Most Powerful Characters in Dragon Ball Z: Who Is the Most Well-known Character!

By Joseph Last updated Jun 9, 2022

The saga of Son Goku and his friends as they protect Earth from a variety of evil powers is continued in the next installment of the Dragon Ball series, which is known as Dragon Ball Z and is a sequel to the original Dragon Ball series.

Because there are a lot of frightening enemies that can put the safety of Earth in jeopardy, the heroes we choose to protect it need to have an equal amount of strength and power. As a result of this, it will be fascinating to find out who the most powerful warriors in the Dragon Ball Z series are. And with that, let’s take a look at the top ten most powerful characters from Dragon Ball Z!

Super Buu

Super Buu was a particularly dangerous form of Buu that was formed when Evil Buu ate Good Buu. This Super Buu had a tremendous amount of power, but an equally terrifying disposition. It was easy for this form of Buu to become enraged, and legend has it that if his anger reached a certain level, he could even tear down the borders between dimensions.

In addition to his power and his maniacal personality, what made Super Buu such a significant threat was his capacity to absorb the power of other warriors. He was even able to consume Gotenks, which is the fusion form of Gohan and Trunk, as well as Piccolo and Ultimate Gohan. Naturally, it’s possible that Super Buu won’t pose much of a challenge to Super Saiyan Blue Goku or Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta.

But getting back to the beginning of the story, Super Buu was an extremely terrifying entity who could only be defeated by Vegito, the fusion form of Goku and Vegeta.

Ultimate Gohan

Gohan was the first kid that Goku had, and it was speculated that he would be the one to outshine his father. Gohan was able to demonstrate his potential by reaching Super Saiyan Level 2 while the Perfect Cell Saga was ongoing. This was quite remarkable because, to our knowledge, no other Saiyan has ever been capable of doing that before.

During the story of Majin Buu, the Old Kai was the one who assisted Gohan in realizing his full potential. Gohan would have a much easier time reaching Super Saiyan Level 3 if he were to awaken this latent power.

Additionally, even if he had not been to the level of Super Saiyan Level 3, he would have possessed a tremendous amount of strength in his Ultimate Gohan form. This Ultimate power that Gohan possessed was so strong that it was even capable of posing a threat to Super Buu, one of the most formidable foes in Dragon Ball Z.

Kid Buu

Kid Buu was the primary adversary in the story arc known as the Kid Buu Saga. He was also likely one of the most formidable enemies that Goku and his allies had to confront. Kid Buu possessed a trait that was quite similar to the connotation that we can draw from his name, which is that he was exceedingly childlike. He was very much like a pampered brat, but what made him much worse was the fact that he lacked any kind of conscience or remorse.

Kid Buu had a relatively restricted vocabulary when he was younger since he frequently spoke in a childlike manner, using expressions such as “Me Buu, kill you!” Do not confuse him for a simple youngster even though he may sound like a child.

Kid Buu was the most powerful iteration of Buu, in addition to being the most innocent and evil. Not just because of his strength, but also because of his maniacal nature, he was one of the most deadly opponents that Goku had ever encountered. His insane trait combined with his vicious, psychotic desire for destruction made him one of the most dangerous opponents Goku had ever faced.

Hirudegarn

Hirudegarn was originally a statue of a Demon God that cleansed the hearts of humans living on the planet Konats. However, over time, he became corrupted by magicians from the Kashgar race and evolved into the terrifying adversary of Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon. The Hirudegarn is a terrifying monster that exists for the sole purpose of annihilating everything in its path. To a certain extent, it is a truly mindless destroyer without any feelings, guilt, or sorrow.

As seen in the episode “Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon,” the Hirudegarn colossus is a shapeshifting monster that possesses an incredible amount of strength. It is possible for it to easily defeat Super Saiyan Level 2 Gotenks when it is in its final form. After Super Saiyan Level 3 Gotenks fired his Continuous Die Die Missile at Hirudegarn, the colossus was only temporarily halted in its assault for a short period. Dragon Fist, Goku’s ultimate attack, was necessary for him to reach Super Saiyan Level 3 to defeat Hirudegarn in the finale.

Janemba

In the movie Dragon Ball Z Fusion Reborn, Janemba played the role of the primary antagonist. On the surface, Janemba appeared to be a yellow monstrosity that was obese and had strange holes on his shoulders and stomach. However, in reality, he was an actual embodiment of evil. He was a malevolent monster that was so powerful that he could even best Super Saiyan Level 3 Goku and Vegeta.

When he was in his original form as a chubby monster, a Super Saiyan Level 3 was able to defeat him with relative ease. When he transformed into his second form, though, things became incredibly difficult. His body transformed into that of a humanoid with red skin and purple armor when he took on his second form.

His power also greatly grew, to the point that even with Goku and Vegeta working together at the Super Saiyan 3 level, they were unable to defeat him. To overcome his formidable strength, Goku and Vegeta had to join forces and form Gogeta to win the battle.

Goku

Although Goku and Vegeta share the title of most popular Dragon Ball Z character of all time, Goku is by far the more well-known of the two.

