The Saiyan race has clearly produced some of Dragon Ball's most powerful characters to date. With recent statements confirming Piccolo's new power to be completely equal to Goku and Vegeta's current level, Gohan stands alone above the rest of the Saiyans. Gohan's newest transformation, Gohan Beast, was capable of effortlessly stopping a rampaging Cell Max, a being whose power uterly eclipsed that of Orange Piccolo. Though his power and standing within the series may have declined in the past few years, his level of strength has reached alarming levels recently. ![]() From fighting alien invaders at five years old to unleashing never before seen power in order to fight the combined might of every warrior that preceded him in Cell, there is little that Gohan hasn't already accomplished in Dragon Ball. Longtime fans of Dragon Ball will find it no surprise that at the top of this list lies Gohan- a prodigy among prodigies. At the end of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Vegeta was also declared the winner of a sparring match between Goku and himself, which only further solidifies his position here. In the manga, Vegeta's imperfect Ultra Ego is still fighting side by side with Goku's Mastered Ultra Instinct, and his new mastery of Spirit Control has provided him with an enormous level of ki control. In the anime, it was Vegeta who figured out how to damage Jiren even without the use of Ultra Instinct and his Final Flash clearly exceeded the power of Goku's Spirit Bomb. Nevertheless, he seems set to turn a new leaf in Dragon Ball Super, and there has been a pattern of Vegeta consistently outperforming Goku at key moments in the story. Narratively speaking, Vegeta has dealt with the consequences of his own selfishness and being blinded by arrogance for decades of his growth as a martial artist. This is purely speculative, however, as it isn't known if it was solely Goku's access to God Ki that granted him such an enormous power increase, or if it was his decades of training that culminated in the ability to tap into even a fraction of the power of a god.ĭespite constantly playing second fiddle to Goku at what seems like every turn in the story, Vegeta is placed above him here for good reason. Though his power is only known through myths, seeing the power granted to Goku when he first ascended to Super Saiyan God and challenged Beerus in a battle that threatened to destroy the entire Dragon Ball universe, it seems reasonable that Yamoshi himself would have held comparable power. ![]() As it happened, the power was too great for his body to handle, and his life was extinguished soon after- thus evil and barbaric ways returned to Planet Vegeta. With the combined power of his comrades, the leader of those righteous Saiyans became a Super Saiyan God and managed to defeat the evil Saiyans temporarily. ![]() ![]() Legend tells of a valiant Saiyan warrior who rallied a group of pure-hearted Saiyans to fight back against evil plaguing Planet Vegeta. The legend of the original Super Saiyan, Yamoshi, is all but confirmed to be the same legend of Dragon Ball's original Super Saiyan God.
