Background / History

Vegeta previously participated in the invasion of Earth, killing Piccolo before Son Goku defeated and gravely wounded him. He escaped in a spaceship after Nappa delayed Goku. 209

Learning that Frieza was pursuing Namek’s Dragon Balls, Vegeta traveled to Namek to prevent Frieza from gaining immortality, claim eternal life for himself, and avenge the Saiyans. Frieza effortlessly subdued him and later pierced his chest when Vegeta tried to make the wish first. Kashius subsequently saved his life. 215 235 240 243

Still obsessed with surpassing Goku and Kashius, Vegeta returned to Earth demanding a spaceship to continue pursuing Frieza. He later revealed his Super Saiyan transformation upon reuniting with them. 271 299

Bulma’s pregnancy changed his priorities: Vegeta refused to leave her side while she was close to giving birth, even with the android threat approaching. After Trunks was born, Cell’s claim to have killed Future Trunks provoked Vegeta into joining the fight. 325 339

Vegeta challenged Cell but was instantly defeated after underestimating Cell’s hidden strength. He refused Trunks’s help despite his injuries and humiliation. 351 353

His attachment to Bulma and Trunks became clearer during Lord Slug’s assault on Earth. Vegeta fought Slug to protect them, initially pierced Slug through the chest, and gave Slug’s invading forces three minutes to leave Earth before annihilation. 418 419

At the World Martial Arts Tournament, Vegeta’s rivalry with Kashius drove him through Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3. Although he wanted to fight freely, he restrained himself because Bulma and the spectators could be caught in the collateral damage. 584 585

After recognizing that solitary training could not close the gap between himself, Goku, and Kashius, Vegeta began seeking their knowledge and trained under Whis. This led to his Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue breakthroughs. 618 642 658

Appearance

Vegeta is a compact, muscular Saiyan with a gravity-defying hairstyle. On Namek, he wears Saiyan combat armor; his transformed forms are marked by dramatic changes in hair, aura, and eye color. 217 299 585 643

• Super Saiyan — Golden hair and a brilliant golden aura. 299
• Super Saiyan 3 — Long golden hair and a sudden surge in power. 585
• Super Saiyan God / Super Red — Scarlet coloration, crimson eyes, and a majestic divine aura. 643

Personality

Vegeta is intensely proud of being the Saiyan Prince and reacts bitterly whenever Goku or Kashius surpasses him. His pursuit of strength is tied to his desire to restore the dignity of the Saiyan royal line; he considers defeat and dependence on others deeply humiliating. 225 271 510

He is blunt, volatile, and frequently threatens violence when frustrated. Trunks can sometimes restrain him by appealing to Bulma and the consequences his actions would bring to their family. 350

Family gradually tempers his cruelty. Vegeta refuses to abandon Bulma during her pregnancy, restrains his strength around her, and shows mercy to Lord Slug’s soldiers by allowing them time to leave Earth. 325 419 584

Although reluctant to admit it, he eventually recognizes the value of learning with others. His decision to ask Goku and Kashius about Ancestral Power marks a shift away from his formerly solitary approach to training. 618

Relationships

• Kashius — Rival who saved Vegeta’s life on Namek. Their competitive relationship escalates into a major tournament battle. 243 244 581 585
