Hero Overview

Fine, Kakarot, you are the mightiest Saiyan, I've admitted that much. At least for now. But don't you dare think that this is over. I won't let you keep me in second place forever, feeding on the scraps of your glory. I will surpass you, and even then I'll keep pushing, I'll surpass every single warrior in the Universe. I won't stop until I'm the ultimate number one!
~ Vegeta vowing to surpass Goku.
IT'S OVER 9000!
~ Vegeta's most known line.
That's how I became a Super Saiyan! The sleeper has awakened... I am the Prince of all Saiyans once again!
~ Vegeta after he transformed into a Super Saiyan.
You're pitiful, Kakarot. You were warned about the Heart Virus. You should've known turning into a Super Saiyan could only make it worse. Really, Kakarot. You're far too forgiving to be a great warrior. I'll finish these androids, but then you're next, got it? Good.
~ Vegeta to Goku after got defeated by Android 19 due to the Heart Virus.

Prince Vegeta IV, or just simply Vegeta, is the deuteragonist of the Dragon Ball franchise.

He starts as a villain, but as the story progresses, he becomes one of the heroes of the Z Warriors. He is the prince of the warrior race known as the Saiyans. He is Bulma's husband and the father of Trunks and Bulla. He also has an on & off rivalry with Goku, but they are usually on good terms.

He is voiced by Ryo Horikawa in the Original Japanese version (who also voices Captain Falcon in the Super Smash Bros. series), Brian Drummond in the Ocean dub (who also voices Blurr in Transformers: Armada, and Streaky in Krypto the Superdog as well as Copy Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super), Roger Rhodes in the Blue Water version, and Christopher Sabat in the FUNimation version, who also voices Yamcha and Piccolo in the same series, Elfman Strauss in Fairy Tail, All Might in My Hero Academia, Yami Sukehiro in Black Clover, Alex Louis Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist, and Roronoa Zoro in One Piece.

Personality[]

Jiren: Your battle is already over, Saiyan. You know it's futile and yet something pushes you to keep going. What could it be?
Vegeta: Good question. But even if I told you, you wouldn't understand, because you're just a cold-blooded bastard. You wouldn't know what it means to fight for others with all your heart and soul!
~ Vegeta's determination.

Vegeta is a cold and disdainful man, as well as bitter about the destruction of his people and their time under Frieza's boot. Because of his title as a prince and his Saiyan heritage, he feels that he is superior to almost everyone else and thinks Saiyans are the strongest race in the universe. Ever since he was a child, Vegeta has had no problem with killing but has become less inclined to do so over time. In fact, he has stated that he became a ruthless killer and warrior due to Frieza making him so, indicating he could have turned out differently.

As time went on, Vegeta eventually lost his mercilessness and cruelty, becoming more relaxed and very attached to his wife and children. After becoming Majin Vegeta, he did return to his former ways, but it was just a failed attempt to regain his cruelty, thinking that was what made him strong before. As one of the elites of the Saiyan race, Vegeta was obsessed with becoming a Super Saiyan, something that is legendary amongst his people. He was also obsessed with surpassing his rival, Goku, and in the movie, Fusion Reborn, he actually wept at his inability to do so.

However, as Goku fought Kid Buu, Vegeta finally admitted that his rival was superior and his rivalry towards him has become more of a friendly one. Vegeta is rather aggressive and easily enraged, but can also be rather intelligent and serious, though he possesses a dry, even dark sense of humour, often mocking his enemies. Despite his arrogance and feelings of superiority, Vegeta has at times shown fear of powerful opponents but has always continued to fight them.

Relationship[]

Family[]

  • King Vegeta: King Vegeta is Vegeta's father and the tyrannical ruler of the Saiyan race.

  • Goku: Goku is Vegeta's best friend and former arch-rival. At first, they started out as enemies on the Saiyan Saga, but later allies in the Planet Namek saga when fighting against Frieza. During the Android saga, Vegeta saved Goku's life from Android 19 because he declared if anyone is going to defeat Goku, it is going to be Vegeta himself. Vegeta calls Goku an idiot for transforming into a Super Saiyan which speeds up the Heart Virus as well kicked Goku to Piccolo.

