Every New Transformation in Dragon Ball Super 2, Ranked by Strength

Dragon Ball has never been shy about giving its heroes and villains bigger and crazier power-ups. But the next part of Dragon Ball Super could take things to another level, with several powerful forms finally waiting to make their TV anime debut.

Some of these transformations have already appeared in the Dragon Ball Super movies, while others remain manga-only for now. With that said, these are the new forms that could define the next era of the anime.

9 Ultra Instinct Moro Is Powerful But Too Unstable

Moro was already a nightmare before he got anywhere near Ultra Instinct. The ancient wizard spent the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc stealing energy from planets and becoming stronger with every fight. Things became even crazier when he absorbed Merus’ powers during the final battle.

For a short time, Moro could use Ultra Instinct and push Goku to the edge. That sounds like enough to put him near the top of this list, but there is a big problem. Moro’s body simply could not handle the power. His form became unstable, and that weakness eventually helped Goku turn the fight around. That is why Moro starts our ranking at No. 9.

8 Orange Piccolo Finally Gets a Major Power Boost

Piccolo had been waiting for a big upgrade for a very long time, and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero finally gave him one. After asking Shenron to unlock his potential, Piccolo receives an extra boost that allows him to reach his powerful Orange form.

Orange Piccolo is a huge step forward for the Namekian. He becomes strong enough to handle Gamma 2 and later plays a major role against Cell Max. Still, Broly’s explosive growth gives him a higher ceiling, so Orange Piccolo takes eighth place.

7 Broly’s Full Power Form Shows His Insane Potential

Broly’s Full Power Super Saiyan form has already been animated in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, but it will still feel like a new form when the TV story catches up with the movie’s place in the timeline. What makes this version of Broly so scary is how quickly he grows during a fight. Against Goku and Vegeta, Broly keeps getting stronger as the battle continues. He goes from struggling against them to forcing them to fuse into Gogeta just to stop him.

That raw potential puts Broly above Orange Piccolo. The problem is that Broly still lacks the control that the strongest fighters have. His power is enormous, but he needs more experience before he can consistently stand above the forms ranked higher here.

6 Granolah’s New Form Pushes His Power Even Higher

Granolah does not get his power in the usual Dragon Ball way. Instead, he uses the Cerealian Dragon Balls to make a wish that turns him into the strongest warrior in the universe. The catch is brutal – the wish burns away almost all of his remaining lifespan.

That trade gives Granolah an incredible boost. During the Granolah the Survivor Arc, he pushes both Goku and Vegeta into extremely difficult battles. He comes above Broly because Granolah combines power with control and precision. Broly may have greater potential, but Granolah knows exactly how to use the strength he has.

5 Ultra Ego Makes Vegeta Stronger With Every Hit

Vegeta finally gets a transformation that feels completely different from Goku’s path. After training with Beerus, Vegeta learns to use the power of Destruction and eventually awakens Ultra Ego during the Granolah the Survivor Arc.

The form suits Vegeta almost perfectly. Instead of trying to stay untouched like Goku with Ultra Instinct, Vegeta embraces the fight and becomes stronger as he takes damage. During his battle with Granolah, Vegeta keeps pushing himself even after taking devastating attacks. That sounds almost unbeatable, but Ultra Ego has a dangerous weakness. Vegeta can take only so much punishment before his body gives out. That keeps him below True Ultra Instinct, which gives Goku a more controlled way to fight at the highest level.

4 True Ultra Instinct Lets Goku Fight His Own Way

Goku’s relationship with Ultra Instinct changes during the Granolah the Survivor Arc. He realizes that trying to keep his heart completely calm does not always suit him. Instead of forcing himself to fight like an angel, Goku finds a way to use Ultra Instinct while keeping his emotions.

This leads to True Ultra Instinct, which becomes one of the biggest steps in Goku’s development. That also gives him the edge over Ultra Ego here. Vegeta’s form can become stronger through damage, but Goku’s version gives him more freedom without making getting hurt part of the plan.

3 Beast Gohan Brings Him Back to the Top

Gohan had spent years moving in and out of the spotlight, but Beast Gohan changed everything. The transformation first appeared in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, when Gohan’s anger explodes after he believes Piccolo has been killed.

The result is one of the biggest power jumps we have seen from Gohan. His Beast form allows him to take on Cell Max and eventually finish the fight with his massive Special Beam Cannon. The manga later brings the movie’s events into the main story, and Chapter 102 gives fans an even better idea of Beast Gohan’s level when he clashes with Goku’s Ultra Instinct. That is why it takes third place.

2 Awakened Gas Becomes One of the Strongest Fighters

Gas might not have the same fan following as Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan, but his power-up in the Granolah arc is impossible to ignore. After Elec uses the Dragon Balls to make Gas the strongest warrior in the universe, Gas becomes a completely different monster.

His power keeps growing throughout the fight, and he gains a huge collection of weapons and abilities that make him incredibly difficult to handle. Even Goku and Vegeta struggle to stop him. The worst part for Gas is that the power comes with a terrible price – his body rapidly ages as he burns through his remaining life. Gas takes second place because his peak is simply too much for most of the other forms here.

1 Black Frieza Easily Takes the Top Spot

Black Frieza is the kind of transformation that makes every other power-up suddenly look less impressive. After the events of the Granolah arc, Frieza reveals that he spent ten years training in a time chamber on another planet. When he finally returns, he has reached a completely new level.

Chapter 87 gives us the payoff. Frieza arrives, deals with Gas, and then transforms into Black Frieza. Goku and Vegeta, despite having True Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego, are completely outmatched. Frieza knocks both of them down with almost no effort. That single moment is enough to put Black Frieza at No. 1.
