The characters of the iconic Dragon Ball universe are commonly noted as some of the strongest characters in the anime medium. The series' consistent storytelling tactic of always upping their power scaling with each new story arc means their main warriors are constantly becoming more powerful. But the debate of who is deemed the strongest of them all is a common topic among the fan base.
9 Broly Currently Played by Bin Shimada & Vic Mignogna Close Having been in the Dragon Ball franchise for years before his canon appearance, Broly has been a fan-favorite character for quite some time. Known commonly as one of the most powerful Saiyans, with some believing he may be more powerful than Goku and Vegeta, Broly is a deeply caring Saiyan who loves his friends. Broly was recently thrown into the spotlight through the film Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
7 Goku Currently Played by Masako Nozawa & Sean Schemmel Close Being the main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise, Goku has to be pretty strong to win as many battles as he has. Persistently upgrading in power level, Goku's power scaling seems as if it'll never end. With the introduction of his newest transformation in Dragon Ball Super, the Ultra Instinct transformation, his max power level has skyrocketed far beyond what it's ever been.
5 Gohan Currently Played by Masako Nozawa Close Gohan, son of Goku, is the strongest mortal in the entire Dragon Ball franchise. After the introduction of his newest form, Beast Gohan, while fighting Cell Max in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Gohan rose in the ranks of strongest heroes. Amidst this battle, Piccolo, who is currently almost as strong as Goku and Vegeta, states that Beast Gohan is stronger than Goku and Vegeta.
