Fans won't have long to wait until Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero finally makes its way to the cinema later in the summer. With returning favorites as well as new foes to fight, fans are excited to see the fights and what powerful forms will be revealed to save the day.

Looking back on the entire franchise while fans wait patiently for the further adventures of Goku and co, Ranker has decided which ones are the best. While these, often multi-episode, fights are brutal and push the heroes to the absolute brink in the endless search for the Dragon Balls, they have truly impressed the voters over at Ranker.

Note: Please note that due to the Ranker voting system, these positions are subject to change. At the time of publication, this is the most accurate Ranker listing. 

Goku Vs. Broly

Broly Holds Goku in Dragon Ball

Before Broly was finally made an official character within the canon of the series, he was introduced as the main villain in the 1993 movie Dragon Ball Z: Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan. After awakening his powers, Broly is set to defeat the Z Warriors as a comet comes to destroy the New Planet Vegeta.

But with only Goku left standing, he faced a new and powerful Super Saiyan form that wasn't seen at the time all by himself. And what made the battle extra special was seeing Goku use the power of his friends and rival to overcome the odds and defeat Broly.

Vegeta Vs. Buu

Dragon Ball Majin Vegeta Self Destructs

Following in the footsteps of Cell, audiences would meet the pink and childish Majin Buu and see Gohan and Supreme Kai being easily defeated by this new menace. But to protect his son and the planet, Vegeta stepped in to stop the new threat across some of his best episodes.

What made this fight memorable to this day was Vegeta finally atoning for his past actions and sacrificing himself to blow up Buu for good. While this saga would see the Prince of All Saiyans finally turn around and become a hero, this fight showed off just why this character had so many dedicated fans.

Piccolo Vs. Android 17

With the threat of Future Cell and Androids 17 and 18 now free, Piccolo must stop them before the time traveler absorbs their power. And with the fusion of Kami, the Namikian warrior certainly had a strong opponent to contend with to stop Cell's plans.

While Goku and Vegeta usually gain the spotlight for most of the fights throughout the series, Piccolo's battle with Android 17 saw him finally as strong as the Super Saiyan forms that they both attained. This alien fighter may not have appeared in many great battles since, but his early life as a hero saw some great bouts in the early Dragon Ball Z sagas.

Goku Vs. Beerus

Dragon Ball Battle of Gods Beerus Versus Super Saiyan God Goku

Released in 2013, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods would open up the universe and introduce everyone to Beerus, the God of Destruction within one of the best movies in the franchise. Despite Goku's best efforts to touch him in his Super Saiyan 3 form, even that wasn't enough to make him sweat.

But when Goku learns of the ancient form known as Super Saiyan God, he uses the energy of his Saiyan friends and family to reach this new power level. While Goku does ultimately lose to Beerus, the epic fight made such an impact that the series continued with Dragon Ball Super and would bring back the powerful god too.

Gohan Vs. Super Buu

After being defeated by Buu for the first time, Gohan finally managed to reawaken his hidden power and became Mystic Gohan. Now back on Earth to stop the new form of Super Buu, Gohan would be tested to its new limits.

After destroying the people of Earth, Gohan emerging as a true superhero rather than his tacky persona of Saiyanman was fitting as one of the other warriors took center stage once again from Goku. But his new confidence would see Gohan eventually be beaten by his cockiness as Super Buu absorbs more people.

Vegito Vs. Super Buu

With Super Buu now having additional powers from Gohan, Piccolo, and Gotenks, Vegeta and Goku were forced to combine their powers and fuse. Following in their sons' footsteps, the two rivals become the new being known as Vegito.

No matter how hard Super Buu tries, he just gets overpowered by the fused being, even when they've turned into candy. But much like Gohan, his overconfidence truly got the best of him as he got absorbed into Super Buu.

Goku and Vegeta Vs. Kid Buu

Despite starting as the hero and villain during the first saga of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta and Goku finally teamed up as heroes to defeat Kid Buu. And as the final big bad of the series, he was no pushover despite his size.

While Goku has always accepted a hand of forgiveness and friendship towards Vegeta, this battle finally led to the Prince of All Saiyans accepting that Goku is the strongest out of the two of them. And seeing them save the entire universe against such an evil being was a fantastic way to end this show too.

Gohan Vs. Perfect Cell

After battling Perfect Cell, Goku let his son Gohan have the opportunity to defeat this powerful foe from the future. And after awakening his powers thanks to Android 16, Gohan turned the tide for his fight against his opponent, setting up the teenager as the main protagonist for this arc.

The arcs slowly opened up to this moment and the animators delivered the best fights around the young Saiyan-human character. And the fight ends with the two using a Kamahamema that could obliterate the solar system, the battle remains intense until the very end.

Goku Vs. Vegeta

Goku's 1st Battle with Vegeta

In second place from Ranker is the first fight between Goku and Vegeta in the Saiyan saga. While his friends did their best to stop Nappa, Vegeta finally stepped onto the battlefield to fight Goku.

Despite his size, Vegeta proved to be no joke, doing everything in his power to beat Goku and be in the top spot. And this fight would also cement the start of a series-long feud between the two, even becoming rivals in Dragon Ball Super to top each other to the best of their abilities. This would even see the proud prince take on some of the strongest opponents any of the heroes faced in the series.

Goku Vs. Frieza

Dragon Ball Super Saiyan Goku Vs Frieza Namek

Despite their best efforts, the Z Warriors and the Nakemians just couldn't stop the evil alien emperor among many moments that made fans miss the Frieza saga. But when Frieza cruelly kills Krillin in front of Goku, the enraged hero finally turns into the Super Saiyan form for the first time.

Seeing Frieza and Goku battle across a destructive planet Namek was easily one of the best battles as everyone who can sense and watch the fight reflected how fans must have felt at the time. And while their fight ended in a stalemate, this fight would be one of Goku's best.
