This video made me think. Imagine if Vegeta did train Trunks directly during the 7 year time skip, lets say Trunks wasn't able to provide a real good spar till year 5 or 6 of the time skip, with that hybrid potential I don't see why he wouldn't be able to turn super saiyan 2 and be stronger than Cell games Gohan. Especially sparing under heavy Gravity such as 150 times unlike the 10 times of the time chamber, sparing with trunks during the final year before the buu saga I imagine vegeta would be much stronger. Trunks could even improve Vegetas training by sparing with Trunks in base while Trunks uses Super Saiyan while he's catching up to his farther. A missed opportunity to grow stronger like Goku and Gohan did with less than 1 year in the time chamber. It could make for a good what if Video.

To be fair, he didn't really have a role model to follow. His father was the same way with him as he was with Trunks. Plus he actually grew up in Saiyan culture which is most definitely different from human culture. He came around, it just took some emotional growth to do it.

I would argue it's even worse. Vegeta was like, 5 when his homeworld was destroyed. He hardly grew up in Saiyan culture (which is shown to still have somewhat friendly people, at least). Instead, he grew up under the tutelage of veterans among a millitary force full of treacherous back stabbers, ready to do anything to climb up the ranks and win Frieza's favors. That he managed to turn around on that is honestly impressive.

no joke, best development in all media as far as i have seen, i am currently rewatching Namek saga,and Vegeta from then to being Bullas Butler basically is beyond Wild,

Another example of how caring he is about Bulla... Is when Hercule accidentally makes Bulla cry. The moment that happens, Vegeta goes Blue immediately, willing to beat the everyliving hell out of Hercule for it

To be fair to Vegeta, after the Freeza saga was the first time he knew peace. His life up to that point was pretty much nothing but violence death and destruction jumping from bettlefield to battlefield. That he was able to settle down at all is a huge improvement.

I disagree. Vegeta was the best father he could be. He came from a race that abandoned their kids most of the time. He learned to be an amazing Dad

I think you're right. Being the prince of a warlike race, he only knew conflict. He trained trunks because it was what would've been expected of him as a father and as royalty even moreso. But when Bulla was born, he had lived a "human" life even longer. He had even known some peaceful years at this point and Goku was alive, so he had his drive to train himself. But his daughter didn't need to train, so he took what he learned from his lack of being a father to trunks and just let her live like an earthling. So all those factors together are why I think he was different with her

Vegeta grew up with piss poor parentage himself, that's not necessarily an excuse, but it is a template for where his bad habits amd actions stem from. I really gotta give credit to Bulma. I know we can all make jokes about her putting it down on Vegeta, but really to her credit, she was patient with him (or equally as stubborn in other cases) and between her and her own parents, they took up the slack for where Vegeta didn't measure up. So props to the Briefs for having just the right blend of dysfunction and also tenacity, to win the Saiyan Prince over to being a better man 😊

Most of the male characters in the show had either non-existent, awkward, or poor barometers for fatherhood. Grandpa Gohan lived a reclusive lifestyle with Goku, so all Goku knew was to live off the land and train to fight; getting trampled by Oozaru Goku didn't help things either since he was killed. I have to imagine Yamcha's prior life as a bandit stemmed from a rough upbringing. Tien trained to be an assassin most of his life. Piccolo was the spawn of pure evil (but he turned around relatively quick). About the only one of them them that had any measure for family was probably Krillin; the monks he lived with probably had a familial way about them.

I think this is more how Vegeta was raised. No evidence that his own father treated him like anything other than a 'You are destined to be a Super Saiyan'. When you see child Vegeta train, he's on his own killing Saibamen, not with his Dad. He simply legitimately didn't understand how to be a parent.

He's learning and improving. Considering his past and all the role models he's had in life, sure he starts off bad. However, he's moving toward bettering himself. As he does so, he becomes less and less of a Prince and more of a King.

I'll never forget watching 'Vegeta's Respect' for the first time and Vegeta said "At first I thought it was your loved ones. That it was your instinct to protect you that spurred you on! But then I found myself with a family of my own and my power didn't increase at all..." Bro literally said, "Kakarot surpassed me (AGAIN) but now he's dead...even his half breed son surpassed me...I gotta get my s&*t together; let me wife up this earth woman and look after our kid because maybe that'll get me the boost I need to be in the number one spot..."

