Vegeta

Vegeta's fighting style is defined by its aggression, directness, and pride, focused on ending fights quickly with brute force and massive energy blasts, rather than defensive tactics. Unlike Goku, Vegeta utilizes powerful attacks from the outset and a refined, self-taught style incorporating taekwondo techniques, such as spinning and wheel kicks.

Relentless Offensive: Vegeta pressures his opponent to force him to show his cards, setting the pace of the fight.

Technical evolution: Initially self-taught, he has perfected his style by training in extreme conditions and under the tutelage of Whis to improve his speed and accuracy

This transformation is a state attained by those who follow the teachings of the Gods of Destruction, and is a counterpart to the Ultra Instinct of the angels. After training with Beerus, Vegeta awakens this transformation during his fight against Granolah in Cereal. The transformation grants him maximum destructive power, allowing him to use Destruction energy without any problem, but at the cost that the user must absorb every attack against them to obtain the destructive power. Vegeta's doctrine, known as Megaego or Ultra Ego (Wagamama no Goku'i), is a divine transformation based on the power of the Gods of Destruction, characterized by increasing his destructive force (Hakai) proportionally to the damage he receives in combat. Unlike Goku's Ultra Instinct, it is based on instinctive offense and the joy of battle.

Beyond Super Saiyan Blue
This transformation is a state that goes beyond the limits of Super Saiyan Blue, achieved by Vegeta in the Universe Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super. This state is very similar to Super Saiyan Blue in appearance. In this form, the Saiyan's eyes retain the characteristic blue color of that transformation, but they gain a darker shade and black pupils. The hair undergoes the same change, with a style resembling that of a Super Saiyan Second Grade. The aura becomes darker and more intense, larger, and has white flashes. The Saiyan also gains muscle mass.

It first appears in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. It is the same transformation as Super Saiyan Blue. At the time of the film's release, this transformation was known as Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Later, its name was changed to Super Saiyan Blue when it reappeared in the Resurrection 'F' saga (which adapts the events of the film into the Dragon Ball Super series) and the Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 arc.

Vegeta achieves this transformation during the Golden Frieza Saga, after training with Whis and learning to control divine ki (unlike Goku, who assimilated the power of Super Saiyan God). Vegeta looks the same as in Super Saiyan 1, except his hair, eyebrows, eyes, and aura are blue.

Super Saiyan Blue Perfected
Main article: Perfected Super Saiyan Blue.
Super Saiyan Blue Perfected Vegeta
It is a completed state of Super Saiyan Blue that only appears in the Dragon Ball Super manga. This form does not cause any noticeable physical changes to his body and only makes Vegeta lack an aura.

Vegeta, in turn, discovered that Goku could use this ability while they were fused with the Potara Earrings as Vegito. Later, Vegeta achieved this perfected state in the Universe Survival Saga of the same manga.

Vegeta perfected Super Saiyan Blue by sealing the overflowing power of the transformation within his body. Normally, the full power of Super Saiyan Blue could only be used for a short time before the transformation began to weaken. However, by overcoming this weakness and trapping the transformation's power within himself, the Saiyan was able to fight continuously at full strength.

Vegeta attains this form sometime after the events of the Beerus Saga, through training (according to the movie and manga continuity). In this state, Vegeta appears thinner, with reddish pigmentation around his eyes, eyebrows, and hair. In the Dragon Ball Super manga, during the fight against Goku Black and Zamasu, Vegeta first demonstrates the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan God at will, just like Goku. Saiyans also demonstrate the ability to switch between Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue forms instantly. This allows them to move like a Super Saiyan God and attack like a Super Saiyan Blue, landing more efficient and powerful blows on their enemies. Vegeta's use of this strategy put Goku Black, in his Super Saiyan Rosé form, in serious trouble.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Vegeta is able to transform into Super Saiyan God.

SSJ2 Vegeta Versus Kid Buu
Vegeta achieved this form through seven years of intense training. When Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan 2, he undergoes some notable changes, such as his golden hair growing noticeably longer, becoming spikier and sharper than in his Super Saiyan 1 form. He also gains electrical sparks in the aura surrounding his body in this form. This form doubles the power of the ordinary Super Saiyan, as well as the warrior's strength, speed, and stamina.

