Beyond Goku and Vegeta: The Strongest Characters in Dragon Ball Super Revealed

Dragon Ball Super has dramatically escalated the power levels of its characters, introducing god-tier transformations that dwarf the feats seen in Dragon Ball Z. The series now explores multiverse-level threats and new forms that push fighters far beyond previous limits.

Among the most potent transformations highlighted in the manga are Granolah's Full Power Cerealian, achieved by sacrificing lifespan for ultimate power, and Gas's Awakened Form, also attained through a wish to become the strongest. Granolah, the last of the Cerealian race, once surpassed both Goku's Ultra Instinct and Vegeta's Ultra Ego. Gas, from the Heeter family, later defeated Granolah, Ultra Ego Vegeta, and True Ultra Instinct Goku before being overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of Black Frieza.

In the "Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero" film, Piccolo gained immense power through a wish, reaching a level comparable to Goku and Vegeta post-Granolah arc. His Orange Piccolo form was strong enough to contend with Cell Max, a foe Piccolo believed even Goku and Vegeta would struggle against.

Vegeta's Ultra Ego represents his unique path, drawing inspiration from the Gods of Destruction. Unlike Ultra Instinct's focus on calm reflexes, Ultra Ego thrives on destruction, with Vegeta's power growing the more damage he sustains. This near-limitless potential makes it one of the most formidable forms.

Goku has also mastered his Perfected Ultra Instinct, allowing his body to react independently of thought, enabling automatic evasion and counterattacks. He can even manifest a giant Spirit Avatar made of energy. With this perfected state, Goku possesses few discernible weaknesses in combat. The series also mentions the True Legendary Super Saiyan form, a variation of the traditional powerful Saiyan transformation.
