Background / History
After Raditz reported that Goku's combat power exceeded 100,000, Vegeta abandoned a planet-conquest assignment from Frieza and traveled to Earth with Nappa. He hoped Goku's growth would reveal a way to break his own limits and eventually defeat Frieza 410.
Earth was not the weak planet Vegeta expected. He found numerous Saiyans and genetically modified fighters there, and Nappa was killed almost immediately after threatening civilians. Sensing that an attack could cost him his life, Vegeta chose to integrate into Earth life instead 411.
On Earth, Vegeta learned about further Saiyan transformations and acquired techniques through Endless Flames technology. After achieving Super Saiyan form, he departed by spaceship to seek revenge on Frieza, intending to return to Earth 412.