Vegeta is first seen in this form when he fights Goku while possessed by Bobbidi in the Buu Saga. He also uses this form when fighting Evil Buu before fusing into Vegito, though only in the anime. He also fights Pure Buu so Goku can gather enough energy into his Super Saiyan 3 form to defeat Buu, during which he is easily defeated and returned to base form as Goku is unable to charge his full power due to energy depletion. He also used it in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn! Goku and Vegeta. Oddly enough, in both instances, even when fighting Pure Buu, the electrical flashes of his transformation are absent, despite the lightning constantly surrounding his body in the original manga. This causes some confusion as to whether he actually used this form in the anime, as the lightning only appears for a few seconds when he fires a barrage of ki blasts to buy time. He also used this form to fight Super 17 and Omega Shenron, but was severely beaten on both occasions and seriously injured by Omega Shenron's Dragon Thunder.

Although at the time it was only a legend, Vegeta was fascinated by this transformation and obsessed with achieving it so he could solidify his status as an elite warrior and one of the most powerful in history. Seeing Goku reach this form first and use it to defeat Frieza only fueled his desire to unlock the hidden potential within himself. Vegeta achieved this form during his time training at 300 times Earth's gravity in the gravity chamber. Once he uses this form, his musculature increases slightly, his skin tone becomes lighter, his hair and eyebrows turn golden, and his eyes become blue-green. He is also able to generate a golden aura, and his power increases 50 times from his base form. Vegeta first displayed the Super Saiyan First Grade state while fighting Android 19, where the increase in stamina and ki was so great that he could afford to let the android absorb some of his energy, all for the purpose of tearing off his enemy's hands and thus leaving him defenseless before destroying him.

Vegeta is known to name his various energy attacks. In his first appearance, Vegeta is seen using attacks similar to several of the series' protagonists, such as the Kienzan (気円斬, Kienzan), a laser-like disc capable of cutting through solid objects. A wave similar to Goku's Kamehameha. One of his most well-known attacks is the Galick Gun (ギャリック砲, Gyarikku Hō), although he only uses it once in the main series; during his battle against Goku in an attempt to destroy Earth.[77][78] Later, he develops the Big Bang Attack (ビッグ・バン・アタック, Biggu Ban Atakku)[79][80] and Final Flash (ファイナルフラッシュ, Fainaru Furasshu),[81][82] techniques that are far more powerful than his earlier energy attacks. One of Vegeta's most frequently used tactics in the series is bombarding an opponent with a series of small ki blasts. It is not known to have an official name for this attack, but it is occasionally referred to as Rapid Fire Energy Balls (連続エネルギー弾, Renzoku Enerugī Dan). In Dragon Ball GT, Vegeta displays a powerful new attack, calling it the Final Flash Attack (ファイナルシャインアタック, Fainaru Shain Atakku), where he uses his left hand to fire a massive green ki beam that widens with distance.[83] Due to his immense strength and power, Vegeta, along with many other characters in the Dragon Ball franchise, can destroy entire planets, if not star systems or galaxies, with single attacks if he so chooses.[77][84][85]

Vegeta also possesses several transformations that greatly enhance his abilities to varying degrees. He gains the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan and, through training, can further transform into advanced Super Saiyan states as the series progresses.[86][87][88] Vegeta later achieved the immensely powerful Super Saiyan Blue (超サイヤ人ゴッドSS（スーパーサイヤ人ゴッドスーパーサイヤ人, Sūpā Saiya-jin Goddo Sūpā Saiya-jin) transformation, which he obtained under Whis's tutelage. During his fight with Jiren, a mortal stronger than a destroyer, Vegeta unlocks a transformation called Super Saiyan Blue Evolution by breaking through his most extreme limits. Vegeta can also fuse with Goku, creating a warrior with the combined power and abilities of both. One method involves using the Potara Earrings, which Old Kai gave to Goku. This results in a Potara Fusion, creating Vegito (ベジット, Bejitto), who, upon his reappearance in Dragon Ball Super, can also transform into a Super Saiyan Blue. The other method involves performing the Metamoran Fusion Dance, which creates Gogeta (ゴジータ, Gojīta). Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince, utilizes attacks based on destructive energy, with the Galick Gun and Final Flash being his signature energy beam techniques. He is known for his high destructive capacity with attacks such as the Final Explosion, Big Bang Attack, and consecutive energy blasts, evolving his power to even more advanced techniques in Dragon Ball Super.