"Vegeta only only hugged Trunks once in 8y" Reminder that Goku never kissed his wife in more than 20y of marriage. These Saiyans are menaces 😂

Vegeta gave extreme hell training to future trunks in spirit of time chamber, i didnt realize it unitil i rewatch again 😂

Vegeta was born and raised to be a commander, a general and a conqueror. A political and military figure, not a family caring one (even though a supreme commander of a planet is a father figure to almost everyone). The culture, mindset, education, destiny to fulfil (at least the belief) of Vegeta is completely different from everybody, specially Goku, who's not a TOP dad but is very far from a bad one. And I feel like it took less time to Vegeta "wake up" than it could be. The scene where he calls Trunks to give him a hug made me cry when I was 10 years old and it still does it to this day (22 years after that, damn!). I don't know, seeing Trunks asking what his dad was doing, smiling and saying that "that was weird", absolutely confused cemented into me brain that a bad father figure can change and move on to a good figure with a single and genuine gesture of true love and sacrifice. (Ain't it what's about being a good dad? Sacrifice.)

I think Vageta saw how Kid Trunks was turning out compared to Future Trunks and recognized his death and absence was good for the boy

It's important to note that saiyan kids are quite independent and capable of taking care of themselves, unlike human kids they need little supervision explaining he didn't pay much attention to Trunks, who loved to be with his father but didn't seek his attention all time. With Bulla character development aside, it's very likely that Vegeta saw her like a mini Bulma and thus as a delicate human that needed more care.

I have to wonder how Akira Toriyama would have written the story if it t was Bulla who was born first. Im sure it would have been very similar, but I’d like to think he would have admired his daughters strength, given she would have fought for years in a ruined future.

Can you really see Vegeta smiling and acting happy, enjoying a amusement park?

Vegeta's always had that vibe of a grumpy dad that only gets one (1) twenty-minute power-nap each year, but gets woke up early from it by his arsehole neighbor's noise. Every. Damn. Time.

well tbh he is a saiyan and the prince aswell, sayains don't really care for their family, for example when Raditz was abt to kill goku, or vegeta not caring at all about the whereabouts of his younger brother- its just a sayain thing but vegeta did really become more of an earthling and changed some areas of his perspective towards family.

Great video Vegeta going all out against Cell for killing Trunks, was the beginning of Vegeta becoming a true dad

By how the saiyans were born- they stayed in incubators for 2-3 years. So he did not know how to treat him. Also he was sent off world, and planet vegeta was destroyed- So he did not have much to go on with raising him. With bulla he decided to take the earthling route instead of the saiyan one. the closest he had after planet vegetas destruction was nappa- but wasnt much to go on due to how he treated others aside from himself. Also vegeta treated trunks similar to how his father treated him- once he showed more promise was treated better. A prince may deal with the harshness of the world, and a princess maybe shielded from it. his pride maybe his downfall...also he never refered to himself as the new king of the saiyans- always called himself prince...even after knowing his dad was no more.

Something something piccolo. His only real competition for worst dad was goku, and we all know once he started actually being a dad he easily surpassed him. But I think best dad in dbz is likely krillin. Or piccolo if you want to count him and how he treats Gohan and his family.

A topic I would love to see you cover would be the amazing potential for a story made out of bulma's parents passing away from old age and Bone having to come to grips with that that especially in a world with the Dragon balls that are easy to find at this point, like that could make a seriously good narrative good narrative, I also really want to see vegeta as a grandpa to Future trunks's kid because of that classic thing of grandparents treating the grandchildren much better than their own children and given Future trunks time with his father that comparison will be absolutely hilarious

Because bula is his princess

Kids are the the sums of both parents combined. Future Trunks cared a lot for his father despite knowing how cold, prideful and evil he could be. Present Trunks was very brash and arrogant because of his potential. Bulla was spoiled because of her (mother’s)family’s fortune. Vegeta was brash, arrogant, and spoiled because of how his father treated him. Despite working for Frieza for decades, he never was really humbled until he met Goku. The king instilled the belief that no saiyan could compete with him, only he would have the potential to become a super saiyan, and he could rule the universe some day. Lies of course, but that was his way of protecting his lineage. Sending Broly away was a mistake. He should’ve been apart of Vegeta’s squad to push him and protect him, but that’s another discussion for another time. All of Vegeta’s kids have a fair amount of bits of him and it’s not just enormous potential. They all remind him of how he was when he was younger. In order to keep them from suffering how he did, he treats them better despite not having the same interests.

