The Z-Fighters are some of the most powerful warriors in the world. dragon ball multiverse, and they only grew stronger as time went on. Due to this continuous increase in power, they gradually went from being collectively weaker than Nappa to being the chosen ones to defend their universe in a battle royale against the strongest fighters across all the plains of existence.

Much of the reason why these characters are so powerful is because of the extensive years they have spent training and perfecting their move sets, to the point where each of them has an insanely powerful ultimate attack that is unmatched in its destructive capabilities. So, let's take a look at each Z-Fighter's strongest moves in dragon ball and see why they are so dangerous.

Chiaotzu's self-destruction

Chiaotzu is a member of the Z-Fighters who is often forgotten nowadays due to his lack of importance in the current plot. Even so, he played a significant role in the Saiyan Saga, especially in the battle against Nappa, where he tried to save Tien.

How it works

While this move may seem powerful at first glance due to Chiaotzu having gathered enough energy to sacrifice himself to use it, it was so weak that Nappa took virtually no damage from it. Blowing himself up, however, added depth to Chiaotzu's character by having him sacrifice himself for his best friend.

Yamcha's Spirit Ball

Yamcha has been the laughing stock of the entire world dragon ball franchise. However, when he made his debut in the first third of the franchise, he was a formidable martial artist, with a number of techniques up his sleeve that allowed him to fight against Goku and others.

How it works

Although its name might suggest it, the Spirit Ball doesn't work the same way as Goku's Spirit Bomb. By turning his left hand palm up, Yamcha gathers his energy and fires it into a ball of Ki that he can control quite skillfully. Once fired, he can control its trajectory with his fingers, allowing him to hit opponents multiple times.

Master Roshi's Max Power Kamehameha

Master Roshi is the oldest of all the Z-Fighters, though that does not mean he is the weakest. His lifetime of martial arts practice and knowledge of his Ki has made him a master of the Turtle Hermit School and one of the strongest mortals in Universe 7, which is reflected in his creation and mastery of the Kamehameha.

Move well, study well, play well, eat well and rest well. That's the Master Turtle way!

How it works

The Kamehameha is the most iconic move not only dragon ball but all anime. It was created by Master Roshi and he has a version of this attack that only he can use. Although it is slow, the Max Power Kamehameha is incredibly powerful as it requires him to be in his fully powered form and requires a longer charge time.

Tien's Neo Tri-Beam

Tien is a man who has dedicated his entire life to martial arts and is one of the few characters in the series who has never stopped training since the day he was introduced. Tien has had some powerful moves throughout the story, but none are more deadly than his Neo Tri-Beam.

His attack was like a spring breeze, it had absolutely no effect.

How it works

The Tri-Beam begins with Tien bringing the fingertips of each of his hands together and creating an empty space between his palms. Energy is then condensed here, which Tien then fires in gigantic square-shaped Ki blasts that are strong enough to incapacitate Cell absorbed by Android 17. However, this attack drains a lot of energy from Tien, nearly killing him if he uses it repeatedly.

Krillin's Destroyed Disc

As Krillin also grew up and trained at the Turtle Hermit School like Goku, he was also quite proficient in the techniques of this school, such as the Kamehameha. However, he would later become an incredible fighter in his own right and would create many powerful moves to make him the strongest human in the series, the main one being the Destructo Disc.

But if I don't try, there will be no one left to protect my friends!

How it works

By raising an arm to the sky with an open hand, Krillin summons his Ki and condenses it into an extremely flat and sharp disk that spins very quickly. This powerful attack remains extremely deadly in this franchise, as its cutting power is so formidable that even Goku has been seen using this move on occasion.

Android 18's Infinite Bullet

Android 18 made her debut in the franchise as a powerful killing machine who was hell-bent on destroying Goku and the world. However, she underwent significant character development and eventually became a key member of the Z Fighters.

You fight very well for being a little man.

