Zeus, the god of thunder, isback in the new Netflix Original anime seriesBlood of Zeus. The king of the gods goes to war with half the pantheon, an army of monsters, and the giants in the series that carries his name all to cover up the shame brought on by his infidelity. It would seem that Zeus would challenge anyone to an epic anime battle in order to prove that he has the right to rule.

How he wouldfare against other anime heroes like Goku and Vegeta is a question fans of the series may be asking. The list below notes five characters from Dragon Ball that the Zeus shown inBlood of Zeus could beat in a fight, and five that could beat him.
10 Zeus Beats YamchaBecauseOf His Godlike Strength And Durability
Yamcha has become a meme amongstDragon Ballfans because of the way he lagged behind the other Z fighters as the series progressed. Though he continued to train on his own, the human martial artists were so far outpaced by his friends that he didn't even receive an invitation to the Tournament of Power.
This fact is proof enough of his inability to keep up with the gods of this world. Zeus could more than likely defeat Yamcha without even having to rely on his lightning powers thanks to his god-like strength and durability.
9 Vegeta Beats Zeus BecauseOf Super Saiyan Blue
Vegeta's strength and durability are nearly at the level of the gods, and his ki blasts are sure to overpower Zeus and his lightning.

In the Tournament of Power, Vegeta defeats Toppo when he is utilizing the powers of a god of destruction. This battle proved that Vegeta could compete with the gods. Even if Zeus' strengths are unique when compared to the gods of Dragon Ball, Vegeta hasshown that he is capable of overcoming a variety of powerful enemies.
8 Zeus Beats Master RoshiBecause Of His Immortal Youth And Ranged Attacks
Though Master Roshi was once the most powerful character inDragon Ball he was quickly outpaced by Goku and Krillen. His old age and inability to multiply his power beyond a single transformation make him little more than a well trained old man.
The turtle shell wearing senpai does have some tricks up his sleeve though. His skills allow him to hold his own in the Tournament of Power. Still, Zeus' strength and ability to attack from a distance with his lightning bolts would take the old man out without too much of a struggle.
7 Goku Beats Zeus With Ultra Instinct
The main protagonist of the Dragon Ball franchise has proven that he can overcome any obstacle in his path if given the appropriate time to train. Though his journey began sparring with powerful humans Goku now spars with the likes of angels and gods.

Zeus is king of the gods and has the strength, power, and durability to prove it, but the gods introduced in Blood of Zeus pale in comparison to Beerus. Though Goku is stillunable to defeat the god of destruction, he would certainly defeat Zeus.
6 Zeus Beats Android 16By Overcharging His Circuitry
The android saga is one of the most well-received sagas in all ofDragon Ball thanks to the powerful and relatable androids that serve as the antagonists.
Android 16 is one of these androids, and his peaceful nature makes him an extremely likable character. On top of being peaceful, Android 16 is shown to be made of intricate mechanical parts that allow him to keep up with some of the best Z Fighters. Unfortunately, his robotic structure would be overloaded by Zeus' control of lightning before the peaceful robot could convince himself to fight back.
5 Jiren Beats Zeus Because Of His Godlike Strength And Speed
The smug-faced member of the Pride Troopers demonstrates in the Tournament of Power that he is one of the most powerful characters ever introduced in Dragon Ball. Whis even goes as far as stating that Jiren may be as strong as Beerus.
If this is true, Jiren might be capable of destroying all of Olympus. Even Ultra Instinct Goku needed help defeating Jiren during the Tournament of Power. Zeus would need quite a bit of help from his fellow gods to take out Jiren.
4 Zeus Beats KrillinBecause Of His Mastery Of Lightning And Control Of The Sky
The bald individual is shown to possess incredible power for a human. Even if Zeus does not always act strategically, he is well beyond the power of humanity.
The gods complete control of the sky would allow him to overwhelm Krillin with a barrage of lightning bolts while also concealing his movement with rain and cloud cover. Krillin is an impressive fighter and also excels at concealing his own movements with his solar flare ability, but he has yet to encounter a foe with powers quite like Zeus.
3 WhisBeats Zeus Because Whis Never Loses
The angelic intergalactic being known as Whis is tasked with serving and training Beerus, a god of destruction. In order to do so, Whis must privy to skills and powers that Beerus has yet to master. Though we haven't seen Whis in a real battle, he manages to outpace all the Z Fighters while training them.
Zeus has control of the sky and the ability to hurl lightning bolts, but he would stand no chance against an angel that regularly spars with a god of destruction.
2 Zeus Beats Tien Because Of His Godlike Strength, Durability, And Control Of The Sky
Though Tien may match the power of a demi-god with his skill in the martial arts and mastery of a number of powerful power amplifying techniques, he would still struggle to defeat the god of thunder.
Viewers ofBlood of Zeus areled to believe that Zeus is a trained warrior. This means his skills extend past hurling lightning bolts and controlling the sky. Pair these two super abilities and his godlike attributes with any martial art, and Tien would surely be overwhelmed.
1 Beerus Beats Zeus BecauseOf His Powerful Ki
When Goku first meets Beerus inDragon Ball Super he battles the god in order to stop him from destroying Earth. It is unclear whether Zeus could do battle in space, but even if he could, he would be going to war without the sky backing him up.
Perhaps he could still use lightning as a weapon in space.Blood of Zeus showed that these projectiles are capable of creating small explosions. Fans ofDragon Ball Super know that these small explosions are nothing compared to the strength ofBeerus' ki blasts. Beerus wins this battle without much of a struggle.
