Dragon Ball: 5 Strongest Characters in the Granolah the Survivor Arc, Ranked

by

The Dragon Ball series is currently at a fascinating point when it comes to character power levels. Since the Tournament of Power, the main characters have become much stronger than ever before, thanks to incredible transformations that really highlight their unique abilities.

The Granolah arc really raised the stakes with incredible power increases for both the heroes and villains. It also clearly established the power levels within the Dragon Ball universe. Let’s take a look at the five strongest characters from that arc.

Vegeta Realized His Own Divine Transformation With Ultra Ego

The Power of the Destroyers

  • Vegeta realized the power of the Gods of Destruction.

When it comes to sheer offensive power, Vegeta is arguably the strongest. After struggling to master Ultra Instinct, he discovered his own unique path to greater strength. He began training with Beerus, aiming to unlock Ultra Ego – a form that allows him to wield the immense power of a Destroyer.

Throughout the recent storyline, Ultra Ego presented a formidable challenge for Granolah, initially surpassing even Goku’s Mastered Ultra Instinct in power, despite being an imperfect and flawed transformation. Ultimately, though, this imperfection led to Vegeta’s loss, as his inexperience with the form caused him to sustain too much damage and be defeated.

Granolah Was An Incredible Villain And A Powerhouse To Battle

The Last Cerealian

  • Underwent multiple power ups.

Granolah deeply resented the Saiyans because of painful experiences in his past. Driven by this hatred, he used the Cerealian Dragon Balls to wish for the power to become the strongest fighter in Universe 7, sacrificing his remaining lifespan in the process.

Initially, Granolah was incredibly powerful, easily defeating even those in the Ultra Instinct form with a single blow. While Vegeta’s Ultra Ego eventually surpassed him, Granolah pushed himself further, achieving a new level of strength that allowed him to overcome Vegeta. The story culminated in a final attack from Granolah that threatened to destroy both him and Vegeta.

Goku Managed To Unlock The Ideal Version Of Ultra Instinct

In Touch With His Saiyan Emotions

  • An Angel’s technique with a Saiyan’s powers.

Goku’s Ultra Instinct transformation during the Tournament of Power was different from his other power-ups because it required him to suppress all emotions and achieve a completely calm state. However, as shown in the Granolah arc, Goku discovered that he still needs to rely on his natural Saiyan abilities to continue getting stronger.

Initially, Goku’s Ultra Instinct wasn’t very effective – it even lost to Vegeta’s incomplete Ultra Ego and Granolah. But later in the story, Goku mastered a perfected form of Ultra Instinct. This new version combined his technique with his natural Saiyan abilities and fighting spirit, briefly making him more powerful than even Gas.

Gas Made The Same Wish As Granolah, But Even Greater

The Main Villain of the Arc

  • The Strongest Heeter.

A lot of fans didn’t like how quickly Granolah became so powerful, but the idea of sacrificing everything for strength was a key part of the story. Gas made the same kind of wish, and ultimately became the strongest being in the entire Dragon Ball universe.

He initially found himself outmatched by opponents like the Saiyans and Granolah. Recognizing this, he unleashed his full power, growing incredibly strong at an alarming rate. However, this rapid increase in strength began to destroy his body. While he briefly surpassed his enemies, the price of such power was ultimately too high.

Black Frieza Is The Most Powerful Mortal In The Entire Series

The Return of the Galactic Tyrant

  • The strongest in the universe.

I always thought it was odd how quickly Frieza vanished after appearing in the Tournament of Power. Fans figured he’d be back eventually, but nobody predicted how he’d return. It was a real surprise to see him show up at the end of the Granolah arc with a completely new form!

Black Frieza represents the absolute peak of Frieza’s power. After training for ten years within a special time chamber, he achieved a transformation so incredible that he defeated Gas, Goku, and Vegeta with a single blow, even though they were all at their strongest. Currently, Black Frieza is the most powerful mortal being in the Dragon Ball universe, potentially rivaling even the Gods of Destruction.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
