The other night I got to thinking about who I would personally consider the 10 most powerful characters in the Dragon Ball Universe (not counting GT or video games...) as of December 2013. I am counting the films, and it should be noted I won't count specifically a "form", but rather the character in general, as the form is part of the character. This is the list I came up with, obviously nothing is official, just taken from my personal research and beliefs. Show Contents
The List1. Vegito2. WhisWARNING: SPOILERS While this character is very new, having only been revealed earlier this year within the new film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods; he is a truly mysterious powerhouse, being more of a neutral character then anything else. During the events of the film, he is showcased as the attendant of Bills, the God of Destruction, a being so powerful as to be able to take down Super Saiyan 3 Goku in one hit. However, it is revealed at the end of the film that Whis is actually more powerful than Bills, and is also the martial arts teacher of the God of Destruction. He also knocks Bills out with one strike to the neck, putting him back into his slumber at the end of the film. As such, this mysterious character gets my #2 spot.3. BillsWARNING: SPOILERS The main antagonist of the new film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, Bills was actually stated within a promotional poster to be the most fearsome being in "Dragon Ball Z" history. While I don't necessarily agree with this, due to the nature of the quote comparing him to past villains such as Frieza, Cell and Buu, I would undoubtedly agree he is the most powerful antagonist in DBZ history (his status as a "villain" is up for debate). Bills is so powerful, he is able to take down Super Saiyan 3 Goku in a single blow, defeat Fat Buu, take out "Ultimate" Gohan within a single kick, un-fuse Gotenks, and wipe the floor with an enraged Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta. It is not until Goku obtains the power of Super Saiyan God that Bills is faced with a challenge, and even then admits to using only about 70% of his full power during their battle. He legitimately defeats Goku, which very few characters have the title of doing so. As such, he gets my #3 spot.4. GokuNow, you're probably saying "WHAT!? How is Goku ranked higher than Super Buu and Gohan etc"? Well, thanks to his new-found power acquired during "Battle of Gods", he is. Super Saiyan God puts him at a level decently close to Bills, who had taken him down as a Super Saiyan 3 with one blow. With his new power, even after the form diminished and his body absorbed most of its power, Goku has ascended into a whole other level, officially and without a doubt securing his place as the most powerful Z Fighter, and as such, he gets #4.5. Super Buu6.GogetaWait, Gogeta is below Goku??? Keep in mind, the Goku above is his power tier within "Battle of Gods"; which I believe is above the resulted fusion taking place in "Fusion Reborn", while Goku was obviously much weaker. While the Potara fusion produces a greater power then that of the conventional Metamoran Fusion, Goku and Vegeta's fusion during Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn produced an incredible result, Gogeta. As Gogeta, he took down Janemba in a matter of moments, a villain who had previously bested Super Saiyan 3 Goku in battle. As such, Gogeta is a powerhouse of a fusion, though not as powerful as Vegito. He gets #6.7.GohanWhile Gohan's appearances in the films Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon and "Battle of Gods" appear to nerf his overall power, having been outdone by Super Saiyan 3 Goku's power (which negates what we know from the original manga and anime) we're still talking about a warrior who at the end of DBZ, had his hidden potential unlocked and completely dominated Super Buu, who had previously proved to be more powerful then Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks and was stated to be too dangerous by Goku for he and Vegeta to try and fight. By all accounts, Ultimate Gohan is the most powerful non-fused Z Fighter (until Battle of Gods that is), and such, has earned #7.8.GotenksThe fusion of Goten and Trunks, Gotenks becomes one of the most powerful characters in DBZ. Believed by Goku to be the only hope for taking down Buu, in his Super Saiyan form is able to hold his own against Super Buu, and once transforming into a Super Saiyan 3, appears to even surpass him in power, although this is debated. Like Gohan, his power appears to have been nerfed in films such as "Wrath of the Dragon" and "Battle of Gods", probably with the intention to level the playing field for Goku and Vegeta etc. Nevertheless, Gotenks is incredibly powerful, and until the appearance of Ultimate Gohan, the strongest Z Fighter at the time, thus earning him #8.9.JanembaSimply put, he takes down Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Super Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta with ease. We can infer he is more powerful then Kid Buu, who Super Saiyan 3 Goku is able to fight on a more even level with. He earns #9.10.HirudegarnHirudgarn was hard to place, because he defeats both Ultimate Gohan and Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks, while in the end being defeated by Super Saiyan 3 Goku (who shouldn't be anywhere as powerful as them). However, from what we see, he's a tank, and has enough power to defeat both of them as well as Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta. He also proved to be more powerful then Super Saiyan 3 Goku until his weakness was discovered and he was subsequently defeated. Nevertheless, he takes down three of the most powerful characters in the series.Honorable Mentions (in no order)
