Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama passed away in early March, leaving behind a gigantic legacy for pop culture. With over 260 million copies sold worldwide and anime broadcast in 40 countries, the Dragon Ball saga has left a lasting mark on fans' memories. The series, which tells the saga of Goku, also features prominent female characters. Let's remember these extremely powerful female warriors from the Dragon Ball anime.

Caulifla's best friend, Kale is quite shy and rarely shows her power. But when she gets stressed, she becomes a true Broly.

The Angels are far more powerful beings than the Gods of Destruction. Marcarita is an assistant to the God of Destruction of Universe 11, Vermoud, and incredibly one of the strongest in the saga.

Another angel from the saga, although Vados is an assistant to the God of Destruction of Universe 6, she is more powerful than her brother, Whis, who faced Goku and Vegeta without difficulty.

Akira began his creative journey in 1978. However, it was with Dr. Slump, published weekly in Shonen Jump from 1980 to 1984, that he won the hearts of the public , generating 18 collected volumes and becoming the basis for the first anime inspired by a work by Toriyama.

His name shone even brighter with the iconic Dragon Ball series. Recognized as one of the cornerstones of the "Golden Age of Jump," Dragon Ball became a global phenomenon, leading Toriyama to dedicate himself intensely to the series from 1984 to 1995. During those eleven years, he produced 42 volumes, totaling almost 10,000 pages of thrilling adventures.
