TOP 10 Most Powerful Humans

Humanity has overall been very lucky in evolving alongside Goku and Vegeta throughout the Dragon Ball franchise! Each new and powerful character introduced since the series' debut in 1984 has forced the Z-Fighters to level up to save our beautiful planet. 🌍

Even though the majority of our heroes are saiyans, human characters like Yamcha have also had the chance to progress thanks to Beerus and Moro! The list that we have prepared for you in this new article below takes note of the 10 strongest Human characters in the Dragon Ball franchise.

Due to the fact that all humans who managed to follow Goku were at one time or another enhanced through harsh training with implanted Ki or cybernetics, the definition of human was expanded to include any humanoid character born on earth. Additionally, only characters who exist in the same timeline as Goku will be counted here, and yes because time travel is a bit of cheating right? Sorry Trunks! 😅

10. OLIBU

Although Olibu is a lesser-known character in the Dragon Ball Z anime series, he is one of the most powerful human characters to ever appear on screen in the Dragon Ball franchise. Manga readers will have even more difficulty recognizing this name because Olibu is a character from Toriyama's original anime. 👱🏻‍♂️

So in Dragon Ball, Master Kaiô goes so far as to say that Olibu is his greatest student other than Son Goku, which places him near the same punching weight as a true Saiyan warrior. Master Kaiô also explains that most of Earth's legends are based on Olibu's adventures. If this blond-haired martial artist is responsible for the exploits of Achilles, Hercules, and Odysseus, he is truly a force to be reckoned with. 👊🏻

WHO IS OLIBU?

To show you who this little-known character is, here is a little excerpt from his appearance in the series: Olibu is a very tall and muscular man. He is at least 2 feet taller than Goku and has a large, very muscular body. He has long blonde hair and purple eyes. He wears white Greek-style robes with straps and a brown belt. He wears white bands on his wrist and shins, and wears large light brown boots. He also wears an orange headband. 👀

After his great acts of heroism on Earth, he was then authorized to go and train his weapons on the planet of master Kaiô. When the Other World Tournament took place, he fought Paikuhan in the quarterfinals but lost. During the Kid Boo Saga , he trains with Yamch a (although this was a mistake by Toei Animation ) and taunts Kid Boo with Paikuhan. Olibu's final appearance in the series is when he and hundreds of other fighters watch Goku's fight against Kid Boo. 💥

9. CHAOZU

Chiaotzu is a character that can make readers stop for a moment to question his humanity. Her small figure, her bright white makeup and her telekinetic abilities are indeed traits that seem more alien than human, we grant you that! 👽

However, Chaozu is a human who was born and raised on Earth. It is also extremely powerful. In the most recent Dragon Ball animated series, Chaozu manages to hold Goku in place thanks to his telekinetic strength, which makes him a human with very powerful psychic gifts! 🌌

8. YAMCHA

Perhaps the biggest meme in Dragon Ball history besides the Kamehameha , Yamcha often fails to get the credit he deserves from fans of the series. In the original Dragon Ball series, Yamcha is able to defeat Goku in a battle of strength. Sure, Goku was just a kid at the time, but as Goku evolved, Yamcha managed to level up as well. 🌟

And if you don't know yet, after Goku, Yamcha was the first character to master the Kamehameha technique. This makes him the first human character other than Master Roshi to use this iconic technique on screen. Yamcha may have fallen behind the other Z-Fighters in recent years, but when given the chance to train alongside his peers, Yamcha demonstrated incredible strength and heart .

We will obviously forget the embarrassing passage of this character which earned him crazy notoriety on the web, all this at the origin of a famous meme, that means something to you, right? If that doesn't mean anything to you, you can read our article about his file: Why is Yamcha a Victim?

7. AWESOME TURTLE

Even at his ripe age of over 300 years, Master Roshi (aka Awesome Turtle) is still able to keep up with other human characters thanks to his incredible knowledge of martial arts . 🥋

It's hard to even imagine the Dragon Ball franchise without Kamé Sennin . The talented old man will certainly make fans cringe more than any other character in the world of Dragonball, but his knowledge of martial arts and strong skills as a teacher are unmatched. 📚

6. TEN SHIN HAN

The Three-Eyed Monk has managed to become a menacing enemy and powerful ally for Goku since the original Dragon Ball series. Although the majority of his training takes place off-screen in his own dojo, Ten Shin Han still manages to keep up with Goku in inventing a powerful new technique that surprises everyone. It should no longer be surprising when Ten introduces a new technique, because it is clear that he is a man who never stops training in each of his appearances in the different series, even in Dragon Ball Super. 📺

Ten is also the first character on this list with alien blood flowing through his veins, which is important to remember. One of the many Dragon Ball guides explains that Ten is a descendant of an extraterrestrial race that settled on Earth centuries ago. This explains the monk's third eye and his ability to grow additional limbs at will, but it doesn't erase his humanity.

