One of my favorite scenes. He's finally reached the level he always dreamed of reaching...and it wasn't enough. He doesn't know how to process that failure. Lots of self-doubt. But in typical Vegeta fashion he finds a way to use that as motivation and push further ahead. Tried to keep the video under 10 mins, but I agree that's an amazing scene I should have spent some time on.

It should be nothing big when comparing characters because vegeta went from evil to good, any character doing that has potential for great character development. I really dont like how people treat character development as though its a big factor when determining whos a better character, especially when comparing a character that turned evil to good vs a character that was already close to perfect from the get go. Its like saying we should appreciate reformed seriall killers, that killed 100s of people because they had a traumatizing upbringing, more than people that were born good and stayed that way for all their life..

Those were only available on VHS and DVD every two weeks in the US and I bought ALL OF THEM. That sequence was absolutely greater than the Vegeta SSJ reveal. It was the excitement of an energized Vegeta, a VENGEFUL Vegeta, Vegeta actually speaking his emotions, the tournament getting REAL (not to downplay the beating Videl got and the crap animations of potentially cool fights Babidi set up). The animation quality got better, the music chimed in, and when Vegeta locks his wrist at the crowd you know that something epic is truly about to transpire. I have lots of favorite fights, or even sequences, from DBZ but that one absolutely had me glued to my screen more than any other

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! I am 54yrs old. I watched DBZ when it first came out, on TV, at 6am on a VHF station. Nobody remembers those days anymore. I made VHS copies for my children and the kids in my afterschool program to watch, cutting out the commercials. LOL I found myself falling in love with Vegeta the most. Your video essay is excellent in why this character is SO ICONIC and can never truly be replicated but will ALWAYS be copied. Why? Because Vegata is THE ULTIMATE BADASS ANIME ALPHA MALE WARRIOR who bleeds, sweats, curses, kills, has tantrums --- all while he does Evil AND Good. Viewers know that we shouldn't root for him or identify with him or like his ORNERY, BITCHY, WARPED PERSONAL CODE OF HONOR but most of us do just that. I have always loved him. I remember preteen boys talking about the Father Issues in DBZ. Piccolo was deemed THE MOST NURTURING and CARING. Vegeta was voted the most difficult to please and to show affection even if he did feel any emotion. Funny thing though, several kids said they still wouldn't mind having The Big V be their dad anyway. Can you blame them?

Vegeta always has villian like monologuing and dominate brutal fights that typically villians do in DBZ.

Honestly, Im ok with Vegeta not having a ton of change in super, he definitely does still change a little bit, but most of his growth is over with. He already redeemed himself and became a good person, so there isn't too much more to go off of. He does become a bit better of a father like when he went on that train ride in that amusement park with Trunks.

I really loved Vegeta's evolution along Z and he became one of my favorite characters in anime (even though Toriyama admitted he never liked him, he's still very well written and it feels natural). But I felt like he regressed on Super, as said in the video he was not written nearly as well in this show (but as lots of other things that weren't either ...). He's supposed to have made his peace with his past at the end of Z, even calling Goku his "best friend" and acknowledging him as the strongest, but in Super he's still kind of an a*hole and seems to have gone back on his words.

He has grown fond of those around him and it makes sense he would share his knowledge now that hes less selfish, and he dislikes weakness so making others stronger instead of hating on them feels like another form of growth.

good video. very well thought out analysis

Well done ❤ can tell this was made with alot of care worthy for such a great dynamic legendary character

One day Akira Toriama will realize Vegeta is the main character and do him justice.

Is this some sick joke? I agree vegeta gets done dirty that's true but dude is dead let him rest in peace he created the best piece of all anime not even Naruto or one piece is as good as dragon ball if you disagree we can debate that too.

