Background / History
Vegeta first senses Ye Ming's Super Saiyan power from his gravity-room training and becomes immediately interested in challenging the unknown Saiyan. He agrees to join Son Goku in a three-way spar at the Sacred World of the Kai, where Ye Ming overwhelms the two Saiyans despite their combined assault. Vegeta reluctantly agrees to fuse with Son Goku when they cannot otherwise contend with Ye Ming, but their Vegito fusion is also defeated. The loss forces Vegeta to acknowledge the immense gap between himself and Ye Ming, though it does not diminish his resolve to surpass him. 3 4 5
After Beerus's arrival and Ye Ming's battle with the God of Destruction, Vegeta seeks a stronger path than Super Saiyan 4. He travels with Ye Ming, Son Goku, and Son Gohan to the God of Destruction Realm, where Beerus trains him in Hakai Energy. Beerus considers Vegeta naturally suited to becoming a God of Destruction because of his Heart of Destruction. 13 14
As a Universe 7 representative in the Universe 6 tournament, Vegeta defeats Kale using Hakai Form and then overcomes Hit by shattering his Time Cage with Destruction energy. He later faces AF Son Goku, whose Perfect Super Saiyan 4 strength vastly exceeds his own. Although Vegeta awakens stronger Hakai Energy through his pride, he is ultimately defeated. 21 22 24 25
Following the tournament, Vegeta continues training in the Destruction Space. His Ultra Ego advances, he masters Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, and he integrates Blue into his Ultra Ego. He challenges Son Goku to establish himself as the second-strongest Saiyan after Ye Ming, demonstrating his continued need to prove his strength. 34 35 36
Appearance
Vegeta is typically depicted in battle armor, though it is repeatedly damaged or destroyed in high-level fights. In his Hakai and Ultra Ego states, he manifests purple hair, purple pupils, crackling Destruction energy, and a more intimidating presence. 4 21 22 36
- Battle armor was shattered during Ye Ming's assault and again damaged during his fight with AF Son Goku. 4 23
- His Hakai Form is marked by purple hair, purple lightning, and a golden earring. 21
- In Ultra Ego, he is surrounded by purple energy and is described as having a rebellious, sinister expression. 36
Personality
Vegeta is intensely proud, competitive, and unwilling to accept defeat. His primary motivation is to surpass strong opponents—especially Son Goku and Ye Ming—and he treats battles as proof of his worth as the Saiyan Prince. 3 6 36
Despite his arrogance, Vegeta is highly decisive in combat. He does not test opponents cautiously; against Kale, he attacks before she can transform, and against Hit, he uses overwhelming Hakai Energy to deny his opponent opportunities to recover or escape. 21 22
His pride also fuels his growth. When AF Son Goku overwhelms him, Vegeta recalls Beerus's teaching and strengthens his Heart of Destruction rather than surrendering. However, Ye Ming and Beerus warn that Hakai Energy can consume him if he allows it to control his judgment. 22 24
