Most Powerful Dragon Ball Villains

The top 10 most powerful villains in the whole Dragon Ball series.

1. Beerus

   

   Beerus is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. He debuted as the main antagonist in the 2013 movie Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods. As the God of Destruction, he plays a key role in Dragon Ball Super and other franchise entries that followed.

   Bills is the God of Destruction, and it is said in a DBZ article that he is probably the most powerful villain in all of Dragon Ball Z. His power level is unknown but is said to exceed Super Buu in his final transformation. He single-handedly beat the Z-Fighters with chopsticks.

   He can destroy whole galaxies and planets, but his power is dwarfed compared to who number one is.

   Bills is enormously powerful and has great fighting skills, and his speed is remarkable. He flicked Super Saiyan 3 Goku out of his senses. He is by far the strongest villain, not just in DBZ, but in all respects, including the DC and Marvel villains. He destroys planets and galaxies just in his sleep. Even the Kais are afraid of him getting angry.

   There is only one successor to Bills, and that is Whis, but we truly never knew how powerful Whis truly is.

2. Omega Shenron

   

   Omega Shenron is a fictional character from the anime series Dragon Ball GT, created by Akira Toriyama. He is the final and most powerful Shadow Dragon, formed from the negative energy of the Dragon Balls. Omega Shenron serves as the main antagonist during the final arc of the series.

   Omega Shenron is all of the Shadow Dragons combined and is most likely a nearly omnipotent personification of all the Dragon Balls. His power level is between 1,900,000,000 - 2,000,000,000. He has the second-highest overall power level in the whole Dragon Ball series.

   He easily beat SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta and has the potential to destroy the whole universe. He can only be beaten by a Universal Spirit Bomb and Gogeta SSJ4.

   He held his own against SSJ4 Gogeta. Need I say more?

3. Super Buu

   

   Super Buu is a fictional character from the anime series Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. He is one of the more dangerous and intelligent forms of the villain Majin Buu. Super Buu appears during the Majin Buu Saga and engages in major battles with characters such as Gohan and Gotenks.

   Super Buu is the strongest Majin, as stated several times. People often misinterpret Kid Buu as stronger, given inconsistencies in the anime, but Super Buu is stronger, if less dangerous. He's a total badass with some of the best techniques in Dragon Ball (Absorption, Genocide Blast).

   Also, shout-out to Janemba, who is, according to Goku, even stronger and basically the devil. Awesome. So glad to see Super Buu is so high.

   He is a very powerful humanoid being in DBZ. Super Buu absorbed Gotenks, Piccolo, and Ultimate Gohan, and his power level is about 1,700,000,000 to 1,750,000,000. He easily stomps Janemba.

4. Super 17

   

   Super 17 is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball GT anime series, which was developed by Toei Animation and based on Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball universe. He is the result of a fusion between Android 17 and Hell Fighter 17.... read more

   He is a fusion between Android 17 and Hell Fighter 17, created by Dr. Gero. He easily beat all of the Z-Fighters. His power level is approximately 1,500,000,000.

5. Broly

   

   Broly is a major character in the Dragon Ball franchise, originally appearing as the main antagonist in the Broly film trilogy and later in Dragon Ball Super: Broly. He is portrayed as a Legendary Super Saiyan, a rare transformation that appears once every thousand years. His father is Paragus, who plays... read more

   Broly is the ultimate Saiyan, and for anyone to discount that would be unwise. He beat the Z-Fighters like it was nothing, and it took all of them at their peak to destroy him. Honestly, only Bills and Omega Shenron are on his level of power (maybe Baby as an ape), but again, this is only a matter of opinion based on the movies.

   Maybe a tournament for all the villains would suit nicely?

   His power is limitless. Probably the strongest villain of Dragon Ball Z. He easily destroyed all Z-fighters, demolished Gohan SSJ2, and resisted, with his shield, the Kamehameha-brothers. Ki attacks and normal punches can't hurt him.

   Maybe he can only be killed with attacks like the ultimate attack of Gogeta. I don't think he stands a chance against Whis, Bills, Vegito, Gogeta, and the boss of Dragon Ball GT.

6. Baby

   

   Baby's ape form is his strongest and final form. Baby can easily beat SSJ Goku. He easily stomps Kid Buu, and his power level is approximately 1,300,000,000.

