Vegeta should have just finished Cell off right away, then made his way back to the lookout, barge into the time chamber and assert himself as the strongest in the universe by killing Goku. That would've been awesome....
Oh yeah, so hard he pops a blood vessel, then gets smacked. But, that’s what happens when the creator of the series hates you more than any other character he made 🤷♂️
@@qlowkeyt I don’t think I hate him, I just heavily disagree with him. He says he hates the character for how he acts and the way he is, but it’s like..bruh you wrote him to be that way. You designed him. How are you gonna hate him? 🤣
it is indeed a nice one, but i believe the most notorious is when he gives a monologue for goku and concludes it by saying hes number one by the climax of majin boo saga
+LitlleponeyDIn this scene of DBZA, Vegeta is making fun of Trunk's hair. It was, to put it bluntly, stupid and unfunny. The above comment is far more funny and tasteful.
Vegeta has such a good work ethic. He trains hard for 7 years after cell. I feel like he trains harder than Goku, who seems to just have superior genetics for strength and size.
Nolen Elam that's almost directly hinged on Vegeta's pride, but true. Every moment he has, he trains. Goku will either eat, or be a dad, or a husband. Or eat. Vegeta always hits the iron
Nolen Elam IMO Vegeta is more genetically superior; and it is implied, as he was an elite born. I do agree though that he trains harder than Goku. Vegeta is a great combination of work ethic + talent. The thing is, Goku has had many mentors and that’s how he develops so fast, whereas Vegeta was more used to training and learning alone at this time. We seldom do see Goku ‘being a dad’ though, most of the time that he is, it’s in movies or filler.
remember when vegeta and trunks were flying over some ocean, vegeta remarks in his head: i still cant believe he could be a super saiyan at that age. then again, he is MY son. with a smirk on his face
The best part about Cell's reaction, is that this version of Cell killed the Trunks of his timeline. Cell seeing him back alive and stronger than him now terrifies him.
@@okami6ix629 actually this cell came from a different timeline. in the normal timeline they specifically destroy gero´s secret basement to prevent another cell
The first glimmer of love Vegeta shows for his son, this is the only time in my memory where Vegeta recognizes someone else's power and is happy about it. Usually he's either begrudgingly accepting the truth or in desperate denial when another warrior comes around rivaling his own power, but Trunks is the one guy he's genuinely happy about being a rival to him in power.
Well, it's a very subtle love, but I'm sure Vegeta felt some pride at Trunks for blasting him away when they were fighting about letting Cell become perfect. He felt like Trunks was weak emotionally and wouldn't dare attack his father, but Trunks showed he was willing to do what it takes to get what he wants. Of course he immediately gets pissed afterwards because it's stopping him from getting what HE wants, but at least Trunks stepped up.
“Vegeta acknowledges Trunks as his son and his power.” Trunks’ face was epic! He was all “Fuckin A Right Cell! The son of the Saiyan Prince right here, bitch!”
For Vegeta to say that about Trunks in front of Cell, you know Trunks must've showed him some sick abilities in the hyperbolic time chamber, and made an incredible impression on him.
I feel Vegeta could only bring himself to say something like this in front of Cell or anyone else if a) he was easily winning the fight (which he was) and feeling good about himself b) he made sure to reinforce that he is still the stronger of the 2 lol.
k tiamou Not exactly, Trunks realized that after fighting Cell that Vegeta purposely transformed the way he was because it still gave him some speed, because whats the point in being the strongest if you cant touch your target and Vegeta knew that so he balanced it out. The proof is when Goku does it in the time chamber and gohan says "wow you have the strength to beat cell" and goku said its not good enough, that he needs that strength plus equal speed not just the power. Vegeta knew that
Trunks said while Vegeta was fighting Cell that when he and Vegeta were training in the time chamber, Vegeta had plateaued and he had surpassed him. Trunks initially had the necessary speed and absurd power but he was able to sustain it.
impuredeath2 Actually, this kinda' sounds...pretty damn emotional ! :(' And most when it cames from a dad like this one is...just such an honour he barely allows to people even from its own family...
