The Dragon Ball the story never failed to show the heroes adopting various forms of learning to become stronger with each new adversary they encounter. Even in his path, there are characters who have become so powerful that it seems almost impossible to kill them; The mere mention of them can excite fans, change the stakes of the entire arc, the tactics, and even the nature of the fights themselves.
Even though the series has far surpassed the power levels of mere mortals at this point, almost every new character introduced in the series is powerful enough to destroy planets as if they were made of clay, but that's exactly what makes the series what it is and why it's loved. The invincibility of these characters is not only based on defeatable abilities, but also on their role in the narratives. This list focuses on characters revealed in anime or movies released so far, focusing mainly on the main timeline/universe 6 and not the ongoing manga.
Dragon Ball: How Goku Unlocked Ultra Instinct, Explained
Goku has unlocked a powerful new form in Dragon Ball Super that makes him as strong as the angels of the multiverse.
Hit
Hit is an assassin from Universe 6 who is part of Dr. Ball Super. Hit, who was part of the Tournament of Destroyers, changed the entire course of the arc, becoming a fan-favorite character right after his first reveal. Not only is Hit a powerful character, but he can jump through time, cancel attacks, and read movements as if he could read them almost supernaturally. He forced Goku to draw the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-Ken, a scene that was not only incredible and became one of the highest rated episodes of Super.
Hit is nearly invincible due to his skill and is constantly changing to keep up. His way of fighting is more intellectual than just wanting more power. He is taught, trained, and perfects time skipping abilities that seem to surpass normal ki scale. Fans would love to see more of him — not just as friend or foe, but as a character whose killer philosophy and evolving time manipulation could redefine future multiverse threats, something Goku could learn from.
Gohan – Beast form
In the recent DB Super movie, Gohan's beast transformation shows his suppressed potential peaking in response to a huge threat. This form gives him raw speed, fury, and unpredictability that rivals even Goku's strongest forms. It is much stronger than the “Mystic Gohan” we saw in the Buu Saga. In his Beast form, Gohan doesn't just respond to threats; he beats them with primal instinct and a cultivation of ki that is almost impossible to control.
Gohan is popular with people because he doesn't give up even in silence. The fact that he was meant to be more than just a sidekick is evident in his Beast form, and hopefully he's always been able to achieve massive amounts of power. Fans are eager to see a sequel that strengthens Gohan and his control over the condition, showing him to be an underdog who becomes the driving force behind his heart rather than his training.
Power comes in response to need, not desire. You must create this need – Goku
Goku – Ultra Instinct
The difference between brute strength and perfect presence through the Ultra Instinct that Goku uses in Dragon Ball Super is explained. In this state, the body acts automatically, reactions are immediate, and the intention of the mind and body become one. Goku dodges and counters with near-perfect accuracy, dodging attacks that could destroy even the strongest opponents.
Ultra Instinct is hard to beat because it doesn't follow the usual rules of combat. Its rarity and accumulation coupled with a mere mortal achieving this form is nothing short of a miracle. While fans can't wait for the DB Super sequel, everyone is mostly excited to see this form in more action form, as it's not just a trump card he can use occasionally, but something Goku needs to fully integrate into who he is for future multiversal or even godlike fights.
Beerus
When Beerus, the God of Destruction, first appeared in Dragon Ball, fans could tell he was something special. He has a presence that only gods have. To be a God of Destruction is not to be strong, but to be in authority. When Beerus destroys something, it's not something he does, it's part of how the universe works. Beer's ability to destroy and his godlike personality are a combination that few can understand, and even fewer can attempt to combat. Beerus is a god and his power is part of the universe.
Dragon Ball: Will Goku and Vegeta Ever Match Beerus?
Beerus is the strongest God of Destruction of them all, so do Goku and Vegeta have any hope of matching him at the end of the series?
What made Beerus feel invincible was restraint. Every loss Goku suffered was deserved, but every encounter with Beerus was unfinished. No matter how high the Saiyans climbed, Beerus remained a ceiling that could not be touched. The scariest thing about it wasn't his power – it was the result that even now the show hasn't shown what he's really capable of. More screen time in future arcs could deepen not only his role, but also how his relationship with the Z fighters develops.
George
Jiren, a fighter from Universe 11, is promoted to the top fighter in the Dragon Ball Super series. With the help of the tournament of power, he manages to overcome the united power of many universes, which immediately changes the balance of power. His charisma, pure intentions, and insanely overpowered abilities make him not only powerful, but also memorable and completely stand out from the crowd. He challenges the heroes to their extremes just by existing, he speaks of supreme power!
His ability to be nearly invincible and his lack of emotions make Jiren extremely powerful. He is a character who relies only on his own strength, unlike others who usually go by their feelings or even instincts, but see strength as justice. He continues to be the ideal of optimal physical fitness throughout the series, despite Ultra Instinct pushing Goku to his limit. The ability to unlock Jiren's full potential to influence new stories is a matter of debate among fans; it is one area that can be explored.
Whis (Angels)
Whis is at a level far above mortals where even the question of combat becomes irrelevant. He can be seen training Goku and Vegeta and it can be seen that even at their best they are clumsy. He is perfect in movement, quick in his reactions, and his knowledge of combat is so thorough that he doesn't need to take it seriously, and once the series showed us what Ultra Instinct was, we learn that all angels only exist in the Perfected Ultra Instinct state.
5 Dragon Ball Super Characters Stronger Than Ultra Instinct Goku
As of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Ultra Instinct Goku is weaker than his rival, his son, and even the other main villain of the series.
Whis is considered virtually invincible by fans, as he rarely fights with the intention of doing so. In combat, he does not have to use brute force, but the power of dominance. He's sure of what he's supposed to do, he's free-flowing and almost invincible. He doesn't show his full power like most fighters do. He promotes growth, nurtures deities and humans, and adopts a self-assured demeanor that makes his power unattainable to this world.
Great Minister
The Great Minister or the Daishinkan are not fighting on screen, and that is exactly what scares him. As a being who stands directly below Zeno, his presence alone commands absolute authority across the multiverse. Angels respect him, gods answer to him, and order exists because he maintains it. Although fans speculate and explain his power in passing, anime hints reveal that he is second only to Zeno.
What makes a great minister invincible is the consequence of invincibility. The series consistently hints that it surpasses even the Angels, but never has to demonstrate it. When a character is trusted to handle reality on their own, combat power becomes secondary—and invincibility is assumed. The fact that the audience is left wondering what he can do on the battlefield, his abilities and his role in the grand scheme of things makes his character even more interesting.
Zeno
The strongest character in Dragon Ball is the king of them all, Zeno (Zeno-sama). There is no one who can truly face him because he can destroy entire worlds with a thought. He doesn't need training or power building and acts like a child looking for easy gratification but is actually very smart. And even the multiverse feared his judgment because of his great power.
What makes Zeno truly untouchable is that he is not even affected by the conflict. There is no strategy, no counterattack, no comeback. Strength, speed, and technique mean nothing when existence itself can be erased in an instant. In a series built on pushing limits, Zeno stands as the one limit that can never be challenged. It would be a curious speculation to imagine Zen outside of his guardian functions – that is, assuming he was exposed to danger or how he came to be. It would help add more detail to the story by creating a sequel detailing Zeno's past life and his boundaries and motivations.
