1. What does “strongest character” mean in Dragon Ball?

When it comes to the strongest character in Dragon Ball, it’s not just about who can throw the hardest punch. The title of “strongest” encompasses a combination of factors, including physical power, Ki energy, transformations, divine techniques, and the ability to strategize in battle. Some characters rely on their overwhelming physical strength, while others, like Zeno and the Angels, have abilities that transcend combat, giving them control over time, space, and entire universes.

Physical power is a critical aspect of strength in Dragon Ball, with characters like Goku and Vegeta constantly training and evolving. However, the ability to control Ki energy plays a significant role. Characters like Beerus and Whis take this even further, using divine techniques to manipulate the very fabric of the universe. The strongest Dragon Ball characters often go beyond physical power, using intelligence, strategy, and their mastery of Ki and divine abilities to defeat even the most formidable opponents.
