All Powers & Abilities in Dragon Ball Z

Frieza's true form — he suppresses his power across four transformations. In his Final Form he appears small and sleek but wields terrifying power. He can destroy planets by charging a single finger. Later he achieves Golden Frieza by training for the first time in his life.

Frieza's Super Saiyan equivalent — achieved after four months of training (the first training of his life). He can match Super Saiyan Blue in this form, though it initially drains energy rapidly due to Frieza's lack of conditioning.

Buu's ability to absorb beings by wrapping himself around them, assimilating their power and characteristics. After absorbing Piccolo and Gotenks he became Super Buu (with their powers); after absorbing Gohan he reached his most powerful absorbed form.

Cell's ultimate form achieved by absorbing both Android 17 and 18. In Perfect Form, Cell can use any ability of any creature in his genetic makeup — including Kamehameha, Solar Flare, and the Saiyan power to grow stronger after being wounded.

The legendary transformation of the Saiyan race, triggered by extreme emotional stress. Hair turns golden, eyes turn green, and power multiplies 50x. Goku first achieved it during his battle with Frieza on Namek — the most iconic power-up moment in anime history.

An advanced Super Saiyan form where electricity crackles around the user and power is further multiplied. First achieved by teen Gohan during the Cell Games after witnessing Android 16's destruction — his rage unlocked a transformation beyond his father's.

Goku's most powerful base Saiyan form at the time of the Buu saga. Eyebrows disappear, hair grows massively, and power increases exponentially — but the form drains energy rapidly, making it unsustainable for long battles.

A transformation that combines Super Saiyan God ki with the standard Super Saiyan form, creating a blue-haired form. Currently the primary form used in Dragon Ball Super battles. Vegeta also achieves this form.

A divine transformation achieved by absorbing the energy of five righteous Saiyans into one. The user gains a lean, slender red-haired form with divine ki. Introduced in Dragon Ball Super. Allows the user to sense and compete with God-level beings.

A state that separates the mind from the body — allowing movement and attack to flow without conscious thought. Considered the technique of the gods, and even Angels train for years to master it. Goku first achieves it during the Tournament of Power. In true Ultra Instinct, his hair turns silver.