7. Janemba

   

   Janemba is a fictional character from the anime film Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, created by Akira Toriyama. He appears as the primary antagonist of the movie and is born from a malfunctioning Soul Cleansing Machine in the Other World.... read more

   Janemba is a very powerful demon from a different dimension. He easily beats SSJ3 Goku and SSJ2 Vegeta. Goku states that he's the most powerful thing he's ever faced. His power level is about 1,550,000,000 to 1,600,000,000. He was beaten by SSJ1 Gogeta and was turned into stardust by Gogeta's Stardust Breaker, ensuring he will never be seen again.

   If Janemba wasn't killed by Gogeta and considering all the villains who went to hell, Janemba could have absorbed their energy and potentially become as powerful as a God of Destruction.

   Janemba is my favorite. He should be mentioned more often. Don't sleep on him!

8. Kid Buu

   

   Kid Buu is a fictional character from the Dragon Ball Z anime series created by Akira Toriyama. He is the purest and original form of Majin Buu, making him extremely powerful and unpredictable. This version of Buu is known for his destructive tendencies and childlike yet brutal demeanor. Fans often view... read more

   He first destroyed Earth and many other planets in a matter of minutes. Also, don't forget his fast learning techniques from mimicking other fighters. He doesn't have any form of compassion or remorse for any of his actions.

   He's one of the best villains of all time. He's pure evil, ruthless, and has never shown mercy or weakness. He's the ultimate villain who can easily take on Goku and many Saiyan fighters simultaneously.

   He is a child-like version of Super Buu and is most likely equal to SS3 Goku. His power level is 1,150,000,000.

9. Frieza

   

   Frieza is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball series created by Akira Toriyama. He is the main antagonist of the Frieza Saga and is known as a tyrannical ruler of the Frieza Force.

   Feared across the universe for his power and cruelty, Frieza plays a major role in the series' events. He is... read more

   Why is Frieza so low on the list? He pushed Goku and Vegeta to their new forms in his movie. He was the reason Goku became a Super Saiyan. Why is he ranked below that toxic Janemba?

   God of Saiyans. He is the strongest villain of all time. He beat Beerus with one finger. Even Omega Shenron cannot defeat Frieza because Frieza's power level is 7,637,237,900.

   He's stronger than Goku and Vegeta!

10. Hatchiyak

    

    Hatchiyack is a machine that was created by the Tuffle scientist Dr. Raichi. It first appeared as the secret boss of the video game Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku, and is an antagonist in the OVA Dragon Ball Z: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans. He easily beat the Z-Fighters and has a power level between 1,450,000,000 - 1,500,000,000.

The Contenders

His goal is to achieve a "perfect" form by absorbing Androids 17 and 18, which he accomplishes in the series before... read more

    Cell should be in the top 10, as even Goku couldn't defeat him when he was the strongest Saiyan. He is unstoppable and powerful.

    Cell was unstoppable in all his forms, so he should be ranked 3.

    Super Buu should be 2, and Bills should be 1.

14. Zarbon

    

    Zarbon is a high-ranking commander in the Frieza Force and serves as Frieza's right-hand man. He works alongside Dodoria and plays a major role in advising Frieza on strategic matters, including the destruction of the Saiyan race.

15. Dodoria

    

    Dodoria is one of Frieza's two most trusted subordinates in an army of millions. He is almost always seen beside Frieza, executing his orders and carrying out violent missions alongside Zarbon. Dodoria plays a key role in advising Frieza and enacting ruthless strategies to expand his master's dominion,... read more

16. Golden Frieza

    

    Yeah, he should be in front of Super Buu. He was as strong as Goku in his Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan form.

17. Jeice

    

    Jeice is a fictional character from the anime series Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. He is a member of the Ginyu Force, an elite team of mercenaries who serve under Frieza.

Raditz is a Saiyan warrior who arrives on Earth to recruit Goku for a conquest mission but is ultimately defeated by Goku and... read more

    Raditz was pretty tough. He wasn't hurt at all when he first met Piccolo, and even when Goku and Piccolo took him on together, they barely managed to defeat him.

    The only reason they won is because Goku put Raditz in a full nelson, giving Piccolo just enough time to kill them both. He deserves at least a little credit.

24. Pui Pui

    

    Pui Pui is a fictional character in the anime series Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama. He appears during the Majin Buu Saga as one of Babidi's minions and is known for guarding the first stage of Babidi's spaceship.

    Hit is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Dragon Ball Super, created by Akira Toriyama. He is an assassin from Universe 6 and is recognized for his powerful time-skipping ability. He plays a major role in the Universe 6 versus Universe 7 tournament arc.

    Hit easily beats Goku's Super Saiyan Blue and improves immediately.

    He's ridiculously overpowered and stronger than Beerus for that reason.
