The end of Dragon Ball Super's Granolah arc marked perhaps the greatest change in the entire power-scaling landscape of the series. This came with the introduction of Black Frieza, who is, by far, the most powerful villain that the heroes have ever faced, since he managed to knock out Goku and Vegeta with barely any effort.

As such, fans have already rightfully claimed him to be the strongest mortal in the entire Dragon Ball multiverse. Black Frieza's terrifying power has safely put him above most of the characters in the greater setting, so let's take a look at the strongest characters that the Frost Demon's most powerful state can defeat.

Saiyans have undergone many incredible transformations in the series, so let's take a look at the strongest of them all.

Jiren Would Be Erased Before He Even Got The Time To Think

An Easy Battle

  • The strongest of Universe 11

Might makes right and might alone! Without strength, we have nothing!

In the Tournament of Power, Jiren was the most powerful foe that the heroes had to face and all of his interactions with Frieza showed him mercilessly beating the Galactic Tyrant. However, if the two were to cross paths now, Frieza would absolutely demolish him due to how much he has grown in strength since the Tournament of Power ended. Of course, we haven't seen Jiren since then either, so he's likely very close to him in power, but Black Frieza would end the Jiren from the tournament quite easily.

Black Frieza Has Already Made Short Work Of Goku And Vegeta

Humiliated Divine Techniques

  • The strongest forms of the rivals

Power comes in response to a need, not a desire. You have to create that need.

Dragon Ball Super has shown an incredible increase in power for almost all of the characters, particularly Goku and Vegeta, who achieved the Divine Transformations of Angels and Destroyers, respectively, to awaken their most powerful states. However, despite being so strong, neither could even hold a candle to Black Frieza, who knocked them both out of their ultimate forms with just a single punch. The end of the Granolah arc marked Frieza as the strongest mortal in Universe 7.

Broly And Piccolo Would Also Not Be A Problem For Black Frieza

There's Nothing They Could Do

  • Easy pickings for the Galactic Tyrant

Sorry, I can't hold back in this form.

At the current moment, the main heroes of the series are all around the same level of strength. However, due to Black Frieza's insane performance against Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta, it's clear that Broly and Piccolo wouldn't even make him sweat. It's not that they aren't powerful, but the truth is that Broly's controlled power is still very new to him and Piccolo's true strength is as a strategist. If they came across Black Frieza, they'd get the same treatment as Goku and Vegeta.

Even Gohan Beast Couldn't Put A Dent On Black Frieza

Frieza's Too Strong

  • A battle of potential

Gohan is stronger than anyone... Or so it's said.

Due to the current setting of Dragon Ball Super and Akira Toriyama's comments regarding the form, many fans believe that Gohan Beast is the strongest out of the current line up of the Z-Fighters. However, that remains speculation, and even if that were the case, he still wouldn't be able to even do anything to the Galactic Tyrant, since his spar with Goku showed that the difference in their power isn't that great, which is why Black Frieza would still mop the floor with him.

Even Gogeta And Vegito Would Struggle Against The Villain

The Second-Strongest Mortals

  • The only ones who may pose a challenge

Our two strengths aren't just added together, they're significantly magnified!

Black Frieza's strength is far beyond anything that Goku or Vegeta could handle on their own; that much is established. However, the only way for them to remotely stand a chance is through fusion, though even this isn't confirmed. If Gogeta or Vegito could use either of the Divine Techniques, they'd be far above the Galactic Tyrant, but seeing as how they've only shown the ability to unlock Super Saiyan Blue, many fans are convinced that they would be defeated by Black Frieza.

Some Believe That Black Frieza May Even Surpass Beerus

Or Is As Strong

  • The strongest Destroyer

Before creation... Must come Destruction!

Beerus is the God of Destruction for Universe 7 and is considered to be the most powerful Destroyer of them all, particularly because of his performance in the Destroyer exhibition match. However, some are convinced that Black Frieza may be stronger, because of the ease it took him to defeat Goku and Vegeta in their ultimate forms. Although Beerus acts as a moving goalpost for the Saiyans, many believe that the gap between them has been getting smaller ever since Goku and Vegeta unlocked their Divine Transformations, and seeing how easy that fight was for Black Frieza, the connection can be made.
