Background / History

Vegeta is the son of King Vegeta and prince of the Saiyans. Before leaving Planet Vegeta, he is already being personally guided by Reiz, a renowned young Saiyan warrior whom King Vegeta cultivated and appointed as Vegeta's teacher. 3

He departs Planet Vegeta with Reiz and Linoshi despite Frieza's order forbidding Saiyans from leaving. When Dodoria confronts him over this disobedience, Vegeta openly rejects Frieza's authority over the Saiyans. 27

His early travels repeatedly expose the limits of his strength. Reiz defeats him blindfolded, Dodoria's power initially frightens him, and Broly brutally overwhelms him on Planet Vampa. These experiences turn Broly into Vegeta's foremost benchmark and rival. 22 27 37

Under Reiz's training, Vegeta learns ki sensing, undergoes extreme recovery-based training, and begins pursuing the peaceful heart needed for an ordinary Super Saiyan transformation. Although he reaches one million combat power, he has not achieved the transformation within the documented chapters. 61 104 116 117

Appearance

Vegeta is a young Saiyan child with black hair, a brown Saiyan tail, and Saiyan battle armor. Despite his age, he consistently carries himself with the posture and expression of royalty. 37 70 123 238

• Frequently stands with his arms crossed and chin raised. 61 70
• Wears Saiyan armor during combat and travel. 37 103
• His tail visibly reflects his mood, swaying smugly when proud and hanging limp when discouraged. 61 117
• Is described as roughly five years old during the Sacred World of the Kai incident. 123

Personality

Vegeta is intensely proud of being the Saiyan Prince. He is quick to mock opponents, refuses to be dismissed as weak, and often measures his worth through combat power. This pride drives him to challenge enemies above his level, including Recoome, Kibito, and Frieza. 50 129 213

His confidence is frequently undercut by Reiz and Broly. He reacts badly to humiliation, but he also learns from failure: after nearly suffocating in space while copying Reiz's Force Field, he accepts Reiz's explanation instead of continuing to argue. 26 27

Vegeta's desire to surpass Broly is a defining motivation. He is jealous of Broly's extraordinary growth, yet he refuses King Vegeta's suggestion to kill Broly while he is unconscious, choosing instead to pursue strength until he can catch up himself. 117 131 245

Reiz's Super Saiyan instruction forces Vegeta to work on self-control. He struggles to maintain a peaceful heart when insulted or provoked, but deliberately restrains himself because he believes calmness is essential to his transformation. 104 115 126

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Recovery Growth

Vegeta can receive substantial increases in combat power after surviving critical injuries and being healed.

• Reiz's healing after the Qiu Yi battle raises him from 15,000 to 20,000 combat power. 36
• He deliberately risks critical injury against the Ginyu Force to raise his combat power to 80,000. 53
• Reiz later uses Broly and Majin Buu to push him through harsher recovery training. 116
• This method eventually reaches diminishing returns at one million combat power. 117

Ki Sensing and Energy Blasts

Vegeta learns to locate opponents by sensing their ki rather than relying on a Scouter.

• He successfully detects Guldo's location after Reiz teaches him the technique. 61
• He uses multiple Energy Blasts to cut off Guldo's escape routes before killing him. 61
• He can deflect Ize's destructive beam with a casual backhand. 227

Galick Gun

Vegeta can fire the Galick Gun, a concentrated golden energy attack.

• He uses it to strike the Supreme Kai from behind and interrupt the Divine Power binding Broly. 132
• The technique is employed tactically rather than as a direct finishing attack. 132

Hand-to-Hand Combat

Vegeta is an aggressive close-range fighter who combines rapid movement with punches, kicks, knees, and palm strikes.

• He overwhelms Frieza Force soldiers without being harmed by their gunfire. 103
• He trades blows evenly with Ize, whose strength is close enough to test Vegeta's accumulated combat experience. 227
• He can defeat opponents through precise strikes, such as his palm-blade execution of Guldo. 61

Peaceful-Heart Training

Vegeta is training to cultivate the calm state Reiz identifies as necessary for becoming an ordinary Super Saiyan.

• Reiz explains that a peaceful heart allows S-Cells to develop, with intense emotion later triggering the transformation. 104
• Vegeta accepts repeated brutal training sessions because he believes they will move him closer to Super Saiyan. 116
• He has not yet transformed into an ordinary Super Saiyan in the provided chapters. 213 283

Force Field Attempt

Vegeta attempts to imitate Reiz's barrier technique in outer space but fails because he does not understand that the barrier must enclose air before entering the vacuum.