During the Future Trunks Saga, Vegeta's attitude as a father continues to develop. While leaving his family once again to train with Goku and Whis, Future Trunks returns to the past and greets him. Vegeta does nothing, not even a wink, simply standing there with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. After Trunks tells the others about Goku Black, instead of sympathizing with Bulma's death and the near-fatal loss of humanity in the future, Vegeta simply berates Trunks for not fighting Black to the end, and how it's a disgrace to him and the Saiyan race to run away from the enemy. It seems this is only because he knew Trunks was running away and that feeling sorry for himself wouldn't accomplish anything. So, the next day, he takes Future Trunks to train, instructing him in the new, higher levels of Super Saiyan, which Trunks was unaware of. Despite all this, he demonstrated a degree of care for his family, as he was inwardly upset with Goku Black for the death of Future Bulma while he was alone in the Gravity Machine. Later, Vegeta is shown to be proud of Future Trunks for how he was giving his all to protect his world from Black. His paternal side grows even more throughout this saga, as Vegeta constantly tells his future son not to give up, and he didn't want to leave him behind when Trunks told him to return to the past. During their fight against Fused Zamasu, Vegeta stood beside Trunks and praised his will to never give up, and together they performed the Galick Gun against Zamasu. But after the attack proved insufficient and Zamasu launched another attack, Vegeta stepped forward, taking the impact to protect his son.

In the Universe Survival Saga, Vegeta's attitude toward fatherhood improved significantly. He appeared happy and excited throughout Bulma's pregnancy with Bra and refused to train with Goku until after his daughter's birth. Vegeta even boldly ignored a direct order from Beerus, stating he would only comply if Bulma agreed. As soon as Bra was born, Vegeta felt an instant attachment to his daughter and became overly protective of her, even taking her from Trunks' arms for not holding her "properly." He demonstrated that he had learned basic infant care skills, such as changing diapers, which surprised Trunks and Goten. Before the Tournament of Power, when Piccolo mentioned that his two sons would be eliminated if Vegeta didn't cooperate with Frieza, Vegeta put aside his resentment toward the tyrant to protect them. Once in the Tournament of Power, Vegeta reveals that his reason for continuing to fight is to protect his pride and fulfill his promise to Cabba, but more importantly, to ensure his universe survives and thus protect everyone, showing a much more human side. At the beginning of Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta is clearly terrified of interacting with Beerus and the Realm of the Gods. When he is defeated, that changes. After Beerus slaps Bulma, he goes berserk, entering a state of rage in Super Saiyan 2. This theme is constant throughout Dragon Ball Super. Vegeta is now a loving father and husband. He went with Bulma and Trunks to an amusement park, and initially refused to participate in a tournament because of his family. He is not fighting solely to become stronger or surpass Goku; he is fighting to protect his family. When the Saiyans of Universe 6 are introduced, Vegeta's priorities shift even further, and he even takes on the role of a mentor to Cabba. The Tournament of Power made him fight for his people (from Universe 6) and his family on Earth.

Vegeta fought against indescribable odds, far beyond his limits, standing against Jiren while even Goku couldn't. Hearing Bulma's voice in his subconscious, he fought on, acutely aware of his limitations, but refused to give up until he could no longer stand. He achieved his own unique transformation through a sense of promise to his disciple, Cabba, who defeated a full-fledged God of Destruction despite his initial terror, and gave his all to stop Jiren. Even when he was defeated, he passed the last of his energy to Goku.

