Dragon Ball: 7 God Level Heroes, Rated

Dragon Ball is a series with some of the most powerful main characters ever. Given the franchise's tradition of prioritizing battle and combat above all else, it's no surprise that the protagonists have risen to multifaceted power in the 42 years since the story began in 1984.

As such, Goku and his greatest companions may have started out as characters who were remarkably powerful in the world, but have since grown to become the greatest protectors of their universe. In this article, we'll go over the strongest God-level heroes overall Dragon Ball franchises to see exactly what makes them so.

Jiren's power was too great for the heroes to deal with

Strongest Form: Burning Ultimate Warrior

Even though Jiren was the main antagonist of the Tournament of Power arc, he and his subordinates weren't really just fighting for the survival of their universe as a villain. His nature as Universe 11's greatest protector and role in the story definitely paint Jiren as a very heroic character who may return as an ally at some point in the future.

As such, Jiren's power was truly legendary. When he awakened his Burning Ultimate Warrior state, he held his own against Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku for some time, and while he was undoubtedly weaker, his amazing Ki control allowed him to outlast Goku's greatest form. Additionally, being said to be even stronger than Belmod makes him a God-level hero in the eyes of many.

Piccolo finally unlocked a state equal to the Saiyans

Strongest Form: Orange Piccolo

For years, fans have hoped that Piccolo would play a much more integral role in future story arcs due to how beloved the character is. This prayer was finally answered in the Super Hero arc when Piccolo unlocked his ultimate state, which finally brought him on par with the main Saiyans of the story.

Orange Piccolo is one of the most powerful heroes in the entire story and his performance against Cell Max confirms this narrative perfectly. Both Toyotaro and Toriyama clearly established the future of the series in that all 5 main heroes are to be at the same level of overall power, with Orange Piccolo being one of the strongest heroes in the multiverse.

Broly's potential is the greatest of all

Strongest Form: Fully powered Super Saiyan

As the greatest prodigy the Saiyan race has seemingly ever known, Broly's monstrous natural strength was on full display in his fight against Goku and Vegeta, where he displayed incredible strength by taking on two Super Saiyan Blue users at the same time, which is even more impressive considering it was his first ever proper fight.

Since then, Broly has joined Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo as a God-level hero standing in the vanguard of Universe 7 as one of its most loyal and powerful protectors. Granted, Broly has just learned how to control his legendary power, so he has no experience with it yet, but in terms of sheer destructive power and potential, none come close.

Granolah went from villain to anti-gas hero

Strongest Form: Red Eye Form 2

In the early stages of the Granolah arc, the titular character made an important wish that changed the power landscape of the series. Becoming the strongest mortal in Universe 7, Granolah's power reached an unprecedented level, which was seen in how he was able to defeat Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku with a single hit despite being depowered by his clone.

In his later battle against Ultra Ego Vegeta, he even matched the Saiyan Prince equally as his last attack would knock them both out. However, towards the end of the arc, Granolah realized that his real problem was with Heeters and Frieza, causing him to change his ways and become an invaluable ally to Goku and Vegeta, as well as another God-level hero.

The weed has the most endangered form of all

Strongest Form: Ultra Ego

Of all the ultimate forms that heroes now have, Vegeta definitely wins when it comes to the best. With Ultra Ego, Vegeta proved that he had raw offensive power that made him even stronger than Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku, despite never having used the form before, as his performance against Granolah was much better.

Ultra Ego has made Vegeta's power truly legendary, as in this state he can use God's energy of destruction Destroyer, allowing him to use Hakai. However, Vegeta is nowhere near mastering this form as it has many issues that need to be worked out to be fully viable. Despite this, Vegeta is still a God-level hero.

Gohan's potential awakened a truly terrifying innate power

Strongest Form: Beast Gohan

Ever since his first appearance, Akira Toriyama has made it clear that Gohan's innate power is truly immense and that he has the means to surpass everyone else in power with his potential. First seen with his legendary Super Saiyan 2 transformation, the point was really driven home with Beast Gohan's incredible form.

Born from the explosion of rage Gohan felt at the thought of Piccolo being killed, this condition took Gohan's unmatched potential as a Hybrid-Saiyan and brought him to a level far beyond anything else. Not only did Gohan Beast effortlessly kill Cell Max, but he also managed to match Ultra Instinct Goku in battle, showing that the heroes going forward are more or less equal.

Goku has mastered the legendary angel technique

Strongest Form: Mastered Ultra Instinct

Although Goku had access to Divine Ki from the beginning Coolit wasn't until he unlocked Ultra Instinct that he truly reached God level. Ultra Instinct, known as the ultimate martial arts technique in the multiverse that is notoriously difficult to master, even for gods of destruction, makes Goku a unique fighter.

Although the direction the story is going right now confirms that all 5 main heroes are at a similar level of power, it stands to reason that Goku is probably a bit taller than the others due to his time and experience with his new ultimate form. Mastering a technique that even destroyers have difficulty with, Goku may be the strongest God-level hero of them all.
