This piece delves into the powerful female characters within the Dragon Ball franchise, highlighting their unique strengths and abilities across various series. It features notable fighters like Caulifla, Kale, Jerez, Marcarita, and Vados, showcasing their distinct personalities and combat skills. The analysis emphasizes their significance in a predominantly male-dominated universe, illustrating how these women contribute to the narrative and engage in epic battles, ultimately reshaping perceptions of strength within the series.
Exploring the Female Powerhouses of Dragon Ball
In the realm of Dragon Ball, the majority of warriors battling extraterrestrial threats alongside Son-Goku are men. However, there exists a select group of remarkable women who showcase exceptional strength throughout the series. We have meticulously analyzed all female characters from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Daima, and Dragon Ball Super, excluding various fusions, and compiled a ranking of these fierce fighters.
The Top Female Fighters in Dragon Ball
Caulifla
Making her debut in episode 88 of Dragon Ball Super, Caulifla is a dynamic female Saiyan hailing from Universe 6. She holds the distinction of being the first woman to achieve Super Saiyan status in the anime. Leading her own group of rebellious Saiyans, Caulifla’s punk aesthetic is matched by her bold personality, often taunting her adversaries in battle. Her assertiveness and confidence shine during the Tournament of Power, where she impressively becomes the first Saiyan from Universe 6 to attain the double Super Saiyan form in record time. Son-Goku acknowledges her formidable strength, as she can match him while he is in Super Saiyan 2 form, although she ultimately falls to him when he assumes the Super Saiyan God transformation.
Kale
Kale contrasts sharply with her fiery friend Caulifla; she is a gentle and reserved individual. First introduced in episode 89 of Dragon Ball Super, Kale is part of Caulifla’s gang but prefers to shy away from conflict. She embodies the legendary Super Saiyan archetype reminiscent of Broly. During the Tournament of Power, her lack of self-confidence hampers her ability to become a typical Super Saiyan, yet she manages to unleash the Legendary Super Saiyan form. In this state, her power is astonishing, allowing her to effortlessly counter Son-Goku’s Kamehameha while he is a Super Saiyan God. It is only when Goku taps into Ultra Instinct that Kale is ultimately defeated.
Jerez
Jerez, the only female god of destruction, parallels Beerus in Universe 2. She makes her appearance in episode 78 of Dragon Ball Super, exhibiting a strong sense of justice. Jerez stands against Zeno’s destructive whims during the Tournament of Power, showing compassion for her warriors and disapproval of Freezer’s ruthless tactics. With the capacity to obliterate planets, Jerez is a force to be reckoned with. In the manga, she wields a mystical bow and arrows, showcasing her combat prowess by successfully striking another god of destruction.
Marcarita
Also debuting in episode 78 of Dragon Ball Super, Marcarita serves as the angel of Universe 11. Angels, being mentors to the gods of destruction, are naturally endowed with superior power. Marcarita oversees Belmod in her universe and ranks as one of the most powerful female angels in the series. As one of the daughters of the Grand Minister, along with Martinu, Vados, and Kusu, her true strength remains largely unexplored in the anime and manga. Nevertheless, her status as an angel secures her a prominent spot in our rankings, with only Vados surpassing her.
Vados
Vados, introduced in episode 18 of Dragon Ball Super, is the angel of Universe 6 and serves the god of destruction, Champa. Despite not directly exhibiting her martial skills, she confidently asserts that she is more powerful than Whis, the angel of Universe 7. Observing her student, Champa, who triumphs in a fair battle against Sidra, we can infer that Vados possesses a significant advantage. Given that a student often reflects the prowess of their teacher, it is reasonable to conclude that Vados is indeed stronger than her sisters.
