Dragon Ball: The Smartest Fighters in the Series, Ranked

In a series full of brutes fighting it out, there are few fighters who fight with their minds as much as their bodies.

Goku really shouldn't have given Moro the Senju Bean

Arch: Morrow Arch

Over the years, Goku has made some really questionable decisions, especially when it comes to his frustrating tendency to heal his enemies. Although he gave Frieza some energy and even gave Cell the Senju Bean, his biggest lapse in judgment was doing the same for Moro and expecting him to return to prison peacefully even though he had restored most of his powers. This action eventually leads to Moro nearly destroying the planet, which makes Goku a very poor judge of character here.

Vegeta's Pride got the best of him against Cell

Ark: Android Saga

Vegeta's pride has always been his defining characteristic, and although he likes to brag about it, the truth is that it has often been to his great detriment. The best example of this was his fight against Cell, where his Super Vegeta form was initially stronger than the villain. However, facing him in a more powerful state in Cell's pull, Vegeta went to fight against his own son so that the villain could become stronger. The result was as everyone expected, Perfect Cell embarrassing Vegeta in their battle.

Gohan was humiliated against Frieza

Arch: Resurrection f

It's no secret that Gohan has never liked being a fighter, as he's always preferred a relatively normal life away from all the action. However, this revival proved to be a terrible decision in the F arc, where he went up against Frieza despite not having trained properly for quite some time. The result was a humiliating beating at the hands of the galactic dictator's weakest form, resulting in one of the most humiliating frames in the franchise that would haunt Gohan to the end.

Goten and Trunks fail their fusion against Cell Max

Arc: The Superhero Arc

It's no secret that while Goten and Trunks are powerful on their own, their greatest feats in fusion are Gotenks, who is an exceptionally powerful warrior with the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan 3. However, they failed to bring about this fusion, when the fight against Cell Max required a successful fusion. Of course, if Gotenks had been summoned properly, he would have made a huge difference.

Future Trunks tried to stop the cell, but failed

Arc: Cell Saga

Future Trunks remains one of the best characters in the franchise, with two beloved arcs centered around him. Although his powers are quite powerful, and he doesn't really have many embarrassing moments, his worst performance was definitely against Cell.

When he came back from the future to stop the androids, he finally had to face someone much stronger and more dangerous, despite failing to stop him. Eventually, he met his end at the hands of Cell in the Cell Games.

Kabba despised the Super Saiyan form

Ark: Vs Universe 6 Ark

Cabba was indeed a welcome addition to the ranks Dragon Ball Because of his role as the protege of Saiyans, especially Vegeta. Although he showed his inherent talent by unlocking the Super Saiyan state, his way of doing so trivialized the series' most significant change, as those before him had to go through trauma or intense emotional moments to make the change, while Kabba only had to feel a tingling at the base of his neck to unlock it.

Vegito defused at the worst possible time

Arc: Goku Black Arc

Vegito has cemented himself as one of the two most powerful Saiyans in existence alongside Gogeta, though the only reason he can't reach his Metamoran counterpart is the limitations of the Potara Earrings. The failure of these earrings was seen in the Goku Black arc, where he diffused himself after a very short time due to the unlimited power he possessed, right before he could land a decisive blow on the enemy.

Kale kept losing her mind whenever she powered up

Arc: Tournament of Power Arc

Introducing the Saiyans from Universe 6 was one of the best decisions Dragon Ball SuperAlthough they weren't all straight hits when they debuted. Kale, for example, took some time to get used to her abilities, as her innate power was so great that she would lose her mind whenever she gained power, just like Broly. Eventually, she learned to control it, but when she couldn't, she was as dangerous to her allies as to her enemies.

Caulifla was an impulsive and impatient Saiyan

Ark: Tournament of Power

Of all the Universe 6 Saiyans, Cauliflower was similar to her Universe 7 counterparts, in that she was exceptionally powerful, quick to anger, and loved to fight. However, with this came much impatience, as his desire to unlock more Super Saiyan states clouded his judgment in the Tournament of Power. Although it didn't actually cause anything bad, it was worth noting.

Kefla thought she could take Ultra Instinct

Ark: Tournament of Power

Kefla was definitely one of the highlights of the Tournament of Power, where she showed why Universe 6 Saiyans are such powerful warriors. However, due to Cauliflower being the main figure of this fusion, her own power was incredibly overestimated when she tried to take on Ultra Instinct Omen Goku. In this fight, he could not hit his opponent and was eventually eliminated from the tournament by him.
