CHARACTER SUMMARY

Vegita is the prince of all Saiyans (Saiya-jins). He was born an elite Saiyan and has the ability to become a Super Saiyan. Along with Nappa, Raddiz and Goku (Kakarot) he is one of the four survivors of his home planet "Vegita"*. The Saiyans were part of Freeza's organization and used as tools to take over and prepare planets for sale. Freeza took Vegita as a child and sent him out on special missions. While out fulfilling one of those missions, his home world was abruptly destroyed (this happened when he was a child). As Freeza's henchmen, Vegita was regarded as one of the more powerful soldiers in the galaxy. He always knew that Freeza destroyed planet Vegita and plotted to one day overthrow the vile ruler.

     At birth Vegita was calculated to have the highest class as a Saiyan. That perception changed when he met one warrior he could not defeat: Son Goku. As a man with great pride in being the best Saiyan he couldn't accept the fact that Goku, a low class Saiyan, was always one step ahead of him. He always try to best him in combat and this has been his obsession ever since. With his pride and huge ego he is always trying to show that he is the most powerful in the universe.

Vegita is at heart evil, and is the "bad apple" of the Z team. He lacks morals (in the beginning anyway) and can come off as being obnoxious. After some time however, he changes and develops a conscience. Although he would never admit it, he does care about his friends and family. He sometimes reveals that he thrives on his emotions. Even though he shows that he hates Goku with a passion, he really respects him and maybe even likes him... a little. He and Bulma eventually have two children: Trunks and Bra.

• Big Bang Attack: Vegita's first technique as a Super Saiyan. Its a huge energy bolt emitted from his palm that is very powerful. Vegita holds out one arm and flatten his palm forward towards the opponent.
• Galick-Ho: An imitation to Mutenroshi's Kamehameha. He powers up the energy then releases it with both hands forward.

INTERESTING NOTES ON VEGITA

• The name Vegita is a play in the word vegetable.

*In theory, there are 7 Saiyan survivors: Tarus from movie3, Brolli and his father from movie8. Why do I state that there are only four surviving Saiyans? Again in theory movie3 and 8 could have never happened. So, in theory those Saiyans could never exists. Then again you could argue otherwise!
