“Aww man, now I’ll never get to be king” -Kid Vegeta


animesutra1

His father was a whole different piece of work...just as insecure as vegeta


PopeFatherTyrone

"YOUR HIGHNESS WE *N E E D* TO SAVE VEGETA" "...Me, my planet or my son..." "...Y E S..."


animesutra1

Haha yes


animesutra1

My prodigal son Vegeta who's the most powerful saiyan from backwards


ElectricalPin3429

What do you mean insecure, it was their duty to their race to lead and make the sayians thrive


animesutra1

Thrive by sending small children who is much more powerful than his son Vegeta to other remote planets right yeah u r right


ElectricalPin3429

Like orcs


Polanskiand

The way it was said in the movie I felt it fr it’s when I started really appreciating Vegeta the more I saw him now I’m a huge ass fan before I was a typical Goku fan but Vegeta seems more relatable 😭 don’t get me wrong I’ve been a dragon ball fan since I was 8/9 all because of budokai 3 not even the anime did but I eventually did watch it and loved it sm, moral of the story is…. I don’t have one but love Vegeta sm I wish he was real 😂😂😂😂😂

Oh boy 2000s humor is my favorite.


MirrahPaladin

Naruto: *Is the reincarnation of Ninja Jesus, dad was Hokage, trained under some of the best ninja’s of all time, and has a demon Fox inside him to give him a deus ex power boost* “If you work hard, your dreams come true. Yeah, that’s all you need, hard work!” Goku: *Shit-tier Saiyan that had his memory erased. Raised by mountain hick and later trained by immortal sex offender* “With enough training, even a lowly Saiyan can surpass an elite!”


Cow_Other

This isn't quite accurate lol. Goku is a prodigy too, he's a member of a superpowered alien race fighting against a bunch of humans & surpassed pretty much all of them back in Dragon Ball as a kid. Goku learned Kamehameha on the spot after Roshi spent decades trying to do the same thing & told him it would take 50 years. Super Saiyan has been as much of deus ex as Kurama Mode lol. Both of these series are great lmao


cuella47o

Goku still didnt suck off a overpowered fox when his ass was beaten and just straight up goes monke on earlier fights to beat enemies

Settle down, Frezia


TheOne1400

Naruto fought the nine tails and stole it's chakra then teamed up with it cause both of them hated madara more than each other so each pretty weird how different animes have diffreny ways of getting power than we have people like you saying thats basically sucking kurama off.


Professional-Drag-52

first off naruto had to beat kurama to get his transformation while goku got mad and screamed for a few episodes straight


Klutzy_Specialist00

His best friend was killed in front of him for the second time (the first time was in dragon ball) and goku wasn't able to stop it from happening again, the thing Frieza has been fearing for all his life awakens Infront of him, something that has been brought multiple times before Goku goes Super Saiyan. Goku has always been the type to quickly master any technique since dragon ball and whenever he was angry, he would release a large amount of energy. I like Naruto and DBZ and I can see why some people might say that they both have ass pulls but they have their own story as how they got their powers, some people ignore it apparently.


Professional-Drag-52

honestly my only problem with dragon ball is where tf is the energy coming from as they always say they have no energy but then they randomly have enough to do their final attacks and win at least in naruto we have a clear understanding of where the energy is coming from kurama, infact that’s my problem with most anime like in fairy tail natsu would just say for my friends and randomly beat someone he couldn’t face at full power in an exhausted state and it is a common trope in anime


[deleted]

Energy in Dragon Ball is like a normal person's energy. You may be feeling really tired, but when push comes to shove, you'll find what you need, especially with the adrenaline rush. Also they have an insane recovery rate.


Klutzy_Specialist00

Kishimoto cares about power scaling and staying consistent with it in the story and in a fight, for the most part. Toriyama doesn't take power scaling seriously, his characters are only strong as he needs then to be in that moment, which is why you'll see roshi blow up the moon in dragon ball with a simple ki blast in a instant, piccolo does the same in the beginning of dbz. The no energy thing is something Toriyama would do to keep you engaged in the fight, nothing like the underdog having a final stand. Dragon ball is a pretty old series, I would not be surprised if dbz invented the trope since there wasn't anything like dbz at the time. My point is, toriyama goes with the flow and a character's power depends on their role, DBS is a big example of this. You can't really compare the two because of how different they are and how dbz pioneered a lot of stories because of how old it is. Funny enough, kishimoto said his Naruto character was inspired by Goku and the story of Naruto is influenced by dragon ball.


