One of the best parts about Dragon Ball Super have been the main characters who all received their own unique transformations. After Goku unlocked Ultra Instinct in the Tournament of Power, even Gohan and Piccolo have managed to get their own personal forms to keep them up to date with the franchise's ever-increasing power scaling. As of Granolah Saga, Vegeta has unlocked his own transformation to keep him on par with Ultra Instinct Goku: Ultra Ego.
5 Dragon Ball Super Characters Stronger Than Ultra Instinct Goku
As of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Ultra Instinct Goku is weaker than his rival, his son, and even the series' next main villain.
In terms of raw power level, Ultra Ego Vegeta is actually stronger than Ultra Instinct Goku (for now). Base form Vegeta even beat base Goku at the end of Dragon Ball Super: Super Herotemporarily making him the strongest Saiyan after Gohan. Unfortunately, Ultra has Ego very of disadvantages and Dragon Ball Supers cast is stronger than ever.
Orange Piccolo has a real chance to beat Ultra Ego Vegeta
Dragon Ball is based on a very simple logic: the latest startup is always the strongest. Akira Toriyama confirmed that one of his main goals behind the writing Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero was to make Piccolo strong enough to rival Goku and Vegeta again, hence the introduction of Orange Piccolo in the film's climax. Piccolo even comments that he's unsure if Goku and Vegeta could beat Cell Max by themselves (although it's worth noting that Piccolo has never seen Ultra Ego Vegeta in action).
While all signs would point to Ultra Ego Vegeta being stronger than Orange Piccolo in terms of power levels, Piccolo may actually be stronger. This wouldn't be the first time Piccolo surpassed Vegeta either, as he is stronger at the end of the Frieza Saga and during the middle of the Cell Saga. Piccolo is also a smarter fighter than Vegeta is, so he could theoretically push Vegeta to exhaustion without losing to Ultra Ego.
Ultra Ego Vegeta wasn't strong enough to end the gas himself
Thanks to Elec's desire for the Dragon Balls, his brother Gas temporarily became the strongest character in the Dragon Ball universe. Goku and Granolah defeat him only by fighting as strategically as possible, but even then Gas rises up stronger than ever and is only put down for good when Black Frieza shows up and effortlessly kills him. Vegeta doesn't fare much better when fighting Gas himself.
Dragon Ball: 6 Anime Moments That Were Better In Manga
Akira Toriyama understood his characters better than anyone, and the panels and storytelling of the Dragon Ball manga are frankly on another level.
Although Ultra Ego grows stronger the more Vegeta fights and takes damage, Elec's desire forces Gas to continuously age and grow stronger every time someone surpasses him. Vegeta puts up a good fight at first, for what it's worth, but he pushes himself so hard and so far that he runs out of Ki before the battle ends and loses Ultra Ego just as he's about to deliver a massive blow to Gas. Ultra Ego is simply not practical enough to take on an enemy like Gas.
Granolah just barely manages to beat Ultra Ego Vegeta
Granolah Saga is just L after L for Vegeta. Despite unlocking a new transformation in the arc, Ultra Ego Vegeta doesn't win a single battle. UE Vegeta doesn't do much better against Granolah than it does against Gas. Like Gas, Granolah wished for the Dragon Balls to become the strongest being in the universe. By trading away most of his life, Granolah transforms into one of the most overwhelmingly powerful characters in Dragon Ball history.
During their fight, Granolah is depicted as a clear foil to Ultra Ego Vegeta. Where Vegeta fights with raw brutality, Granolah remains precise and strategic, slowly wearing down Vegeta. Worse, Ultra Ego Vegeta forces Granolah to awaken and develop his left eye to full power, making him even more deadly. In the end, Granolah is able to subdue Granolah before the battle escalates to the final showdown with Gas.
Ultra Ego Vegeta's Got Nothing on Gohan Beast
Gohan Beast is currently the strongest unassembled hero in Dragon Ball Super. After Piccolo's fake death in Dragon Ball Super: Super HeroGohan unleashes all his latent potential in his brand new Beast form. From there, Gohan kills Beast Cell Max and then goes to Beerus' Planet to spar with Goku. Notably, Gohan Beast is so strong that he actually knocks Goku out of Ultra Instinct during their fight, confirming him as the series' strongest Saiyan.
All 5 Dragon Ball Super Main Characters' Strongest Transformations, Ranked
Dragon Ball Super's main characters are stronger than ever, and each one has a powerful transformation that will probably be the key to stopping Black Frieza.
While Ultra Ego is stronger than Ultra Instinct, there's just no way Vegeta could beat Gohan Beast as he is now. Gohan Beast is just as ferocious as Ultra Ego, but without any of the drawbacks associated with the form. Saiyan Battle Royale at the end of Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103 also quietly confirms Gohan as the stronger character. Other than Broly, Gohan is the only character sitting up and shown to have taken the least amount of damage, while Vegeta is clearly out for the count.
Black Frieza defeated Ultra Ego Vegeta with a single hit
Although Gohan Beast may be the strongest hero in Dragon Ball SuperBlack Frieza is the strongest mortal. After finding an abandoned hyperbolic time chamber while exploring the multiverse, Frieza went into hiding for years, training until he unlocked his black form. Since Frieza was outside of Universe 7 at the time, this also means that Granolah and Gas' wishes to become the most powerful beings in the universe did not take Frieza into consideration.
When Black Frieza suddenly appears at the end of the Granolah Saga, he kills Gas like he's nothing and then knocks out both Ultra Ego Vegeta and Ultra Instinct Goku in a single blow. Frieza only lets them live because they are so much weaker than him. The Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Manga adaptation confirms that Goku and Vegeta are still training to defeat Black Frieza, but they will have to grow much stronger before they can even have a chance.
Vegeta still has a long way to go before he's on Beerus' level
In many ways, Ultra Ego is Vegeta's homage to Beerus. The Granolah Saga begins with Beerus giving Vegeta an earring for the God of Destruction and ends with Vegeta unlocking a form that takes a lot from his training with Beerus. Ultra Ego stands in stark contrast to Ultra Instinct. Where Ultra Instinct is a technique developed by angels for angels, Ultra Ego is a technique developed by the Gods of Destruction for the specific goal of destruction.
Unfortunately, even Ultra Ego isn't enough to put Vegeta on Beerus' level. Beerus is still the strongest god of destruction in Dragon Ball Superand every time Vegeta or Goku makes significant progress, it's revealed that Beerus is still one step ahead. It's unlikely that Vegeta will ever be able to surpass Beerus at this rate, but Ultra Ego at least levels the playing field.
Vegito is tied with Gogeta as the strongest Suepr Saiyan and character in Dragon Ball
It stands to reason that a character who is half Vegeta will be stronger than Vegeta. Both Vegito and Gogeta are fusions of Goku and Vegeta, combining all their powers and abilities into an incredibly powerful fused fighter. Vegito is the result of Goku and Vegeta fusing with the Potara Earrings and was previously the strongest character in Dragon Ball Z. Vegito was last seen in the Goku Black Saga, where he came very close to defeating Fused Zamasu before the fusion ended due to Vegito's raw power.
Vegito is an interesting case. He is so powerful that the Potara Earrings can only keep Goku and Vegeta fused for a few minutes, especially when Vegito turns Super Saiyan Blue. That said, Vegito is so powerful that he could probably take on Ultra Ego Vegeta as just a regular Super Saiyan. The same goes for Gogeta, the fusion dance version of Goku and Vegeta fusing together.
