Is this the best shounen character ever written?
Especially considering the entire series. He goes from being a giant prick villain bitch to an honorable friend, warrior, father, husband, and hero. The Majin arc is absolute kino only because of vegeta.
Validate me
Yes
Yes but Sup Forums is filled with retards who are never going to accept this.
Yes, basically and technically.
neat
Not anymore, Super fucked him over real hard.
Not cringe, considering it's a DBZ tattoo.
Pretty much. And if you ask me, his character development made much more sense than Piccolo's. Piccolo just turned from "hurr I'm the Demon King, I'll kill everyone" to "let's protect Earth and its people" in, like, a few months, without any explanation other than "Gohan is cute."
Vegeta had to go through a series of hardships and failures until he became a good person. It's much more realistic.
Yes. I love how he just calls Bulma "woman".
That's not Gon
>Implying Cooler isn't our savior
>Be banished to Earth by your evil sister Frieza
>Have deep emotional trauma
>take it outon local villains
>Start romance with Bulma
>Saves Piccolo from Cell
>In final battle, helps Vegeta slay buu
>Cooler makes ultimate sacrifice to save his loved ones from Frieza
>Gives his life as Bulma and their son Icer
Look on.
Are there any greater heroes?
That's not Killua
This is objectively the best shounen character ever written.
David Bowie?
You literally cannot top this
he's still a giant prick.
BASED
Last few eps of super have made him into a Mishima tier closet faggot with an insane as fuck ego all to shill the U6 saiyajins.
His personality is fucked now.
what are you talking about? he's always had a massive ego. he gave up his evil ways not his pride you dumb fuck.
Of course he is. Goku isn't allowed to isn't allowed to have any major flaws beyond being stupid, Gohan's only character arc is perpetually being hyped that he CAN surpass his father and did it just before the series went to shit, and the rest of the cast matter so little there's no point getting into it.
This leaves vegeta being the only one allowed to make actual mistakes and grow from them.
both of his deaths are the absolute pinnacle of shounen kino desu lad
It's thanks to him Cell and Buu were even defeated. He's a pretty good guy.
Yeah he has an ego.
But the shit he's been pulling in the last few eps is the most embarassing faggotry I've ever seen.
That's not ego that's just retarded and gay.
Litterally gay.
Dude envisioned a guy he's known and interacted with for less then TWO GODDAMNED HOURS instead of his wife and children and promised to bring HIS PEOPLE back after the fucking tournament and that's what drove him to SSJ Kawaii.
He didn't mention his fucking pride, or fear for his childrens' lives, or the universe, or even to bring back his own people.
He wanted to save Cabba.
And that last goddamned stupid fucking speech was not about his pride or his saiyajin pride.
It was about shilling their shit OC saiyajins that no one likes again.
He wants those saiyans to have the chance his people never got. Saving them at least makes it so a part of his post people can still exist somewhere.
Vegeta couldn't give a shit about his people.
Joe Yabuki ?
ANY hxh character??
Kenshin is the most nuanced shonen character.
he is a fucking prince and now he's a good person, why the fuck wouldn't he want good thing for his people?
Are you retarded?
Oh wait, you're just a filthy spic that needs to fuck off back to hispachan. Kill yourself.
Unironically this, I am surprised people are arguing for shit like dragon ball and HxH .
Joe is easily most well written character in all of anime and manga
He can literally bring his own people back from the fucking dead.
He, the rightful king of the U7 saiyajins, would be worshipped like unto a fucking living god and his word would be seen as divine law.
To break it would be seen as sin and punishable by death.
The best part?
Unlike the U6 saiyajins they aren't all multiple dozen million super saiyajins in the making.
The average saiyajin has a powerlevel of a few hundred and don't have enough S cells to do dick.
Radditz is the most powerful non genetic-elite on Vegeta.
Nappa was considered a genetic elite noble just below King Vegeta and was entrusted with Vegeta's protection and training.
Fucking Prince Vegeta was until Goku stepped foot on Planet Namek in the Saiyajin saga THE MOST POWERFUL PURE BLOODED SAIYAJIN TO EVER EXIST FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!!
And he didn't even have a powerlevel of a hundred thousand yet.
That means that not only would Vegeta been able to tame the saiyajins but they wouldn't have been a threat anyway.
Goku is a fucking mutant idiot savant who was born on a peaceful as fuck world filled with beings who had amazing innate ki skills.
And Vegeta needed years of living on that world and training himself brutally along with the senzu beans and gravity chamber to equal goku.
The average high tier saiyajin who isn't a genetic elite would be WEAKER then Radditz. The average low level saiyajin would at best have a powerlevel of 3-5 hundred.
The U6 saiyajins aren't his people you idiot.
He cares more about people he hasn't even fucking met then his family universe and actual people.
These are the only two options that sound reasonable.
he's trying to do things he couldn't do before
he redeemed himself as a person, now he's redeeming himself as a prince/king
The only thing that's changed now is that Vegeta has more power.
He's always been able to bring back the Saiyajins in U7. He chose not to.
He is not redeeming dick.
This is a clear attempt to ingratiate the audience to the trash U6 saiyajins.
U7 saiyajins were dicks like his father