  • Beerus: Vegeta is very respectful towards Beerus as he called him as Lord Beerus. He met him with Vegeta was a child.
  • Good Buu: Vegeta was once enemies with the Good Majin Buu. He tries to kill him by exploding himself but failed due to him regenerating.

Powers and Abilties[]

Vegeta is an extremely powerful warrior, rivalled only by Goku. As a Saiyan, he possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, endurance, and durability and gains a significant increase in power whenever he is injured. Vegeta can manipulate energy in the form of blasts and flight, as well as sense the energy of others, and with his tail, he can become a Great Ape by being exposed to Blutz Waves, increasing his power ten times.

SSJVegeta2

Vegeta using his Big Bang Attack

Like many characters in the Dragon Ball series, Vegeta has a number of signature techniques that he uses. One is the Big Bang Attack, where he fires a medium-sized ball of energy from his hand, generating a sizable explosion. Another is Galick Gun, one of his most powerful attacks early on in the series, where Vegeta holds his hands in front of his torso with the backs parallel to each other while bending to one side, charging energy around him before thrusting his hands forward, firing a beam of energy.

Vegeta using his Final Flash

Another of his techniques is the Final Flash, where Vegeta holds his hands out at his sides, charging energy in them, before bringing them together in front of him and firing a powerful blast of energy. The next of Vegeta's techniques is Super Energy Wave Volley, where he fires a fast barrage of energy waves at the opponent. Another is the Final Shine Attack, where he holds his hand at his side, charging a sphere of energy in it, then brings his hang forward, firing a powerful blast. Vegeta has the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan, where his power and abilities greatly increases beyond his normal form, and he had been obsessed with obtaining this form for most of his life, especially after he saw others do so.

254px-ASSJ Vegeta

Vegeta as an Ascended Super Saiyan

When he transforms into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta's hair turns pale blond, his eyes become green, and his body becomes slightly more muscular. He later gained the form of an Ascended Super Saiyan, which is a more advanced level of the Super Saiyan form and is much more powerful than the normal form. In this form, Vegeta calls himself "Super Vegeta" with his muscles increasing in size and his hair becoming larger and spikier. Although he will never use it, Vegeta has the Super Saiyan Third Grade. However, he considered this form primitive due to its bulky muscles making him hard for Vegeta to move fast as well he won't hit his enemies who has any source of speed.

SSJ2Vegeta

Vegeta in Super Saiyan 2 form

Eventually Vegeta gained the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan 2, which is a successor transformation to the normal Super Saiyan form. It gives him much greater strength, speed, and energy output and causes his hair to become longer and spikier, as well as electricity to appear in the energy aura surrounding him. Vegeta later gained the form of Super Saiyan 4, after Bulma empowered him with a Blutz Wave generating machine, though it made him transform into a Golden Great Ape at first.

SSJ4VegetaPissed

Vegeta as a Super Saiyan 4

He managed to regain consciousness in that form, allowing him to make the jump to Super Saiyan 4. Vegeta becomes even more powerful when he transforms into this form since it is the perfect combination of Super Saiyan and Great Ape forms. In this form, he gains red fur on much of his body and tail, his hair becomes longer, more wild,

and brown in colour and his eyes become aqua coloured. In the Raging Blast video games, Vegeta gained the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan 3, a transformation level above the Super Saiyan 2 transformation and dramatically increasing his power, but has never done this in the anime or manga. Vegeta also learned how to perform

Gogeta (in Super Saiyan form)

In the Fusion Dance with Goku, causing them to fuse together into the more powerful Gogeta, which they have used when facing highly powerful opponents. However, this technique has to be performed exactly correct or it will result in a fusion that's actually less powerful than the fusees and it only lasts 30 minutes. Then the fuses have to wait an hour before they can do it again.

In the Potara Earring Fusion with Goku, causing them to fuse together into the more powerful Vegito, which they have used when facing highly powerful opponents. However, this fusiion will only last for 1 hour.