Golden Frieza

As the primary adversary of the Frieza Saga, Frieza was initially shown to the public in the Dragon Ball Z television anime series. His downfall at the hands of Goku, followed by Future Trunk’s dismemberment of him, brought an end to his reign as the conqueror of planets. Nevertheless, in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F, this terrifying antagonist, at last, made his comeback as a stronger and more depraved foe than he had been in previous incarnations.

Frieza was resurrected by the power of the Dragon Balls thanks to his lackeys’ work after being defeated by Future Trunk. This was made possible by the Dragon Balls. He recognized that he would require stronger power after learning that his mortal foe, Son Goku, had accomplished a variety of accomplishments and even stronger power, and he was aware of these facts.

And for the very first time in his life, he made a genuine commitment to his training in the sincere belief that he could one day defeat Goku.

Frieza’s time had finally come, and he was able to transform into the even more powerful Golden Frieza form, which was capable of competing with even Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue.

Frieza was finally defeated by Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta by the time Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F came to a close. Because of this, Frieza was driven to the point where he had no choice but to wipe out all life on Earth. Without the ability to warp time that Whis possesses, both Earth and Vegeta have no chance of surviving.

Vegeta

At the beginning of the series, Vegeta was presented as a nefarious Saiyan Prince who plotted to take control of Earth. That is, until Goku vanquished him, at which point he grew immensely arrogant and proud of his strength, and Vegeta eventually became Goku’s adversary. Vegeta has dedicated his life to becoming stronger than Goku, and as a result, he has attained both the Super Saiyan and the Super Saiyan Level 2 titles. However, because Goku already possessed Super Saiyan Level 3, he was unable to advance to that level.

Despite this, Vegeta was still capable of becoming a Super Saiyan Blue and was able to compete on an equal level with Golden Frieza. Or, to put it another way, he was even superior to Golden Frieza, which resulted in Frieza being left with no alternative but to wipe off the entire planet. Nevertheless, Vegeta was a great warrior with Goku, and it was owing to the fusion forms that Vegeta and Goku shared that they were able to overcome several perilous adversaries.

Son Goku

Goku is our primary protagonist throughout the entirety of the Dragon Ball Z series, and he is without a doubt the most powerful mortal hero in the series (excluding fusion forms like Vegito or Gogeta). He is likely the first surviving Saiyan to achieve numerous stages of Super Saiyan, particularly the Super Saiyan Blue that he attained in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods.

Son Goku exemplifies the archetype of a selfless and self-sacrificing hero since he does not seek power, control, or wealth for himself. His primary objective is to become skilled in martial arts so that he would be able to defend the planet when the time comes.

Throughout the series, he has engaged in combat with a wide variety of formidable adversaries, and he has demonstrated a high level of resourcefulness. Goku can engage in one-on-one combat with practically every character in Dragon Ball Z thanks to his iconic Kamehameha attack, the Spirit Bomb, and the Kaioken technique, which is a double-edged technique. As a result, one may argue that he comes in at number three on our list.

Beerus

A humanoid entity with the appearance of an Egyptian cat, Beerus frequently dresses in Egyptian attire. Even while he might appear to be a child, you should in no way underestimate him based merely on his appearance. In reality, he is a God of Destruction from Universe 7, and his mission in life is to wipe out any planet in the cosmos that threatens the delicate equilibrium of the cosmos.

Since a God of Destruction, Beerus possesses incredible strength and power (as he is capable of effortlessly destroying a planet), and it would appear that he is capable of easily taking down every character in Dragon Ball Z except Whis, who is his trainer.

In the episode “Battle of Gods” from Dragon Ball Z, Beerus emerged from his rest and began searching for a new warrior who could vanquish Frieza. Eventually, Beerus located Goku and put him through a test of strength in a battle. Goku attempted to fight Beerus in Super Saiyan Level 3, but despite his best efforts, he was soundly defeated.

After some time had passed, Goku attained the might of a Super Saiyan God and engaged in battle with Beerus once more. Even though Goku was able to keep fighting for longer than Beerus, he had no chance of winning this fight against him. Despite this, Beerus was pleased with his victory over Goku and decided to not destroy Earth as a result of their fight.

Whois

Aside from the fact that he is Beerus’s instructor in many forms of martial art, we do not know anything lot about What’s personal history. The complete degree of What’s power has never been shown, but based on what we’ve seen so far, he is likely the most powerful character in Dragon Ball Z. The true level of What’s power has never been fully disclosed.

In the episode “Battle of Gods” from Dragon Ball Z, Beerus remarked that Goku was merely the second most powerful opponent he had ever fought. Taking all of this into consideration, the most formidable adversary that Beerus has faced is without a doubt Whis.

It would appear that Whis possesses extraordinarily rapid speed as well as the ability to turn back the hands of time. As an illustration, in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F, Whis transported Goku and his allies back in time to three minutes before Frieza’s destruction of the world. And as a direct result of that, Goku was able to kill Frieza with a single stroke from the God Kamehameha, which ultimately prevented Frieza from destroying the planet.

Even though we haven’t seen much of What’s full power in Dragon Ball Super, it is safe to say that he is one of the most powerful characters in the Dragon Ball universe. This is even more powerful than Lord Beerus.
