From Goku to Whis: The ultimate power ranking in Dragon Ball Super’s final saga

Dragon Ball Super finished up its most recent arc with a mixture of multiversal threats and god-tier transformations, fans are left wondering: who truly sits at the top of the power hierarchy? With so many jaw-dropping fights, unexpected fusions, and divine reveals, the final rankings of the strongest fighters in the Dragon Ball universe have shifted to something else.Here’s a breakdown of the 10 most powerful characters at the end of Dragon Ball Super, ranked not just by raw strength, but also by divine energy, battle impact, and character evolution.10. Toppo (Candidate for God of Destruction)Universe 11’s second-strongest, Toppo proved himself worthy of becoming a God of Destruction during the Tournament of Power. His transformation granted him destructive capabilities on par with actual gods, though his lack of control of his power and strategy kept him below the top tier.9. Golden FriezaUnexpected resurrection of Frieza came with a serious power boost. His “Golden” form allowed him to go toe-to-toe with Goku and Jiren—thanks to both training and sheer cunning. While not on par with Ultra Instinct users, his unpredictable tactics and ruthless mindset keep him dangerous.8. Android 17The biggest ever surprise of the Tournament of Power, 17 not only held himself against gods but also became the MVP of the entire tournament. His infinite energy and tactical knowledge made him one of the most well-rounded fighters in the multiverse.7. Vegeta (Ultra Ego)After super intense training with Beerus, Vegeta achieved his Ultra Ego form—a destructive power-up that draws up strength from the damage taken. Though slightly behind Goku’s Ultra Instinct in control, Vegeta’s raw intensity and strategic growth make him one of the strongest mortals alive.6. Goku (Ultra Instinct - incomplete)Although, even with the incomplete mastery of Ultra Instinct, Goku’s Ultra Instinct form allows him to dodge and counter, giving him a god-tier advantage. His fights with Jiren, Moro, and Gas show that while he still hasn’t fully mastered it, he’s come frighteningly close to the gods and angels.5. JirenThe powerhouse from Universe 11, Jiren’s strength defies logic itself. Even without divine powers, his raw willpower and training pushed him even beyond the Gods of Destruction. If not for Goku’s Ultra Instinct, Jiren might’ve taken the Tournament of Power crown.4. Broly (Super Saiyan full power)The wild card of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, this version of Broly channels limitless rage into unchecked strength. His power grows with each second in battle, and neither Goku nor Vegeta could stop him without fusion. With proper training, he may surpass even gods.3. Gogeta (Super Saiyan Blue)The super fusion of Goku and Vegeta using the fusion dance, Gogeta in Super Saiyan Blue form was strong enough to overwhelm Broly. Although limited by time, his perfect blend of technique and power makes him one of the strongest warriors in the series.2. BeerusThe God of Destruction of Universe 7, Beerus has yet to show his full power. While Goku and Vegeta are inch closer to god-tier forms, Beerus remains an elusive benchmark. He represents the level that even our main heroes admire to fully reach.1. WhisThe angel attendant to Beerus, remains the most powerful known being in Universe 7. With perfect Ultra Instinct active at all times, and knowledge that even the Gods rely on, Whis is far beyond mortal comprehension. He trains gods—and effortlessly dodges their best attacks.Power scale of Dragon Ball Super continues to change beyond traditional levels. From divine techniques like Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego to limitless transformations like Broly’s, Dragon Ball is redefining strength in fascinating ways. Interestingly, intellect, emotional growth, and strategy now play just as big a role as brute force.As the manga continues and new arcs unfold—especially with Black Frieza now in the picture—it’s clear that the ceiling hasn’t been reached yet. Goku and Vegeta are still training, Broly’s being mentored, and fans can only guess what new heights the series will scale.One thing remains certain—Dragon Ball’s strongest characters aren’t just powerful. They’re evolving. And in this universe, evolution is everything.
