![]() It's amazing to think that Toriyama ended up placing such a prominent character is what is essentially an OVA so irrelevant that Funimation didn't even bother to give it an English dub. freakin' Toriyama), and he made his first canon appearance in the 2008 OVA, Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!! This person's name is Tarble (because Vegeta and Tarble combined forms Vegetable. However, according to Toriyama, Vegeta actually had a younger brother, who managed to survive the decimation of Planet Vegeta. After all, before his marriage, Vegeta never really showed any compassion or anything of the sort for others, which is a red flag in itself. And while the kingdom he was supposed to rule had been destroyed, it still doesn't change the fact that Vegeta's actual title is The King Of All Saiyans.īut according to recent events, he's apparently not the only survivor of the royal Saiyan bloodline.Ĭan anyone even pretend to think of Vegeta as a doting brother? Because I sure can't, and I'm pretty sure there are many other people who share the same sentiment. This meant that Vegeta was no longer just a prince, but a king. This included King Vegeta, who was - and this is the biggest surprise of them all - the father of the self-titled Prince Of All Saiyans. This, accompanied by the fact that Vegeta ended up losing at the hands of what was essentially a lower-class Saiyan, permanently damaged his ego and made him realize just how empty the title of The Prince Of All Saiyans actually was. A title that's conceptually wrong in itself.Īfter all, in the aftermath of Frieza's attack on Planet Vegeta, the entire royal line of Saiyans was wiped out. This bubble that Vegeta lived in meant that he lived a life that was free from any strife - that is, until Frieza decided to lay waste to the entire planet simply because he could. Vegeta was born into royalty from the get-go, which meant that people around his were stroking his pride from the day he was born. The worst part is that Vegeta's title isn't even accurate in the slightest. Instead, what ended up occurring is that Vegeta ended up making his home on Earth, which is the last course of action anyone could've predicted for The Prince Of All Saiyans. ![]() By all accounts, he should've wished for Shenron to bring back Planet Vegeta and all its inhabitants, so that the Saiyan race could start anew. His entire planet was blown up by Frieza, effectively putting an end to the Saiyan legacy and destroying his claim to the throne in spectacular fashion. Vegeta is perhaps the biggest offender in this regard. After all, it's not like they didn't have any opportunities - in fact, one might argue that they actually had several, but for some reason, these characters didn't fulfill their deepest desires. While there are times when the wishes of the Dragon Balls have proven to be incredibly useful, the fact of the matter is that there are multiple instances when the main cast have chosen to ignore their own wants and desires, which could've been fulfilled by Shenron. The Dragon Balls are woefully underutilized in the series, that's for sure. The best way to illustrate this point would be to talk about Vegeta and Nappa - the Z Fighters could've simply wished for the space capsules to malfunction, which would've sent both Saiyans to an early grave. They could've used some technicality or the other to make sure that these threats were nothing more than a thing of the past. Even if that happened to be the case - which we highly doubt - it's not like that was the end of the world for the Z Fighters. ![]() Why didn't the heroes wish for these threats to be eradicated?Īfter all, aside from the latest enemies in Dragon Ball Super that have surpassed Shenron's power, it's not like anyone was stronger than the dragon himself. ![]() Take the example of the multiple threats that have plagued Earth - some of which have even destroyed the planet altogether. However, it must be said that while these Dragon Balls are promoted as one of the most powerful things in the universe, the heroes don't exactly utilize it in the best manner possible. Such is the relevance of these Dragon Balls that the entire series is named after them, which speaks volumes when it comes to their prominence. By summoning the great dragon Shenron, individuals are able to ask for any wish to be fulfilled. The Dragon Balls are one of the most powerful things on Planet Earth. ![]()
