"Even the simplest moves..." *Footage of consecutive backflipping*

Vegeta's greatest power is telling stories of how great he is lol.

I like how Vegeta is telling this story mid fight and everybody is just standing around listening

Vegeta’s life is so metaphorically relatable to what many of us go through. I work hard, struggle, experience heartbreak and defeat to achieve our goals yet we sometimes stand by and watch as others get things handed to them. If there’s one thing I take from Vegeta’s story is that life isn’t always fair and everyone’s path is different.

This scene was so relatable. When you try so hard to achieve something but it’s frustrating because it feels like you’re not getting any results.

His hair withstood 450Gs.

I like how the key to him unlocking his power is to stop feeling sorry for himself and instead accept the situation. That’s pretty deep

This scene is so powerful. When you detach and let go, you get what you want.

How to become a super sayian: 1.Push ups 2.Sit ups 3.& plenty of juice

Hate him or love him. You got to give Vegeta, his props and respect. He got the best speeches and motivation out of all the DBZ characters.

2:47 HE SAID IT!!! HE SAID THE LINE🤯🤯🤯🤯

The most ironic thing about this is that in that moment, he discovered the true secret to ultimate power (i.e. to let go of his obsession and stop caring so much about being better than Goku), but the moment he achieved the transformation, the lesson was completely lost on him.

Imagine being so angry that you don't care about anything.

Vegeta, the prince of all 5 people.

Vegeta really took "Everyone is a glow stick. Sometimes we need to break to shine" to the next level.

0:04 the beehsst!!

Moral of the story if you really want something just stop caring for it

Vegeta is the most realistic personality on DBZ

Almost makes me tear up watching this. I love Z’s deep and intricate backstories and explanations for things fit into the episodes. This story by Vegeta truly captures what it meant to be a Super Saiyan, maybe even more than what it took for Goku.

RIP, Mr. Toriyama. Thank you for the great characters and life lessons. You'll be remembered forever.

"I welcomed it . It seemed fitting. Like it was an outward manifestation of the storm that was raging inside of me"😱. These lines though

When becoming a super saiyan was actually earned Edit: wow almost 7000 likes thanks guys

A lot of ppl miss the spiritual aspect of DBZ. Seems to me the last thing Vegeta had to do wasn’t more training under more gravity but to completely detach from worldly things for a moment. He didn’t care about winning, being better than anyone, nothing at all…it was like the last latch had finally been broken for all that stored potential to unleash…not him crying his way to super Saiyan how most comments make it seem. Vegeta has a rough and very relatable story in terms of being the best version of yourself or being who you think you are destined to be.

It is purely poetic how Vegeta, the one who works the hardest in achieving greater strength, gives up after years of training not caring about anything anymore. Yet, it is when he gives up all he has invested in himself that he achieves Super Saiyan.

This is what annoys me about super. This is how hard vegeta had to struggle to become a super Saiyan and now all the universe 6 Saiyan’s can just do it because of a sensation in their back

I love how Vegeta’s motivation was the pure anger he got by knowing that he would never surpass Goku

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. -Frederick Douglas

Watching this as an adult just hits more cause I sometimes you just have to let things go and get your mind off from it. Then suddenly you achieve set goal cause your mind wasn’t so clouded or distracted, stopping you to win. As kids we were Goku. Growing up, you become more like Vegeta.

I loves how Vegeta describes the storm as: *“An outward manifestation of the storm - raging inside me!”* DBZ WAS SO GREAT MAN And the way he yells out, *“Ka- Koraaat!”*

Whoever is Vegeta's voice actor did a spectacular job. This is incredible

Push through the pain, giving up hurts more. - Vegeta.

This hits different when you're older.

the person writing the dialogues should be given a medal

I'd want Vegeta to tell more stories, he makes it so dramatic XD

RIP Akira Toriyama I wish I could say thank you for creating Vegeta. scenes like this gradually made me realize no matter what demons you're facing, you must learn to face them and use them as motivation to become better.

