Dragon Ball’s heroes and villains keep pushing each other to unimaginable heights—especially in Dragon Ball Super, where god-like powers and universe-shaking transformations are the norm. But with Black Frieza’s jaw-dropping arrival, the stakes have never been higher. Let’s break down the top 10 warriors who’ve leveled up after Frieza’s shocking power-up.
10. Gohan Beast: The Saiyan Prodigy Finally Unleashed
Gohan fans, rejoice! After years of sidelining his potential (seriously, what’s with all the studying?), Dragon Ball Super finally lets him shine. Gohan Beast isn’t just a cool name—it’s a transformation that puts him on par with Ultra Instinct Goku and Legendary Broly. Picture this: he’s casually trading blows with the strongest Saiyans like it’s a warm-up. And guess what? He’s the hero everyone’s betting on to challenge Black Frieza. Finally, adult Gohan gets the spotlight he deserves!
09. Ultra Ego Vegeta: The Prince’s Path to Destruction
Vegeta’s rivalry with Goku isn’t just about pride anymore. His new Ultra Ego form flips the script—instead of mimicking Goku’s calm Ultra Instinct, Vegeta thrives on chaos. The more damage he takes, the stronger he gets. Think of it as a Saiyan version of a “rage mode” with godly perks. During the Granolah arc, he even pulls off Beerus-like moves (cough Hakai cough). But here’s the catch: if he pushes too hard, he risks self-destruction. Classic Vegeta, right?
8. Legendary Super Saiyan Broly: Raw Power, Zero Chill
Broly’s back, and he’s scarier than ever. Remember when he forced Goku and Vegeta to fuse into Gogeta just to survive? Now, after training with Whis and Beerus, he’s learned to control his berserk energy. That means fewer meltdowns and more focused, planet-crushing punches. Even Golden Frieza couldn’t handle him—so imagine how Black Frieza feels knowing Broly’s still improving.
7. Granolah: The Universe’s Strongest (But At What Cost?)
Granolah’s story is pure tragedy. After wishing to become Universe 7’s strongest warrior (thanks, Dragon Balls!), he’s got the power… but only a few years to live. His sniper skills and evolved “Cerealien” eyes make him a nightmare in battle. Even Ultra Ego Vegeta and True Ultra Instinct Goku struggled against him. But here’s the twist: his rage against the Saiyans fades once he learns the truth about his people’s extinction. Now, he’s a wild card with nothing left to lose.
6 Giant Gomah: The New Villain You Can’t Ignore
Dragon Ball DAIMA’s big bad, Gomah, might technically exist in a pre-Super timeline, but his power is no joke. With the Evil Third Eye amplifying his strength, he bulldozes through Super Saiyan 4 Goku, Vegeta, and even Majin Buu like they’re training dummies. The kicker? He survives energy blasts through his chest without flinching. If Gomah ever crosses paths with Black Frieza, the universe might just explode from sheer hype.
5. Gas: The Heeter Force’s Secret Weapon
Gas starts as Granolah’s pawn but quickly becomes the real threat. After wishing for ultimate power (noticing a trend here?), he unlocks forms like “Inner Nature Unleashed” and “Awakened Mode”—think of them as Super Saiyan on steroids. At his peak, he overpowers Granolah, Vegeta, and Goku simultaneously. But Black Frieza? One punch. That’s all it took to end Gas. Brutal, but a genius way to show how OP Black Frieza really is.
4. Orange Piccolo: Namekian Power, Reimagined
Piccolo’s always been the underdog, but Orange Piccolo changes the game. After a sneaky Dragon Ball wish (Shenron threw in a “little extra”), he bulks up into a fiery, demonic-looking warrior. He’s not quite Gohan Beast level, but he’s finally keeping up with Goku and Vegeta. Plus, his new form hints at untapped Namekian potential—maybe even ties to the Demon Realm. Either way, Piccolo fans are eating good!
3. Planet-Eater Moro: The Galaxy’s OG Nightmare
Moro’s been around for millions of years, devouring planets like snacks. After escaping prison and stealing Ultra Instinct energy, he merges with Earth itself. Yeah, you read that right. He’s so strong, even Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku needs Vegeta’s help to beat him. While he’s no match for Black Frieza now, his legacy as a universe-level threat is cemented.
2. Seven-Three: The Copycat Android With Unlimited Potential
Moro’s sidekick, Seven-Three, is a walking cheat code. This android can copy anyone’s abilities—including Moro at his peak, Gohan, and Piccolo. Imagine if he copied Black Frieza or Gohan Beast? He’d be unstoppable. For now, he’s sidelined, but don’t be surprised if he returns as Dragon Ball’s ultimate wildcard.
1. True Ultra Instinct Goku: The Hero’s Perfect Balance
Goku’s True Ultra Instinct isn’t just about divine calm—it’s about blending that focus with his fiery Saiyan spirit. No more giant energy avatars or robotic precision. Instead, it’s Goku at his most authentic: strategic, passionate, and unstoppable. He’s grown beyond relying on pure godly power, which makes him a smarter, deadlier fighter. Black Frieza better watch his back.
Final Thoughts
Black Frieza’s arrival has everyone scrambling to level up—and this list proves the Dragon Ball universe is bursting with warriors who can (maybe) take him on. From Gohan Beast’s long-awaited rise to Vegeta’s destructive Ultra Ego, the battles ahead promise to redefine what “power” even means. Who’s your pick to dethrone Frieza? Let the fan theories begin!
