DragonBall Z is known for its legendary battles, over-the-top transformations, and, of course, its unforgettable villains. While power levels and final forms often dominate discussions, today we’re ranking these antagonists based on something deeper: their backstories. A great villain isn’t just about destruction—they need compelling motivations, tragic origins, or ruthless ambitions that make them more than just another obstacle for Goku and the Z Fighters.
