The base game of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is all about retelling the story of Dragon Ball Z. Although countless DBZ games before it have done this exact thing, none have managed to do it in a way that is as faithful to the original source material as Kakarot is. Though heroes are an important part of this iconic story, it could be argued that the villains are just as important if not more. While playing through the game, players will encounter all four main villains from each of the four arcs of Dragon Ball Z, including Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu.
Determining which attack is the most powerful can be difficult, as there isn’t always a standard metric that can be used to measure this. Instead, it is interesting to take a look at which of these four villain’s techniques is the deadliest, as in which ones killed the most people. More often than not, these iconic abilities from the anime make their way into Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as attacks the player must avoid during boss fights, and they tend to be very punishing to those players that fail to do so.
Surprisingly, Vegeta doesn’t actually kill that many people during the Saiyan Saga, leaving most of the dirty work to Nappa. In the anime, he does use something akin to Galick Gun to wipe out Planet Arlia, but this is usually considered non-canon and doesn’t appear in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. A few humans are presumably killed when Vegeta’s spaceship pod crash lands in the city, but this can hardly be considered one of his technique. In fact, in the Saiyan Saga, the only person that Vegeta actually kills is Nappa after he is defeated by Goku. To accomplish this, he uses the Galaxy Breaker Technique.
Vegeta kills way more people in the Frieza Saga, with his kill list including Cui, Dodoria, Appule, Zarbon, Guldo, Burter, Recoome, and Jeice, and at this point he’s still acting mostly as a villain. He also kills several Namekians and Frieza Force Soldiers, but these are all done with a variety of techniques or simple hand to hand combat. During the Buu Saga, Majin Vegeta kills an entire stadium full of civilians with a powerful blast. The anime depicts this as his Big Bang Attack, while Kakarot instead shows some kind of yellow beam attack akin to Final Flash. It seems safe to say that this technique is the one that kills the most people in a single blast.
Although Vegeta’s kill count remains surprisingly low throughout the entirety of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot‘s base story, the same cannot be said for Frieza. During the Namek Saga, players only see Frieza kill a handful of Namekians for the most part. Towards the end, he personally deals the killing blows to Krillin and Vegeta, enraging Goku and prompting his transformation into a Super Saiyan. Despite all of this, Frieza’s deadliest attack is easily his iconic Death Ball technique.
Although players don’t get to see Frieza do this in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, this is the technique he uses to wipe out the Saiyan race and destroy Planet Vegeta. Death Ball does make an appearance in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, though, and turns out to be his most powerful and dangerous technique. In the second DLC when players fight Golden Frieza, they even have a chance to deal enough damage to the tyrant before he finishes charging the attack in order to avoid it altogether.
This one may come as a bit of a surprise, as Cell’s deadliest technique isn’t even all that flashy. Though it may be tempting to say his Solar Kamehameha is his deadliest ability since it is outright stated that it has the power to destroy an entire Solar System, this move doesn’t actually kill anyone. By contrast, Cell’s absorption attack while in his imperfect form is easily the one he uses to kill the most people. With this technique, Cell absorbs hundreds of thousands of people, possibly even millions of people.
Without doing this, there’s no way that Cell ever would have reached his Perfect Form and been able to stand up to the Z Warriors. It’s worth noting that Cell is actually very weak at first, being unable to defeat Piccolo in combat and instead preferring to keep to the shadows. As he makes his way around the world absorbing civillians, he grows steadily more powerful until he becomes the powerhouse that players fight at the end of the saga. Despite this, Cell’s kill count is higher than Vegeta’s but still much lower than Frieza, who actually destroyed an entire planet and likely has done so many times in the past.
The final enemy that Goku and friends face in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is Majin Buu, an ancient force of destruction that threatens to destroy the entire universe. Within the context of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, he doesn’t manage to do this as he is stopped by Goku and Vegeta, but he does rack up quite a few kills on his way. The deadliest technique that players get to witness is without a doubt his aptly named Human Extinction Attack.
With this one technique, Super Buu fires homing energy beams at every single human left alive on Earth. The only humans to survive this attack are Hercule, Tien, Chiaotzu, and all the humans that are on Kami’s Lookout with Super Buu at this point (Krillin, Yamcha, Bulma, etc.). With only this knowledge, it can be said that Buu has killed more people than Vegeta or Cell, although it’s difficult to compare to Frieza. Both villains have been at large for a long time, so it’s really impossible to say how many they’ve killed off screen. Still, this moment cements itself as one of the most memorable and harrowing in all of Dragon Ball Z.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
