Vegeta

Vegeta, also known as Vegeta IV, Vegita, Prince of all Saiyans and Saiyan Prince, is one of the main characters from the Dragon Ball series.
==Charactah Account==
Vegeta starts out haughty, arrogant, self-entitled and ruthless as the prince of Saiyans. His royal status caused him to develop an inflated sense of superiority and he holds himself above most, if not all people he encounters. Regal, egotistical and full of pride, Vegeta was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer. However, as the story unfolds, he changes to a person capable of caring about and loving someone other than himself.
Vegeta was once a young member of the Saiyan army, but after his race's demise, he worked alongside Nappa and Raditz, directly under Freeza. He seeks immortality to rule the universe, but once he learns about Freeza destroying his planet from Dodoria, he resolves to take out Freeza (not to avenge his race, but to assure his own rule over the universe as well as to get back at Freeza for unknowingly using him to further his own goals). He later battles Freeza with the main cast on Namek and dies in the ensuing fights; once he is revived, he returns to Earth, where he adjusts to everyday life and remains there for good.

==Trivia==
*Vegeta's name is a pun on the word vegetable (bejitaboru) with an elongated "-ge" sound.
*In his first appearance, Vegeta's initial story arc is almost identical to that of Piccolo, as both are otherworldly beings who develop a deep rivalry with Goku after being defeated by him but then go on to team up with him in order to fight more powerful foes, and in the process, Vegeta appears to develop a fondness for Gohan and comes numerous times to his aid like Piccolo did. While Piccolo dies fighting Nappa, Vegeta is killed by Frieza, but both are revived by the Dragon Balls and go on to fight alongside Goku against stronger foes.
*Vegeta's favorite vehicle is the attack ball.
*Vegeta is the type to give his techniques English names.
*Despite Vegeta's obsession with defeating Goku, Goku has never actually beaten him. However, Vegeta's desire may come from a wounded pride over the fact that Goku surpassed him with the Kaio-Ken and needed to resort to transforming into the Great Ape.
*While Vegeta noted that a Saiyan's hair does not grow longer or change shape from how they were born (minus facial hair), in Bardock - The Father of Goku, anime flashbacks during the Frieza Saga and a manga flashback in the God of Destruction Beerus Saga, it was shown that Vegeta had a hairstyle with bangs over his forehead as a child, unlike in his normal depiction with a prominent widows-peak.
*In the Greek dub of Dragon Ball Z, Vegeta and Nappa's voices have filters like the other villains in the series (including former villains). But sometimes, these filters won't be heard.
*While Vegeta is shorter than Bulma throughout Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, he becomes taller than her in Dragon Ball Super and the movie counterparts.
*The original Super Saiyan God appears identical to Vegeta, right down to even the clothing they wear, suggesting that Vegeta could be a direct descendant of him.
*In an interview in the March 2014 issue of Saikyou Jump (released on February 2014), Akira Toriyama says that, in the event that there is talk of another animated film after Battle of Gods (2013), he would like Vegeta to play the main role (adding that this is nothing more than intentions, and that he has not decided anything at all). This didn't pan out, as the sequel film still featured Goku as the main protagonist.
*There have been several times where Vegeta has been stronger than Goku, but was eventually surpassed by him:
**The first time was on Planet Namek. While Goku was healing on Frieza's ship, specifically when Vegeta ate the senzu bean and gained a zenkai boost, Vegeta surpassed his previous power limitation and Goku's power, but Goku was shown to be much stronger after healing on Frieza's ship.
**The second time was during his fight with the Androids; Piccolo speculates after witnessing Vegeta's performance that the prince may have surpassed Goku. This continued when he came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for the first time; even Piccolo, who was the strongest Z Fighter at the time, was amazed by his power. Goku soon surpassed Vegeta with the same training even after Vegeta used the chamber a second time.
**When Beerus shows up at Bulma's birthday party, Vegeta becomes enraged when Beerus slaps Bulma to the ground. His boost during that rage was noted to surpass Goku by both Master Roshi and Beerus. However, Goku achieved Super Saiyan God soon after.
**Before the events of Resurrection ‘F’, Vegeta catches up to Goku as they train with Beerus' master, Whis together. In the Dragon Ball Super anime, Vegeta trains with Whis and six months prior to Goku. At this period, he surpasses Goku, or at the very least is around equal to Goku.
**In the Dragon Ball Super manga, Vegeta could ascend higher than Perfected Super Saiyan Blue following the events of the Tournament of Power, while Goku could not do so at will. Goku eventually became able to take on his own state beyond Perfected Super Saiyan Blue at will.
**In the final battle with Moro, having mastered Spirit Control, Goku and Piccolo acknowledged that Vegeta had surpassed Goku. Soon after however, Goku surpassed Vegeta by completing Ultra Instinct.
**After achieving Ultra Ego, Vegeta performed better in battle against Granolah than Goku had with his Perfected Ultra Instinct.
**During the events of Super Hero, Vegeta is a bit above than Goku in their respective base forms, thanks to reflecting upon and then optimizing his fighting style.
*In Xenoverse 2, if the Future Warrior talks to Vegeta while wearing Future Trunks' attire, he will say while thinking out loud "That outfit, I wonder how he's doing" before telling them not to worry about it.
*Vegeta has remarked on two separate occasions that he dislikes being in Gag Manga/Anime.
**The first time was at the end of his cameo role in Neko Majin Z.
**The second time was in the Dr. Slump crossover episode of Dragon Ball Super.
*Vegeta does not have a last name.
*There is a running gag of Vegeta and the color pink; despite his distaste for it, the color is frequently shown him, such as wearing a pink scouter in the Xenoverse series, eating pink ice cream, wearing a pink apron, and the famous “Badman” shirt he was given when he began living on Earth.
**In Xenoverse 2, Vegeta's infamous "Badman" shirt appears as an outfit under the name Vegeta's Shirt. If the Future Warrior talks to Vegeta while wearing it he will say "Wh-What are you wearing?! Where did you dig up something that old?! Tch... You're dredging up bitter memories!... But I guess it shows that I've gotten used to life on Earth... Heh!".
*Vegeta is the first mortal character to defeat a God of Destruction in the anime.
*Vegeta has the second largest kill count out of all the Dragon Team.
*Vegeta has killed every member of the Ginyu Force.
*Dragon Ball Super chapter 74's promotional preview dubs Vegeta as 'The most dangerous guy/person in the universe'.