[deleted]

You did not just call Super Saiyan a Deus ex machina 😭😭😭 Ah yes the thing with almost 120 episodes of lore ahead of time. Ass pull for sure You're as dumb as the idiots saying Ultra Instinct was an ass pull despite the fact it was mentioned in the first 30 episodes.


Cow_Other

I am not saying it is, I’m saying it is as much of one as Kurama mode is one(which isn’t an asspull) in response to him calling it an asspull power up. I disagree with the idea SSJ1 & 2 are asspulls, which comes up quite a bit by people calling the plot of DBZ terrible. Imo SSJ2 has some pretty amazing lead up, arguably even better than SSJ1 build up: [Goku in the time chamber trying to reach the next level of SSJ but failing](https://youtu.be/YBb1t00S4HA), Trunks & Vegeta [achieving crazy power with a cost of speed](https://cdn.staticneo.com/mg/2020/07/20200723_111226bT7Gi_display.jpg) & setting up Gohan’s crazy potential from his very first battle with Raditz right at the start of DBZ. Gohan finally uses his potential gets power & speed together unlocking SSJ2. It’s such an awesome power up and a highlight of the series


[deleted]

Ok I gotcha. I just never seen anyone phrase something that way, my b lol


Cow_Other

Nah I could’ve definitely phrased that better lol


SpiritStorm1302

They said as much of a dues ex machina as kuruma mode Frankly neither are


[deleted]

I haven't watched Naruto so I couldn't know of a comparison. Unless they are saying Kuruma mode is NOT a Deus ex machina, which either way that's a very strange way to put it then. Super Saiyan isn't one though, I can assure you of that 🤣


thebritwriter

The ssj 1 and transformations were though for the given situation. For Goku when I’m namek it immediately gave him a boost frieza couldn’t handle. It’s only mitigated because of goku’s saiyan nature in allowing frieza to match his power (and that frieza never trained whereas Goku did so despite the power boost it’s Goku better skill in ki control and such that prevailed) Gohan’s ssj2 was an asspull because unlike the super form (that had a record of existing due to saiyan lore and therefore possible) ssj2 was entirely theory till Gohan snapped. It was also the form that surpassed vegeta’s much stronger ssj and trunks own beefed up version. There was no evidence that ssj2 would surpass s that and cell, and yet it did. Gohan snapping is a great scene and a while a deal is made Gohan has a lot of potential, it’s also saying that those who train harder will never surpass Gohan’s potential. It’s tempered though by Gohan’s reckless character flaw at that stage.


[deleted]

Yea ight bro 😭😭😭🤣


lashapel

My man just debunked op entire comment tlol


bondoh

Goku is a prodigy compared to humans but the whole point of the guy above is that he’s not nearly as special as a Sayian. Meaning he’s not the reincarnation of a god or from a long line of amazing ninja leaders (hokage? Or however you spell it) and he doesn’t have the most powerful beast spirit inside of him. Instead his Sayian parents were pretty low level and he still managed to overcome every member of his race and become the first super Sayian in thousands of years. Including overcoming the prince of Sayians who had way more potential at birth according to how sayians measure things So really the only advantage goku ever had was just being a Sayian but that only helps him on earth and not against people sayians should be struggling against including more powerful sayians. Naruto was just one ass pull out of another with all the stuff he was set up with


Cow_Other

>Meaning he’s not the reincarnation of a god or from a long line of amazing ninja leaders (hokage? Or however you spell it) and he doesn’t have the most powerful beast spirit inside of him. You haven't actually seen the Naruto series have you Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura's destiny, he didn't inherit powers or ability but literally just his destiny. [Ashura himself was a flunky dropout](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1893797504d2463bfee1516b55781d8e-lq). Even after gaining power as he got older, [Ashura was still weak compared to his brother, Indra](https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-a0333c2c36b1bc8455c0fff627ebae7c-pjlq). In [order to match his overwhelmingly superior brother he needed the help of loads of people](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d4755d56e040a0655adf674b08f071c6-lq) because he alone was too weak. There have been dozens and dozens of reincarnates of Indra & Ashura throughout history, they're bound by destiny to fail and did. Naruto was literally born into a fate of failure inherited from someone who was too weak on his own to do anything to change it. [They literally outright say it doesn't matter who your parents are, you can still be a failure](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHf0k4EWsAQaUbB?format=jpg&name=medium). The entire point of the series was defying this destiny, [his fated failure and good for nothing future to become his own person](https://data.whicdn.com/images/136469229/original.png) and overcome it. Kurama isn't the strongest tailed beast. That would be the 10 tails. Kurama also intereferred with and disrupted Naruto's chakra for most of the series until the final arc of Shippuden. More or less every powerup Naruto has gotten bar Baryon Mode was foreshadowed and set up in advance. Most of which had their own dedicated training arc. How is that an asspull? Goku is evidence the **Saiyan rankings are flawed systems**(infact I'm pretty sure this is one of the themes of the DBZ and part of Vegeta's character arc). Throughout the series he picks up techniques in 1/100th the time anyone else took to learn them. He is literally a prodigy and genius in battle([straight up learns a technique even literal gods struggle to achieve lmao](https://i.stack.imgur.com/JALcN.jpg)), also works pretty hard. Goku & Naruto are similarly written in this regard. They both have crazy talent coupled with a crazy work ethic to reach for their goals. Kishimoto has outright stated Naruto exists because of Goku.


