Summary

• Vegeta strives to surpass Goku by unlocking powerful transformations in Dragon Ball Super.
• Super Saiyan Blue form is overused, but Vegeta’s evolution addresses initial design flaws.
• Majin Vegeta strikes terror after allowing himself to be possessed, setting up an epic battle.

Vegeta is one of the greatest anime characters of all time who serves as a great rival to the noble Goku. While a cookie-cutter goody-two-shoes protagonist is fun in its own way, Vegeta’s edgy personality is exactly what older Dragon Ball fans wanted.

After acknowledging Goku as a superior rival in Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta has aimed to get stronger in Super and surpass Kakarot on his terms. As a result, he has unlocked several powerful transformations that help him reach new heights of power and obliterate opponents in style.

Super Saiyan Blue

Vegeta’s Go-to Form During Dragon Ball Super

• Debut: Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’

While there’s no denying that the Super Saiyan Blue form is great in its way, most fans will agree that this transformation was used way too many times in Dragon Ball Super. This reached a point where fans knew that this transformation wouldn’t be enough to cut it against the series’ strongest foes.

However, that should still take nothing away from how awe-inspiring Vegeta looks in this transformation. The blue color of this form may look a bit too washed out at times, but the evolution of this form addressed this problem.

Super Saiyan God

The Red Hair Suits Vegeta, And It’s A Shame He Barely Uses This Form

• Debut: Dragon Ball Super: Broly

It’s a shame that anime fans have only seen Vegeta turn into Super Saiyan God in the canon Broly movie. It’s a great form for the Saiyans to economize their strength and prioritize speed.

In this cameo, Vegeta certainly looked impressive, but it’s clear that this form won’t be enough to challenge the biggest threats in Dragon Ball Super. Still, Vegeta’s red hair looks novel and makes it clear why fans love this transformation so much.

Super Saiyan

Watching Vegeta Turn Into A Super Saiyan For The First Time Never Gets Old

• Debut: Upgrade to Super Saiyan (Episode 129 of Dragon Ball Z)

The Prince of all Saiyans refused to believe that a lowly warrior class Saiyan could achieve a Super Saiyan transformation. He went to a different planet and trained under extreme duress, but failed to achieve a form that eluded him for the longest time.

Thankfully, Vegeta unlocked this transformation at this very moment and whipped it out during the fight against Android 19. This form was amazing to behold and the Big Bang Attack was just as satisfying, even if Android 18 humbled the Saiyan Prince not long after.

Super Saiyan 2

Vegeta Acquires This Form During The Time-Skip

• Debut: Vegeta’s Pride (Episode 229 of Dragon Ball Z)

It’s only a given that electrical arcs are going to make any transformation look great, which is why the Super Saiyan 2 form will look just a tad bit better than its predecessor. This is by design, and Vegeta uses this form several times against his strongest foes time and time again.

A notable highlight arrives when Vegeta uses this form in Battle of Gods against Beerus after the Destroyer God hit his wife. He flew into a rage as his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he unleashed a beatdown for the ages that satisfied fans to no end.

Majin Vegeta

The Prince Of All Saiyans Lets Himself Be Possessed By Babidi

• Debut: The Dark Prince Returns (Episode 228 of Dragon Ball Z)

To this day, there’s something sinister about the “M” on Vegeta’s forehead that fans love despite how scary it looks. The Prince of all Saiyans let himself be controlled by Babidi’s magic after facing a midlife crisis for the ages.

It may have been a short-lived form, but Majin Vegeta struck terror in the hearts of everyone as he decided to fight Goku with this newfound power. It was a rematch fans were waiting for, but the battle was cut short after the emergence of Majin Buu and the Prince of all Saiyans blew himself up to redeem himself not long after.

Super Saiyan 4

Vegeta Looks Intimidating In A Form He Achieves At The Very End Of Dragon Ball GT

• Debut: Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta (Episode 59 of Dragon Ball GT)

Vegeta had become an afterthought in Dragon Ball GT, something that didn’t sit right with fans. So, to watch him become a Super Saiyan 4 with Goku in their fight against Omega Shenron was a joy to witness.

Regardless of GT‘s meandering quality, there’s no denying that Vegeta looks amazing in this form. It’s a well-designed form that does justice to the Great Ape form and strikes a middle ground that shows just how much thought the artists put into it.

2

Super Saiyan Blue Evolved

Vegeta Gets Stronger On His Terms And Looks Positively Royal

• Debut: Body, Soul and Power Unleashed! Goku and Vegeta! (Episode 123 of Dragon Ball Super)

After deciding to get stronger on his own terms, Vegeta powers up in an amazing moment in Dragon Ball Super where he unlocks a new transformation. The evolved version of Super Saiyan Blue looks amazing and helps the blue color look more regal than ever.

Fans love how epic Vegeta looks in this transformation, with the anime giving him his moment to shine when he eliminated Top in the Tournament of Power. He pulled out all the stops and went so far as to almost blow himself up to attain victory.

1

Ultra Ego

The Saiyan Channels The Energy Of A God Of Destruction To Great Effect

• Debut: Vegeta Vs. Granolah (Chapter 74 of Dragon Ball Super)

Fans can’t wait for an official continuation to Dragon Ball Super, since it’ll let them enjoy seeing Ultra Ego in the flesh. The energy of a Destroyer God suited Vegeta’s princely attitude and made him more beast-like than ever before.

The purple hair and lack of eyebrows makes Vegeta look absolutely menacing. The fact that he gets stronger as he absorbs more damage is the cherry on top of an epic transformation that broke the internet when it was revealed.
