Vegeta

Biodata

Power Progression

Main-Timeline Vegeta

• Unrealized named goal: After the Tournament of Power, Vegeta sets out to develop Super Saiyan Sixth Stage: Ultimate Evil Sublimation. His later documented transformation is called Dark Super Saiyan 6; the two names are not explicitly equated 225 242.

Super-Space-Time Counterpart

Background

Vegeta’s early life includes fighting on other planets, serving in the Frieza Force, and losing his homeworld. He later comes to Earth and is repelled by Goku, dies at Frieza’s hands on Namek, and witnesses Goku’s emergence as a Super Saiyan. The android incidents and Majin Buu crisis repeatedly force him to confront his rival’s superior strength 47 135.

After Majin Buu’s defeat, Vegeta acknowledges Goku’s strength without accepting permanent second place. Two years later, he continues training while many of Earth’s other fighters return to civilian life 2 3.

His childhood encounter with Beerus leaves a separate, lasting grievance. Beerus humiliates King Vegeta and the Saiyans and frightens the young prince with a glance. When Beerus returns decades later, Vegeta treats their confrontation as a chance to reclaim his people’s dignity 20.

Appearance

• Normal state: Upright black hair; regrows a brown-black tail through Shenron 4 5.
• Super Saiyan 3: Waist-length golden hair, absent eyebrows, a lowered brow ridge, and blue-white electrical arcs 10.
• Supreme Evil Sublimation: Remains a Super Saiyan 4 form, surrounded by black light and a blood-red aura; later displays blood-red eyes 115 125.
• Majin Super Saiyan 5: Dark-red fur with a blood-red sheen and dense baleful energy 178.
• Dark Realm return: His appearance changes drastically, accompanied by a murderous aura far beyond his Tournament of Power presence 241.

Personality

Vegeta’s pride is inseparable from his identity as the Saiyan prince. He initially measures progress against Goku’s transformations, but eventually rejects following the same route and commits to developing an independent path through evil power. Even after witnessing greater transformations, he responds by training rather than abandoning the rivalry 17 147 202 225.

His cold manner conceals powerful attachments. Bulma and Trunks are important enough to make him accept fusion despite his objections, and concern for Goku’s survival overtakes his resentment during the battle with Beerus. When their combined resistance fails, he gives Goku his remaining energy 31 35 47.

His pursuit of power makes him vulnerable to manipulation, but not wholly submissive. He rejects Litz’s offer to surpass Goku through outside help, resists the mental pressure of Majin Super Saiyan 5, and retains a strong sense of self even after Dark Realm corruption. Once he recognizes the destruction caused by his actions, he chooses to confront the Great Evil God rather than obey him 180 231 242 245 246.

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts and Combat Perception

• Mental resistance: Overpowers Majin Super Saiyan 5’s attempt to turn him into a bloodthirsty killing machine 180.

Resistance to Divine and Temporal Techniques

• Time Cage escape: Breaks out of Hit’s restraint and crushes the energy sphere of his ultimate attack 116.

• Limit against his benefactor: His Final Flash cannot harm the Great Evil God, who can also read his thoughts 246.

Fusion

• Vegito — alternate counterpart: Super-Space-Time Vegeta and his Goku use Shin’s Potara Earrings. Their fusion develops forms as high as Super Saiyan Blue 3: Ultimate Sublimation, but those achievements belong to Vegito rather than either individual fighter 82 88 91.
• Potara limitation: Vegito’s increasing power cracks the earrings, beginning during his Blue Evolved Evolution state 85 88.

Equipment & Training Resources

• Whis — Training facilitator who recognizes Vegeta’s independent development and does not oppose his cultivation of evil power 136 147 167.