@@Android_17_ It is explained that ssj grade 3 (super trunks) is a very inneffective transformation, it's also stated that vegeta could have used that transformation but didn't due to the drawbacks in speed and he just opted to use ssj grade 2 (super vegeta)
John Adams He was just making a joke. Like a joke you might see out of DBZ abridged where they reference the fact they're actually in a TV show. When Piccolo tells Raditzs the viewers aren't aware of what race Piccolo is when he calls him a namekian. "Actually that.. hasn't been explained yet." This guy's joke is the same in the sense that Vegeta can hear the music and tracks for the show and saying fuck it when they play a very misplaced track. It was a joke, my man. Sorry for the long explanation but I do agree Vegeta's themes are badass and very fitting for his character. The theme played in this clip is Hell's Bells. He has a super Saiyan theme and a new God theme. All of them are hard as a mofo.
@@Ichigo4girls lol, yeah really well summarized. it's his son so he wouldn't be happy if he was weak, all parents are proud to say to someone they child is superior
@@tdizz88 well in the buu saga when talking about goten and trunks in the tournament vegeta tells goku that goten is pretty much screwed against trunks. That's a pretty good complement coming from vegeta. He was taking pride in trunks strength
How easily I forget that Vegeta said this.... to even draw attention to another Saiyan is out of character for him, but you can tell he's brimming with pride that his son is a powerful warrior just like himself...even if he never said it outright. A very subtle bit of dialogue which shows his cold heart beginning to thaw.
Plot twist, vegeta took ecstacy and was hallucinating and pointig to an empty space thinking his son trunks was standing there, cell was Confused as fuck and ergo his reaction "no, how can this be"
+warren010h Not really, he thought he was but as soon as he surpassed vegeta in strength his speed decreased and the form he reached was useless. So he was about equal to vegeta
now this is why i like the old school animation. looks good and they actually draw them buff where in super their necks look like they will snap from holding their big heads.
The animation over the cell saga really engrained dbz in my brain forever. Vegetas glow was just of the charts here and I remember this scene vividly after 15 years
+PalPlays Greedy= Hunger to satisfy his pride. Worth mentioning selfishness as well as it works well here. He had already bested Cell but wanted to double his victory- and found himself in over his head once again.
I had initially thought Trunks was the strongest Saiyan of all up until that moment and of course Gohan being the one to defeat Cell. To this day they don't really explain whether Goku or Vegeta is truly the strongest Saiyan. It's still somewhat of a mystery.
But logically trunks was stronger than vegeta here. Let's not forget that trunks had super saiyan way longer than vegeta, and the fact that he's a hybrid saiyan meaning he has more potential than vegeta, he practically one shotted Frieza and his father with no difficulty, where as vegeta at that time would've been killed. To finally top it off he did the same amount of training vegeta did in the hyperbolic time chamber, so trunks should get greater results just like Gohan when he trained with Goku.
@@DMXtremeOnPc nope. Not true, lol you're aware that vegeta sometimes overestimates his power or he's too arrogant at times to know when he's outmatched, just like him with perfect cell, and he lost in two shots from cell because of it, trunks however his raw power had surpassed him at this time when he fought cell and even performed better against the cell jrs
Ding ding ding 😂😂😂 got my childhood heroes all fkd up. 1s turned into a complete softee while the other 1 is as dumb as ever. Not to mention genius prodigy Gohan was downgraded to "hey if we stand in the middle we can't get kicked off"
Ever see the scene in DBZ Abridged when Vegita uses Final Flash on Cell? It doesn't work, of course, but he actually had some pretty good lines, and the music is epic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ng4FOZ244dM.html Another great one is when Trunks fights cell: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Meyd0Uq4qpA.html ...even if both are destined to fail (because Toriyama loves Goku/Gohan), the music and fights are pretty epic.
