Welcome
to the "Personalities" section, here you can see how Vegeta's
personality changed throughout the whole series. Is Vegeta really the
rock of solid pride we all know? Well, find out here...
from Ginga GIRI GIRI!!! site
| Bardock
Special |
|
There wasn't that much mention of his
pride here, but Vegeta craved more power and complained that he
wouldn't get stronger if he kept staying on Planet Vegeta. Vegeta
really didn't care much about the destruction of his home planet
either.

| Saiyans
Saga |
|
Vegeta was extremely ruthless and full
of pride here. He was so ruthless that he killed a Saibaman for
losing to Tenshinhan and killed his own partner Nappa for losing
to Goku. Before he fought Goku he told him that he was a Saiyan
elite and that a castoff low class Saiyan like Goku cannot compare
to the power of an elite. The American version has Vegeta asking
Goku to join him, but he never even said that in the original japanese
version. I really think they should have had Vegeta mention more
of his eliteness to show how much pride he had.

| Freeza
Saga |
|
After his recovery, Vegeta was certain
that he could defeat Zarbon and Dodoria, but not Freeza. Vegeta's
pride took a huge blow when he realized he wasn't really a Super
Saiyan and died at the hands of Freeza. When he was revived with
the Dragonballs, Vegeta was prideful once again and believed that
he was the strongest in the universe. Note that in the American
version, they made Vegeta cry because his home planet and people
were destroyed by Freeza. In the japanese version, he was crying
because his pride was destroyed by Freeza.

| Androids
and Cell Saga |
|
This is the saga where Vegeta is the bad
guy among the good guys. Although he fought on the good side, he
just wanted to make sure that nobody else would destroy Goku besides
him. Vegeta's pride returned to him once again when he became a
Super Saiyan by easily wiping out #19. Vegeta was confident that
he could take on the rest of the androids and would rather die than
depend on anyone else's help. Vegeta's pride took a big blow once
again after being defeated by #18. After coming out of the room
of Spirit and Time, Vegeta was confident that he would take down
Cell. After beating the crap out of Cell form 2, Vegeta was too
disappointed that he fought such a weak opponent and to satisfy
his own pride, he let Cell become perfect and got defeated once
again. Upon watching Goku fighting Cell, Vegeta came to the realization
that Goku was stronger than him and put all of his hopes in whatever
plan Goku had to win the Cell game. Vegeta hated to admit it, but
as much as it hurt his pride, he had no choice but to watch his
rival and his son to be the only ones to stand up to Cell. After
Cell killed Trunks after killing Goku and Kaio, Vegeta was furious
that his own blood was killed by Cell. He was also furious that
low level soldiers were doing the work of a prince, so taking his
pride with him, Vegeta rushed at Cell even when he didn't have the
power to fight him. After being smacked down by Cell, Gohan ended
up having to save Vegeta's life. Vegeta realized that he put so
much burden on Gohan, and made an apology to him. This was the first
time Vegeta ever apologized to anybody. Without a rival like Goku,
Vegeta said he would never fight again...

| Majin
Buu Saga |
|
With Goku's one day to be on the earth,
Vegeta wanted to become the evil person he once was so he wouldn't
care about anything and the only thing he wanted to do was defeat
Goku once and for all. Realizing there was no way to defeat Majin
Buu, Vegeta told Trunks he was sorry for not giving him the attention
he deserved and gave him a hug. This was the first time Vegeta fought
for anyone else besides satisfying his own pride, so he self destructed,
hoping to take Majin Buu with him and said goodbye to his family,
Bulma and Trunks, and his rival, Goku. During the fight with Majin
Buu after he absorbed Gotenks, Piccolo, and Gohan, Vegeta was brought
back to life to help Goku fight for the fate of the Universe. Vegeta
was pissed that Goku didn't fight him as SSJ3 and refused to fuse
with Goku. Vegeta and Goku were no match for Majin Buu, so as much
as it hurt his pride, Vegeta went with the fusion with Goku to become
Vegetto. After being defused and during the fight on Kaioshin-kai,
Vegeta realized that Goku became so strong because he was fighting
to protect the people around him. Realizing that he had his own
family to protect, Vegeta let go of his pride and decided to fight
for the same cause, and said... "Kakaroth, you're number 1!"
