Readers in search of OP heroes need to look no further than the massively popular Dragon Ball manga series. Characters like Goku and Vegeta are already immensely powerful, yet they train constantly to improve their abilities and seek out formidable foes to test their mettle against.
Due to all the one-upmanship, picking the strongest character is difficult, but Goku and Vegeta, two of the most powerful Saiyans, have lots of strength feats that may be examined to assess their strength.
Despite being a Saiyan sent to Earth to destroy it, Goku has become one of Earth’s best defenders because of a lucky head injury that changed his memories. Goku, a fierce competitor, has spent his life training to become the greatest warrior conceivable, and his efforts have paid off: he now possesses abilities that have led some to compare him to DC Comics’ Superman.

Even though this has been hotly contested by fans, there’s no denying Goku’s strength. Even as a youngster, he has the power to wipe out an army. His power only grew with age and training, and he was soon able to shatter everything created by humans. He is unfazed by the greater gravity and can heft more than a hundred tonnes.
The strength that Goku is capable of developing far surpasses even these achievements. Goku has lost to stronger opponents than him, but he has always used those losses as motivation to train harder, tap into more potent sources of divine energy, and eventually perfect even more formidable “Super Saiyan” forms. His unwavering dedication to training has allowed him to achieve a new level of strength, the Ultra Instinct form, which places him on par with the destructive deities.
Even while Goku trains extremely hard, he is not the only Saiyan who strives to constantly improve his abilities. The prince of the Saiyan species and one of the most ruthless warriors and killers in Dragon Ball, Vegeta is one of his most formidable opponents. Thankfully, he also went through an inner transformation that changed him from a villain into an anti-hero and eventually into a hero.
Vegeta, however, has not lost his hunger for strength and continues to work hard at the gym in order to one day outdo Goku. His rigorous training program, like Goku’s, has allowed him to achieve the Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form, his most powerful incarnation as a Super Saiyan. As Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken form tires him out, Vegeta’s Blue Evolved form makes him even more formidable than Goku in this state.
However, the primary protagonist of Dragon Ball, Goku, has an advantage thanks to the fact that his Ultra Instinct form is stronger than Vegeta’s Super Saiyan Blue Evolved form. However, Vegeta would eventually surpass him and wipe out his advantage.
The protagonists in this manga frequently break through their own barriers and surpass not just their opponents but also themselves, which is a big part of the series’ appeal. It’s inevitable that Vegeta will outgrow Goku in terms of strength, given their rivalry and a mutual desire to prove themselves superior. This will only serve to spur Goku on to greater feats of physical prowess.
