Saiyans are the backbone of the Dragon Ball franchise. Over the course of the series, members of this race have proven themselves to be some of the most powerful characters in the entire multiverse, managing to defeat incredibly formidable opponents, due to which they are the focal point of the story.

Of course, one of the most identifiable factors of the Saiyans, and Dragon Ball in general, is the immensely powerful transformations that they have been able to achieve. So, in this article, let's break down the most powerful Saiyan transformations to see exactly why they make the characters so strong in the first place.

Super Saiyan Blue Increased The Power Of God Ki

Users: Goku, Vegeta, Vegito, Gogeta

  • Ascended Super Saiyan God

This is a power that's even greater than a Super Saiyan God!

In the Battle of Gods film, the concept of God Ki was introduced, which allowed Goku to unlock Super Saiyan God. The subsequent film added a power-up on top of that, which is essentially just going Super Saiyan once this power is unlocked, leading to the Super Saiyan Blue form. This is a huge multiplier in strength for everyone who uses it, particularly for Vegito and Gogeta, whose strength in this form is enough to rival even Beerus according to many fans.

Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Was Vegeta's Greatest Form For A While

Users: Vegeta

  • An incredible power-up

Let Kakarot use his thoughtless Ultra Instinct all he wants! I'm going to defeat you on my own terms, in my own way!

While Goku unlocked a brand-new level with Ultra Instinct, Vegeta managed to push through the barriers of Super Saiyan Blue in his own way, which led to the incredible Super Saiyan Blue Evolved state. This power shot up his strength by a huge margin as it essentially acted the same way as Super Saiyan Grade 1, but with relation to regular Super Saiyan Blue. In this form, Vegeta's strength was enough to surpass the Energy of Destruction and allowed him to defeat Toppo in his strongest state.

The Full Powered Super Saiyan Is The Product Of Unlimited Potential

Users: Broly

  • Broly's ultimate state

He's probably even stronger than Beerus!

When Broly was finally brought into the canon of the series, fans were delighted to see that he kept the insane potential of his non-canon counterpart. Because of this, he would lose his mind and become a monster that none could stop. However, in the Super Hero arc of the manga, Broly finally learns to control this incredible strength, fully manifesting his unreal might and potential without losing his mind in the process. Though this power is still new to him, Broly is now on the same level as his contemporaries.

Ultra Ego Showed Vegeta As A Warrior On The Level Of The Destroyers

Users: Vegeta

  • The power of the Destroyers

Damage is nothing but fuel for me! Do you know what that means? I'm only getting stronger!

Ever since Goku achieved Ultra Instinct, Vegeta had been trying to do so as well, though always unsuccessfully. However, the Granolah arc showed him awaken Ultra Ego; an offense-focused parallel to Ultra Instinct that allowed Vegeta to close the gap in power with his rival and, for a while, even surpass him. Although Ultra Ego is still stronger than Goku's Ultra Instinct from an offensive standpoint, its lack of refinement places it lower since it is too difficult for Vegeta to maintain it long-term.

Ultra Instinct Is The Ultimate Technique Of The Angels

Users: Goku, Beerus, Angels

  • The greatest technique in the multiverse

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

Ultra Instinct is the inherent technique of the Angels of the multiverse and is widely considered to be the pinnacle of Martial Arts. Because of this, a mortal achieving this form was unheard of until Goku managed to do so during the Tournament of Power, where his mastered version of the form was far stronger than Jiren. Since then, Goku's mastery and precision with the state has only increased, making him perhaps the greatest mortal Martial Artist in the entire multiverse of Dragon Ball Super.

Every Saiyan has had a single form that they have become known by, so let's take a look at what this is for each of them.

The Beast Form May Be Equal To Ultra Instinct Goku

Users: Gohan

  • A form born from unrivaled potential

Gohan Beast may be the most contentious transformation in the entire Dragon Ball franchise. The reason for this is that Gohan managed to reach the level of Ultra Instinct Goku in a single day, despite not even putting in a fraction of the amount of work that his father has over the years. Despite this, Akira Toriyama implied that Gohan Beast may be the most powerful of them all.

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

The most realistic guess that fans can make before it outright gets confirmed is that Beast Gohan is on the same level of power as Ultra Instinct, and isn't actually stronger. This unmatched power was on display in his fight against Cell Max, where he defeated the monster with very little effort and then proceeded to take on Ultra Instinct Goku in a sparring match, where both seemed evenly matched.