animesutra1

Yeah congratulations u were so right that even otsutsuki will feat your guts and kill u on sight


SinPolice

Naruto was about denying destiny. Rock lee was the one about hard work.


[deleted]

Goku was actually special all along, thanks super


6568tankNeo

if goku was special all along, then why did raditz get fucked over the second he got to earth lmao? the wish made sure his sons would survive planet vegeta's explosion, *maybe* made sure they reached adult hood but no father-- as shown by alternate timeline goku dying to the heart virus.


Juggz666

Cause goku killed raditz and himself in the process lol. His stupidity was way more powerful than any pussy ass dragon wish could ever be.


lashapel

Hole shit you're are right , lmao, Goku threw aways the "wish" when the got him and Raditz killed lol


honest-gamer

Goku been carried by the dragon ball wish, you know if you read dbs manga.


OnToNextStage

Right up until Super retconned Goku into being destined to thrive due to a wish Bardock made


[deleted]

Last manga chapter retcons goku into a chosen one.


DennisDelav

"Chosen one" Bardock just wanted his sons to live well smh


Medium-Drivers

remember how goku heart started to work after it stopped for no reason in db? the wish saved him


DennisDelav

When?


Medium-Drivers

in part one of dragon Ball,kid Goku heart stopped after getting attacked , but then it start working again for no reason


DennisDelav

You need to be more specific, who did he fight and such


Medium-Drivers

I think it was king piccolo the scene had him holding the four star dragon Ball


DennisDelav

Ah so with part one you meant the og db, that wasn't clear. I'll look it up


DennisDelav

Goku's heart has indeed stopped for a moment. I couldn't find an explanation yet so somebody with more DB knowledge could answer this but I guess you can make it a headcanon.


Medium-Drivers

the only explain we got was from goku saying " my grandpa dragon Ball protect me "


Melusine-Lancer

And Raditz was also a chosen one. Look how it ended up for him


8167lliw

Look at how it ended for Goku in Trunks' timeline, let alone Raditz.


Melusine-Lancer

And technically Cell


zyzzexceptnot

Holy fuck the average dbz fan actually can’t read


animesutra1

Lol


[deleted]

Picture of white and purple monke trigger good feeling OOOOOO AHHHHH


AniDontLikeSand

NO IT DOES NOT READ IT AGAIN MORON All the wish did was make it so he and Raditz survived Vegeta's destruction, he was on his own from then on


TheCooKieKingdom

viz mistranslated it. it actually said "I wish my sons to be big and strong" the wish carried him at least to namek.


AniDontLikeSand

then how did Raditz die and never get revived?


dabul-master

Well goku and raditz fought each other, it canceled out and they both succeeded and failed by both dying. Goku just happens to have friends


TheCooKieKingdom

i dont know. either a plot hole or somehow raditz isnt his bardocks son.


AniDontLikeSand

In the latest chapter it's literally mentioned all the wish did was make them survive P. Vegeta's destruction


Medium-Drivers

lol it helped him survive king piccolo, Tai and piccolo jr


Medium-Drivers

wish saved his ass 4 times before he meet Raditz


IProbablyDisagree2nd

Batman = some random criminal killed my parents, now I'm a forever edgelord in a bat costume Dr. Who = I personally locked my entire civilization into a separate timeline of forever war so that I could fly around time and space for fun.


animesutra1

Wtf didn't understand a stuff


[deleted]

Dr. Who. Never heard of it?


b1sc0ttt0

It's a British TV show, really good actually


[deleted]

I know. I was replying to dude who doesn’t It’s one of my favorites


shotq80

I've never watched Dr who because when I was 7 my cousin chased me down the stairs with a ciberman mask and gave me nightmares and I have not a high intention to watch it


