Dragon Ball: 7 Strongest Versions of Vegeta in the Multiverse, Ranked

by

Vegeta, Goku’s longtime rival, is consistently one of the strongest characters in the entire Dragon Ball universe. No matter the story – whether it’s part of the main series, a side story, or a spin-off – Vegeta always strives to become more powerful. He quickly closes the gap between his strength and Goku’s, and in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, he finally surpasses Kakarot, proving he’s the stronger fighter.

Throughout the various Dragon Ball series – including the manga, DBZ, DBGT, DAIMA, and Dragon Ball Heroes – there are many different versions of Vegeta. However, they all share a common trait: incredible strength. No matter the specific story or universe, Vegeta consistently manages to overcome his enemies and establish himself as one of the most powerful characters in the entire Dragon Ball multiverse.

7. DAIMA Vegeta Unlocked Super Saiyan 3 Faster Than Goku & With Less Effort

Dragon Ball DAIMA

Goku spent seven years training in the afterlife to achieve Super Saiyan 3, and even then, he could only use it because his body wasn’t burdened by the form’s energy drain. In contrast, Vegeta from Dragon Ball DAIMA learned and perfected Super Saiyan 3 in under a year, and doesn’t experience any energy drain when using it – even while fighting powerful opponents like Tamagami Number Two and Giant Gomah.

The new series, Dragon Ball DAIMA, shows a lot of potential for Vegeta, staying true to his determined spirit. However, like Goku in DAIMA, Vegeta is limited by the show’s placement in the Dragon Ball timeline. Because DAIMA is set just one year after the defeat of Kid Buu, this version of Vegeta isn’t as powerful as later versions who can use God Ki and Super Saiyan 4.

6. Baby Vegeta is One of the Strongest Villains in the Franchise

Dragon Ball GT

In Dragon Ball GT, Baby Vegeta – created when Baby possesses Vegeta’s body – is one of Goku’s most formidable and dangerous enemies. He manages to conquer Earth and almost defeats Goku. The power Baby grants Vegeta is immense, allowing him to surpass even Super Saiyan 3 Goku and become a serious threat to Super Saiyan 4 Goku.

Baby Vegeta, in his Golden Great Ape form, is incredibly powerful in Dragon Ball GT – he almost defeated Goku’s Super Saiyan 4 form, but lacked full control. Instead of relying on Super Saiyan transformations, Baby Vegeta utilizes unique hybrid forms born from his Tuffle and Saiyan heritage, which he considers his most powerful states. It speaks to Vegeta’s inherent skill that he ultimately becomes stronger than Baby Vegeta by the end of the series.

5. GT Vegeta Caught Up to Super Saiyan 4 Goku Like It Was Nothing

Dragon Ball GT

Vegeta in Dragon Ball GT continues the character development he showed at the end of the Kid Buu Saga, meaning he’s moved past his long-standing rivalry with Goku. However, he remains strong and dedicated to training. In fact, Vegeta is one of the few fighters capable of holding his own against Super 17, and many believe he would have been a more effective teammate for Goku in the battle against the Shadow Dragons than Pan was.

Just before the fight with Syn Shenron, Vegeta uses Blutz Waves to artificially reach the Super Saiyan 4 form. Even though he didn’t train much throughout Dragon Ball GT, Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 4 power is equal to Goku’s. This is shown by their ability to successfully perform the Fusion Dance without Vegeta having to reduce his power level, which demonstrates how incredibly strong he is even in his normal state.

4. Copy-Vegeta is Just as Strong as Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta When He Fought Hit

Dragon Ball Super Anime

Copy-Vegeta is the primary antagonist of a story arc in the Dragon Ball Super anime. He’s essentially a perfect copy of Vegeta, appearing as he did right after the Tournament of Destroyers, and serves as a clear reference to the Baby Vegeta character from Dragon Ball GT. Like Vegeta at that time, Copy-Vegeta possesses all the same abilities and can transform into Super Saiyan Blue, among other forms he used during his fight with Hit.

Throughout a portion of Dragon Ball Super, Goku and Vegeta—both in their Super Saiyan Blue forms—are evenly matched in power. Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken ability isn’t used during their fight, and otherwise, they have equal strength, preventing either from gaining an advantage.

3. Toei Vegeta Still Hasn’t Surpassed Super Saiyan Blue Evolved in the Anime

Dragon Ball Z & Dragon Ball Super Anime + Movies

Toei Vegeta refers to the version of the character Vegeta as he appears in the Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super anime series, and all related movies. While Goku frequently receives significant power increases in the anime, Toei Vegeta’s strength generally aligns with his portrayal in the original manga. A drawback for Toei Vegeta is that the Dragon Ball Super anime concluded with the Tournament of Power, leaving Super Saiyan Blue Evolved as his most powerful on-screen form.

Akira Toriyama wrote the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero movie around the same time Toyotarou was working on the Moro and Granolah the Survivor arcs, meaning the new Ultra Ego transformation wasn’t a factor. Despite this, Vegeta wins against Goku in the movie, suggesting that the version of Vegeta shown in the film is a little stronger than the version of Goku. When the Dragon Ball Super anime finally covers the Granolah arc (likely in two or three years), this version of Vegeta will likely be considered one of the most powerful iterations of the Saiyan Prince ever.

2. Xeno Vegeta is One of the Most Powerful Warriors in the Multiverse

Super Dragon Ball Heroes

Xeno Vegeta is a version of Vegeta from the Super Dragon Ball Heroes series. Similar to Xeno Goku, he’s incredibly strong even without the ability to use God Ki. He comes from a timeline where he and Goku lived through a version of the Dragon Ball GT story, though it differs from the anime, as Goku remains alive. Xeno Vegeta’s most powerful form is Super Full Power Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker, which is comparable in strength to Super Saiyan Blue Evolved.

In the Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime, Full Power SSJ4 Limit Breaker Xeno Vegeta is powerful enough to defeat an enhanced Janemba. He also defeats Gravy, a very strong wizard from the Demon Realm and Dark Empire. While Xeno Vegeta isn’t quite as strong as Xeno Goku (or Capsule Corp Goku), he’s nearly as powerful and can easily match his rival’s strength.

1. Canon Vegeta is Even Stronger Than Goku

Dragon Ball & Dragon Ball Super Manga

Vegeta is currently at his strongest point in the official Dragon Ball story. By the end of chapter 103 of Dragon Ball Super, he’s defeated Goku in a legitimate match, achieved the Ultra Ego transformation through training with Beerus, and even battled Gohan in his Beast form. Despite still primarily using Super Saiyan Blue Evolved because he hasn’t fully mastered Ultra Ego, Vegeta’s ability to compete with Gohan Beast demonstrates just how incredibly powerful he is, even when not fighting at his absolute limit.

With Vegeta now possessing Ultra Ego, it seems unlikely Goku’s Ultra Instinct will ever give him a significant edge again. Motivated by his quick defeat at the hands of Black Frieza, Vegeta is training intensely with Beerus. This dedication will likely allow him to fully master Ultra Ego and unlock a level of destructive power unmatched by anyone else in the Dragon Ball universe. It wouldn’t be surprising if Vegeta becomes strong enough to take over as Universe 7’s God of Destruction before Dragon Ball Super concludes.