5. KRILIN

The bald human did better than any other pureblood human when training to keep up with Goku and Vegeta. Krillin , who is also Son Goku's best friend since his early childhood, is also proof that humanity is justified in allowing itself to evolve, through the use of cybernetics and Ki in order to face the many intergalactic threats that have arisen on Earth in recent decades. And yes, between Nappa, Frieza, Vegeta, Cell and Beerus, the earth is still under threat! 🌍

Even after training tirelessly to keep up with his Saiyan- sparing partners, he is still no match for Goku and Vegeta in a real fight. He is certainly powerful and very knowledgeable in martial arts due to his extensive training, but if humanity alone had to rest on the shoulders of this little being, Universe 7 would certainly have been destroyed during the Tournament of Power. 😵

4. UUB

Majin Boo's reincarnated human didn't get the chance to shine in Dragon Ball Super like he did in Dragon Ball GT , but that doesn't change the fact that he's a human with the power of Boo living inside him. 😲

After defeating Boo in Dragon Ball Z, Goku wished for the chance to fight a good version of the villain, and his wish was indeed granted. When fans first see Uub fight in The Peaceful World Saga at the end of Dragon Ball Z, he outclasses all other humans before he even begins his training under Goku's wise guidance. 👊🏻

3. C-18 (LAZULI)

Android 18, also less commonly known as "Ms. Krillin" is the first cybernetically enhanced human on this list. His android power destroyed the world in an alternate timeline and saved it in the canon timeline currently running through the new Dragon Ball Super series. 📺

Androids are known to possess unlimited stamina, granting them the ability to fight without the revitalizing sensu beans that most other Z-fighters require to continue their epics. Of course, the android's base strength and endurance comes largely from the cybernetics built into their body, but if Awesome Turtle can use a container with a special demon seal to enhance his combat strength, it seems fair that the androids summon cybernetic enhancements to be able to compete against more powerful opponents.

2. C-17 (LAPIS)

The last man standing in the Tournament of Power was none other than Android 17. So yes, you might moan a little, just like the part above containing the presence of Lazuli! But as we have already stated, we also take into account genetically modified humans. C-18's twin brother was once named Lapis before being cybernetically enhanced by Dr. Gero during the Androids Saga. 🤖

The further development of C-17's strength when Goku recruits him for the Tournament of Power is proof that his cybernetics aren't the only thing motivating him. The ranger has embraced his humanity since facing Goku in Dragon Ball Z and it has only increased his power. 🔌

1. GOHAN

We are coming to the end of this TOP 10. As you will certainly have guessed, our winner can be none other than Son Gohan, the son of our Son Goku ! Gohan may be blessed with his father's Saiyan blood, but the Dragon Ball franchise went to great lengths to prove that he was as human as every other character on this list. In fact, Whis even goes so far as to call Gohan a "normal human" in Dragon Ball Super, when he fails to recognize his father's transformation into a Super Saiyan God . 🔥

Gohan has long refused to embrace the Saiyan culture of asserting their genetic superiority over other opponents in combat. He even went so far as to refuse Super Saiyan power, instead working to increase his strength through other means. However, he remains one of the most powerful characters in all of Dragon Ball , hence his completely legitimate placement in first place in our TOP 10.

Gohan as a Saiyan/Human hybrid has much greater potential than normal Saiyans. He always kept up with his father when he was a kid in DBZ, but he wasn't even interested in fighting (his mother Chi-Chi talked him out of it a lot too). Goku dragged Gohan into the hyperbolic time chamber. By the time they came out of it, Gohan's Super Saiyan form was stronger than Goku's.

Unfortunately, Gohan doesn't have the heart of a warrior. He is a pacifist and lacks the combat skills of his companions, not to mention his arrogance. His gentle heart and spirit come from his human side but his strength and arrogance come from his saiyan side. Gohan would have had no problem catching up with Goku, but he just prefers to study and work like a normal human being. 🧬