Because shes the golden child

SCHOLAR we need a video on vegeta krillin and gohan friendship and them being war brothers‼️⚡️

The legacy of goku gameboy game music is soooooo nostalgic ugh

Honestly I didn’t know that it took that long for vegeta to take him to the park. I played a DBZ game about the buu saga on my gameboy as a kid, and in it begets took trunks to a park right after. It wasn’t an amusement park, it was just a regular park, but he still did it.

Vegeta is a great example of how economics plays into criminality. Like he's lucky he married the richest woman in the world. If he wanted to be a good person on Earth and still live in comfort, what were his options? He could play baseball, or he could protect Mr. Satan. Either of those options would make it really easy to accidentally kill a whole bunch of people out of anger.

He is like Homer Simpson

To be fair trunks was his first kid its a learning curve and he came from a upbringing that literaly send kids to planets to take them over vegeta reminds me of a tough dad that stil loves his kids

In my opinion it was The Goku black arc (anime) that best represented Vegeta of how much he cared for his son

That superness soundtrack

i also think it maybe had to do with Vegetas upbrining.. he was the oldest son of King Vegeta before their planet was destroyed maybe the Prince didnt know any other way to be with a son though there were moments in the movie about broly where it showed king vageta cared about his son he also had to be stern with him because they were warriors for freeza king vageeta didnt want to send the young prince to fight for freeza but felt he didnt have any choice to agree at that moment promting him to try and overthrow freeza but was killed .. losing his father at such a young age may have prevented him from being able to develop a father/son bond because he wasnt emotionally mature enough for a long time

Vegeta was always the mirror of Goku as a father! He wasn’t used to being a dad early on because he was trying to get stronger for his family and challenge Goku to point of pride, protection, control / being better! *When PEACE PREVAILED & he realized BULMA was capable as a mother to keep Trunks on path of studies, he showed he was passing on a legacy*

bulla is just on her way to become bulma 2 ngl. she's the cute daughter of a rich genius now can we talk about picollo vision between seeing pan as gumdrops and rainbows and seeing gohan as disappointment made flesh? gohan with his full potential crushes picollo but he still doesn't catch a break

Some people: "?? is a better father than ??." ??: *almost kills his wife and own child*

He is just an old school father, I'm here that's good enough

“But goku is a terrible father tho”

I have been watching GT again not once typed in anything about DB into youtube but ofc the intrusive algorithm found me. I don't care what anyone says Vegeta became a great brother to Goku, Cousin to the Z crew, and Father all together. My favorite scene in GT is when Vegeta is dragging Trunks and Goten on to the ship with their little Dad. Also the disappointment when Baby Goten popped up and pretended to be their and help right after this scene in the thumbnail.

I wish my dad was vegeta, he is peak father

Plot twist bulma and krillin die, leaving 18 and vegita to have broly

Vegeta definitely loves future trunks, the entire Goku black arc proves that. He was willing to sacrifice his own life and didn’t want future trunks to fight. There is an episode where he is telling his son to take Mai and leave while he and Goku took on black. There is even a seen where he came between a blast meant for future trunks. he was very upset and angry when he found out Goku blackhead killed future Bulma. Dragon Ball super was a huge improvement from Dragon Ball Z when it came to Vegeta and future trunks’s relationship. Yes he could have been a better father to kid trunks during the seven year gap, but I do think that he did train him. He would have had to show trunks the basics, it is probably the only thing a SAIYAN father did with his son.

he might not be the best father but because he was willing to change he is a better father then many people have

Vegeta Mega spoiled Bulla unlike trunks, she is more spoiled than Bulma ever was, even Beerus became fond of her, to be real, SDBH is probably the only place where Bulla will get animated content, still waiting for SDBH to give Pan and Bulla super saiyan

It ain’t that deep. Vegeta is simply a perfect reflection of a real and good dad. Harsh to sons, kind to daughters. He taught Trunks how to be a man, and that worked out perfectly.

@AlejandroRamirez-mn4ls

Ай бұрын

You should be loving to your sons as well

Vegeta was raised as a Sayian and had to learn to live and love like s human. We really don’t know how fatherhood was in Sayian culture

Vegeta says to trunks he hadn’t held him since he was a baby and we see a gag moment in cell saga where Bulma yells at him for sticking his face in front of Trunks and making him cry so clearly he made efforts to try and connect with him as a baby. Him being slow to lower his emotional defences and awkward with any positive expressions makes perfect sense. Considering he grew up with a race that sends their children off to conquer planets as babies and was torn away from his father at 5-6 years only to be enslaved by his sworn enemy and watching his entire race go extinct? He is practically a model parent by the time of super. lol

Make a video about Buuhan Beast. In theory Buuhan can access Gohans Rage. When be was about to destroy the fabric of the universe, his eyes were glowing red like Beast Gohan.

