"Indeed, I am arrogant. But, to me, that's precisely what my pride as a Saiyan is! I'll never beat you? Don't make me laugh! I'll never throw away who I am!" ― Vegeta, to Jiren
Vegeta or known as Vegeta IV is the current deuteragonist of the Dragon Ball series, starting out as the main villain of the Vegeta Arc in the Saiyan Saga in Dragon Ball Z, he was the prince of the Saiyan race before most of them were wiped out by Frieza.
Background[]
Born as the prince of the Saiyans, a warrior race who conquered and were seen as the warriors of the universe, Vegeta was already a prodigy as a child with his father being the King of the Saiyans, proclaiming that Vegeta's battle potential was high. Although born into the time where the Saiyans were annexed by the Frieza Force, Vegeta still kept his pride as the prince even after Frieza, who heard of the Super Saiyan legend fearing being overthrown destroyed Planet Vegeta, the home world of the Saiyans. One of the only Saiyans left alive, Vegeta worked under Frieza alongside his fellow kind such as Nappa and Raditz. After Raditz' death on Earth, he and Nappa were sent there to finish his job, only to meet Goku which would spark a rivalry which over the course of years change Vegeta's character and morals, still keeping his pride along the way though.

Minor Feats[]
Attack Potency/Strength[]
- Said he was going to destroy the Earth in the Saiyan Saga with his Galick Gun.
- Superior to Piccolo in the early Saiyan Saga who destroyed the moon.
- A super elite warrior superior to Nappa who destroyed a large city, the explosion being visible from space.
- A super elite warrior superior to Raditz who lifted a truck.
- Warned Android 18 that himself going full power with his Super Saiyan form alone would annihilate the planet.
- Comparable to Goku during the Buu saga who could move with 10 tons of weights on his body and 50 tons with Super Saiyan.
- His SSJBE form was superior to Ultra Instinct Omen Goku's first appearance who shook the World of Void, a dimension infinite in size.
- In his SSJBE form defeated God of Destruction Toppo who warped the World of Void, and also defeated the GoD Candidate who was said to be no different from any God of Destruction, Gods of Destruction being able to easily destroy the universe and is said if two of them fight both of their universes would be destroyed.
Speed/Reactions[]
- Can fly at hypersonic speeds.
- Superior to early Saiyan Saga Piccolo who destroyed the moon in under a second.
- Dodged some of Frieza's Death Beams which are described as light, albeit don't show the properties of it.
- Moved faster than Ginyu's Switch ability which moves as a flash of light.
- His base form in Super is superior to SSJ3 Gotenks, who in his SSJ form zipped around the Earth several times over.
- Comparable to Beerus' casual flight speed by the Golden Frieza Saga which is comparable to Whis' casual flight speed.
Durability/Endurance[]
- Survived a x4 Kaioken Kamehameha which ovepowered his planet busting Galick Gun.
- Survived a Spirit Bomb.
- Unfazed by the point blank explosion of Nappa's previously mentioned feat.
- Was still alive after a brutal torture session from Frieza.
- Could still hold off Kid Buu despite the power difference and the beating he was getting from the majin.
- Managed to survive his own Final Explosion against GoD Toppo.
Skill/Intelligence[]
- Incredibly skilled warrior who Goku even stated was a cut above the rest of the invading Saiyans due to his power and technique.
- Constantly manages to match Goku's skill and power, everytime Goku surpasses Vegeta the prince is right back to catch up to Goku.
- Overcame his weakness of being too uptight in a fight and focused which hinders his reactions, becoming more relaxed and easier to move in his fights.
Powerscaling[]
Vegeta is seen currently as one of the strongest warriors of Universe 7 and even in the multiverse. His first appearance had him be the strongest Saiyan around far surpassing Goku who without the Kaioken had little to no hope of defeating Vegeta. Vegeta is the 2nd strongest Z-Fighter currently and matches Goku in power and is only surpassed most of the time due to Goku's natural nature as a master martial artist prodigy. By the time of the Buu Saga he should be stronger than SSJ2 Teen Gohan, able to fight against SSJ2 Goku in his own SSJ2 form stating that Goku has surpassed his son's previous power. Attaining god forms gives him powers capable of universal destruction such as seen with SSJG. While GoD Toppo was seen as an amateur God of Destruction with only training on his side, he was still stated to be no different from a God of Destruction who are shown as a group alone to have massive power.
Weaknesses[]
- Prideful, arrogant, and a temper.
- As a Saiyan he looks for even and exciting fights, saying himself that Saiyans are a warrior race who won't use underhanded tactics in a fight.