Quotes[]

I am Vegeta, Prince of all Saiyans!
~ Vegeta.
It's Over 9000!
~ Vegeta's famous quote
Kakarot!
~ Vegeta to Goku.
Nobody kills Kakarot while I'm around. Destiny has reserved that luxury for me!
~ Vegeta.
Amazing. How do you do it, Kakarot? You've always been like this, ever since the day I first met you; always ready to meet the next challenge, even if it's bigger than you are... It was the same on Namek. You had improved so much that it made Recoome like he was standing still. Your power had increased so dramatically since our battle on Earth that I thought you had done it, I thought that you had become a Super Saiyan! It tore me apart! How could a low-class soldier accomplish so easily what I...I had to struggle my whole life to achieve!? After three millennia, it has finally happened; a new Super Saiyan has emerged, and, somehow, I have become this pauper's witness. Then at last, it happened. I too transformed. After living every moment of every day for the singular purpose of surpassing you, I finally became a Super Saiyan myself, the Prince had reclaimed his throne and fulfilled his destiny. But no matter how strong I became, your power still exceeded mine. At first, I thought it was your loved ones; that it was your instinct to protect them that spurred you on and pushed you beyond your limits. But then I found myself with a family of my own, and my power... didn't increase at all. I used to fight for the sheer of pleasure of it; for the thrill of the hunt, oh I had the strength unmeasurable - I spared no one. And yet, you showed mercy to everyone, even your fiercest enemies, even me! Yet, you never fought to kill, or for revenge. Only to test your limits and to push yourself beyond them, to become the strongest you could possibly be. How can a Saiyan fight like that and at the same time be so gentle that he wouldn't hurt a fly? It makes me angry just thinking about it! But, perhaps it is my anger that has made me blind to the truth for so long. I see it now, this day has made it all too clear. You're better than me Kakarot. You are the best.
~ Vegeta shows his respect for Goku.
What did you do... TO MY BULMAAAAAAA?!
~ Vegeta's furious response to Beerus slapping his wife, Bulma.

Trivia[]

  • Vegeta's rivalry with Goku has made him so determined to be the one to beat him, that he actually saved Goku's life numerous times.
  • Unlike other characters, Vegeta has always referred to Goku by his Saiyan name, "Kakarot", with a few rare exceptions.
  • Counting his Super Saiyan 3 form in Raging Blast, Vegeta has apparently reached every Super Saiyan form, since it was stated that he could use the Ultra Super Saiyan form, but didn't because of the fact it takes away speed.
  • Technically, Vegeta should be the "king" of the Saiyans due to his father's death but has never referred to himself by this title, possibly out of respect for his father.
  • Though he lost his father during his childhood, Vegeta seems to have inherited his father's talent for applying military tactics in real-time fieldwork.
  • In his first few appearances in Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta had a completely different color scheme with orange and green armor and brown hair.
  • As the Dragon Ball Z series went on, Vegeta wore less and less of his armor, first losing the crotch guard after the Saiyan saga, then the shoulder guards during the Captain Ginyu Saga, then just a chest plate in the Android saga, and finally in the World Tournament Saga where he wore no armor at all. In Super, however, he wears chest plate armor again.
  • After the Frieza Saga, it seemed as if Vegeta's left arm took the most damage whenever he was badly hurt in battle.
  • He has a habit of referring to himself in the third person whenever he's in a Super Saiyan form.
  • Vegeta is the only pure-blooded Saiyan seen in the series whose children weren't born with the black spiky hair and black eyes commonly seen in Saiyans.
  • Vegeta is one of Goku's major rivals in the series, alongside Hit and Jiren.
    • Vegeta is also very similar to Caulifla: They both clearly want the newer higher crazier levels like Goku has as he is always the first one to reach the newer higher crazier levels, like Autonomous Ultra Instinct, especially even during in the Tournament Of Power, while watching his first time Autonomous Ultra Instinct fight with Jiren.
  • Vegeta appeared twice in DEATH BATTLE!, where he won against Shadow the Hedgehog and lost to Thor Odinson.