To be fair, Vegeta didn’t have a sudden case of death during Kid Trunks’s life. Gohan spent an entire year of his life training in “Life or Death” scenarios with Piccolo who was ironically only about 4 - 5 years older than Gohan. Being a distant parent isn’t exactly optimal but he was there. Though Bulla is the reason he actually becomes a more realistic parent. That change was made extremely apparent because Vegeta refused to join the TOP because Bulma was almost ready to have Bulla.

My baby boi

Trust me my dad was just like him, tough and though my dad did enroll me into boxing he had 6+ years of BJJ of experience and would whoop my ass over all a rough guy… and was just hard ass on me, never even called me by my name just nicknames he hugged me for the first time at 30 years old… and it was crazy it felt good I was actually happy

Vegeta is a great dad overall, I mean he comes from a warrior race.

Bro I needed to be wished back after the buu saga

Its like this only dads are always strict with boys, they to man up in life girls play it on rookie level and still cry 😂😂😂

You also gotta think about where he comes from They send their children to conquer other planets

Besides just getting better at parenting as time went on, he also has to contend with his sayian beliefs, that men are stronger than women, and therefore more suited to being warriors, meaning he views trunks as needing to be strong for the day he can't protect them anymore. Remember, he told trunks to take care of his mother for him before knocking him out, this is backed up by Vegeta himself. Bulla meanwhile is hopefully gonna be like her mom, giving trunks the support Vegeta wish he had sooner. She'd make him armor, and be there as a source of emotional stability. It's also why he clearly wants them to interact, by teaching trunks how to hold her for example. He's accepting he won't be here forever, and is trying to raise them to be ready for the responsibilities his blood entails, as sayians and as something better... Better than himself hopefully. Of course tho, it took a long time for him to fully accept this mindset. There's hints of it, clearly he knows he should have been training trunks sooner, that he needs to be more active, especially after missing him unlocking super Saiyan, but he still is at odds with himself. That's why he needs them to be better and insists trunks train separate from fusion, that he be strong on his own, a reasoning he wasn't allowed to participate in the universe 6 vs 7 tournament... Besides bulma of course.

I would say its because the way Vegeta saw future Trunks and how strong he mature he was but his while strong plays around to much like during the Buu sage when Goten saw his mother died he wanted to go all out from the beginning but Trunks talked him out of it just to make a show of it i mean what the heck man

he was a good father to Trunks when he chopped his neck and from then on

Bulla gonna save the world

Technically thats how dads act

I'm so over the fighting. I really enjoyed watching the slice of life episodes. Watching our heroes doing normal things is just funny.

PRINCESS TRUNKS

It’s because he wants Trunks to be better and doesn’t know how to show compassion and Bulla gets treated better because he has a second chance and because it’s his lil princess

The simple answer is bulla/bra is a girl and trunks is a boy and since trunks was the first chick he went through vegeta la character development while bulla/bra was born after vegeta had already changed and I honestly respect somebody who changed for their loved ones just as much as someone who was already good for their loved ones vegeta never knew love he didn’t have a mom he never met her his dad never showed him no dad love he never dated anyone cuz his race was dead he never experienced any type of love and him changing trying to be a good husband and be a good dad something he never had I respect it so much another reason why vegeta is my favorite character

I mean, I'd give him props for how far he's come, especially in a relatively short period compared to his whole story. Goku was already pretty adjusted, being raised by humans, having a more peaceful upbringing and early life compared to Vegeta, who was raised in Sayin culture and the kind of role model his own father was.

Trunks is the male, he needs to be strong in order to grow up into "Future Trunks". The male needs to be strong to carry out Vegeta's lineage. Why would Vegeta want a weak son? But, one thing you need to notice is Vegeta's look when he actually hit Trunks in the chamber. That wasn't a look of satisfaction, it was a look of concern. So is Vegeta father of the year? No. Is Vegeta a good father as the Prince of all Saiyans? Yes.

Vegeta is my second favourite character after Piccolo