Personality
Vegeta is a cold, expressionless Saiyan filled with resentment for Frieza's betrayal of his race. He despises camaraderie, preferring to act on his own merits and rarely accepting help in a fight (unless their goals align). This is demonstrated when Vegeta offers to form an "alliance" with Goku, Gohan, and Krillin to defeat the Ginyu Force and Frieza. Like most Saiyans, he is extremely arrogant and proud, to the point of being overbearing. He firmly believes that his abilities as a high-class Saiyan make him a genetically superior warrior, leading him to mercilessly kill his enemies if possible, and even act in a petty and cynical manner by abandoning or betraying his allies when they are no longer useful to him.

While this isn't always the case, Vegeta's "pride" has undeniably been both his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. On one hand, it demonstrates his dedication and persistence in surpassing himself, but on the other, it unleashes the worst aspects of his personality, and several villains have exploited this trait to their advantage. A tragic example of this is his fight against Cell. Although Vegeta could have easily destroyed Cell in his current second form, his arrogance got the better of him, and he intentionally allowed Cell to absorb Android 18, hoping to have a better challenge and test his new powers. However, he suffered a humiliating and crushing defeat at the hands of the perfected android. On several occasions, Vegeta underestimates his opponents; in the cases of Perfect Cell and Pure Buu, Vegeta was deceived by their appearances, believing they had merely "shrunk," which is ironic given his own short stature but immense power.

His relationship with Son Goku ranges from contempt to rivalry, and later to respect and friendship. He perceives Goku as always being one step ahead of him, despite being of low class, awakening in the prince a great sense of antipathy and envy toward the kind-hearted Saiyan. From that moment on, Vegeta makes it his personal goal to defeat and surpass Goku in power in order to become the strongest warrior in the universe. Due to his arrogance, bad temper, and past actions, Vegeta earned much disdain from those around him, particularly Piccolo, Krillin, and Tien, who constantly reprimanded him for his cruelty. However, after his plan to defeat Pure Buu and save Earth was successful, Vegeta was recognized as one of the most reliable and strongest warriors known. This not only allowed him to redeem himself for his past actions but also to reconcile with all the Z Fighters and accept them as true comrades. After the defeat of Pure Buu, Vegeta's anger and frustration with Goku evolves into a friendly rivalry, though he remains somewhat annoyed with Goku due to his immature habits. Their rivalry becomes a significant plot point throughout the rest of the series, to the point that Toriyama decides that if Goku has offspring, Vegeta should too, pairing him with Bulma. While this relationship isn't explicitly shown, it's later evident in the Buu Saga that Vegeta cares deeply for his new family and often reacts with jealousy when they speak lewdly about his wife. As a father, Vegeta is initially quite indifferent, seeing Trunks only as Bulma's son. However, as he spends more time with his son's future counterpart, he develops a certain respect for him, learning to appreciate his son. He demonstrates great outrage when Cell kills Future Trunks, going berserk and recklessly attacking the bio-android. After moving in with Bulma and Trunks, his attitude as a father slowly but steadily improves. He has spent time with his family and tried to connect with them. When Trunks was unwilling to do certain things in his training, Vegeta motivated him by rewarding him if he succeeded. One example was when he offered to take Trunks to the amusement park for a whole day if he could land a punch on him in the face. When Trunks succeeded, Vegeta punched him hard in the face. He realized he had gone too far, and although his pride prevented him from apologizing, he kept his promise to his son.

Later, Vegeta demonstrates a complete personality change during the Buu Saga, wanting to sacrifice himself to protect Bulma and Trunks by attempting to eliminate Innocent Buu, but tragically, it was in vain, as Buu regenerated. He later shows his newfound appreciation for life again in the Dragon Ball Z movie: The Dragon Fist Explosion! If Goku Can't Do It, Who Will?, by protecting strangers in a building from a powerful attack by Hildegarn. At the beginning of Dragon Ball Super, he demonstrates a gradual change, becoming more tolerant of others, although he has shown that when it comes to holidays, birthdays, and most occasions to spend time with his family and friends, he finds it difficult to join in and ends up distancing himself from the most fun places (in Dragon Ball Super manga #17, there is a single exception where he plays go-karts with Goku, Beerus, the two Trunks, and Pilaf's gang) when becoming stronger is more important to him. Several characters (including Whis, who refers to this while training him and Goku, telling him that "when the time for relaxation comes, what you should do is rest," and Goku, indirectly, when in such moments he suggests that he not distance himself from the others) have pointed out this tendency of his to avoid relaxing, resting, and fully enjoying himself. Likewise, he and Goku agree to avoid helping each other fight during battles, as they did in the past when they decided to fuse using the Potara Earrings to fight Super Buu, something Goku had already briefly alluded to in Dragon Ball Z, during the final battle against Pure Buu on the Sacred World of the Kais, when he told the Supreme Kais that "it's just not our style."

