Background / History

Vegeta and Goku are away training with Beerus when Frieza is resurrected and attacks Earth. They return through Instant Transmission in time to repel Frieza's energy blast, then learn that Luya had defended Earth in their absence. Vegeta immediately insists on confronting Frieza himself, despite Goku's concern that the situation resembles their earlier encounters with the tyrant. 13

Frieza attempts to recruit Vegeta as his right-hand man. Vegeta feigns interest long enough to approach him, then attacks and rejects the offer. During their confrontation, he reveals Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and finally Super Saiyan Blue, using divine ki to overwhelm Golden Frieza. Their battle threatens Earth until Goku intervenes and disperses both fighters' energy attacks. 13 14 15

Personality

Vegeta is intensely proud, competitive, and easily provoked. He refuses to surrender a fight to Goku, reacts badly to being surpassed, and treats defeat as an assault on his identity as a Saiyan prince. His anger can sharpen his power rather than break his resolve, as seen against the Universe 6 robot, Zamasu, and Toppo. 15 36 107 192

Despite his harshness, Vegeta has become more protective of others. He worries about Trunks during the Superhuman Water crisis, pushes Future Trunks to become self-reliant rather than depend on Goku and Vegeta, and deliberately provokes Cabba so the younger Saiyan can awaken as a Super Saiyan. 38 74 75 91

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Transformations

Vegeta possesses several Super Saiyan forms, culminating in divine and enhanced divine transformations.

• Super Saiyan / Super Saiyan 2 — Uses both forms against Frieza and throughout the Universe 6 tournament. 14 34 38
• Super Saiyan Blue — A divine Super Saiyan form with blue hair and godly ki; it decisively outclasses Cabba's Super Saiyan form. 14 40
• Super Saiyan Deep Blue — An evolved blue state awakened under pressure from Toppo. 192
• Limitation: Vegeta cannot transform into Super Saiyan 3, a fact he considers an old frustration even after accepting that his other forms can compensate for it. 90 91

Galick Gun

Vegeta's signature energy beam technique, used in beam clashes and finishing attacks.

• Clashes a Galick Gun with Cabba's identical technique during their match. 38
• Uses a near-full-power Galick Gun against Goku Black, though Goku Black emerges uninjured. 95
• Fires it in Super Saiyan Blue to defeat Botamo and Magetta. 150

Final Flash

A high-output beam attack that Vegeta prepares when enraged.

• Begins charging Final Flash against the Universe 6 robot after its magma attacks and humiliation push him to his limit. 37
• Goku intervenes before the attack is completed. 37

Prince Tactics

A rapid barrage of ki blasts used to pressure opponents from multiple angles.

• Uses the technique against the Universe 6 robot after being knocked back. 36
• Fake Vegeta reproduces it during his battle with Luya, reflecting the original Vegeta's techniques and combat strength. 76

Countering Time Skip

After Hit defeats him through Time Skip, Vegeta trains with Whis to develop methods for dealing with the technique.

• Initially cannot perceive or strike Hit while Time Skip is active, leading to his defeat. 41
• His later training is specifically associated with countering Time Skip; Fake Vegeta demonstrates this adaptation when he breaks Luya's Time Skip. 78

Self-Destructive Burst

Vegeta is willing to use a self-destructive attack when conventional force is insufficient.

• Activates Super Saiyan Deep Blue and chooses self-destruction as a last resort against Toppo. 192
• Remains the only fighter standing on the arena after the explosion clears. 192

Relationships

• Goku / Sun Wukong — Rival and frequent training partner. Vegeta constantly seeks to surpass him, but trusts Goku's strength and fights beside him when necessary. 13 20 26
• Bulma — Wife. Vegeta's concern for his family becomes increasingly visible, and he later spends months at home before returning to training. 3 74 203
• Trunks — Son. Vegeta protects him during the Superhuman Water incident and expects him to become strong enough to stand on his own. 74 75 91
• Future Trunks — His future son and trainee. Vegeta harshly criticizes Future Trunks' reliance on others, using their sparring to instill Saiyan resolve. 90 91
• Cabba — Universe 6 Saiyan whom Vegeta pushes into awakening Super Saiyan. Cabba calls him “Master,” while Vegeta regards the title as something that must be earned. 38 39
• Frieza — Former superior and longstanding enemy. Vegeta rejects Frieza's recruitment offer and battles him using Super Saiyan Blue. 13 14
• Hit — The opponent responsible for Vegeta's crushing defeat in the Universe 6 tournament; Hit's Time Skip exposes a gap in Vegeta's combat experience. 40 41
• Luya — A fellow Saiyan whose unusual growth frustrates and challenges Vegeta. Vegeta is particularly unsettled by Luya's mastery of Super Saiyan God and Time Skip. 20 77 80