It’s crazy vegeta was training 500 times gravity before he was a super saiyan, then in the buu saga Pui Pui thought 10x would make a difference 😂

This can be a metaphor for whatever in life. You try to achieve something for years and by letting it go you actually achieve it. I sometimes come back to this video to feel with Vegeta.

"Even the simplest of moves" Does like 5 backflips in a row

This is what I love about the original ssj transformations, they required each sayian to grow some part of themselves. For goku it was his peaceful nature, sure he'd been pissed before but in my favorite rendition of the scene his eyes flash green and he says "I *will* make you suffer!" A darker, more calculated outlook he continued to utilize through the rest of Z when the situation was dire. For vegeta it was his pride, this was the first time he ever set it aside and it paved the way for him to have one of my favorite arcs capping off with his sacrifice, and later speech to goku in the buu saga. For trunks it was losing his mentor, brother figure and possibly only friend, and taking up a mantle that he was absolutely not ready for, but had to because there was no one else who could, and he succeeded. For gohan it was a trial by fire to become a physically and emotionally self sufficient person ... about 9 years too early. The transformation used to be a character growth, not just a power boost, or worse still a "tingle" Also yes, I am aware of how this video is.

This is one of the best scenes of the arc. Vegeta's own rage at himself is what propelled him forward, further contrasting him with Goku's righteous fury over Krillin dying.

I bet the Android is like “ who is this guy talking to?”

I don't understand why super can't be written with this intensity. The fights and animation are great but the passion and energy in the characters have dropped significantly.

Vegeta experienced ego death practically .. damn the dialogue is something else

RIP Akira Toriyama Thank You for creating the greatest gift I’ve ever known

Something about is just better than having tingles in your back

The way that vegita tells this story makes it seem like hes making it all up. Like he probably went super saiyan by accident on the toilet but thought that was too embarrassing.

3:10 the last scream vegeta does sends goosebumps. You can tell that last scream was pure frustration.....

RIP Toriyama this moment was so important to my childhood

Goku had to experience the loss of someone precious to him. Vegeta hadn't cared about anyone else but himself at the time. I think what he lost was himself. In that moment, he lost his sense of purpose; he was done trying to even matter. Watching as a kid, I didn't get scenes like this at all, but as an adult, I really want to get into these characters' heads and figure out what drives them. It makes these stories much more emotional.

“The power comes from a need, not a desire”. “I didn’t care anymore, I didn’t care about being a Super Saiyan, I didn’t care if I LIVED”. And that was the need. Vegeta needed to transform into a Super Saiyan because he needed a reason to live.

Rip Toriyama, you don’t know what this means to me man😭

"I decided to continue my training in the solitude of space, where I would be unhindered by the distractions of the Earth." Like raising a child. Vegeta, father of the year.

This was me trying to find my first job

So basically he became supersaiyan after he stop wanting it so much?That is some enlightenment moment

Akira toriyama really did change the world he inspired so many great authors and influenced anime and manga he’s basically the Stan Lee of Japan without him we wouldn’t have all these amazing series as Naruto or one piece akira started it all he was a legendary story teller my fav works from him are not only dragon ball but also he’s other works like the manga dr slump the dragon quest games and two chrono games dragon quest is a very popular series same as chrono trigger and chrono cross without akira toriyama I doubt those series would be as popular and would be very different he had a very unique style of drawing he’s characters and it was like he made them come to life made the audience feel really connected to he’s characters he will be missed but he’s creation he’s works will live on forever in the form of media games and collections rest in peace the goat the legend Akira Toriyama 😭

Out of all saiyans who went super, Vegeta's was the most unique one. the only person he lost during the transformation is himself while others had to watch their friends die. and it was the most dramatic as well I get goosebumps whenever I watch this scene.

I’m not gonna lie when I seen this as a kid I cried. I was so happy for my guy. Im so emotional 😂

"Power comes in response to a need not a want".

How to become a Super Saiyan according to Vegeta: Try, fail, lose all hope, become suicidal.

forever one of the most underrated and one of my favorite moments in dbz.

"I wanna be a Super Saiyan! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna I wanna I wanna!" "Pushups, sit ups, and PLENTY of juice."

