The only thing more important than Power Levels in Dragon Ball is potential. For as impressive as Goku and Vegeta are, these are two characters who have spent their lives either fighting, training, or some combination of the two. The only reason Goku and Vegeta are so powerful is because they make an active effort to stay ahead of the curve, but there are several Dragon Ball characters who frankly don't need to train to keep up with Goku and Vegeta's feats.
The 7 Most Overpowered Dragon Ball Super Characters of All Time, Ranked
Dragon Ball Super's most powerful characters aren't just strong, they're downright overpowered.
From as early as Dragon Ball Z, Gohan established that raw potential can take you a long way in the Dragon Ball universe, and things haven't slowed down in Dragon Ball Super. The likes of Broly and Frieza are so powerful with barely any training, that it's hard to imagine a world where Goku and Vegeta can actually keep up without their seriously overpowered transformations on their side. It's only a matter of time before the characters with the most potential in Dragon Ball Super surpass the series' main heroes.
6 Caulifla Unlocked Super Saiyan Easier Than Any Other Character in the Series
Universe 6's counterpart to Goku, no one on Planet Sadala has more raw potential than Caulifla – and that's saying something considering Kale is Universe 6's Legendary Super Saiyan. Caulifla may not be the first Super Saiyan in Universe 6 history, but she had the easiest time unlocking the form.
Not just that, Caulifla almost effortlessly unlocks both Super Saiyan Grade 2 and Super Saiyan 2 just by fighting Goku in the Tournament of Power. With a little training, Caulifla could easily unlock Super Saiyan 3 and potentially even bruteforce her way into learning Super Saiyan God like Vegeta did between Battle of Gods and Resurrection F.
5 Gohan Used to Be the Top Dog When it Came to Potential
Gohan was the poster boy for potential for years after he was introduced in Dragon Ball Z. As a child, Gohan's rage made him stronger than just about any character in the series and allowed him to accomplish feats even more disciplined characters couldn't pull off. Gohan was the first character to unlock Super Saiyan 2 in the Cell Saga, and became the strongest unfused character in Dragon Ball Z thanks to his Ultimate upgrade.
15 Strongest Dragon Ball Super Characters Who Can Turn Super Saiyan, Ranked
As of the Tournament of Power, there are now 15 Dragon Ball Super characters who can turn Super Saiyan – some stronger than others, of course.
Unfortunately, Gohan's biggest problem is that he doesn't train. At the start of Dragon Ball Super, Gohan falls off so hard, he even struggles to turn Super Saiyan in Resurrection F. Even a weakened Gohan is still supremely powerful, however, and it takes him little to no time at all to get back into shape. In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan reveals to Piccolo that he secretly trains and even unlocks his unique Beast form, which currently makes him the strongest Z-Fighter.
4 Pan Can Become Even Stronger Than Goku & Gohan if She Keeps Training
Pan inherited Gohan's potential, and then some. At only three years old, Pan is already significantly stronger than Gohan was at four during the events of the Saiyan Saga. Although Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero ends up retconning it, Pan is able to fly as a baby in the Dragon Ball Super anime. Even with this retcon, she's still extremely powerful and already being trained by Piccolo, much like her father before her.
Pan didn't amount to much in Dragon Ball GT, but Dragon Ball Super seems determined to course-correct her fate. In Dragon Ball Z's Peaceful World Saga, Pan is so strong, she even manages to defeat Goten in the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament (only in the anime, though). Every generation of hybrid Saiyans is stronger than the last, so as long as Pan keeps training, she'll be even stronger than her uncle, father, and grandpa in no time.
3 Uub Has So Much Potential, Goku Abandoned His Family to Train Him
The reincarnation of Kid Buu, Uub was originally the definition of untapped potential at the end of Dragon Ball Z. Uub is so strong, Goku decides that training him is worth abandoning his family for (though Neko Majin Z shows that Goku and Uub do spend time with Goku's family during their training sessions, unlike Dragon Ball GT). With the introduction of God Ki in Dragon Ball Super, many fans felt like Uub's potential no longer made sense, but Toyotarou made Uub's Power Level make sense in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
10 Best Goku Fights in Dragon Ball History, Ranked
The action is the story when it comes to Dragon Ball, and there's no better evidence of this than Goku's best fights.
The Moro arc reveals that Uub is not only Kid Buu's reincarnation, but that Majin Buu had access to God Ki. When Buu was reincarnated, Uub inherited Kid Buu's untapped God Ki. Uub's power-scaling in a post-Dragon Ball Super world now makes perfect sense, as he's a child with access to God Ki and tremendous power who Goku can train into controlling. With a little bit of training, Dragon Ball Super will wind up far stronger than he was in Dragon Ball GT.
2 With No Training, Broly Was Strong Enough to Overpower Super Saiyan Blue Goku & Vegeta
Broly's potential makes Gohan's potential look like Yamcha's potential. Born with a staggering Power Level of 10,000 (making him stronger than most Elite class Saiyans), Broly spent most of his life honing his survival skills on Planet Vampa. While this made Broly incredibly sturdy, he didn't have access to formal training until Goku brought him to Beerus' Planet at the end of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Despite this, Base Broly was strong enough to fight Saiyans with literal God forms and actually damage them.
Turning Super Saiyan only made Broly stronger, allowing him to outclass Super Saiyan Blue Goku & Vegeta, as well as Golden Frieza. Legendary Super Saiyan Broly is so powerful, only Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta was strong enough to actually defeat him. As of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Broly is currently training to control his Full Power Super Saiyan form, and is strong enough to fight Gohan Beast as a regular Super Saiyan. With a little more training, Broly will be unstoppable.
1 Frieza Went From Weaker Than Super Saiyan Goku to Stronger Than a Super Saiyan God By Training for Four Months
Without a single day of training in his life, Frieza was the strongest mortal for years in Dragon Ball Z. He wasn't surpassed until Goku turned Super Saiyan on Namek, and even then, Frieza was still more powerful than most of the natural universe. After being revived in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F, Frieza trained for four months and went from being weaker than a regular Super Saiyan to strong enough to fight Super Saiyan Blue Goku on equal footing.
It really can't be understated how impressive it is that Frieza made it to God Tier by just casually working out for a few months. Frieza has only gotten stronger since, gaining a massive power boost while image training in Hell, and becoming the strongest non-God in the multiverse at the end of the Granolah Saga by training inside a Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a decade. Black Frieza is currently the strongest villain in Dragon Ball Super, and it's all thanks to Frieza's innately high potential.