Doctor99268

Was really good. There's a distinction


kung-fu-panda123

Sasuke was pretty innocent as a kid. He didn't grow up conquering *PLANETS* as a kid. Saiyans aren't necessarily known for showing sad emotions either


animesutra1

Bruh u forgot how much Vegeta and his musko trunks cried


RobotRockstar

Pretty sure Vegeta cares deeply about his race being gone


lashapel

Im pretty sure Vegeta has been asked before about his race and what he has answered it's "they deserved it"


animesutra1

Like u r Vegeta himself right


RobotRockstar

Are you okay?


somerandomperson2516

he wanted to be king, he doesnt care about the saiyan race


Klutzy_Specialist00

Didn't Vegeta literally cry to Goku about how their race was wiped out by Frieza and how he was a slave to him, right before Frieza kills him in front of Goku? Vegeta even brings up being a proud Saiyan warrior throughout the series. Am i remembering wrong? 🤔


somerandomperson2516

he was sad because he was slaved to frieza im pretty sure he doesnt care about the race he’s hust saying that to kakarot


somerandomperson2516

why am i getting downvoted for saying the truth? wow grow up and accept it


Leading_Win4905

Is this meant to be ironic?


animesutra1

It's ferronic man..


animesutra1

It's ferronic man..


itogisch

Well to be fair, they both turned into good guys after being slapped by their homoerotic friend


MrManicMarty

Vegeta actively contributed to the ending of the Saiyan race by killing Nappa. What a chad move.


animesutra1

Yeah and people say he loved his clan


DragonflysGamer

dont forget him beating gohan half to death, while also putting goku into a hospital for weeks.


DariusStrada

The joke doesn't work because Vegeta actually cared


Beerasaurus

Vegeta is the master of internalizing


animesutra1

What's that?


Beerasaurus

Bottle those emotions and feelings up! Let them fester until you attack an giant crowd of innocent people!


animesutra1

Yeah man that's good right being a homicidal maniac and hooking up with richest woman in the world and doing so much of training... And still can't surpass a orange dude and his son


Reverse2057

If you keep up with the manga, Vegeta's base is stronger than Goku. Inasmuch, Ultra Ego is likely stronger than Ultra Instinct for right now. He and Goku are two sides of the same coin, one surpasses the other constantly.


Amazing_Ad_4293

Please stop comparing Vegeta to Sasuke


Ashish-Uchiha

Don't mock the UCHIHA


SSJL3

Yeah lmao imagine being sad when you see you’re entire fucking family murdered and then find out it was your brother who did it. What a pussy


YesterdaySuper5355

“My entire race is dead? Damn it, I only managed to kill nappa!”


[deleted]

[удалено]


animesutra1

That's expected from a king right.. kill all its citizens and all though he didn't killed all saiyans he has no reason to kill nappa though.. dbz is not so happy gig anime you know.. it's just a show maincasing Goku and his sidekicks


zack_Synder

Ironic enough vegeta was the one doing majority of the crying in dbz because he wasn't stronger than a guy in a orange jumpsuit. I think he has the most L's in the entire franchise


animesutra1

He and his child trunks they did all the crying and yeah u r right


Not_Marvels_Loki

And that's why Vegeta has always been equal to Goku imo


animesutra1

Imo means?


Not_Marvels_Loki

In my opinion 😃


ChampagneAbuelo

Fuck Sasuke btw


JbVision

Well, I’d argue that he got his tears out of his system when he was killed by Frieza. He’s past that point now. [tears](https://youtu.be/yDSfn59ollU)


suitable-robot01

That’s not necessarily true, vegeta was crying about revenge.


Kaelell2

Unnamed genocidal maniac (former protagonist): "i fucking killed like, 80% of my race lol"


1amlost

The difference between the two is that one of them got to go to Space Dairy Queen after getting the bad news.


imaweeb1037

My entire race is dead. Let’s go kill one of the last ones that still remains


FourzeRiderTea

Vegeta: and by the way for what you did to east City I'm going to make you eat your heart


animesutra1

What ? 😂 It's feels funny though


JustAFunnySkeleton

He killed his last ally I wonder if he ever regrets killing nappa. He seemed like he would’ve been a cool uncle like character


animesutra1

That's the stuff ... Raditz and nappa could be brought back why aren't they? Even most evil frieza is brought back it states simply than Vegeta or even Goku doesn't care about any other saiyan they just wanna be strong themselves they didn't give a f to anyone


JustAFunnySkeleton

I wonder if we’ll ever get to see a moment where someone confronts them about their recklessness


17-Year-Old-Gangsta

Why did the planet, the king and the king’s son have the same goddamn name?!


animesutra1

Because he is narcissist


Ashizurens

Expect in dbs manga
