There are multiple kinds of power, though, and Baba is not useless just because she hasn't physically won any battles. 10 FORTUNETELLER BABAįortuneteller Baba definitely is not a warrior, and would likely die easily against the majority of the franchise's current martial artists. She was known for being a kind-hearted Saiyan, so we can't imagine she would have been a match for any of the other Saiyans we've heard of. Presumably since the Saiyans are a warrior race, she was able to defend herself and would have been more powerful than most humans, but she simply wasn't cut out for a warrior's life. In fact, Bardock had to save Gine in battle on multiple occasions. It turns out that even though she was initially part of Bardock's team of warriors, she didn't have the same fighting instinct as Bardock. But then we finally did get to find out some more about the mom of the family: that her name was Gine, and how powerful she actually was. We would even learn that Bardock became a Super Saiyan long before Goku ever did, so it seemed like there was a lot of power in the family. It took quite a long time for us to actually learn who Goku's parents were, but once we did, we got to see his powerful brother, and get hints of how powerful their dad was.

Yet given the right circumstances, she could become someone to take serious again, as evidenced by Future Mai and the resistance she mounted against Goku Black. Now that she has been reverted to a child in Super, however, what little power she did have has no doubt been diminished even further. That was more due to the usage of guns, robots, and other technology, but it was still enough to make her a threat for a time. Though Mai's ineffectiveness only became more apparent the longer she stuck around, early on she was one of the few women to openly attack Goku and endanger him.

By the time they show up again in Dragon Ball Super, the trio have been so left behind in power that the Z Fighters don't even give them a second glance in terms of being a threat, despite Pilaf still having designs on ruling the world. They're able to provide Goku a challenge very early on, but the more they return, the more obviously outclassed they are. 15 BULMAĮmperor Pilaf, Shu, and Mai have rarely been anything more to Goku than a fleeting nuisance in his journey. This is Dragon Ball: 15 Most Powerful Female Characters.

The contrast between some of these women is huge, but that just speaks to how seldom they have been given the opportunity to test their ability. We're only going to be looking at women who have either already shown off their power through fights, or else have been shown to be people who are respected for the power they possess. In light of this big change, we've decided to look at the toughest women across the entire franchise to highlight how rare they have been, and how big of a deal this is. By the looks of things, we're about to see several different female characters take some spots as some of the strongest people we've seen. Dragon Ball has very rarely really been a franchise where women have been depicted as powerful fighters, so this is a pretty big change for the story. If you've been keeping up with Dragon Ball Super, you know we've just seen a lot of new characters introduced through the other universes in the story, including a surprising number of female characters.