• Hit — Tournament opponent. Vegeta defeats his temporal techniques and praises him after winning 114 116.
• Super Jiren — Tournament of Power opponent who acknowledges Vegeta’s strength before eliminating him 180 181.
• Evil God Litz — Abductor who exploits his desire for power. Her charm fails to subdue him, but her spatial abilities and dark restraints overpower him 231.
• Great Evil God — Manipulator and benefactor who strengthens Vegeta as a weapon against Goku. Vegeta ultimately rejects his ownership and attempts to destroy him 232 240 246.

Story Role & Major Arcs

Restored Tail and Renewed Rivalry

Goku’s visit interrupts Vegeta’s gravity training and leads him to request a restored tail from Shenron. That wish breaks his long-standing bottleneck, allowing him to achieve Super Saiyan 3. After a year of mastering the form, he challenges Goku, only to discover that his rival has already reached Super Saiyan 4. Vegeta concedes defeat but renews his promise to become the strongest Saiyan 3 4 10 15 17.

Beerus’s Arrival

With Bulma’s help, Vegeta reaches Super Saiyan 4 before Beerus arrives at her birthday celebration. His attempts to avenge the Saiyans’ humiliation end in defeat when Beerus erases his Final Flash and knocks him into the sea 20 23 25.

He subsequently agrees to fuse with Goku to protect Earth and his family. When the two later face Beerus’s Ultimate Destruction Sphere together, Vegeta is severely injured and transfers his remaining energy to Goku. He is later present at the Universe 6–Universe 7 tournament, where he witnesses Goku’s return 35 47 106.

Universe 6 Tournament and the Evil-Power Path

Goku’s disappearance and Beerus’s overwhelming strength drive Vegeta to draw out the ruthless side of his nature. Against Hit, he reveals Supreme Evil Sublimation, overcomes Time Cage, and wins the tournament for Universe 7 115 116.

He continues refining the form in the God of Destruction Realm. After challenging Rumsshi and barely surviving his destruction energy, Vegeta recommits to creating a transformation of his own rather than copying Goku’s Super Saiyan 5 124 132 135 147.

Tournament of Power

Vegeta enters the tournament after becoming a fully realized Evil Saiyan. Against Super Jiren, he unveils Majin Super Saiyan 5 and struggles to keep its power under control 167 178 180.

His Supreme Evil Gamma Burst Flash eliminates the remaining contestants from Universes 4 and 10, leading to those universes’ erasure. Super Jiren survives, knocks Vegeta unconscious, and sends him out of the arena. Vegeta receives a Senzu Bean in Universe 7’s stands 181.

Abduction and Dark Realm Corruption

After the tournament, Vegeta trains toward Ultimate Evil Sublimation while enduring a mysterious voice offering him greater power. He eventually draws out its source, Evil God Litz, but loses their confrontation and is abducted despite rejecting her offer 225 231.

The Great Evil God exposes the cross-time soul fusion behind Goku’s strength while intensifying Vegeta’s demonic nature. He then supplies resources and merges Vegeta with an alternate self. Vegeta returns to his world two and a half years after disappearing and attacks Gohan and Piccolo while waiting for Goku 232 240 241 242.

Dark Super Saiyan 6 and Rebellion

Vegeta challenges Goku with Dark Super Saiyan 6, claiming that fusion has finally removed the difference between them. Their battle damages and destroys countless space-times. Goku responds by unleashing his full strength and defeating him 242 244 245.

Ashamed of the destruction, Vegeta feigns surrender, strikes Goku from behind, and leaves to destroy the Dark Realm alone rather than obey the Great Evil God’s demand to kill him. Goku, who only pretended to be unconscious, follows 245.

At the Great Evil God’s palace, Vegeta rejects the claim that he was “created” by his benefactor and declares his intention to destroy the realm and its evil gods, even at the cost of his life. Goku takes Zatton and Katz aside, leaving Vegeta to confront the Great Evil God. The documented confrontation ends with Vegeta charging again after an ineffective Final Flash 246.

Alternate Versions

• After the future-world crisis, Super-Space-Time Vegeta scolds Trunks for failing to distinguish Goku from an impostor and tells him to protect his own world before returning to his original space-time 96.
