Akira Toriyama reveals the strongest character. By bringing the fight, it’s not surprising that there are many strong characters throughout the Dragon Ball universe. Starting from Goku, Vegeta, to Piccolo, every character that appears in the story has enormous potential in terms of strength. In fact, Goku and Vegeta gain power-ups every time they face a new, more powerful foe.
Even so, of course in every increase in strength there will be a maximum limit that they can achieve. And talking about the strengths and abilities of the characters, it’s interesting to see each protagonist that appears throughout the series. Many fans then think that Goku and Vegeta are the two strongest characters in the entire franchise.
However, what is surprising is that the creator of the series, Akira Toriyama, has other opinions and answers regarding this matter. According to Toriyama Sensei, these two are not the strongest fighters in the entire series. There was another figure that he considered far more powerful, whose greatest potential had not been unlocked until now. Who is that figure?
The Strongest Character in the Dragon Ball Franchise
Then, which character has the greatest potential, who is the strongest character in the series? According to Akira Toriyama, the character who has great potential in him and has the most powerful power is none other than Goku’s son, Son Gohan. This is Toriyama revealed in an interview to welcome the latest film in the Dragon Ball series.
According to him, Gohan has the greatest potential of all characters. To be able to awaken the stored potential, Gohan needs help from other people, who is none other than his teacher, Piccolo. Just like his father, Gohan manages to reach a new level of power when another, more powerful threat emerges. This he showed in his fight against Cell, after the antagonist managed to perfect his form.
Moreover, in the Tournament of Power, Gohan managed to return to his perfect form after training for a short time. Although Toriyama gave a slightly vague response about Gohan’s strength, some fans did agree with what Toriyama said. Here are excerpts from Toriyama’s interview regarding Gohan:
Q: Why Did You Decide to focus on Gohan, Piccolo, and the Red Ribbin Army in This Movie?
A: Gohan, actually is a very powerful figure out of anyone, or so to say. However, lately he has not had the chance to shine. To motivate Gohan, it takes a teacher like Piccolo compared to his father Goku. I think I want to try to give birth to a new strongest character/superhero by bringing both of them in the spotlight through intense battles against the Gamma androids.”
