Goku comes from a powerful alien race, but not all Sayian warriors are as strong as Goku. dragon ball The protagonist and his family. With some Saiyans never reaching the first of many Super Saiyan levels, This warrior race had a few weak warriors.

Updated on December 28, 2024 by Ana Micaela Leite Scheidemantel. Dragon Ball Daima has yet to introduce any new Saiyans, but past anime series have still depicted some Saiyans who fall short of the standards of a warrior race. This includes some additional characters who haven't proven themselves to be top-level fighters. Not only are these Saiyans not as strong as the strongest warriors of their race, but they have also not shown their true power. Due to his unrealized potential, young age, early death, and lack of storyline, this Saiyan never showed the true power that his race was truly capable of.

Goten
A young Super Saiyan who has not yet received attention.
Goten's The introduction looked very promising between one of the youngest Super Saiyans in the franchise and his Goku-like appearance. However, his value as a fighter thus far is tied to his best friend Trunks, who is older but stronger than him.

Strong leader but weak warrior
As Vegeta's father and the King of the Saiyans, king vegeta From a political perspective, he had some power, but he wasn't powerful enough to fight Frieza. Furthermore, he surpassed Vegeta early in the franchise and never really showed how powerful he was.
Overall, King Vegeta was mostly worried about continuing his rule rather than actually fighting. So fans haven't really figured out what his limitations are as a fighter and as a Saiyan.

bardock and his team
A low-level Saiyan with more potential.
bardock He may be one of the most conflicting fan favorites, as he has canonical and non-canonical appearances depicting many different versions of the character. However, he, like his son Goku, is referred to as a lower-class Saiyan with the potential to break the limits set for him. But he couldn't show what a good fighter he was.
Bardock's team was full of second-rate Saiyans like Shugeshi and Tora, who were all weaker than him but often failed as Saiyans. Unlike Bardock, they never had the potential to expand beyond their initially assigned nature, but there was always the suggestion that Bardock could be capable of more. He never got a chance to show it.

paragus
Using his son's strength to make up for his lack of strength
One would expect the father of one of the strongest Saiyan warriors to have some level of power, but Paragus' The power only extended to controlling his son Broly. As a trickster, his power comes from harnessing his son's power and shows no signs of his actual physical abilities.

Broly has been a part of the Dragon Ball franchise since the '90s, but was only officially released in 2018. Which of these two versions is best?
Although the character never actually demonstrates his skills as a Saiyan warrior, he is portrayed as mostly defenseless without his son to help him, so there is little reason to believe that Paragus has extreme hidden powers that he has not shown.

Vegeta's forgotten and disappointing brother
Some fans may not remember him, but Vegeta has a brother who was exiled because he was deemed too weak. There isn't much information about the Saiyan, except that he is a huge disappointment when it comes to his strength and fighting abilities.

Pan
Unrealized potential that could yet become reality.
There is still time to correct pans She has a destiny as a Saiyan fighter, as she shows a lot of potential as a flying baby, the daughter of Gohan and Videl, and the granddaughter of Goku and Hercule. Like her father, she possesses much untapped potential, including taking on powerful enemies at a young age and granting her own mother temporary Saiyan powers.
However, she is still too young to prove herself as a Saiyan, and if Gohan is any indication, she may never reach her full potential. Despite being depicted as a fighter jet Dragon Ball GTShe seems to lose the battle more than anything, but there's always the possibility that her fate will change and show just how powerful her 1/4 Saiyan side really is.

napa
Sadistic Saiyan with standard abilities
but napa Although he looks very threatening, he is one of the weakest Saiyans compared to how strong his species can actually become. One of the few Saiyans who first appeared in Dragon Ball ZNappa was physically strong, defeating most human Z-fighters, but upon Goku's arrival it became clear that he pales in comparison to other warriors of his species.
Nappa was easily killed by Vegeta, showing that his sadistic nature meant he never stood a chance against the strongest Saiyans, despite appearing stronger than he actually was.

Raditz
A low-ranking Saiyan who serves as an initiate into the warrior race.
when Raditz first appeared in Dragon Ball ZHe was able to inflict significant damage. He is responsible for one of Goku's deaths. However, the more revealed about the Saiyans and their powers, the more clear it becomes that Raditz is not considered a great warrior within his race.
In the beginning, I am worried about Goku and Piccolo's strength. dragon ball z, These Saiyans are consistently referred to as lesser warriors, serving to introduce a powerful race to the anime. With how much Goku, Vegeta, and the rest of the Saiyans have evolved since then, Raditz has no comparison.

Guinea
A Saiyan who is not a warrior becomes Goku's mother.
If you become Goku's biological mother, you may be guaranteed a certain status. dragon ball universe, Guinea Very unlike her son, she is portrayed as frail and gentle. A lower-class Saiyan with no real achievements as a warrior, Gine is portrayed more as Goku's mom, but it's unclear whether that's because she has unrealized potential or a weak personality.
Overall, very little is known about Gine in canon, as she has received very little attention in the franchise thus far. Despite this, despite her genetics making her the strongest Saiyan of all time, she appears to have no notable physical strength or power among the warrior race.

Bulla (bra)
A waste of potential for Saiyans who are almost human.
It's hard to consider. Call it Saiyan, because she looks like a typical human and shows absolutely no aptitude for combat. As the second child of Vegeta and Bulma and Trunks' younger sister, it is no exaggeration to say that she has incredible potential to become a powerful Saiyan.

Dragon Ball: 8 Things You Didn't Know About Bulla
Bulla, the daughter of Bulma and Vegeta, is a character that isn't explored nearly enough in Dragon Ball, but actually has quite a bit going on.
But so far she's done almost nothing to show her connection to the Saiyan name as a fighter. Especially considering her dragon ball GT characterization. Nonetheless, as a half-Saiyan and the daughter of two fan-favorite characters, she is amazing as a warrior, especially when looking at other younger half-Saiyans like Goten and Trunks. Bulla is still very young, so there's always a chance he could make a difference as a Saiyan warrior in the future, but for now he still has to prove himself as a warrior.
