Dragon Ball: 6 Characters With The Highest Stamina

Dragon Ball Z is one of the most popular anime ever made, with the legacy established by this series turning characters like Goku and Vegeta into pop culture phenomenons that continue to hold a soft spot in the hearts of many fans to this day. The fact that Dragon Ball Super became such a hit despite a gap between the two series that lasted for two decades is a testament to the immense popularity of Toriyama’s work.

Dragon Ball: 6 Forgotten Saiyans

Not all Saiyans in Dragon Ball are as memorable as others. Here are some that, due to a variety of reasons, have mostly been forgotten.

The late great mangaka will sorely be missed, but fans are more than happy to know that the legacy of Dragon Ball will carry on and pay homage to his brilliance. Awe-inspiring fights are the bread and butter of Dragon Ball, and many characters in the series feature mind-bogglingly high levels of stamina that make it seem like their energy reserves are seemingly unfathomable.

6 Broly

The Legendary Super Saiyan Could Fight On His Own Against Gogeta

• Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Broly
• Race: Saiyan

The Legendary Super Saiyan was introduced in the Dragon Ball Z movies as one of the most powerful Saiyans in existence. While he was a force to be reckoned with, Broly’s one-dimensional character prevented him from being too memorable. The fact that his character wasn’t canon was also something that worked against him, but this changed with the advent of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, which reintroduced this character and made him relevant once again.

Despite having little to no combat experience against powerful beings, the fact that Broly could push both Goku and Vegeta against the ropes and completely school Frieza in his Golden form without getting tired was a thing of beauty. The two Saiyans had to fuse to unlock a new level of power and stop this monstrous Saiyan threat in his tracks.

5 Vegeta

The Prince Of All Saiyans Pushes His Body To Extreme Lengths Time And Time Again

• Debut: Gohan’s Rage (Episode 5 of Dragon Ball Z)
• Race: Saiyan

Vegeta is one of the most beloved characters in Dragon Ball. Initially appearing as an antagonist, the Prince of all Saiyans slowly settles into life on Earth, having a child with Bulma in the process. He’s had his ups and downs in Dragon Ball, but one thing that no one can deny is that this Saiyan trains his body, mind, and soul to new heights every single time.

The sheer amount of strain he puts on himself to get stronger at all costs is inhumane and goes to show what a monster Vegeta is in training. His pool of stamina is endless, with most battles lost after he is beaten down as opposed to his energy running out.

4 Goku

So Focused On Training That He Ignores His Own Family, At Times

• Debut: The Secret of the Dragon Balls (Episode 1 of Dragon Ball)
• Race: Saiyan

Goku’s thirst for battle is something that every Saiyan warrior shares, but the sheer hell he’s put his body through to train himself is inconceivable at times. He’s managed to reach new levels of power and take on countless threats even when his body has been pushed to the limit time and time again.

The following moves that Dragon Ball fighters deliver are so powerful that they drain huge amounts of ki.

A great example of this is during the Tournament of Power when he takes on Caulifla and Kale. He decides to use his lack of energy as a motivator to slowly get stronger, escalating his forms over and over again until he reaches a state of Imperfect Ultra Instinct and blows these fighters away with a Kamehameha for the ages. The fact that he unlocks this obscene level of power despite not having his full stamina at his disposal is a testament to Goku’s will and resolve.

3 Beerus

The God Of Destruction Of Universe 7 Is Yet To Show The True Depths Of His Power

• Debut: Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
• Race: Unnamed

The God of Destruction makes a strong impression from the moment he’s introduced, with his wanton need to destroy things making him an unpredictable and entertaining character who is perfectly in line with what Dragon Ball Super was all about. He pushed Goku to unlock the power of divine ki, engaging in a battle with the Super Saiyan God that is a joy to behold in every way.

The fact that the Destroyer God has yet to show the full extent of his power is a testament to Beerus’ insurmountable power levels. Even during the times he’s shown how serious he is, Beerus hasn’t even broken a sweat. Clearly, his stamina is on an otherworldly level that fans can’t even fathom.

2 Whis

The Angel Of Universe 7 And Beerus’ Mentor

• Debut: Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods
• Race: Angel

If Beerus is one of the most powerful entities in Dragon Ball Super, then one can only imagine how much more powerful his mentor is. Whis is a fascinating character whose calm demeanor and love for food hide an immense wealth of power that makes him the perfect mentor for both Goku and Vegeta.

Toei has recently plenty of Dragon Ball anime movies over the decades, and some films are better than others.

His angelic power to tap into the fighting style of Ultra Instinct is what fuels Goku to achieve this form during the Tournament of Power. No one has seen Whis get serious in a battle before, but it’s clear that the results will be simply extraordinary if he does decide to throw down with a worthy adversary.

1 Zeno

The Omni-King Can Eradicate Entire Universes Without Breaking A Sweat

• Debut: A Decision at Last! Is the Winner Beerus? Or Is It Champa? (Episode 40 of Dragon Ball Super)
• Race: Unnamed

The Omni-King is the most powerful being in all of Dragon Ball, bar none. He may look like a child, but Zeno is a fearsome being who wields an unbelievable power in the palm of his hand, even if it may seem like he’s a bit too irresponsible at times.

The fact that he can wipe out an entire universe in the blink of an eye is a testament to the power this character harbors. It’s not a stretch to say that Zeno’s pool of stamina is near infinite, and it doesn’t seem like an antagonist will ever appear in the series that can even remotely rival the Omni-King in terms of sheer power.
