Vegeta

Background

Vegeta is the prince of the once thriving warrior race, the Saiyans. Initially starting off as an antagonist, the more time he spent with the Earthlings, the more he began to sway to their side. Now, for the sake of his pride, he wishes to retake his place as the strongest Saiyan above Goku, which he trains rigorously for.

Though on both occasions he was wished back to life by the dragon balls)

Alignment: Initially Neutral Evil (Vegeta initially was a cruel saiyan warrior that would go across planets and kill their inhabitants, treating all those weaker then him as inferior creatures he could toy with. Such as when he killed Nappa after he was defeated by Son Goku. Even in the Frieza Saga, he killed an entire Namekian Village merely because they would not give him their dragon ball), Chaotic Neutral in Android and Cell Saga (During the events of the Android and Cell saga Vegeta's goals aligned with the Z-Fighters and thus he joined them in a temporary alliance where he fought against primarily the androids and Cell, showing somewhat more compassion when he saw his very son Trunks die from Cell and apologizing to Son Gohan when they were about to die), Chaotic Evil with Majin Awakening (The Majin Awakening corrupted Vegeta's mind by influencing the more evil side of him, killing various citizens and people in his way all to fight against Son Goku), Chaotic Good by the end of the Buu Saga (By the end of the Buu Saga Vegeta understood Goku truly and fully respected him, with Vegeta now being seen as a good guy)

Suppressed Perfect Cell should downscale from his Super Perfect Form's solar kamehameha, which was stated it was going to destroy the entire solar system) | Solar System level (Matched Super Saiyan 2 Goku, who was stronger than Super Saiyan 2 Gohan), Higher with Final Explosion (Completely destroyed Majin Buu, requiring him to regenerate his body back)

Standard Equipment

• Scouter: Only in the Saiyan Saga. A Scouter is a wearable, all-purpose computer that Frieza's army uses. Scouters are mainly used to measure power levels early in Dragon Ball Z.

• Senzu Beans: Senzu Beans are mystical beans with immense rejuvenation properties in the Dragon Ball franchise. Senzu beans are capable of healing holes in one body that misses their vital organs and possibly regrowing arms.

Optional Equipment

• Dragon Balls: Dragon Balls are the titular artifacts of the Dragon Ball series. They are large, crystalline spheres that feature five-pointed stars inside of themselves; individually, they have no powers, but united they have the ability to call forth their associated Eternal Dragon. Originally under Kami, Shenron could only grant one wish. However, under Dende, Shenron can grant three wishes, however since Dende is not powerful enough, Shenron can only fulfill two of the three wishes if a large number of people are revived using one of the wishes. Alternatively, Porunga can grant three wishes, however, Porunga could only bring one person back from the dead per wish as compared to Shenron who can revive an unspecified number per wish. Later, Porunga's power is strengthened by Moori to bring back as many lives as needed without any reduction in the remaining number of wishes.

• Attack Ball: Spaceships used for interstellar travel, Vegeta used it to land on Earth, and used it to escape after he was defeated on Earth.

• Dragon Radar: An invention of Bulma made to track down Dragon Balls. While Goku and other people can sense the Dragon Balls' energy in a general area, the Dragon Radar can pinpoint their exact location from across the entire planet. This let Goku and his friends track all the Dragon Balls within days rather than years, or hours with teleportation.

• Potara: Sacred earrings worn by Supreme Kais to symbolize their full elite status as grand overseers of their respective universe. While worn so casually, they have incredible properties. When a matching set is worn between two people on opposite ears, they will immediately be fused into new individual that represents the apex of both people's traits combined. While fusing with a Kai will result in a permanent fusion, any other union will only last for an hour.

Notable Techniques

* Galick Gun: Vegeta's signature technique. He was first shown utilizing the technique to clash with Goku's Kamehameha during their first battle on Earth. The Galick Gun is normally purple in color. Vegeta later goes on to develop a more powerful Galick Gun.

• Lucora Gun: One of Vegeta's more common attacks is his Full Power Energy Blast Volley, the Lucora Gun. It is performed by rapidly alternating blasts between both hands to fire a massive barrage of ki blasts. Despite its generic nature, the technique is utilized by Vegeta so much that upon Goku seeing Buu utilize it, he refers to it as being "Vegeta's technique".

• Power Ball: Vegeta creates a ball powered by Blutz Waves, to mimic a full moon. Allows Saiyans with tails to transform into Oozarus by looking at it.

