Overview
- Power levels in Dragon Ball have escalated dramatically, with many characters now possessing the ability to obliterate planets.
- Certain characters, including Babidi, Monaka, and Piccolo, significantly lag behind their more powerful counterparts.
- Notably, characters like Dabura, Kibito Kai, Raditz, and Nappa, while having the potential for greatness, have unfortunately become weaklings who can be easily dispatched.
The power scale in Dragon Ball has reached unprecedented heights, leaving the series’ early days behind, as heroes and villains alike demonstrate the ability to annihilate entire planets with ease. This vast increase in power often renders specific characters incapable of contributing meaningfully in major battles, despite their roles as antagonists or recurring foes.
It can be disheartening for fans to witness their favorite characters who, despite being pivotal to various story arcs, struggle to hold their own against the Z Warriors. The reality is that these characters often meet their undoing far too quickly, leading to a bittersweet experience for those who admire them.
8. Two
For An All-Powerful Wizard, He Can Barely Hold His Own In A Fight
- Debut: The Wizard’s Curse (Episode 220 of Dragon Ball Z)
Babidi, the dark wizard intent on resurrecting Majin Buu, initially appears to be a formidable character capable of exerting control over even the strongest fighters like Vegeta. However, his partnership with Buu quickly disintegrates due to his inability to keep his ally in check, leading to a humiliation that showcases his true nature as a plot device rather than a legitimate threat.
7. Monaco
Beerus Lied To Goku About This Character’s Power To Keep Him Motivated
- Debut: The Matches Begin! We’re All Off to the “Planet with No Name!”(Episode 32 of Dragon Ball Super)
Upon his introduction by Beerus, Monaka was anticipated to present a serious challenge for Goku, pushing him to new heights. However, the resolve was quickly deflated when it was revealed that Monaka was simply a weak mortal, merely a tool for Beerus to encourage Goku’s growth. This comedic twist, though amusing, casts a shadow on Beerus’ credibility and Monaka’s potential.
6. Small
Even After Gaining A New Transformation, Piccolo’s Power Is Still Well Behind The Saiyans
- Debut: Lost and Found (Episode 123 of Dragon Ball)
Piccolo has long been a fan favorite, evolving from an antagonist to a key ally. Despite his growth and the acquisition of the Orange Piccolo transformation, he remains overshadowed by the Saiyans, particularly during critical battles like those against Cell Max, where his contributions seem limited. Although cherished for his character depth, many fans lament his lack of significant victories in combat.
5. Gotenks
Aside From An Impressive Showing Against Buu, This Fusion Has Done Little Else
- Debut: Gotenks Is Born (Episode 251 of Dragon Ball Z)
The fusion of Goten and Trunks promised an exponentially powerful warrior in Gotenks. Yet, despite initial successes against Buu, Gotenks has since faded into obscurity, often appearing briefly in battle before being overwhelmingly defeated. Fans are left hoping for a resurgence that showcases Gotenks’ full potential in future arcs.
4. Dabura
The Demon King Is Hilariously Weak And Barely Poses A Challenge
- Debut: The Wizard’s Curse (Episode 220 of Dragon Ball Z)
Initially introduced as a powerful adversary alongside Babidi, Dabura’s capabilities quickly diminish. His embarrassing defeat by Majin Buu reveals the disparity between him and the more potent fighters, reducing the Demon King to a figure of ridicule instead of fear.
3. Kibito Kai
The Fusion Of Two Divine Beings Doesn’t Do Anything In Major Battles
- Debut: Ready to Fuse? (Episode 267 of Dragon Ball Z)
Kibito Kai merges the Supreme Kai and Kibito, aiming to demonstrate the strength of Potara Fusion. However, while the expectation was that this fusion would significantly impact battles, Kibito Kai’s role is largely passive, leaving fans disappointed as he merely watches the events unfold without taking an active stance in significant confrontations.
2. Raditz
Goku’s Brother Is Nowhere Near As Strong As His Gifted Sibling
- Debut: The New Threat (Episode 1 of Dragon Ball Z)
While Raditz made a formidable entrance, showcasing his ability to push Goku and Piccolo to their limits, he ultimately pales in comparison to his brother’s growth. After being defeated, Raditz vanishes from the narrative, leaving fans to wonder just how the once-promising Saiyan became one of the weakest in the series.
1. Nappa
Given The Heights That Saiyans Can Reach, Vegeta’s Partner Was Lacking
- Debut: Gohan’s Rage (Episode 5 of Dragon Ball Z)
Nappa makes an imposing entrance, utilizing his strength to dispatch numerous Z Warriors. However, the moment Goku arrives, the vast difference in power becomes evident. His humiliating defeat at Goku’s hands showcases the staggering skill gap, undermining his initial reputation and leaving fans questioning his place among the Saiyans.
