Personality
Vegeta is intensely proud, competitive, and fixated on proving himself stronger than Goku. Even after admitting that Goku is ahead of him, he vows to surpass him through training under equal conditions rather than accept help or excuses. 20 36
His pride does not prevent him from acting for others when the stakes are serious. He agrees to fuse with Gohan to save Earth, uses a personal request to have Earth reinforced, and later accepts fusion with Goku when his family is threatened. 29 36 305
Vegeta is blunt and ruthless toward enemies. He dismisses appeals to friendship and bonds as meaningless in battle, considers destruction part of his duty as a God of Destruction Candidate, and uses lethal Destruction Energy against Granolah. 198 268 272
He also displays a demanding but approving paternal side. He gives Trunks room to face Goku Black, praises Trunks, Goten, and Gotenks after they protect Earth, and harshly corrects fighters whose power control is inadequate. 121 160 265
Abilities & Skills
Saiyan Transformations and God Power
Vegeta progresses from Super Saiyan 2 into God Power-based transformations through Shin's training. His Super Saiyan Blue initially consumes energy rapidly, leading Shin to make him train to maintain the form and prevent energy leakage. 26 45 53
- Super Saiyan 2 — used against Fat Buu. 26
- Super Saiyan God Red — one of the God Power forms gained during Supreme Kai Realm training. 45
- Super Saiyan Blue — used against Golden Frieza; its energy expenditure requires extensive control training. 53 60

Story Role / Major Arcs
World Martial Arts Tournament and Majin Buu Conflict
Vegeta initially dismisses Shin and Kibito as insignificant but privately recognizes Shin as a powerful enemy. Once he learns Shin is the Supreme Kai, he recalls the deity's standing alongside the God of Destruction and becomes deeply wary of him. 7 8 12
During Babidi's crisis, Vegeta struggles with the revelation that Goku is far stronger than him but refuses to abandon his goal of becoming the strongest Saiyan. He replaces Gohan against Dabura, outclasses the Demon Realm King through skill, and turns Dabura's petrification magic against him. 20 22 23
Vegeta battles Fat Buu as a Super Saiyan 2, but Buu eventually overwhelms him. To prevent Earth's destruction, Vegeta accepts Potara fusion with Gohan, creating Bejifan. 26 29
Supreme Kai Realm Training
After the Buu crisis, Vegeta asks Shin to train both himself and Goku and uses his additional request to have Earth reinforced with Divine Power. 36
He trains in the Supreme Kai Realm alongside Goku, Broly, Buu, and Kibito. Over four years, he gains Super Saiyan God Red and Blue, though Shin repeatedly warns him that excessive physical training and poor rest hinder his progress. 42 45 47 53
Golden Frieza Battle

Future Trunks Conflict
When Goku Black and Zamasu threaten Trunks, Vegeta chooses Zamasu as his own opponent while deliberately leaving Goku Black to Trunks. He sends Goku Black back toward Trunks with a single punch so his son can continue gaining battle experience. 121
Ultra Ego Awakening
After the second stage of Shin's training, Vegeta trains under Whis and develops Super Saiyan God Purple, also called the Ultra Ego Technique. Whis identifies him as a God of Destruction Candidate who has comprehended ten percent of Destroyer God Power. 139 142
Vegeta tests the form against Gohan. His injuries continually raise his power, but Gohan identifies the technique's principle and defeats him. Shin nevertheless praises Vegeta's growth and tells him that retaining both humility and pride may allow him to surpass Goku. 143
Tournament of Power
Vegeta reveals his God of Destruction mode in his match against Bergamo, causing Universe 9's God of Destruction to concede rather than allow Bergamo to be killed. 149

Granolah Conflict
When Granolah threatens Earth, Vegeta immediately returns to protect his family and forces Granolah to retreat with Destruction Energy. 265
Vegeta later insists that, as the Saiyan prince, he has an obligation to resolve a disaster caused by the Saiyans. He pursues Granolah across the universe and uses Destruction Energy to erase Granolah's clones and body. 268 272 273
Evil God Crisis