How it works

Android 18's Infinity Bullet is a variation of the Power Blitz attack seen by several characters throughout the story. By extending her hands in front of her, she uses her infinite energy to form numerous Ki blasts that fire in rapid succession. She was first shown using it when Future Trunks returned to his timeline and fought her.

Goten and Trunks' versions of their father's attacks

Goten and Trunks are the sons of the series' deuteragonists, Goku and Vegeta. While they certainly have the potential to be formidable fighters, their true strength is realized when they fuse into Gotenks, which they seem to do quite a bit. However, they each have their own powerful moves.

Now I'm going to embarrass you, Goten!

How they work

Unlike the other Z Fighters, their most powerful moves are not ones they created on their own. Goten's is his version of a Super Kamehameha, which he learned from his father, while Trunks has the Big Tree Canon, a weaker version of Vegeta's Final Flash. Like Gotenks, however, they have a moveset unique from any other character in the series.

Majin Buu's rage explosion

Majin Buu was originally introduced in the series as a monstrous villain who wanted nothing more than the destruction of everything. However, due to the influence of the Grand Supreme Kai, Buu gained a "good" side that eventually led him to help the heroes as part of the Z-Fighters. Before this, however, he fought Vegeta and used his powerful Rage Explosion Attack.

If you provoke Mr. Satan, Buu will punish you!

How it works

Buu's Fury Blast is a devastating attack that gathers a ton of energy into the villain, which he then fires in a massive explosion around him, covering a very wide radius. This move was so powerful that it left Vegeta severely damaged. However, he has not used this move since due to its power, potentially harming his allies as well.

Piccolo and Gohan's Special Beam Canon

The Special Beam Canon remains, to this day, one of the most powerful moves of all time. dragon ball due to its incredible penetrating power. The move was first used and created by Piccolo when he utilized its power against Raditz and has been seen a few times since then, with the most recent display being at the hands of Beast Gohan who used it on Cell Max. The concentrated penetrating power of the Special Beam Canon has rarely been seen anywhere else in the franchise.

You will laugh at your fears when you discover who you are.

How it works

As powerful as this move is, there is a downside when it comes to executing it. In order to gather enough energy to have unstoppable power, the Special Beam Canon requires a very long charge time to be used at full effectiveness. The user assumes the stance and places two fingers on their forehead, followed by a very long charge to gather and concentrate the energy, so it is believed that others need to be present on the battlefield to distract the enemy in order for the attack to be used in its strongest form.

Vegeta's final explosion

Vegeta has one of the most varied and powerful move sets in the entire series and most of these attacks are strong enough to destroy entire planets. However, his two most powerful moves, the Final Flash and the Final Explosion, are truly in a league of their own and the debate between the two could honestly go either way. However, the latter's properties make it the more dangerous choice here.

Strength is the only thing that matters in this world!

How it works

By gathering all of his life energy within himself, Vegeta releases an incredibly powerful blast, similar to Buu's Rage Blast, which destroys anything the energy comes into contact with. However, the downside here is that it can also kill or severely weaken the user, and the only reason Buu survived was due to his cellular regeneration. Vegeta used this attack again in the Tournament of Power to eliminate Toppo, but this time it did not kill him.

Goku's Spirit Bomb

Much like Vegeta, Goku's repertoire is full of attacks that are so deadly that each one can cause untold devastation. While the Kamehameha, and the many variations Goku uses, remain his most iconic move, the Spirit Bomb has to hold its own in terms of lethality, despite it not working a few times when it was used. What makes this attack so terrifying is the fact that it's not just Goku's energy that's making it happen, but that of many living beings!

Share your energy with me!

How it works

By raising his hands to the sky, Goku asks for the energy of living beings. The amount of energy he receives is directly proportional to the size and strength of the Spirit Bomb, with the largest and most powerful version being the one used against Kid Buu, which destroyed all of his cells and prevented his regeneration. However, like the Special Beam Canon, the attack requires a lot of charge, so another fighter is almost needed to distract the enemy.
