Background / History

In Age 737, Vegeta was a five-year-old Saiyan prince on Planet Vegeta. He wore a red cape and already displayed the cold, haughty demeanor he would retain as an adult. He trained conventionally while criticizing his childhood companion Karotis for avoiding Saiyan-style cultivation, even warning that King Vegeta might exile him. 1

Karotis vanished from Planet Vegeta that same day. Vegeta later believed that he had died with the planet, making their reunion during the Android crisis unexpectedly emotional and confusing for him. 1 3

Appearance

Vegeta is depicted with signature spiky hair and a compact, battle-ready build. He commonly wears a blue combat suit and Saiyan armor; prolonged fights leave the outfit badly damaged. 1 5 12

• In his childhood, he wears a red cape. 1
• As a Super Saiyan, his hair becomes golden and he manifests a golden aura. 4
• In Super Saiyan Full Power, his aura becomes unusually calm and natural rather than overtly ferocious. 12
• His Super Saiyan 2 state is not documented in the provided chapters; he is instead shown approaching that breakthrough. 5 26

Personality

Vegeta is intensely proud of both his royal heritage and Saiyan identity. He rejects Earth names, insists that Saiyans are the universe's greatest warrior race, and reacts sharply to any implication that he is weaker than another fighter. 4 12

His pride makes him impulsive and confrontational, particularly toward Karotis, Son Goku, and the Androids. Yet defeat does not break his resolve; it drives him into harsher training and repeated attempts to surpass those ahead of him. 5 8 13

Despite his abrasive manner, Vegeta gradually shows responsibility toward Trunks. He agrees to train his son in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, later acknowledges him with a silent farewell, and expresses satisfaction at Trunks's progress. 9 22 23

Abilities & Skills

Saiyan Transformations

Vegeta can transform into a Super Saiyan and later masters Super Saiyan Full Power. His Full Power state is recognized by its restrained, peaceful aura and allows him to fight at high intensity over extended periods. 4 12 14

• Reached Super Saiyan Full Power through training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber with Trunks. 9 12
• His Full Power form is still far below Karotis's unusually powerful version of the same state. 13
• He is stated to be near a Super Saiyan 2 breakthrough after further training. 26

Final Flash

Vegeta concentrates a vast amount of energy between his hands before firing a powerful shockwave. During his first documented use, the attack distorts the surrounding space and is dangerous enough that Karotis considers its potential threat to Earth. 5

• Used while touching the edge of Super Saiyan Second Grade. 5
• Karotis catches and disperses the blast without injury. 5

Galick Gun

Vegeta fires a purple energy blast from his palms. 14

• His Galick Gun is pierced and overwhelmed by Karotis's Full Power Destruction Beam. 14

Gamma Impact

Vegeta launches a massive electrically charged energy sphere after evading an incoming attack. 14

Combat Adaptation

Vegeta is a gifted fighter who adjusts his tactics after setbacks. Against Karotis, he switches from direct attacks to rapid positional changes and uses an exploding ki sphere to create an opening. 5

• He can sustain extended, destructive battles against Son Goku and ultimately defeats him. 22
• He and Son Goku later coordinate attacks against Karotis during a three-way battle. 27

Relationships

• Karotis / Wang Shen — Childhood companion, rival, and recurring sparring partner. Vegeta initially resents Karotis's overwhelming strength but accepts his training advice and remains determined to surpass him. 3 8 12 26
• Trunks — His son. Vegeta initially considers him a burden, but trains with him in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and gives him a restrained but meaningful farewell before Trunks returns to his timeline. 9 22 23
• Son Goku — Primary rival. Vegeta challenges him after the Cell incident and finally wins their prolonged battle, though he remains frustrated by Wang Shen's greater strength. 12 22
• Android 17 and Lazuli / Android 18 — Initially regards them solely as opponents to be destroyed. Karotis's defense of the Androids and explanation of their past causes Vegeta to soften slightly, though he remains distrustful. 3 8 12
• Cell — A target Vegeta wants to defeat himself. He arrives too late to fight Perfect Cell and is angered when Karotis kills Cell first. 18 19

Story Role / Major Arcs

Android Conflict

Vegeta arrives with the other fighters intending to destroy Androids 17 and 18. When Karotis protects them, Vegeta transforms into a Super Saiyan and attacks him, only to be decisively outclassed. 3 4

Refusing to accept the gap in strength, Vegeta pushes himself through repeated attacks, develops Final Flash, and briefly approaches Super Saiyan Second Grade. Karotis defeats him without killing him and explains that Super Saiyan Full Power is a deeper, more efficient state. 5

Hyperbolic Time Chamber Training

Following his defeat by Android 18 and encounter with Karotis in the eastern archipelago, Vegeta learns of Super Saiyan Full Power and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. He immediately chooses to train there and, after persuasion, brings Trunks with him. 8 9

Vegeta emerges having mastered Super Saiyan Full Power. He openly credits Karotis as the first Saiyan he knows to have reached the realm, despite his reluctance to praise him. 11 12

Cell Crisis

After learning that Cell can evolve by absorbing Androids, Vegeta continues pursuing greater strength. He repeatedly spars with Karotis while Cell threatens Earth, but remains unable to overcome him even after attaining Full Power. 12 13 14

Vegeta arrives as Karotis is about to kill Perfect Cell and tries to intervene because he wants Cell as his own opponent. He fails to stop the execution, then learns that Karotis's Super Saiyan 2 power was far beyond Full Power. 18 19

Rivalry with Son Goku

After the Cell incident, Vegeta challenges Son Goku to a full battle. Their fight levels the surrounding landscape and lasts until both exhaust themselves, but Vegeta remains standing after Son Goku falls. 22

His victory gives him rare, open satisfaction, though Son Goku immediately reminds him that Wang Shen remains stronger than either of them. Vegeta responds with his continuing vow to surpass Wang Shen. 22

Trivia

• Vegeta believes a Saiyan should be proud of their Saiyan name and rejects the use of Earth names for himself. 12
• He considers Karotis more irritating than Son Goku when Karotis persuades him to train with Trunks. 9
• In the hidden stage of the game Saiyan: Little Goku, Vegeta serves as the final challenger in the Saiyan Royal Palace. 23