@@gregkareem9824 i think naruto and dbz have better fights and naruto and one piece have a more developed world/history that goes beyond the main cast. What i really like in the 3 is how each one of them was able to make their anti hero different: Vegeta is the most charismatic, the eternal rival who devoted his life to surpass the protagonist, even so he was never able to truly do that, his charismatic persona was enough to carry the whole show making impossible to imagine dragon ball without vegeta. sasuke is the better used, after realizing he would not be able to keep it up with the protagonist, he simply left him to start his own personal arc and had his own personal story (itachi, orchimaru etc) where only in end of the series he would reunite with naruto again when he needed the most but this time not as a weaker rival but as the only one who could help him shoulder to shoulder. zoro is the one who accepted he would never surpass luffy and never tried to do so only acting as his right hand man who would always have his back when needed, which elevated luffy character as the king because he was able to lead an uncontrollable man that could pretty much have his own crew and still be at the top.

Vegeta groveling to Beerus on their first shown meeting is the pinnacle of his moral shift over the series from everything I've watched (full disclosure, have not kept up with Super minus the sorta overlapping Z/Super Battle of Gods/Resurrection F movies). He wasn't scared to die. He made that quite clear right before and after Beerus slapped tf out of Bulma - he was fine with dying before that slap. Not wanting to die, but he was entirely accepting of it. He didn't charge Beerus because he suddenly thought he could win, it was just pure Saiyan rage fueling him enough to at least catch Beerus off guard if not actually hurt him. A very, very far cry from the bloodthirsty former prince who murdered a coworker for subpar performance on the job. Seeing him dance like a buffoon to appease Beerus hurts to watch at first until you realize - he isn't scared for himself. He's scared for the people he cares about, even if they are a bunch of genetically inferior monkeys who don't even have tails.

Despite it being non-canon now, I was always most fond of GT Vegeta. He has mellowed right out while still retaining what makes him, him.

The first time I played skyrim almost 13 years ago. The most fitting quote for this video is: "What is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" This is the embodiment of Vegeta. Pure, unadulterated badass. A man who showed that even without help, without amazing talent or resources, you can achieve your goals through hard work, determination, dedication, discipline, and order. Sheer effort of Vegeta to battle not only his enemies but himself as well. Try to copy his rival, but in the end, he realises that he needs to take his own path and develop his own style. He can be better, just when he overcomes himself and works hard to be better 1% every day. Vegeat story and Vegeta character is the true hero of Dragon Ball. Even if the show is around Goku, Vegeta stolen the show completely. Character development is unmatchable for any character in the franchise. Character message twoard public is motivational and something to live by. And he is compleat badass while doing it. Hopefully, if one day I have a family of my own and a son with that. I will try to show him great examples in real life like Cristiano Ronaldo or Kobe Bryant, but also their fictional counterpart of Vegeta. Role modles that show hard work and discipline will pay off more than just pure, unattended talent.

Lets be honest: not only did Vegeta change Anime Forever, but Dragon Ball (as a whole) changed shōnen Anime forever. Dragonball created countless shōnen archetypes that still exist today.

Yeah, for sure. DBZ often gets that credit though. Vegeta, imo, less so.

I like Vegeta in DBZ because his story was really good now he just keeps redoing the same thing in a lackluster way. And Vegeta loses every fight he gets in with new power that supposed to be like a end all be all power he sucks in super. In majority of his fights you're not going to tell me he Doesn't suck in Super. Vegeta loses fights for no reason.

Great video, gj bro. 🙂

Vegeta is the inner feeling of akira toriyama... Everyone called him sensei and his works are popular around the globe... But he still felt that other particular creators/writers are better than him (the second best), so he has to work harder yet he thought he didn't because he felt comfortable on being famous and make him full of pride which is the opposite of humility culture of Japan (prince of saiyans)... Vegeta is a character that Akira created to humble himself and keep improving...

I like how Goku went from careless kid to ultimate fatherlike protector of the universe, while avoiding every time stereotypical glorification, like when Toriyama makes him loose against Jacky choon just because everyone expected him to win... Vegeta is my all time favorite vilain, ruthless, cruel and ultra powerfull near immortal, killing civilians, the ultimate bastard... And his redemption ark still perfectly works while never denying his personality, that's insane.🤯
