At the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta’s motives were pretty clear: become immortal and conquer the universe. Then, once Goku surpassed him, Vegeta’s motives changed to becoming the strongest warrior and killing Goku. Now, his motives are to protect his family, surpass Goku, and become Earth’s true protector.

Frieza’s motives are simply world dominance and to kill Goku and Vegeta.

When we were first introduced to Frieza, he was considered the most powerful being in the series. That was due to his transformations. After being defeated by Goku and getting killed by Future Trunks. Frieza was brought to life by his subordinates, and for the first time in his life, he trained. After training, Frieza was able to reach a new form called Golden Frieza, and he was able to keep up with Super-Saiyan god-level Goku and Vegeta.

Black Frieza was able to take down both Goku and Vegeta in their strongest forms and kill Gas. Frieza was defeated by Goku, Future Trunks, Vegeta, and Jiren.

4. Beerus

Beerus is the God of Destruction for Universe 7. He sleeps for a decade, and when he wakes up, he destroys planets. Beerus is one of the most feared gods in the multiverse. Beerus loves to eat, which is one of the reasons he doesn’t destroy the earth. As the God of Destruction, he must destroy planets for new ones to be created.

Beerus motives are unknown at the moment. He just does whatever he wants.

People fear Beerus; even the most powerful beings in the universe fear him. A fraction of his power can destroy a whole planet. If Beerus sneezes the wrong way, he’ll destroy half of the planet. No one had ever defeated Beerus in battle.

3. Whis

Whis is an angel assigned to Beerus. He is Beerus’s attendant and martial arts teacher. Whis, along with the other angels, is a child of the Grand Master. Whis is stated to be the strongest being in his respective universe.

Like many of the angels, Whis has perfected his ultra-instinct, and he can turn it on and off as he pleases. Whis also trained Goku and Vegeta, helping them reach the Super Saiyan God. Whis has never lost a battle.
