      Now in the Super era it is. The Gospel of Dragon Ball according Toyotaro and the Gospel of Dragon Ball according Toriyama as both are canon. Manga and Anime are both following their own canonical laws and history. Z is the Old testament and GT is like the book of Enoch and original Dragon Ball is like Genesis. The Dragon Bible.

    What I really appreciate is that when Toppo abandoned his justice it kind of paralleled Majin Vegeta. And Toppo may as well have been telling Vegeta that he’d have to abandon himself to defeat him, and Vegeta really looked at himself and knew he couldn’t abandon himself again.
    He said he doesn’t abandon nothing and gains more power which is definitely a major contradiction to his motivation in the Majin saga.
    The character development tho!!!

      I loved the meaning behind their fight, so much that Jiren sided with Vegeta over the matter. Vegeta's finest moment yet!
      However, whereas Vegeta's selfishness was why he allowed Badidi to turn him into Majin Vegeta, Toppo went G.O.D. because his universe was on the line, thus Toppo going G.O.D. also made him similar to Gohan when the latter unlocked SSJ2. It's to the point that Gohan vs. Toppo should've continued their battle despite the former struggling against the latter compared to Goku and Vegeta holding their own against the Pride Trooper leader.
      Still, I loved Vegeta vs. Toppo and I'm glad that it was the former who took out the latter by using Final Explosion successfully.

    • @Jiron127
      @Jiron127 5 років тому +32

      Vegeta abandoned nothing as majin. He was always about his pride and wanted to beat goku fair and scare. No great ape. Vegeta was holding himself back for years because he never fought for love/desperation. But survival. Or his own selfish reasons. That's why piccolo said vegeta would lose his body upon dying.
      There was a small clip right b4 vegeta cheap shotted goku. Of vegeta saying "he abandoned everything and had no loyalty etc". Goku called him out on it and said it was bs. Hence why goku said " Liar!! Talk all you want vegeta, but you'd have to convince yourself of it first". The whole majin thing w/vegeta was vegeta being exactly as he was prior to settling on earth. Vegeta killed people at the tourney, knowing they could be wished back. He wanted to beat buu and be the savior. Not goku.
      To your point, toppo did strike a cord in vegeta's heart. But for slightly different reasons. Toppo gained power and gave up everything for survival. Vegeta is the opposite. He never gave up his pride or roots as a saiyan warrior. No matter how strong he got. This fact is exacerbated because he saw earth and his family as driving points to survive.
      Ultimately the whole majin spell was a blessing in disguise: Babadi's magic did actually unlock vegeta's potential.

At least until Gohan is fully ready accept the throne left to him.

    I think another reason that Vegeta allowed Bobbidy to put him under the spell, was because he (and Goku) didn't think that Buu would really be much of a threat. They didn't take the fight seriously anymore, especially after easily defeating the henchmen, who were also supposed to be too much for them.

    When you really think about it, it’s wild how much influence Vegeta’s decisions have in the way events play out. As well as the results, i.e. Letting Cell absorb 18, which in turn got his son (even though he got brought back) and Goku killed, letting himself fall under Babidi’s magic, resulting in the destruction of numerous planets and lives taken by all incarnations of Buu.

