Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball universe features a ton of super strong and capable fighters. Throughout the manga and anime’s run, fans have been introduced to a plethora of powerful characters, with each one being stronger than the other. With so much of the focus being on Goku and company, plenty of characters get sort of swept under the rug. The Tournament of Power in Super really remedied that, with a ton of side characters getting more screen time then they usually would.
One thing that was made clear throughout the arc is that Dragon Ball features a ton of powerful female characters. Some of the most popular characters in the franchise are women, and the franchise has never been afraid to throw its female characters into the ring. These are some of the strongest women in all of Dragon Ball, ranked.
10 Chi-Chi
Chi-Chi is one of Dragon Ball’s oldest recurring characters, having first appeared as a little girl in the original series. Being the daughter of the Ox-King, Chi-Chi is stronger than most humans and has been shown to be a capable fighter despite not training as regularly as other human martial artists.
Though not focused on martial arts, Chi-Chi knows her stuff and has even trained Goten in the past. Due to her short temper, Chi-Chi has been shown to go berserk every so often and while it’s mostly done for comic effect, she’s shown that she can handle herself in a fight nicely.
9 Fasha
One of the few Saiyan females introduced within the canon, Fasha was a member of Bardock’s crew who perished with the majority of Planet Vegeta. Though not much is known about her, she is shown to be a capable warrior.
Fasha gets along well with her comrades but like most Saiyans, is ruthless and cold when it comes to battle. She is depicted as being more capable than the average Saiyan warrior, and should she have lived on could have been a very powerful warrior.
8 Ribrianne
One of the strongest fighters in Universe 2, Ribrianne is a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. Being the leader of the Kamikaze Fireballs, Ribrianne is a capable fighter as well as someone who can rally those around her.
She is shown to be able to go up against Super Saiyan Vegeta and Android 17 without much difficulty. Though not capable of keeping up with some of the more powerful fighters in the Tournament of Power, she showed great strength and determination while in the ring.
7 Cocotte
The best that Universe 11 has to offer, the Pride Troopers consist of some of the most powerful fighters in the Tournament of Power. Being a member of the team, Cocotte certainly makes a case for being one of the stronger women in the series.
Cocotte has the unique ability to manipulate the space around her. While it would prove to be detrimental in the Tournament of Power, it’s something that separates her from a lot of the fighters around her.
6 Android 18
One of the most popular female characters in Dragon Ball, Android 18 is part of the series’ long tradition of villains turned good. While she was exponentially more powerful when first introduced, 18 remains one of the most reliable fighters on earth.
Though she often opts to stay behind and protect her daughter, 18 sometimes get directly involved in battles. She’s capable of holding her own and much like her brother is quick thinking. These traits have helped her tremendously over the years. While she may not be able to keep up with the plethora of new transformations being introduced, she’s still powerful in her own right.
5 Western Supreme Kai
The Western Supreme Kai is a character that is often forgotten by fans due to her incredibly brief appearance in the series. Having fallen in the initial battle against Buu, she was – at the time of her introduction – the most powerful female warrior in the series.
Shown as being playful and easygoing, Western Supreme Kai was the first to challenge Buu. While she did put up a good fight, she was ultimately taken out by the little demon. It’s worth noting that she’s said to have been strong enough to take out Frieza at a time when he was thought to be the most powerful being in the universe.
4 Caulifla
One of the new Saiyan’s introduced in Super, Caulifla is one of the strongest fighters in all of Universe 6. She’s an ambitious young Saiyan who, like many other Saiyans, has the desire to get stronger and seek out new challenges.
Caulifa easily achieved her Super Saiyan form with just a little instruction from Cabba and showed great potential throughout the Tournament of Power. She’s already one of the strongest women in the series, and with some more training can be one of the strongest characters in Dragon Ball.
3 Heles
With her title of God of Destruction, Heles is a tough character to judge, given what’s been shown thus far. Though not much is known about her, she works alongside Sour to keep Universe 2 in check.
As is the case with the other Gods of Destruction, Heles is the most powerful being in her universe, save for her attendant. Though fans don’t have all that much to base it off, she’s clearly one of the strongest women in the series, currently.
2 Kale
Though shown to be timid and meek, Kale is a completely different person once her switch flips, and she goes into battle mode. As Universe 6’s own version of the Legendary Super Saiyan, Kale served as a key player throughout the tournament.
Though powerful, Kale has difficulty controlling her strength. She can end up going berserk and completely lose herself to her anger. Though this does demonstrate her monstrous power, it also puts those around her at risk.
1 Vados
Though a case can be made for any of the female Angels at this spot, Vados gets the nod here. The attendant of Universe 6’s God of Destruction, Vados is one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse.
Vados’ power is said to be on par with Whis’ and while fans haven’t outright seen her in action, it’s been established that much like the other Angels in the series there’s more to her than meets the eye.
