When we talk about the strongest characters in Dragon Ball, many people might think immediately of Saiyan warriors like Vegeta, Goku, and Broly. However, in reality, there are numerous powerful characters in Dragon Ball who are not Saiyans. Here are 10 names that fit this description:
10. Jiren

Jiren does not belong to Universe 7 like Goku; he is from Universe 11 and is considered the strongest warrior there. During the Tournament of Power, Son Goku had to struggle to keep up with Jiren and even used Ultra Instinct multiple times.
Jiren can fly with incredible speed and survive in space for extended periods without needing any spacecraft.
9. Cell Max
Cell Max is a character appearing in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. Unlike regular Cell, Cell Max is an upgraded version and only retains a similar appearance.
Cell Max lacks emotions and has a singular objective: to eliminate all warriors of Earth. Unlike Cell, he cannot regenerate, but he possesses a strength that far exceeds many others.
8. Moro
Moro is a character featured in the arc “Galactic Patrol Prisoner.” He is a powerful sorcerer with immense combat abilities and a profound knowledge of dark magic. Even when sealed away, no one was able to defeat him, leading to his imprisonment for over 10 million years.
Moro once destroyed the Galactic system of the Iragi Star and brought devastation across over 320 planets. He even has the ability to “devour” the life energy of a planet to enhance his strength.
7. Granolah
Granolah is the last surviving member of the Cerealian race. After making a wish on the Dragon Balls of Planet Cereal, he became the strongest warrior in the universe. With his techniques, strategies, and combat abilities granted by the Dragon, Granolah could rival both Goku and Vegeta.
However, the price he had to pay for such power was that Granolah only had three years left to live.
6. Gas
Gas is a member of the Heeter family. After a wish granted by Elec, the leader of the Heeters, and the Dragon of Planet Cereal, Gas became the strongest warrior in the universe. He can easily overpower the two Saiyan warriors Goku and Vegeta.
Of course, Gas’s age has significantly decreased to achieve this status.
5. Frieza
Before Goku achieved the Super Saiyan form, Frieza was the strongest warrior in the universe. His power was far beyond that of other warriors.
After intense training, this villain attained the form of Golden Frieza. In chapter 87 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, he has now reached a new form called Black Frieza. In this form, Frieza completely overpowered Gas and defeated both Ultra Ego Vegeta and Ultra Instinct Goku.
4. Beerus
Beerus is the God of Destruction who appears in the Dragon Ball Super series. In terms of power, Beerus is the strongest deity in Universe 7, and even the Kais and Supreme Kais must be wary of him.
His destructive abilities are enough to wipe out planets, erase the entire Universe, or even annihilate the entire multiverse of Dragon Ball. Beerus often uses his powers to eliminate planets he finds unworthy.
3. Whis and his siblings

Whis and his siblings are angels with immense powers and high-ranking positions in the hierarchy of deities within the Dragon Ball Super universe. Their primary duty is to attend to, train, and supervise the actions of the Gods of Destruction.
The full extent of the angels’ powers remains largely a mystery, as they have not been fully disclosed. However, it is known that they hold immense authority.
2. Grand Priest
The Grand Priest is the father of Whis and is recognized as the most powerful angel among all. As the strongest being serving Zen-Oh, he is second in command in the universe, capable of erasing everything with a mere thought. Furthermore, Whis has stated that his powers are just a fraction of the strength held by the Grand Priest.
1. Zeno

Zeno is regarded as the most powerful being in the universe, capable of erasing everything in existence. No one knows the full extent of Zeno’s power, as he can wipe out anything from individuals to entire universes with just a thought. It is truly daunting that Beerus has indicated that if Zeno were to become displeased, he could erase all 12 universes with a single gesture. This is why Zeno is often viewed as the strongest character in Dragon Ball Super.
