Personality

Vegeta is intensely proud, competitive, and fixated on proving himself against Goku. He joins the World Martial Arts Tournament specifically because Goku will participate, and later accepts Babidi's influence to secure a serious duel with him 2 26 27.

His pride also makes him defiant. Although Babidi can influence him, Vegeta refuses the order to kill the Supreme Kai because he will not abandon his personal contest with Goku 28. He is impatient with delays, dismissive of opponents he considers weak, and willing to use overwhelming force immediately 20 23 24.

As Trunks's father, Vegeta maintains severe expectations. He harshly reprimands Trunks for allowing Pui Pui an opening, believing an opponent should be finished before they can retaliate 22. Despite this harshness, Trunks's danger provokes an immediate reaction from him during the battle with Buu 32.

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Transformations

Vegeta can transform into Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2. Babidi's magic further unlocks his potential as Majin Vegeta, granting him a major power increase while leaving him capable of resisting commands that conflict with his pride 23 26 28.

• Uses Super Saiyan light to negate Yakon's advantage in total darkness 23.
• Reaches Super Saiyan 2 for his duel with Goku 28.
• Gains an additional Majin-fueled surge after being wounded by Buu, briefly reaching Super Saiyan 3-comparable strength without changing form 33.
• His Majin state does not make him fully obedient; he refuses Babidi's command to kill the Supreme Kai 28.

Big Bang Attack

Vegeta fires a concentrated energy sphere from his palm.

• Instantly annihilates Yakon after Yakon consumes the light of Vegeta's Super Saiyan form 24.
• Blasts Super Buu into a crater during their one-on-one battle 33.
• Its destructive power is great enough that Goten doubts he could fully withstand it himself 33.

Final Flash

Vegeta's high-output beam attack, fired with both hands held in front of his chest.

• Temporarily overwhelms Buu after Vegeta's power rises beyond Super Saiyan 2 34.
• Drains a significant amount of Vegeta's stamina 34.
• Appears to erase Buu completely, but Buu survives by reforming and absorbs Vegeta shortly afterward 34.

Combat Senses and Speed

Vegeta can fight without sight by sensing air movement and reacts to hidden attacks with minimal effort 23.

• Evades Yakon's attacks in darkness with his eyes closed 23.
• His post-injury power boost grants speed that Goku compares to near-teleportation 34.
• His preferred approach against weaker enemies is immediate annihilation rather than prolonged testing of their abilities 24.

Relationships

• Son Goku — Rival and the central focus of Vegeta's pride. Vegeta joins the tournament because Goku is returning, accepts Majin power to force a serious duel, and resists Babidi in order to keep Goku as his sole target 2 26 27 28.
• Trunks — Son. Vegeta criticizes Trunks's carelessness against Pui Pui and demands greater decisiveness from him 22.
• Babidi — Would-be controller. Babidi unlocks Vegeta's potential through his evil heart, but cannot fully compel him to kill the Supreme Kai 26 28.
• Majin Buu — Enemy who survives Vegeta's Big Bang Attack and Final Flash, then absorbs Vegeta and gains his power and techniques 33 34.
• Son Goten — Ally who intercepts Vegeta's attack to protect tournament spectators and later rescues Vegeta from inside Buu 27 45.
• Yakon — Opponent in Babidi's spaceship. Vegeta kills Yakon with a single Big Bang Attack after Yakon consumes his Super Saiyan aura 24.

Story Role / Major Arcs

World Martial Arts Tournament

Vegeta initially dismisses the tournament as beneath him, but decides to enter after learning that Goku will return for it 2. During the power test, his short temper leads him to destroy the punch machine, disrupting the qualification process 8. He later watches Goten and Trunks fight, showing particular approval of Goten's strength while becoming furious at Trunks's flawed Super Saiyan Third Grade transformation 10 11.

Babidi's Spaceship

Vegeta accompanies the group pursuing Babidi and dismisses both Dabura and Majin Buu as threats he can defeat 20 23. He faces Yakon on the second level, counters the monster's light-consuming ability, and eradicates him with Big Bang Attack 23 24.

After growing tired of watching Gohan fight Dabura, Vegeta openly states that his real purpose is to settle matters with Goku. Dabura identifies Vegeta's evil heart, allowing Babidi to transform him into Majin Vegeta 26.

Majin Vegeta and the Duel with Goku

Babidi transports the group back to the tournament grounds, where Vegeta attacks Goku and endangers spectators to force him into battle 27. He admits that Goku's greater strength and past rescues are intolerable to his pride 27.

Even under Babidi's influence, Vegeta refuses to kill the Supreme Kai. He and Goku then transform into Super Saiyan 2 and begin their duel away from the others 28.

Battle Against Majin Buu

When Buu's transformation becomes a greater threat, Vegeta reluctantly agrees to postpone his duel and fight alongside Goku's group 30 31. After the group insists on one-on-one combat, Vegeta is chosen to face Super Buu first 32.

Vegeta initially damages Buu with Big Bang Attack, but Buu regenerates. Following a severe injury, Vegeta's power rises to Super Saiyan 3-comparable levels, allowing him to suppress Buu and fire a devastating Final Flash 33 34. Buu survives, absorbs Vegeta, and gains Vegeta's appearance, power, and techniques 34.

Rescue and Janembuu Crisis

Goten enters Buu's body and frees Vegeta from an egg-like shell, causing Buu to lose Vegeta's energy and revert to his original form 45. After being rescued, Vegeta is angered to learn that Goku possesses Super Saiyan 3 and that Goten has achieved Super Saiyan 4 49.

Vegeta observes Goten's battle with Janembuu and concludes that Super Saiyan 4 and Super Saiyan 3 are on completely different levels 50.
