1. Goku Ultra Instinct
First appearance | Dragon Ball Super, Episode 129, “A transcendental limit breach! Autonomous superior instinct dominated!” |
Since the power tournament, Goku has improved his most powerful ability: ultra instinct , divine technique that allows the body to automatically react to attacks. Previously, this form represented a challenge, but later Goku perfected her, assuming the role of leader of the protectors of Universe 7. Thus, he remains the symbol of peace and the greatest martial artist in the franchise.
2. Vegeta Ultra Ego
First appearance | Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 74, “Vegeta vs. Granolah” |
While Goku embraced the strength of angels, Vegeta followed another way, summoning the destructive power with the ultra ego. Although it has no full dominance yet, its ability to transform damage into offensive force makes it essential in the group. Therefore, Vegeta stands out as the team's "tank", absorbing impacts to retaliate with overwhelming attacks.
3. Gohan Beast
First appearance | Movie Dragon Ball Super: Superhero |
Although Gohan has always presented extraordinary potential, his Beast transformation raised this to another level. Surprisingly, with little training, he reached the same level of power of Goku and Vegeta, thus proving his natural ability. Although this divides opinions among fans, undeniably Gohan will be one of the pillars of the future of the series, using brute strength to dominate opponents.
4. Broly Super Saiyan
First appearance | Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The legendary Super Saiyan |
Previously, Broly was known for his huge strength, but unable to control her. However, he recently demonstrated that he has gained dominance in his legendary form, managing to fight alongside the other heroes. Eventually, by completely mastering this power, Broly could become the strongest of all.
5. Orange Piccolo
First appearance | Movie Dragon Ball Super: Superhero |
Surprisingly, Piccolo, always underestimated in terms of strength, now equals Saiyans with their orange transformation. Although not the most offensive of the group, its strategic role will be crucial to intelligently lead the future battles, thus ensuring balance to the team.
What to expect from Toyototarō to Dragon Ball?
Toyotarō should keep Toriyama's legacy in Dragon Ball, expanding divine techniques and strengthening characters such as Gohan, Broly and Piccolo. Thus, the future of the franchise promises a balance between tradition and innovation, with new sagas and impactful transformations.
