a new way to increase their strength, they may never surpass Black Frieza.

Debut: Chapter #504 of the Dragon Ball Manga, Episode #268 of the Dragon Ball Z Anime
Fans got their first satisfying introduction to Goku and Vegeta’s Potara earrings fusion during Dragon Ball pS Bu Arc. Buu absorbed Gohan and Gotenks, and all seemed lost until fans’ dreams came true in a fusion of fan-favorite characters, Goku and Vegeta. Once Vegito appeared, the unstoppable Super BW quickly proved to be out of his league. The strong fusion would return in Dragon Ball Super when An evil god had to be removed.
While the transformation was active, the Fused Warrior was almost untouchable, even against overwhelming foes like Super Buu and the Fused Zamasu. The strength of the two fused warriors is combined, making Vegito easily one of the franchise’s strongest characters; It is a fusion that cannot be achieved unless a pair of Kai’s Potara earrings are available. Plus, both times Goku and Vegeta used the Potara Earrings, it failed to last long enough to defeat their opponents definitively.
