Zeno in Dragon Ball Super is less a “fighter” and more an absolute existence hax character: physically unimpressive, but conceptually at the top of the verse because he can erase anything instantly, including entire universes.

Who Zeno Is

  • Zeno (Zen’ō) is the king of all, ruling over every universe in Dragon Ball Super.
  • Gods of Destruction, Angels, and even beings like Beerus, Whis, and the Grand Priest treat him with extreme fear and respect because his authority and power are absolute.

How Strong Is Zeno?

If “strength” means punching power or martial arts skill, Zeno is actually not strong at all in the usual sense.

  • He has almost no combat skill, no martial arts training, and cannot follow high-speed battles the way fighters like Goku, Jiren, or Beerus can.
  • However, his power is broken: with a simple gesture, he can erase anything from existence—people, gods, timelines, and entire universes—with no known upper limit and no shown effort.

In vs-debate terms:

  • Attack potency: effectively “beyond universal,” since he casually erased multiple universes and even entire timelines.
  • Speed/skill: portrayed like a child with limited perception; he needs others to explain what’s happening in a fight.

Abilities That Make Him Broken

Commonly attributed abilities in the series and guides include:

  • Erase (Hakai-type but absolute):
    • Deletes anything from existence—no body, no soul, no afterlife.
    • Works on universes, gods, and even timelines.
  • Reality and existence manipulation:
    • Treated as the supreme authority of reality in the multiverse; if Zeno decides something “is gone,” it simply is.
  • Immortality / invulnerability (implied):
    • There is no canon scene of Zeno being harmed, hurt, or even threatened.
    • The narrative treats him as someone you simply cannot fight; you only obey or get erased.

“Could Anyone Beat Zeno?”

Within Dragon Ball Super canon:

  • No character has been shown or seriously suggested as capable of defeating Zeno in a direct confrontation.
  • Even beings vastly stronger than Goku, like the Grand Priest, still defer to Zeno and never suggest they could oppose him.
  • The structure of the story uses Zeno as a hard “top of the food chain” cap so the power scale has a ceiling.

In fan debates or cross-verses:

  • Some fans speculate that meta or omnipotent characters from other franchises (like certain outer-god or author-avatar types) could conceptually rival or surpass him.
  • But strictly within Dragon Ball’s own logic, Zeno is functionally the final boss of existence, not a normal combatant.

Power vs “Strength” – The Key Distinction

So when asking “how strong is Zeno”:

  • Physically:
    • Probably far weaker in raw strikes than high-tier fighters like Goku, Jiren, or Beerus.
    • Could be overwhelmed in a regular fistfight if his erasure ability somehow did not exist or could not be used.
  • Overall power / threat level:
    • Completely beyond any fighter because of his instantaneous, unavoidable erasure of anything he chooses.
    • Narrative omnipotent within his setting: if he wants you gone, you are gone, no struggle, no resistance.

In simple terms:
If “strength” means who hits harder in a fair brawl, Zeno is not impressive; if “strength” means who wins any confrontation given their full abilities, Zeno sits at the absolute top.
