Same as the Goku thread, this is all appreciation for Vegeta. No hate, just love on the character and talk about some of his awesome moments. He has a lot of great quotes throughout the series and I think the original FUNimation dubbing has given him some great ones as well. Vegeta was probably my favorite during the Frieza Arc. ![]() He really made a great come in as an entire hero and had some of the best fights in that arc. Vegeta vs Zarbon was phenomenal and both of his death scenes had a lot of emotion, especially his first one. He also brings in awesome inspiration for Goku when he's fighting Frieza. Easily one of my favorite moments in Z. A lot of rivals for Goku came and went through DB and DBZ, but none of them measured up quite as well as Vegeta did. |

Oh yes, that first death made me cry, at least in the Funimation dub. I think DB made me cry 2-3 times, but DBZ probably hadn't yet. Definitely, it was the saddest scene in Z so far, for me. In Japanese it's not as sad, although I haven't seen it in full context yet (I'm getting to it soon, at Ginyu at the moment). I think his best moments are when he stalled Kid Buu for Goku - which wasn't just a case of him putting the world's safety above his pride, but actually letting go of his toxic pride, since he even admitted how great Goku is - and also his resolution to bring back Universe 6 after making a promise to Cabba. That promise to Cabba was the kind of thing Goku would have done in Z or DB and for me showed that Vegeta had taken the mantle as the most heroic saiyan, even going ahead of Goku. Where Goku is mostly fighting for selfish reasons, Vegeta is doing it for someone else and that's what made it so disappointing that Goku ended up being the strongest, since earlier in the manga it was made out like the reason Goku is stronger than Vegeta is because he fights for others. Going back to his early days, Vegeta really was brave on Namek. Yes, in some ways he could look like a coward, since he had no mercy for those weaker than him and would try to avoid fighting those stronger than him, but on the other hand, despite knowing that he had zero chance of defeating Freeza, he tried to steal the Dragon Balls from him. It would have been easy to continue working for Freeza while hating him (just like most people in the real world continue working jobs they hate), but instead he took a risk. You could say that really, he was a true narcissist - and that drove him to take these risks that for most people would be extremely difficult, but for him came naturally, because of his huge pride and deep-seated belief that he was destined for greatness. He was a d***, but had a drive and cunning that was truly remarkable. Vegeta for a lot of people is more inspirational than Goku, because he's the outsider in the story. By the time we role around to Z, Goku is the hero who every character loves, but Vegeta is an outsider who really only Goku and then Bulma are fond of. Unlike Goku, he also has a lot of pride, which means that failure or being ostracised is also more painful for him. If Goku takes a risk and messes up, he'll just laugh it off because it doesn't bother him. For Vegeta to take the same risk is much more difficult, because it will bruise his ego much more if he fails. Most people in the real world are not like Goku - they have an ego that can be hurt and they can find their self-esteem lowered, but if we want to succeed in life, we have to step outside our comfort zone and take risks - and that's what Vegeta does. |

The thing I appreciate most about him is the fact that he produced Trunks. Good stuff. |

My favourite Vegeta moments can't be mentioned in this thread, because they involve him getting hurt. |