• Big Bang Attack: A technique developed by Vegeta during the time when he became a Super Saiyan. By raising his hand up at a 90-degree angle, he produces a high-powered energy ball that is fired at the opponent.

• Final Flash: The Final Flash was a technique developed by Vegeta during his first training session in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, appearing to be an upgraded version of his old Final Crash attack. For his most serious fights, the Final Flash acted as Vegeta's ultimate technique, able to damage foes stronger than he was. When charged to the maximum, it can overwhelm, if not seriously harm, the strongest of foes.

• Final Impact: Also known as Atomic Flash, this attack is a large beam fired from Vegeta's index finger, middle finger, and thumb. It was first shown by Vegeta after he had been altered by Babidi's Manipulation Sorcery. Once fired, it unleashes a highly focused and speeding beam able to pierce through its target.

Great Ape: Like all Saiyans, Vegeta can transform into a Great Ape when absorbing enough blutz waves, usually from looking at a full moon, while still having his tail. Although Vegeta is able to make a mini moon so that he may transform whenever he pleases. His power and senses increase 10-fold and are able to generate powerful mouth blasts.

• Super Saiyan: Vegeta achieves this form in a rage of not being able to reach Son Goku and Trunks in power. In this form, Vegeta's muscle and height slight increase and his skin turns lighter. His eyes become noticeably sterner and more defined with green eyes. His hair becomes blond and stands with no loose strands. His power also generates a yellow aura. In the anime, when unleashing the full intensity of his power, Vegeta's aura also produces some slight electrical sparks.
  • Super Saiyan Second Grade: Realizing that the androids' power exceeds a Super Saiyan, Goku told Vegeta of a way to ascend past Super Saiyan, with Vegeta entering the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to surpass the basic Super Saiyan form. Ultimately, Vegeta unlocked this form after weeks of training.
  • Super Saiyan Third Grade: Along with Second Grade, Vegeta can achieve this form, however, while it is vastly stronger than Second Grade, the power output is too intense, causing Goku's muscles to become engorged from the struggle of maintaining this unsteady power boost. This instability drained his ki too fast to be of use for long. It also causes an extreme drop in his speed and agility, tiring him even more and reducing his effectiveness overall. Goku noted that while much stronger than Semi-Perfect Cell, it meant nothing if he could not actually hit his foe with it. This made this form impractical against foes of any real speed.
  • Mastered Super Saiyan: After realizing the weaknesses inherent to the higher Super Saiyan grades, Goku concluded that mastery over the basic Super Saiyan form would be more beneficial. Vegeta by extension trained himself to do this afterwards. Ultimately, he is able to enter, maintain, and fight in this form for as long as he desires at its full potential with no loss in efficiency or performance.

• Super Saiyan 2: Vegeta achieved this form at some time after Cell's defeat, most likely while training in the gravity chamber. In this form, Vegeta gains some changes; his hair becomes spikier, his forehead has only three bangs over it, making his hair more defined than his other previous Super Saiyan forms. His muscles also become more defined, and his aura also generates electricity surrounding his body, while the aura grows markedly larger and more vibrant.

• Majin's Awakening: Majin awakening is a mind control technique that works by locking on to any darkness or evil in the victim's heart. According to Supreme Kai, the only way to defend against it is to empty your mind. It has also been shown to draw out the user's power to their limits, as was shown with Spopovich who had previously been shown to be weaker than Mr. Satan. After his awakening, Spopovich had gained the ability to use various ki techniques, such as flight and ki blasts. According to Babidi, in the Japanese dub of the episode The Dark Prince Returns, this ability draws out the target's latent power. While this is a mind control technique, strong enough will power, as displayed by Vegeta, is sufficient to overcome the manipulation effect.

• Fusion Dance: A short series of poses that are performed by two characters of equal power levels and roughly equal size. To correctly perform the Fusion, the fuses must strike the poses in a perfectly symmetrical image of one another. The result of a correctly performed Fusion Dance is a superior being whose power is multiplied several-fold over that of the individual fuses.

Other

Standard Tactics: Vegeta's form of fighting is hand to hand combat along with shooting flurries of ki blast at his opponent. Due to Vegeta's arrogance and pride however, he will normally prolong a battle resulting in unsavory results for him, along with this he has many times let his opponent transform to try and prove a point that he is stronger then them.

Weaknesses: Very arrogant and prone to losing his temper, although this has lessened over time.
