6 Dragon Ball Characters Who Outrank Goku and Vegeta in Power

For many years, Dragon Ball has established Goku and Vegeta as the most formidable warriors in the universe. Even in the latest chapters, these Saiyans continue to surpass previous power limits they thought were unattainable. However, amidst various rivals that they face, some characters inherently possess power that surpasses their own.

Since the advent of Dragon Ball Super, Goku and Vegeta have encountered a plethora of formidable beings that have redefined the landscape of strength and competition. This series unveiled a stratified universe full of powerful entities that were previously unknown during the Dragon Ball Z era. With a broader universe and higher peaks of power being established, it is not surprising that several characters now surpass even the legendary Saiyans.

6 Black Frieza

An Instant Power Surge: Black Frieza

Frieza’s resurrection within the series and his emergence into forms like Golden Frieza and Black Frieza solidify his position as one of the greatest villains of the franchise. After training rigorously for a decade in a realm akin to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he made a swift reappearance in the Dragon Ball Super manga. Upon his arrival, Black Frieza effortlessly dominates Goku’s Ultra Instinct and Vegeta’s Ultra Ego, illustrating a staggering power gap that leaves both Saiyans in the dust.

Frieza’s multiple returns throughout the series showcase his relentless evolution in strength, consistently matching and sometimes exceeding the Saiyans’ growth. With the introduction of Black Frieza, Goku and Vegeta may face their most formidable challenge yet, as Frieza’s cunning and ruthlessness signal that the battles ahead will be far more arduous than previous encounters.

5 Beerus

The Elusive Full Power of the God of Destruction

With Beerus’s introduction, a new dimension of possibility opened for the Dragon Ball universe. While Goku and Vegeta have unlocked Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, the God of Destruction continues to stay just beyond their reach. Although Goku’s Ultra Instinct is advancing closer to Beerus’ level, it is evident he has much more to discover before genuinely challenging the God of Destruction.

As a master of Hakai—destructive energy with the power to obliterate existence—Beerus possesses the means to eradicate any foe. His nonchalant combat style adds to his intimidation factor, as he keeps himself restrained during encounters with Goku and Vegeta, often appearing unbothered amidst their fierce attempts.

4 Whis

A Power Beyond the God of Destruction

As an Angel, Whis exists in an entirely different realm of power compared to Goku, Vegeta, and even Beerus. Throughout Dragon Ball Super, Whis has emphasized his role not just as Beerus’s attendant but also as a mentor. It appears that he possesses greater strength than Beerus himself, with his mastery over various techniques, including Ultra Instinct, marking him as a significant threat.

During training sessions, Whis effortlessly spars with Goku and Vegeta, showcasing his unmatched speed and strength. Additionally, his ability to manipulate time elevates his status beyond the reach of the Saiyans, as he has yet to unleash the full spectrum of his capabilities.

3 In the wires

Vados: The Angel of Universe Six

Serving as the Angel attendant to Universe Six’s God of Destruction, Champa, Vados naturally exceeds both Champa and Beerus in strength. While she may seem on par with Whis, it is established that her powers surpass his, coupled with her extensive experience. Vados also wields Ultra Instinct and other abilities that far exceed Goku and Vegeta’s capabilities.

Her proficiency in manipulation of time, space, and energy places her at a strategic advantage, as she rarely has to reveal her full power. Despite the remarkable growth of Goku and Vegeta, Vados remains a character they might never hope to defeat.

2 Grand Priest

The Grand Priest: Authority and Power

The Grand Priest stands out as one of the preeminent authorities among the Angels, embodying immense power within the Dragon Ball universe. As the progenitor of Whis, Vados, and other angel attendants, his vast experience and wisdom render him far superior to the Gods of Destruction and the Supreme Kais. His prowess is leagues ahead of both Whis and Vados, established on a scale incomprehensible to mere mortals like Goku and Vegeta.

The Grand Priest’s authority is showcased throughout the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc, highlighting his pivotal role during the conflict against Moro. When certain actions prompt potential anger from the Grand Priest, it illustrates the severe consequences of the interaction between the characters and their superiors.

1 Zeno

The Omni-King: A Power Beyond Imagination

As the supreme ruler of the multiverse, Zeno transcends conventional power dynamics in Dragon Ball. His authority far surpasses that of the Gods of Destruction, Supreme Kais, Angels, and even the Grand Priest. With a mere snap of his fingers, Zeno can obliterate entire universes, rendering even the mightiest fighters like Goku and Vegeta utterly insignificant.

While Goku shares a friendly rapport with Zeno, there exists no training or strategy that could enable Goku or Vegeta to match Zeno’s universe-altering capabilities. In the grand hierarchy of Dragon Ball, strength and strategy pale in comparison to Zeno’s overwhelming power and status.
