In anime, you are already aware of the earliest transformations: Ultra Instinct, Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, Legendary Saiyan, and so on. However, some more powerful transformations have already debuted in the Dragon Ball Super manga. So let’s get right to this fantastic list that fans have been asking for.
Top 10 Most Powerful Transformations In Dragon Ball Franchise
10. Super Saiyan Rage
Trunks is the only character who has only one type of transformation, i.e., Super Saiyan-like forms. However, he continues to train and advance super saiyan power to its full potential. As a result, he succeeded in achieving the most divine version of Super Saiyan.
This transformation is similar to the regular Super Saiyan or Super Trunks. However, intense rage powers its achievement, which is why people call this form Super Saiyan Rage. After being defeated by Goku Black’s Super Saiyan Rose and Future Zamasu’s lethal combination, Future Trunks first achieved this transformation during the “Future” Trunks Saga.
Everyone also told him that he alone caused all the misery his timeline had experienced. As a result, Trunks really pushes his limit in Super Trunks form and eventually turns into Super Saiyan Rage, overflowing with rage like never before. Most fans underestimate this form and are unaware of its true power.
It is not easy to battle against Zamasu, the fusion of God Zamasu and Goku Black, on his own. As a result, this form deserves to rank on our list of the most powerful transformations in Dragon Ball.
9. Super Saiyan Blue Evolved
Super Saiyan Blue Evolved is another advanced version of the Super Saiyan Blue transformation that was used by Vegeta. Vegeta is the only character to achieve this powerful transformation in the Dragon Ball franchise. When he encountered difficulties against powerful opponents, particularly Jiren, he first used this form during the tournament of power.
He thought of Cabba and his intense desire to uphold his word to the young Saiyan. This led him to be pushed to his limit and achieve this transformation. In this strongest form, Vegeta looks similar to his previous transformations, but his black hair (spiky hair) turns blue hair and becomes more stiff.
Furthermore, his muscle mass increases significantly, and he gets an enormous amount of aura, which is dark blue. Despite getting an amazing transformation, he is no match for Jiren’s true power, and he is unfortunately defeated by him.
However, in the Dragon Ball Super manga, he is currently at a new level, and all of his previous forms have become more powerful than before. As a result, we include the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Form of Vegeta in our list.
8. Perfect Super Saiyan Blue
Perfected Super Saiyan Blue is simply referred to as Super Saiyan God SS (SSGSS). The only physical distinction between this state and a regular Super Saiyan Blue transformation is the absence of their aura. In Super Saiyan Blue form, Goku has lower stamina than a standard, imperfect form of Super Saiyan.
As a result, he would often only be able to maintain the peak of this form for a short while. On the other hand, in his perfected Super Saiyan Blue form, he can use this form for a long period of time and also enhance its power level.
Goku achieved this legendary transformation by rigorously training, and he also improved his Super Saiyan Blue form in order to increase his endurance. As a result, he mastered the art of concentrating his energy and harnessing his radiating aura inside his body.
Due to his excellent control over this form, he is capable of combining Super Kaio-ken with it to make it far more powerful than before. Throughout the franchise, he used the Kaio-ken technique multiple times to defeat several powerful opponents.
7. Super Saiyan 4 Full Power- Most Powerful Transformations In Dragon Ball GT
Super Saiyan 4 Full Power is a progression of the Super Saiyan 4 transformation. Goku is the only character to attain this strongest form in Dragon Ball GT. This form greatly increases Goku’s power as well as sharpens his senses. As a result, it enables him to respond to any type of virtual threat.
This transformation is only possible for Saiyans who have amassed a massive amount of life energy in order to surpass the limits of a regular Super Saiyan. In this form, his appearance doesn’t change much, but a red glow radiates from his entire body to represent the transcended state.
Goku attained this form through the combined donations of Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Pan. This donation pushed his body well beyond its normal limits, allowing him to achieve Super Saiyan 4 Full Power. After he achieved this godly level, people saw him absorb energy assaults, negate their damage, and utilize the energy for his own use.
6. Legendary Super Saiyan- Broly‘s Most Powerful Transformations In Dragon Ball
Legendary Super Saiyan is an enormously potent and berserker Super Saiyan transformation that appears alongside its users once every thousand years. Ancient Saiyan folklore mentions this monstrous form as an entity of enormous power.
Because the user’s love of ruination and massacring compares to the Super Saiyan of legend, people refer to this form of Broly as the ‘Legendary Super Saiyan’. People mention that perhaps this instinct-driven form is the true Super Saiyan mentioned in legends.
It is the true appearance and distinct form of a Saiyan, and the user who attained it is known as a “legendary Saiyan.” Because the legendary Super Saiyan’s hair initially appeared yellowish green, you can easily distinguish his appearance from other Super Saiyan types.
As Broly enters Super Saiyan full power form his hair color transforms from green to golden blond hair while also losing conscious control.
5. Full Power- Granolah‘s Strongest Form
Granolah first appeared as a villain and later became an ally of Goku and Vegeta. After Vegeta’s Ultra Ego defeated him and he witnessed a life-or-death situation in his base form, he finally achieved a new transformation known as Full Power.
In this form, his eye transformed and turned red, which enhanced his seeing abilities to the fullest extent. Due to achieving this form, he became more powerful than Vegeta’s Ultra Ego and became too invincible.
