Dragon Ball 5 Anime Characters Whod Win The Tournament Of Power (& 5 Whod Lose)

Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power gathered the universes' strongest characters, but what if it included other anime? Who would win or lose?

As the Tournament of Power was designed to pit the universes' greatest warriors against one another, it was a bit of a missed opportunity on Dragon Ball Super's part to not include characters from other anime in the tournament. Goku may have proven himself against Jiren in the end, but that still doesn't answer the question of how he would fare against anime characters from other franchises.

The Dragon Ball series is known for having some of the most ridiculously overpowered characters in fiction, with Dragon Ball Z introducing Frieza as a villain who could destroy a planet with one finger. Characters in other anime series are also seen as pretty overpowered, but not all power is equal in the eyes of Dragon Ball Super, particularly where the Ultra Instinct shines brightest.

10 Win: Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach)

As a Captain of the Gotei 13, Byakuya is easily one of the most powerful Soul Reapers in Bleach. While he doesn't have the brute strength of Komamura or experience of Yamamoto, Byakuya's skill is diverse enough that he doesn't simply rely on the powers of his Zanpakuto, Senbonsakura, which is easily one of the best in the series.

What sets Byakuya apart from this fellow Captains is his use of all aspects of Soul Reapers powers. He uses both Kido and Spirit Energy techniques in tandem with one another, something very rarely done by other characters in Bleach.

9 Lose: Kenpachi Zaraki (Bleach)

Kenpachi Zaraki could be a contender for the strongest character in Bleach, even compared to Yhwach and Ichigo, though he is heavily let down by his personality. Wanting nothing more than a good fight, Zaraki suffers from the same problems as many Saiyans in Dragon Ball, holding back so he can enjoy the battle.

This resulted in Zaraki losing many battles he should have easily won, as well as not discovering the name of his Zanpakuto until the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, where he showed off the terrifying power of his Bankai. Like Ichigo's Bankai, its power was far too great for Zaraki's body to handle, leading him to lose the battle necessarily, which wouldn't have happened had he not been so stubborn for so long.

8 Win: Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)

Naruto may be something of a god by the end of Shippuden, with his power growing even more in the years between Kaguya's defeat and his inauguration as the Seventh Hokage. Although he relies a lot on Kuruma for big battles, it's easy to forget how his other techniques would prove to be very useful in a free for all battle.

For one, Naruto's Transformation Jutsu was probably the best of any ninja in the series, even while he was still a Genin. His transformations have proven good enough to fool many high ranking ninjas, and his master of Shadow Clones would make it very difficult for the participants of the Tournament of Power to find the shinobi on the battlefield.

7 Lose: Boruto Uzumaki (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations)

Like his father before him, Boruto has something of an overconfidence problem that leads to him not being as powerful as he could be. Naruto seems to have outgrown this character flaw by the time his troublesome son is born, but it's a flaw that Boruto has holey inherited from his father.

Unlike Naruto, Boruto is an exceptional ninja from a young age, whereas his father had to train and fight hard to reach his high status. This gives Boruto a similar level of arrogance that holds Gohan back from being a truly great warrior.

6 Win: Saitama (One-Punch Man)

It seems like no matter what is put in Saitama's way, he is able to overcome it with ease. Even One-Punch Man's Boros, season one's clear reference to Frieza, couldn't even leave a scratch on the caped baldy.

Saitama may have the handicap of not being able to use any energy-based attacks, but his raw strength, speed, and ability to take a hit would make him one of the better competitors in the Tournament of Power

5 Lose: Genos (One-Punch Man)

Genos is incredibly powerful, as shown multiple times in the series as well as his immediate jump to S-Rank after his initiation into the Hero Association, but he never seems to win a fight. This is likely to show just how much more powerful Saitama is to everyone else in the series, but it does mean that Genos doesn't live up to his rank all that much.

Most notably, Genos seems to always get literally destroyed whenever he tries to take on a particularly powerful enemy, as has probably been rebuilt more times than Vegeta's training room.

4 Win: Light Yagami (Death Note)

Light may have lost in the end, but he was able to do some serious damage while acting as Kira. Even if the rules for not killing opponents isn't ignored, Light has shown many times to be able to control the actions of his victims with devastating effects and is able to put off their deaths until absolutely necessary.

The easiest solution would be to simply write Jiren's name in the Death Note, having him knock out every other competitor in seconds while Light sits safely in a corner. However, knowing Light and his penchant for convoluted plans, it would probably not be so simple a plan.

3 Lose: Misa Amane (Death Note)

Unlike the original Kira, the Second Kira is nothing but a pale imitation, largely due to Misa being nowhere near as smart as Light. Misa does have the advantage of being able to see people's names when in possession of the Shinigami Eyes, but the characters in Dragon Ball never have a problem with telling people their names, as they like them to know who defeated them so soundly.

Even with the protection of Rem, whose threat of death scared even Light at one point, Misa is not likely to survive very long in the tournament.

2 Win: Ryo Asuka (Devilman Crybaby)

Ryo Asuka spends the majority of Devilman Crybaby as a manipulative force in the background, being responsible for the creation of many devils, including Akira, and having no issue with killing people to prove his point to the world.

Ryo's threat is turned up to eleven, however, when he discovers that he isn't who he thought he was. As it turns out, Ryo is a fallen Satan who crashed to Earth after a battle with God and his angels. After accepting his past and transforming back into his angelic form, Ryo is easily able to demolish the Devilmen who oppose him, including Akira himself.

1 Lose: Akira Fudo (Devilman Crybaby)

The main character of Devilman Crybaby is one of the most powerful devils in the series, with both humans and devils alike being scared of his potential to destroy either side of the conflict by himself. Unfortunately, Akira's strength doesn't even come close to the likes of Ryo, being manipulated by him even before his past as Satan came to light.

Akira's climactic battle against Ryo came to a screeching halt when he was effortlessly cut in two by his former friend, a wound that even Frieza found hard to recover from, and his involvement in the Tournament of Power would likely end the same way.