    WILD THEORY:
    It’s been a long time since I’ve watched this arc or read it in the manga, but I remember thinking about it a lot back in the day cause it was/is still one of my favorite Vegeta story arcs. It always bugged me though how the fight was undercut by Goku holding back the way he did, and despite the entire fight seeming even, there wasn’t as really much suspense as it seemed. So I came up with a super head canon theory to explain this, and imo make it a much more enjoyable watch/read. Disclaimer, Vegeta is my favorite character and as a Vegetard I’m gonna be severely over hyping him with this, but bear with me.
    The theory goes like this: when Goku unlocked SSJ3, we saw in his eye his body devolve from great ape down to an infant right before he finished the transformation. This isn’t really ever explained (to my knowledge), but the way I interpreted that was meaning that part of unlocking SSJ3 meant acceptance of ones self and true nature, accepting your past, etc. basically having a clear mind and sense of purpose, and self assuredness. Skip to the Vegeta/Goku dialog before/during the fight. Vegeta says on multiple occasions how his past losses and loss of pride have affected him, his confidence, and self worth. He idolizes the old him, the “perfect warrior” who was heartless and cold before he ever encountered Goku or the rest of the Z fighters. Since then, Vegeta has never been self assured. He’s struggled with who he was, and after meeting people that changed him, who he wants to be. These mental barriers IMO are the reason he could never reach SSJ3, because unlike Goku, he was to conflicted to accept who he really was. At least at this point in the series.
    That changed when he became Majin Vegeta. Looking at the fight, they’re very clearly holding back and toying with each other. Flaunting skill over power, and slowly working their way up in intensity because it’s obvious they genuinely enjoy what they’re doing. For different reasons, but to the same effect: they’re having fun. And they’re doing what they’ve done countless times before, which is ignore the stakes for the sake of the best fight they can get. This leads both of them to the strategy of playing it slow and gradually increasing/matching each other in power while they dance and try and find openings in each other’s fighting style. This is where the crux of the theory comes in. We as an audience know Goku is holding back, Goku does, but Vegeta doesn’t. If they were allowed to keep going, I think Goku would eventually have to go SSJ3 to beat Vegeta after a long and grueling battle, finally trying to break the tie in their strength and gain a meaningful advantage. At this point, I think Vegeta would have a bit of a breakdown, but ultimately be able to match him and go SSJ3.
    He would see for the first time all fight, and for the first time in years, Goku going all out. Which is what he wanted more than anything, to beat Goku at his best. When he sees this, it would inspire him to push himself and remember why he went to such lengths to get the opportunity he has. The same way he unlocked base SSJ from self hatred and frustration. He’d be seeing his chance for closure slipping away, and fall into that same impulsive rage mindset. Only, due to him throwing away his attachments to everyone and everything that isn’t his pride and power, he would have a clear mind and sense of purpose and hit SSJ3 in that moment. The same way Goku unlocked base SSJ to protect others, and Vegeta did it for himself. Opposite motives, same result. But both required a sense of purpose and self assuredness combined with emotion, which is only exaggerated more in SSJ3. And that fight would have given Vegeta both of those, replicating how he matched Goku’s transformation back in the Android arc.
    I don’t think even Vegeta realized this, since 1 he wasn’t pushed that far in the cut-short fight, and 2 by the time he freaks out about Goku holding back, he had already overcome his Majin phase. Which is exactly why he never did/never will achieve SSJ3. When Vegeta over came Babidi he switched back to being a decent person again, and being the opposite of what he spent most of his life being. By doing that, he gave up his self assured mindset (albeit for a better one overall) and in doing so, accepted that he was wrong for most of his life and is doing better now than in the past. And by accepting his past as wrong, he setup mental barriers that would never let him reach the level of self-righteousness needed to unlock SSJ3. He unknowingly missed his one and only chance to match Goku in that form, but still gave it up willingly because he realized that morals are more important to him than power. Which is echoed in his sacrifice, and his acknowledgment of Goku at the end of the Buu fight. He’d rather be a good person and second best (at least until Super) than an awful and empty person at the top of the ladder. Which is where his character development comes full circle from when we first met him.
    The real difference being, Goku spent his whole life acting right, and knowing he was right. Vegeta spent most of his life acting wrong but thinking he was right. When he realized that and changed for good, he grew as a person but changed too much to ever have the self assuredness of Goku, or the self assuredness needed to unlock SSJ3. He only had it for a short time when he was Majin and “reawakened the evil in his heart”, but ultimately recognized that Goku was right all along, not him, and chose to grow as a person, stopping him from growing in power.
    TL:DR - You need to be self-righteous to become SSJ3. Goku was, and in that fight Vegeta was too and probably could have unlocked it if it went long enough. But the fight was cut short and he ultimately chose to be a good person, unknowingly giving up his chance at unlocking SSJ3.

No other character in all of Dragon Ball has as great of a development as Vegeta, and that's why so many people love him. My favorite character is Gohan, but even his storyline falters compared to Vegeta. Also, I love the fact that he and Goku are a team now. After seeing such a bitter rivalry for pretty much all of DBZ, it's wonderful to see them fight together as friends. This is one of my favorite Geekdom videos. I'd love to hear you talk about Vegeta's resolution at the end of DBZ.

At that point, like you said, he got overwhelmed with grief and sacrificed himself to atone for his own mistakes.

Being the English dub, I find the scene where he's talking to Piccolo and then Trunks and Goten (before knocking them out) to be spooky with the music that plays throughout that scene. Eerie, ominous, and you just knew Vegeta was thinking of something drastic (and at the time, seemingly permanent)! And definitely, the fight between Goku and Majin Vegeta was awesome, especially towards the end with that amazing animation and fight choreography! In the last episode of their fighting :)

    I love majin Vegeta because it’s so honest.
    When you have extreme personal growth there will always slip ups. Backsliding. And sometimes even if it’s just for a moment, you can revert back to that bad person you used to be.
    That slip up always makes you feel more guilty than your whole past put together. Because now you know better and know you are capable of better.
    I’ve been there. It hurts. It hurts a lot. In my life the things that have hurt me the most have never been what other people could do to me but rather what I could do to other people. I can’t take that back. All I can do is be better.
    What’s so on point about this is that Geets was doing hood until Kakarot came back. It’s just like in life where you’re flying high and doing great till someone from your old life walks in. You struggle against it but you revert back to that person you were when you knew them.
    We all do this in one way or another. You see an old chum from HS or college and you end up recalling those days and revert that personality. Because that’s who they know you as. But for bad people, it’s a poison. Seeing someone from that life can pull you down back into the mud.
    It’s why I actually like Geets in super. He’s a decent father. A good husband. And he loves his family. He thinks it makes him soft at first but then he sees it’s what makes him strong. He now has something he’d not only kill for, but something he’d die for. And there is a huge difference.
    Geets is my hero. Not for the bad guys he beats up but because his biggest battle was with himself. And I identify with that.

    I can say Majin Vegeta is my favorite version.

    I agree Vegeta became a SS2 during the 7 years. Majin Vegeta was just a mastered SS2

      no such thing as Mastered SS2 form, but I know what you mean.

    Would have been cool if Babadi, made Majin Force...Vegeta, Piccolo, Android 18 all three use too be evil.

      That sounds like a dumb side quest from Xenoverse or something.

    This was probably one of my favorite points of Vegeta's timeline. I saw this part as him regressing back to his evil ways only as an obstacle before he can finally develop into becoming a full-on good guy. To Vegeta's credit here, I am proud that he actually tried to clean up his mess this time.
    It was also funny just seeing him refuse Babidi's commands all to fight Goku.