"Allow me to introduce you to my son.His name is Trunks.He too is a true Super Sayain.He is not quite as strong as I am,but it would be hard to tell the difference between us.He has incredible power." Vegeta is a proud father...and this is the best day of trunks life...
The irony. I had some friend tell me how just DBS:Broly was better than DBZ. I showed him the similarity of the Super Vegeta shot and the one from the Broly movie and he just shut up
I love how he isn't saying his feelings, but you can hear the pride he has for Trunks in his voice...he's always been so great about saying a lot without actually saying anything or much at all.
I'd really like to know where they were getting the Saiyan armor from... like how was Vegeta getting his hands on NEW armor from a race of people that were wiped out?
Trunks spent years growing up afraid, desperate, feeling of powerlessness to the androids....spent one year with dad and doesn't give 2 shit about cell androids cause he can kill them in his sleep 😂😂😂😂😂
Are you kidding me, there is a huge difference. Not to mention they changed his hair color for no reason. I am really liking super but they do shit sometimes you're just like why??
@@KrelosWanchez Even before he maxed himself out by powering up, he still did a distantly better job fighting Perfect Cell than Vegeta. Trunks was definitely stronger at this time.
The cell saga is one of the best character development in anime history , I remember the feeling watching this as a kid , I have hope for everyone ,that time when picolo fused with kami , when Tien suprised everyone , hope for Bulma figuring this all out , hope for krillin to save the day , hope for vegeta defeating cell , hope for trunks, 16 exploding cell , except for yamcha , he's pretty much useless in the saga .
Dawill44 I know. One of the reasons its hard for me to like Super is because I feel like I'm watching an entirely different show. Do ya get what I'm throwing down?
Vegeta has _always_ loved his son.Even if it was the smallest sliver, he loved him.He proved it when Trunks "died" by cell when he came back.If cell in second form had killed trunks(which isn't possible I'm making an assumption) then Vegeta would've gone ham on cell like when Bulma got slapped by Beers/Bills
remember when they were flying to find android gero? vegeta was thinkin to himself: i still cant believe he could be a ssj at that age! then again, he IS my son. LMAO
I really like how buffed up Vegeta is shown here with all that muscles and stuff. Really fits a warrior not like in Dragonball Super where he looks like a child
LegendarY 2B No he wasn't... Trunks was actually stronger.. He even mentions that.. And so does krillen.. The only reason he got beaten is, he went too far ahead and bulked up his body.. So he was little dumb..
krillin ?? not exatly he said that what trunks told him cuz in the end when cell tells him this trunks changes his mind : CELL:EVEN IF VEGETA DONE THAT I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TRUNKS:WHAA , OO OF COURSE MY FATHER COULD DO IT BUT HE KNOWS HIS LIMITS
No krillen notices first .. In the beginning ... Before vegeta gets whooped.. Krillen tells trunks that cell is putting out only a fraction of what he really is, just like trunks.. And then trunks reveals it In the end cell tells him that even vegeta had figured out the limitations.. Which trunks didn't .. But if he hadnt pumped up his muscles and had retained his original powered up form he had at the beginning of his fight, he would still be stronger than vegeta
He was between super sayin 1 and 2 here. That makes you buff. Actually if you become super sayin2 you become smaller. Look At majin vegeta, he was smaller. Trunks was the same in this scene actually, only he pushed the buffness even further and became very slow and lost to cell.
+PermanentHigh It has an in-universe explanation. They stopped increasing their muscle mass because it made them too slow. They instead increase muscle density and have stronger ki control
Mad how.. Vegeta couldve ended the whole cell saga had he put his pride aside and destroyed cell in his weaker forms..but his pride got the best of him...i guess.. he doesn't get much shine anyway..might as well make the most of the opportunities where Goku isn't around..