Vegeta represents the majority of people. We can't all be Goku, Broly & Gohan.

Vegeta’s speeches are the best 💯

I decided to rewatch this scene because of DBS: Broly. I noticed how much more impactful his descent into Super Saiyan was than most transformations in the series and started to think about why. I came to realize that the core of Super Saiyan wasn't just rage. What makes Super Saiyan meaningful is grief. At the end of the Namek saga, in History of Trunks, Broly, and even the alternate scenario from DBZ Budoukai all have something more to it than just rage. Broly helped make this especially clear thanks to the Wrathful form. Rage is simply a by-product of Super Saiyan. The trigger behind each of these transformations was grief. Goku transformed due to the permanent loss of Krillin, Trunks lost his mentor, Broly believed he killed his father, and Vegeta grieves Nappa because he sees that Nappa could never go on after Goku brutalized him. But then I thought of this scene and wanted to go back and analyze it in that context. What is Vegeta grieving in this flashback? His entire world. Not his literal entire world, but his entire worldview, his value as a person. Vegeta has been taught that his value lies in his breeding and therefore his strength since he was a child. He was a prodigy among prodigies, and that made him better than everyone else. He's a true Saiyan warrior, the pinnacle of his people, and he should always be proud. Then, Planet Vegeta is destroyed and Vegeta experiences something new. In the Freeza Force, Vegeta is tied for ninth place with fucking Cui. Freeza, Zarbon, and Dodoria treat him like a joke, and Vegeta can't even argue back lest they put him in his place. Vegeta spent 17 years and the better part of his childhood in this environment. He went from being the best to being nothing. So, Vegeta doubled down. He started scheming to beat Freeza and secure his place at the top. Then comes this kid, Raditz's weaker little brother, and he beats Vegeta strength-to-strength somehow. To Vegeta, it confirms everything Freeza ever said about him, and Vegeta can't accept that. So he goes even harder. He'll go right into an active warzone even without his tail just for a chance to get the Dragon Balls and give himself the edge he needs to beat Freeza. Of course, things don't go to plan, and even after all of his RNG manipulation, Vegeta is still powerless against Freeza. In the same spot he's been in all his life, Vegeta cries for the first time in his life, because he's so close yet still so far. Then, Goku becomes a Super Saiyan and seemingly kills Freeza. After that, Trunks shows up, turns Super Saiyan, and actually kills Freeza. Now Vegeta's being outclassed by some kid, too. So, he pushes himself, he keeps going because he can't accept that he doesn't have what it takes. He can't accept that Freeza was right about him. He works himself to the bone, putting himself through a level of training that at this point is basically just torture and isolates himself from positive influences like Bulma. When the meteor shower comes, he's half-broken, trying desperately to hold on, clinging to his lifeline in the ship. But he doesn't have what it takes. His desperation is what shot him in the foot, and that sends Vegeta spiraling. He's on the recieving end of what the Saiyan upper class has put the Saiyan peasantry through for years. Goku just has something he doesn't. Vegeta's at his wall. And he breaks. He stops trying to surpass Kakarot, he admits that he's not who he thought he was, that Freeza's taunts were true. He accepts death because his life the way he's lived it is over. He will never be the best. But that grief sets off something in Vegeta, the true source of his strength. Back in the Namek saga, Freeza laughed that Vegeta could never be a Super Saiyan, he's a pathetic conniving blueblood who thinks he deserves the universe, which held him back from being a Super Saiyan. This moment is Vegeta's first step into moving on from that, and the power that was waiting for this moment breaks out. Vegeta is able to become a Super Saiyan because he lets go. Of course, the rush of power causes him to regress, but it's Vegeta's first step to overcoming his Saiyan pride. It's a perfect part of his character arc, and it's probably the best anime-original content in Dragon Ball.

Vegeta's speeches are so chilling and inspiring! the way he speaks is truly of a prince!

I literally cried when he said "I didn't care anymore... I didn't care about being better than Kakarot, I didn't care about being a super sayan, I didn't care if I LIVED, I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING!!!... BWAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Most emotionally inspiring anime moment in history!