If observed closely, Vegeta actually changes his appearance physically over the course of the series. He was originally intended to appear deceptively small, thin, and less threatening compared to his massive partner, Nappa. However, during the events of Dragon Ball Z up to the end, he appears to be taller and more muscular, and his hair length has also shortened, though he is still comparatively shorter than Goku, who also appears to have grown taller. Vegeta's facial features become clearer and more pronounced as the series progresses, making him appear more mature (though this can be attributed to gradual aging). However, it should be noted that some of these changes (such as more defined facial and anatomical features in many male characters and increased musculature in all characters) are primarily due to a visible shift in Akira Toriyama's art style over the course of the series. Comparing adult Gohan and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super clearly reveals the difference in their ages.

He is 1.64 m tall and weighs approximately 56 kg. His height is below the average for Earthlings. He has a slender build during the Saiyan Saga but gains significant muscle mass during the Android and Cell Sagas. His skin is pale tan, and he has a broad forehead with a widow's peak, as well as spiky, voluminous hair that ends in a point (similar to his Super Saiyan form)[30]. However, in several official anime media, Vegeta is depicted as a child with several tufts of hair and spikes on his forehead. He also has a harsh gaze (which can be intimidating), slanted eyes with black irises, and jet-black hair with a brownish sheen. A key characteristic of Vegeta is that he is the only living Saiyan who has continued the tradition of regularly wearing the Super Saiyan Cloth.

Vegeta's appearance during the .
Vegeta's appearance during the Saiyan Saga.

At the beginning of the series, Vegeta wears a blue outfit and white and yellow armor; white boots and gloves; and a scouter with a fuchsia lens. Upon arriving on Earth, he had a tail, but it was cut off by Yajirobe during his fight against Goku. In the Namek and Frieza Saga, he wears a navy blue outfit and gets rid of the scouter after gaining the ability to sense Ki, now using a more streamlined version of his armor. Only in the Buu Saga and the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament did he stop using his armor, except for his gloves and boots.

In Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball: Hey! Goku and Friends Return!, Vegeta resumes using his signature armor, and only in the Resurrection 'F' and Universe 6 arcs does he wear a variant with more circular, patterned lines and Whis's symbol on the chest. His suit is dark gray with embellishments or ornamentation. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Vegeta's battle armor, gloves, and boots are a slightly dark gray. In the film, Vegeta uses this armor in conjunction with winter clothing, which consists of a long, light green coat with white stripes, black leather, and the initials "SAB" in violet on the chest. This coat extends to his chin at the top and to his knees at the bottom.

Vegeta IV (ベジータ四世 Bejīta Yon-sei[29]¿?), recognized as Prince Vegeta (ベジータ王子 Bejīta-ōji¿?) and mostly known as Vegeta (ベジータ Bejīta¿?), is the deuteragonist of Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super.

He is the eldest son of King Vegeta III, as well as the newest prince of the Saiyan royal family and one of the few survivors of the Saiyan genocide on Planet Vegeta in Universe 7, perpetrated by Frieza. He is the eternal rival of Son Goku, older brother of Tarble, husband of Bulma, father of Trunks and Bra, and ancestor of Vegeta Jr. Although Vegeta initially plays an antagonistic role in Dragon Ball Z, he soon rebels against Frieza's army, becoming a key ally for the Z Fighters. Over time, he changes his ways, choosing to remain on Earth and raise a family to fight alongside them against the inevitable adversities. Along with Piccolo, he is one of Goku's former enemies who has evolved from a villain and anti-hero to a hero throughout the story, thus becoming the deuteragonist of the series.
