The Granolah arc of Dragon Ball Super was one that fans of the franchise loved. This was primarily due to the strong storytelling aspects that tied back to the history of the Saiyans and how it affected the three main characters of the arc, mostly Vegeta. In this narrative, Vegeta had to come to terms with the bloody past of his people as well as his own.

Most memorably, Vegeta's best moment came with his achievement of Ultra Ego; a form that allows him to house the power of the Destroyer Gods and one that finally brings him to the same level as Ultra Instinct Goku. However, despite this, the form is incomplete, which means that there are quite a few Dragon Ball characters who are still stronger than him.

Dragon Ball: The Strongest Attacks of The Main Cast, Ranked

The main cast of Dragon Ball Super are all absurdly powerful, so let's take a look at all of their most powerful attacks.

Gohan Beast Doesn't Have The Same Limitations As Ultra Ego

A Form Born From Unlimited Potential

  • Gohan's ultimate state.

In the Super Hero arc, Gohan awakes a power that makes full use of his incredible potential, eventually bringing him to the same level as his father and the other most powerful heroes in the multiverse. With this newfound strength, not only did Gohan defeat Cell Max, he was also seen equally trading blows with Ultra Instinct Goku in a sparring match.

Some fans would argue that Gohan Beast is below Ultra Ego Vegeta due to the latter having the greatest offensive output of any mortal due to the Energy of Destruction. While this part is true, Gohan Beast is ultimately more stable than Ultra Ego, and it doesn't need to take damage to get stronger, which would put Gohan as the victor if the two of them were to fight.

Goku's Ultra Instinct Is Far More Refined Than Ultra Ego

The Ultimate Technique

  • Goku uses the technique of the Angels.

This may be a more contentious pick among fans due to the showing both heroes had in the Granolah arc, but ultimately, it can't be denied that Ultra Instinct is far more refined than Ultra Ego. Although Ultra Ego had a far more successful battle against Granolah and showed unparalleled offensive power, it eventually proved to be incredibly inefficient in the long run.

Ultra Instinct's unique property allows the body to evade danger on its own so that the user can put all of their focus and power on offense, whereas Ultra Ego requires the user to take damage in order to grow stronger. However, at the current moment, Ultra Ego doesn't reinforce the body or make it extra durable, so all of that damage tends to stay, making it inefficient.

Granolah Even Overpowered Ultra Ego In Their Fight

A Powerful Foe

  • Unlocked an even stronger form.

Granolah was one of the most beloved antagonists to have ever been introduced in the franchise. Although he acted as a villain for the initial part of his arc, it was eventually revealed that he had a storied history with the Saiyan race, prompting him to dedicate his entire life to seeking revenge against them and Frieza, which is what made his path cross with Goku and Vegeta.

When his battle against Vegeta began, Granolah was quickly placed on the back foot against the awesome and unprecedented power of Ultra Ego. However, by the end of the fight, he awakened a second Red Eye which greatly increased his power, allowing him to overpower his foe, though the final attack would have taken his life as well.

Gogeta's Strength Combines That Of Both Goku And Vegeta

The Strongest Fusion

  • The strength of two legends.

Gogeta is the product of the merger of the two strongest Saiyans in the universe. Although he hasn't been seen since the fight with Broly, it can still be surmised that his overall power is greater than that of Ultra Ego Vegeta, purely because of the fact that when he is created, Goku and Vegeta's power is added together and then multiplied greatly on top of that.

This gives him unprecedented strength in just his base and Super Saiyan forms, so him using God Ki to achieve Super Saiyan Blue makes him even more of a powerhouse. Most fans believe that this, as well as the incomplete nature of Ultra Ego, sets Gogeta far above the Prince of Saiyans.

Black Frieza Made Very Short Work Of Vegeta's Ultimate Form

The Galactic Tyrant

  • The strongest mortal in the multiverse.

The Granolah arc was full of surprises that changed the entire power-scaling landscape of the franchise. Of course, Ultra Ego was among these because of how it finally gave Vegeta a Divine Form that brought him to the level of his rival. However, the greatest shock came at the end of the arc with the return of Frieza.

Frieza had been absent from the series for quite a while, so when he made his return, fans were curious about what he may have been up to in all of this time. Here, he showed his brand-new Black Frieza transformation, which scales him miles above the main cast of characters, since he managed to knock out Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta with a single punch.

Beerus Is The Strongest Being In All Of Universe 7

The God of Destruction

  • The greatest Destroyer.

Ever since his introduction, Beerus has repeatedly acted like a moving goalpost for the heroes to measure their strength against. Just when they think they've reached his level, Beerus keeps making the gap far greater, which just goes to show how otherworldly his true strength truly may be.

Beerus also acts as a sort of teacher for Vegeta so that the Saiyan can properly hone and utilize the Energy of Destruction, though the difference between their mastery over it is still night and day. Although Vegeta is stronger than ever because of Ultra Ego, Beerus exists on a level far above it.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