Furthermore, he is the one who fights one-on-one against Gas’s base and is about to defeat him until Gas gets a new transformation. If gas hadn’t damaged his eyes, he would definitely hold the third position on our list. However, even though Monaito healed his eyes later, he still couldn’t use it to its full extent.
4. Ultra Ego- Vegeta‘s Strongest Form
Ultra Ego is Vegeta’s most powerful transformation in Dragon Ball Super 2, and fans are desperate to experience this thrilling moment in animation. Since Goku got a new transformation, Ultra Instinct, Vegeta is eagerly awaiting a new transformation.
In the Granolah Survivor saga, he finally gets Ultra Ego, a tremendously more powerful form than all of his other common transformations. He unlocked this form through his determination and intense training with Destruction Beerus.
By unlocking an entirely new form filled with enormous life energy, Vegeta adds a new form to the Saiyan transformation lines. The best part about this form is that the more damage he takes, the stronger he becomes. His form is quite similar to that of the God of Destruction and provides him with the power of a Hakai (destroyer).
In this form, he looks similar to Goku’s Super Saiyan 3, such as having no eyebrows. Ultra Ego form also reminds us of the phantom Majin form of Vegeta, which he shows in Dragon Ball Z. He first demonstrates his Ultra Ego form in the fight against Granolah. After that, he also used his Ultra Ego form against Gas alongside Goku’s Ultra Instinct to defeat him.
3. True Ultra Instinct- Goku’s Strongest Form
We already witnessed Goku’s true ultra-instinct form in Tournament of Power. It is the strongest transformation in the Dragon Ball Super anime that Goku used to withstand Jiren’s tremendous power. Goku entered God Mode while achieving autonomous Ultra Instinct form, allowing him to easily dodge any attack.
However, you will be shocked to know that this is just a preview of this form. In the Dragon Ball Super manga, Goku became capable of accessing the perfected Ultra Instinct form at his own will. Moreover, he will stay in the form for a long period of time and also improved energy control.
Furthermore, he can now use the full extent of the autonomous Ultra Instinct form, whether it is offensive or defensive. On the other hand, this form of Goku is stronger than most of the Gods of Destruction and has become an invincible fighter.
While fighting Moro, he also enhanced this form with the help of his friends, resulting in a massive avatar. Due to his deadliest fight in his perfected Ultra Instinct form with a divine version of Moro, it is considered one of the most powerful transformations in Dragon Ball.
2. Aging State- Gas‘s Strongest Form
Gas is the new antagonist of the Dragon Ball Super manga series and plays a primary role in the Granolah Survivor saga. As the newest villain, he has undergone an incredible transformation and wields enormous power. Throughout the series, he attained four powerful transformations, the most powerful of which was his aging state.
While attaining this form, he looked similar to a zombie, and he became increase in size with a skinnier body. Despite his clumsy outward appearance, he is incredibly powerful and is unaffected by Goku and Vegeta’s attacks.
You can estimate how powerful he became by the fact that he outmatched Goku, Vegeta, and Granolah in their most powerful forms, Ultra Instinct, Ultra Ego, and Full Power. Even though Black Frieza killed him with a single blow, he might also outmatch Black Frieza if Black Frieza can’t attack him suddenly.
1. Black Frieza- Most Powerful Transformations In Dragon Ball
You will be shocked to learn that Frieza, a space tyrant, currently has the most powerful transformation in Dragon Ball. Because he turns black in color after the transformation, he named this incredible transformation Black Frieza.
He first demonstrates this transformation in the 87th chapter of the Dragon Ball Super manga, titled “The Universe’s Strongest Appears.” After spending 10 years of intense training in the hyperbolic time chamber, he attained this incredible transformation.
You can get an idea of how powerful this form is from the fact that Frieza killed Gas’s Aging State form in a single blow. Furthermore, he also knocked out Vegeta’s Ultra Ego and Goku’s True Ultra Instinct in a single blow. However, his new moves and techniques are yet to be shown, but he definitely improved energy control, which he lacked in his previous form.
Honorable Mentions:
1. Beast Gohan
Beast Gohan is the most powerful form of Gohan that has not appeared in the Dragon Ball anime and manga series. However, it is quite a strongest form and brings his level of power to a godly level. Gohan first took on this form in the latest Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Movie to battle Cell Max, who is far stronger than the previous Cell.
In this form, his hair turns white and his eyes turn red, which gives him a fearsome look. Beast Gohan is the ultimate add-on in the Saiyan transformation lines, which is only unlocked by Son Gohan. Furthermore, it is not wrong to say that this form is one of the most attractive transformations of the franchise.
2. Orange Piccolo
Orange Piccolo is another great transformation that debuted in the latest Super Dragon Ball Heroes movie. Prior to this form, he just used his common transformations, such as Super Namek and Super Namekian, which he got in Dragon Ball Z.
Piccolo is the one who achieved this form after granting a bonus wish to Shenron that boosted his power level to the highest level. It is the first time that Piccolo gets a proper Namekian transformation in the franchise. In this Namekian transformation, he became bulkier and larger, as well as turning orange in color. In defeating Cell Max, he played a major role and was able to hold him for a longer time on his own by using max power.