• His self-made barrier cannot sustain him in space, leaving him close to suffocation. 26
• Reiz rescues him and explains the technique's oxygen-related limitation. 27

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Gravity Ring — A gravity-training ring made by Reiz; Vegeta credits it with helping raise his combat power efficiently. 45
• Saiyan battle armor — His standard combat attire, durable enough to withstand ordinary gunfire without visible damage. 103

Relationships

• Reiz — Teacher, mentor, and the strongest authority in Vegeta's life. Reiz trains Vegeta harshly, heals him, and repeatedly humbles his pride. 3 36 116
• Broly — Rival, companion, and Vegeta's primary standard for strength. Vegeta resents Broly's natural growth but protects him from King Vegeta and wants to surpass him fairly. 62 117 245
• King Vegeta — Father and Saiyan king. Their relationship is strained by Vegeta's growing independence, though King Vegeta is deeply proud when Vegeta returns with over three million combat power. 237 245
• Linoshi — Reiz's close companion and a source of information during Vegeta's travels; Vegeta is cautious around her because of her influence over Reiz. 30 62
• Majin Buu — Training partner and frequent opponent. Buu participates in Reiz's recovery training regimen and heals Vegeta after near-fatal beatings. 116 117
• Son Goku / Kakarot — A low-class Saiyan whom Vegeta resents because of Reiz's high expectations for him. Their first meeting begins with Vegeta telling Goku about Raditz's death and later challenging Goku's confidence. 280 283
• Frieza — A long-standing enemy and symbol of Saiyan subjugation. Vegeta openly challenges him while declaring his intention to become a Super Saiyan. 27 213

Story Role / Major Arcs

Departure from Planet Vegeta

Vegeta leaves Planet Vegeta with Reiz and Linoshi, violating Frieza's orders. He is initially overconfident in his own strength but quickly learns that Reiz has hidden overwhelming power and that Frieza's final form possesses 120 million combat power. 27 30 31

Planet Vampa and the Ginyu Force

Vegeta kills Qiu Yi after surviving a near-death recovery, then meets Broly and Paragus on Planet Vampa. Broly's overwhelming strength begins Vegeta's enduring rivalry with the Legendary Super Saiyan. 36 37 42

He later fights the Ginyu Force, but Recoome and Ginyu expose the limits of his strength. Vegeta repeatedly uses recovery boosts to grow, learns ki sensing, and kills Guldo. 50 53 61

Pride Troopers and Namek

Vegeta antagonizes Dyspo and Kahseral after they arrive from Universe 11. Kahseral shrinks him with a specialized gun, and Broly later recovers him from captivity. 70 75 76

After being healed following his fight with Dyspo, Vegeta reaches 300,000 combat power. He refuses to join Reiz and Broly in playing with the shrunken Pride Troopers, preserving his own dignity despite his humiliation. 90 84

Super Saiyan Training and the Sacred World of the Kai

Reiz explains the ordinary Super Saiyan transformation to Vegeta and begins training him to keep a peaceful heart. Vegeta reaches one million combat power through repeated near-death recovery sessions but finds that his gains have reached a limit. 104 116 117

When Shin and Kibito abduct him and Broly, Vegeta challenges Kibito and is decisively defeated. He later uses Galick Gun to free Broly from the Supreme Kai's restraint, allowing Broly to drive Shin and Kibito into retreat. 129 132

Frieza Family Campaign

Vegeta travels with Reiz's group during their attacks on Frieza family planets. He confronts Frieza, King Cold, and Ize, and the repeated battles raise his combat power beyond three million. 213 224 227 230

Return to Planet Vegeta

Vegeta returns to Planet Vegeta alongside Reiz and Broly, revealing that he helped destroy Frieza's planets. He destroys King Vegeta's artificial full moon and shocks the Saiyans by revealing his three-million combat power. 236 237

When Broly becomes drunk and rampages in the royal palace, Vegeta handles him himself. After knocking Broly unconscious, he refuses King Vegeta's demand to kill him and states that he intends to catch up to Broly instead. 244 245

First Meeting with Son Goku

Vegeta meets the young Kakarot on Planet Vegeta and reacts bitterly to Reiz's prediction that Goku may one day achieve as much as him. After Goku claims he can defeat him with three days of training, Vegeta accepts the challenge and returns to train. 280 283
