CBR Anime Ranks Eight Strongest Non-Canon Dragon Ball Heroes

CBR Anime has published a ranking of the eight most powerful non-canon heroes in the Dragon Ball franchise. The list highlights characters who appear in movies, video games, and alternate timelines rather than the main manga continuity.
The article profiles Tapion from Wrath of the Dragon, noting his sealing abilities rival Perfect Cell's strength. It features Pikkon, whose elemental attacks forced Goku to use Super Saiyan Kaio-Ken, and Majuub, a fusion retaining Buu's magical powers. Android 21 is included for her diverse DNA and Majin form, while Nuova Shenron is recognized for his heat-based arsenal and honor.
Xeno Trunks is cited for his Time Patrol training leading to Super Saiyan God status. Shallot, the protagonist of Dragon Ball Legends, rounds out the list with his rapid ascent through divine transformations. These selections emphasize characters whose feats often exceed or differ significantly from the primary Z-Fighters.