"Then something just snapped , something inside of me" 💀

Christopher Sabat is an absolute master The rage and anguish from him as vegeta finally transforms is absolutely chilling

Gohan: i thought you must have a pure heart in order to become a super saiyan like my dad. Vegeta: oh trust me there is more than just one way to become a super saiyan. Vegeta: i wanna be a super saiyan i wanna i wanna i wanna i wanna.

Vegeta really is a good story teller lol maybe he told trunks a lot of bedtime stories

Remember when becoming a super saiyan was a big deal. Good times

THEN SOMETHING JUST SNAPPED, SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME

at 1:25 Vegeta mentioned he went to space to avoid distractions...im pretty sure he was talking about Bulma lol

Vegeta’s motivation to surpass his rival is so relatable in real life. A lot of us have that instinct to want to be better than someone. Even if Vegeta stayed a true villain instead of turning anti hero many fans would want to see him succeed because we all have a little bit of the saiyan prince in all of us.

RIP Akira Toriyama sense! Thank you

Akira Toriyama gave us the greatest moments ever rest easy

When becoming a super saiyan actually meant something

“I decided to continue my training in the solitude of space, where I would be unhindered by the distractions of the Earth”. So basically he’s saying he was starting to spend more time hooking up with Bulma than actually training.

2:51 the feeeeels such a good voice actor

Rip Goat this shit means something to me man😭

Becoming a super saiyan was nearly impossible back then.

I’m kind of annoyed of how we went from this story of how Vegeta became a super saiyan then to how caulifla describes the tingly feeling in her back then instantly becomes a super saiyan

Distractions of the earth= banging Bulma lol

Even tho is just Vegeta telling a story but it is a very motivated story to let us know that if you really dream of something in life you got to work your ass off!

2:51 I wanna be a Super Saiyan, i wanna i wanna i wanna :c

"And then it happened...I felt this tingle in the middle of my back". "And that's how I became a Super Saiyan".

Sometimes the power to let go of the things that restrain us is ascension in itself...

“Where I would be unhindered by the distractions of the earth” A.K.A Bulma’s sex drive or constant desire to “hang out” with him

Imagine working hard for years, almost give up on living, and finally you achieved super sayian....but then some kids came alone and become super sayian after feeling something in their back

Vegeta and Trunks had the best transformations. Vegeta was fighting for his life against nature, and he won. He pushed himself to near death in his training, and has earned every bit of power.

When i was child, prince vegeta was my favorite calculator and when I grew up I found myself not strong enough to face this life, not strong enough to face the ppl who hate me, but I learned something from my past, I remember that i was watching DBZ and prince vegeta was my favorite calculator and I learned from him that I can’t stay in the same level all my life, I learned i have to become more higher more experience from everything, I learned that i have to never give up….. Then finally i become in the level that i can face everything alone, and I’m still on it to become more higher. That’s what princess vegeta want us to learn . Thanks to the king vegeta .♥️

*“The power comes in response to a need, not a desire.”*

Vegeta over here getting deep Vegeta: I texted her and she didn't reply.. a day later she finally did! Her: Heyyy wanna hang out this weekend? Vegeta: No I don't care anymore and now she wants ME more than ever!

Right when he was ready 2 give up he went Gold 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Saw this 18yr ago and I still get chills and at times tears watching it. The work. The dedication. Perseverance. Fail time and again and keep getting back up. Vegeta is the og! 😂

Vegeta is THE quintessential anti-hero. The proof is right here in this scene. Vegeta shows to whoop the enemy's ass and all of the heros are shaking and worried LOL I love DBZ man

“Oh trust me, there is more than one way to realize the legend.” “I WANNA BE A SUPER SAIYAN! I WANNA, I WANNA, I WANNA, I WANNA!” “Push ups, sit ups, and plenty of juice.”

Watching this while drinking my pre workout before the gym hits hard.

He basically gave up his pride & sense of self & that's what took him to the next level.

This is how life is. You want something so bad for so long. And just as you are giving up on that dream, life gives it to you. This is what I like about Dragon Ball; it is simple, but full of lessons from even our daily life.
