Dragon Ball universe keeps getting bigger and so do its characters’ power levels! While gods and angels like Whis and Beerus steal the spotlight, let’s not forget the mortals who pack a punch without divine perks. Here’s a rundown of the 10 strongest non-godly warriors shaking up the multiverse.
1. Kefla: Universe 6 Saiyan Fusion
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Episode 114)
When Universe 6’s feisty Saiyans, Kale and Caulifla, fuse, they create Kefla—a walking tornado of energy. Though “only” a Super Saiyan 2, her raw power (thanks to Kale’s Legendary Super Saiyan genes) lets her trade blows with Ultra Instinct Goku and Jiren.
Kefla: Universe 6 Saiyan Fusion
Why She Rocks:
- Combines brute force with battle smarts.
- Survived the Tournament of Power against universe-ending threats.
2. Top: The Pride Trooper With Godly Ambitions
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Episode 78)
Universe 11’s Top isn’t just Jiren’s sidekick—he’s a God of Destruction in training. His “Destroyer Form” channels godly ki, pushing Golden Frieza to the edge. Vegeta barely beat him, and even then, it was a close call!
Cool Fact: Top’s strength rivals his universe’s actual God of Destruction. Talk about an overachiever!
3. Jiren: The Quiet Titan Who Outmuscles Gods
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Episode 85)
Jiren spends more time meditating than talking, but when he fights? Yikes. His Full Power mode forced Goku to master Ultra Instinct. Even Whis admits Jiren’s strength tops some Gods of Destruction!
Signature Move: Omegaheat Magnetron—a blast so strong it mimics Hakai (the gods’ erase-button technique).
4. Orange Piccolo: The Namekian Who Finally Gets His Moment
Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Movie)
Piccolo’s been sidelined for years, but a wish to Shenron unlocked “Orange Piccolo”—a beefed-up form that clobbered Cell Max. Plus, he can grow giant-sized! Finally, Namekians aren’t just for fusing anymore.
Fan Win: Piccolo’s new power puts him toe-to-toe with Goku and Vegeta. About time!
5. Granolah: The Last Cerealian With a Grudge
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Manga Chapter 67)
Granolah’s entire race was wiped out by Saiyans, so he wished to become the strongest mortal alive—but at a cost: his lifespan. His sniper-like Evolved Eyes exploit enemies’ weak spots, even outclassing Ultra Instinct Goku temporarily.
Plot Twist: His power-up was so wild, it forced Vegeta to unlock Ultra Ego!
6. Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan Who Won’t Quit
Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Broly (Movie)
Broly’s not just a mindless berserker anymore. After training on Beerus’ planet, he’s mastering his rage. His fight against Gogeta Blue? Pure chaos. Now, he’s gunning for Black Frieza—and fans are here for it.
Why He’s Scary: Even gods fear his untapped potential.
7. Ultra Instinct Goku: The Mortal Who Fights Like a God
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Tournament of Power Arc)
Goku’s Perfected Ultra Instinct isn’t just a glow-up—it’s a game-changer. He dodges attacks before they happen and summons energy avatars. Beerus wants him as a God of Destruction, but Goku’s too busy chasing the next challenge.
Fun Detail: Ultra Instinct’s “auto-dodge” works even when Goku’s asleep. Talk about OP!
8. Ultra Ego Vegeta: The Saiyan Prince’s Pain-Powered Form
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Manga Chapter 75)
Vegeta ditched copying Goku and embraced his inner badass with Ultra Ego. The more damage he takes, the stronger he gets. Paired with Hakai (yes, that godly erase move), he’s now a walking disaster.
Character Growth: Admits he’ll never beat Goku… but doesn’t care. He’s carving his own path.
9. Gohan Beast: The Scholar Who Became a Savage
Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Movie)
Gohan’s “Beast Mode” isn’t just a new hairstyle—it’s a statement. He one-shotted Cell Max, and even Beerus felt his energy from another planet. After years of slacking, the nerdy dad’s finally living up to his potential.
Fan Service: Toriyama confirmed Gohan Beast rivals Black Frieza. Let that sink in.
10. Black Frieza: The Tyrant Who Won’t Stay Dead
Black Frieza
Debut: Dragon Ball Super (Manga Chapter 87)
Frieza’s back, and he’s pissed. A decade in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber gave him Black Frieza—a form so strong, he KO’d Gas and Ultra Instinct Goku with one punch. His goal? Toppling the gods and ruling the multiverse.
Why He’s #1: He’s Dragon Ball’s ultimate cockroach—always surviving, always evolving.
