Dragon Ball: 7 Strong Female Characters

The Dragon Ball franchise thrives on grand fights, fierce rivalries, and characters consistently testing their boundaries. Although Goku, Vegeta, and many male warriors frequently grab the spotlight, it’s worth noting that the series has also brought forth numerous formidable female characters who have left an indelible mark.

These women demonstrate their might, ability, or unwavering spirit, and they have shown they are worthy of being counted among the most powerful fighters in the cosmos. The following list presents the top seven female characters from Dragon Ball, arranged according to their strength level.

7. Pan

The Quarter-Saiyan

Growing up, I was blessed with the genetics of both Goku and Gohan, placing me among the most naturally talented Saiyans in the Dragon Ball universe. Even as a kid in Dragon Ball GT, I took on significant roles within the series, working closely with Goku and Trunks during our early intergalactic expedition. Unlike other Saiyan hybrids who were hesitant to engage in combat, my innate passion for battle was evident, sometimes putting me in precarious positions.

Despite not reaching the transformative feats of her forebears, Pan’s inherent fighting prowess was indisputable. In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, we see Pan training under Piccolo, similar to how Gohan did before. Her swift advancement suggests a tremendous power reserve that she might unleash.

6. Videl

The Champion’s Daughter

Before encountering Gohan, Videl was known as the crime-busting champion of Satan City. Being Mr. Satan’s daughter, she crafted a unique fighting approach by blending his martial arts skills with savvy, urban fighting tactics.

The Great Saiyaman tale introduced us to a resolute young woman who refused to accept ‘no’ as an answer, doggedly pursuing Gohan until he consented to instruct her on ki control and flight techniques. Under Gohan’s tutelage, she evolved from a proficient martial artist into a powerhouse capable of managing energy.

Videl really shone through due to her courage when confronted by impossible odds. In the World Tournament arc, she bravely faced off against Spopovich, even though he was much more powerful. This display of a warrior’s heart gained admiration not only from ordinary people but also from the Z-fighters themselves.

5. Cocotte

The Only Woman Among Universe 11’s Elite

The eleventh universe’s Pride Trooper showcased a distinctive talent during the Battle of Gods, the capability to generate miniature dimensions. Her advanced maneuver, named “Cocotte Zone,” served either to imprison adversaries within an impenetrable area or to safeguard her comrades from incoming assaults.

Although Cocotte wasn’t as noticeable among the Pride Troopers, it was evident during the tournament that she held great strategic value. Her unique dimensional skills made even skilled combatants like Android 18 reconsider their strategies, in a figurative sense, to effectively respond to her moves.

4. Android 18

From Enemy to Earth’s Defender

Initially designed with the intent to eliminate Goku, Android 18’s transformation from villain to hero is among the most captivating character developments in Dragon Ball series. With her extraordinary power, endless energy supply, and strategic intellect, she was a formidable adversary during the Android conflict.

The Tournament of Power displayed 18’s development not just as a combatant, but as an individual. Her collaboration with her spouse Krillin and their synchronized moves played a significant role in defeating numerous potent adversaries. Surprisingly, as an android, she exhibited more human qualities than many naturally-born fighters competing in the tournament.

Despite passing numerous years since her debut, 18 continues to hold a prominent role among Earth’s mighty protectors. Unlike the Saiyans, she doesn’t rely on transformations or enhancements to stay significant.

3. Caulifla

First Female Super Saiyan

In a new twist for Saiyans, Universe 6’s Caulifla exhibited an unconventional pathway to Super Saiyan form. Unlike the typical emotional journeys and arduous struggles most Saiyans endure before transforming, Caulifla’s innate ability made her achievement surprisingly effortless.

The astonishing speed at which she grasped the various Super Saiyan forms during the Tournament of Power clearly demonstrated her exceptional talent. In an astoundingly short amount of time, she progressed from understanding the fundamental transformation to dabbling in Super Saiyan 2, surpassing our expectations for Saiyan evolution. Her rapid progress was almost unparalleled, as she not only perfected Super Saiyan 2 but managed to briefly match Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue form in combat.

2. Kale

Timid Girl Who Became A Legendary Super Saiyan

Initially, Kale appeared to be far removed from a warrior. Quiet, timid, and grappling with self-doubt, she often felt inadequate, particularly next to her more assertive friend Caulifla. However, this all shifted when she unlocked her hidden abilities, metamorphosing into the first female Legendary Super Saiyan.

In this form, she transformed into an indomitable entity, much like the character Broly from the classic Dragon Ball Z films. Not even Goku, who had battled numerous powerful adversaries, was prepared for her overwhelming power. At one instance, she single-handedly engaged several combatants during the Tournament of Power.

Gradually, she mastered her fit-of-rage, demonstrating that she was not merely a thoughtless beast. Eventually, she stood among Universe 6’s mightiest fighters, shoulder to shoulder with Caulifla as an equal in strength and skill.

1. Vados

Stronger Than The God Of Destruction

Among Dragon Ball’s female warriors, Vados stands out uniquely, not just for her immense power, but for her abilities that transcend even those of Champa’s Universe 6’s God of Destruction. She is not only his attendant but also his martial arts instructor, possessing divine powers far beyond the norm.

It came to light that she, similar to her brother Whis, used to train Champa and Beerus during their youth, implying that she was previously more powerful than them. Despite seldom engaging in combat, her serene and collected persona hints at her mastery over her strength.

Additionally, she boasts exceptional talents, for instance, crafting entire planets or reviving shattered ones by simply waving her staff. Though she frequently provides humor by mocking Champa’s idleness, it’s clear that she ranks among the most powerful entities across all universes.
