Saiyans: A Powerful Warrior Race from Planet Vegeta
In Universe 7, most Saiyans were exterminated by Frieza before the events of the Dragon Ball story began. However, there are still a few surviving Saiyans on Planet Vegeta.
The popularity of Dragon Ball has led to the expansion of its lore through various unofficial stories (not created by Akira Toriyama), following the conclusion of Dragon Ball Z in the late 1990s.
These unofficial stories were created to entertain fans who wanted to continue enjoying content related to Dragon Ball.
Now, with the author Akira Toriyama having passed, characters from these unofficial stories are rarely recognized as part of the official canon.
However, in this article, we will take a look at the top 5 strongest Saiyans we have seen in non-canon Dragon Ball stories.
Turles
This character appears in Dragon Ball Z: The Decisive Battle for Earth. This Saiyan looks remarkably similar to Goku. He arrives on Earth to absorb the energy of the living world and poses a significant threat to the evil beings on the planet.
Cumber
Cumber resembles a much stronger version of Broly. This Saiyan is a character featured in non-canon Dragon Ball stories and serves as a symbol of power.
Crimson
Dragon Ball Heroes introduced Crimson, an alternative version of Goku Black, who has witnessed the events taking place in Dragon Ball Super. According to Alfa Beta, he has traversed different realms to survive. Crimson possesses immense power, which has yet to be seen in the Dragon Ball storyline.
Bardock Xeno
In the Super Dragon Ball Heroes series, we see Bardock Xeno, an alternate version of Goku’s father. In his first appearance, he is controlled by the spirits of Mira and Towa. He manages to free himself from their control, showcasing his impressive strength. He later joins the Time Patrol and takes on a new name.
Goku Super Saiyan 4
Finally, we cannot overlook the significance of Goku Super Saiyan 4 from Dragon Ball GT. This transformation is considered a more complete form compared to Golden Oozaru.
Throughout the events in Dragon Ball GT, Goku reclaims his Saiyan heritage due to a transformation caused by the Blutz Waves. Despite his efforts, Goku struggles to defeat the Tuffles who are currently taking control of the Vegeta territory. Luckily, his granddaughter Pan helps him regain his strength, leading him to achieve the ultimate form: Super Saiyan 4.
