Vegeta has not gotten a single win against any major villain, and only ever appears to be humiliated in some shape or fashion against them instead.
I'd like to know why?

Because he's not the main character?
To put it bluntly this is not the "Kakaroth and Vegeta show", he's important but still a secondary character compared to Goku.

The real answer is Toriyama hated him originally, but couldn't keep him dead because he got insanely popular and eventually he came around on him(unlike Yamcha), which is why he gets a bit more respect Buu Saga and onward.

Gohan managed to kill Cell only because Goku held his hand and told him "It's ok, Son, I am with you even if dead", while Future Trunks killed a patched Frieza that plot wise would have lost even against Yaozi at that point.
They simply did someting Goku could have accomplished quite easily.

You can probably headcanon Goku was knocked out before he could power up into SSJ4 and didnt use it later because God was superior and didnt change his body as drastically.

True. Nothing would change since god forms and UI would still be the main forms. Goku didn't even bother trying to go blue in the other super saiyan forms unless you count SSR3 Goku Black from heroes.

Toriyama repeatedly went on record saying he didn't like Vegeta, while he's a huge fan of Goku. Vegeta just became too popular for him to kill off. Even if he had tried again, his editor probably wouldn't have let him. I imagine that fostered some resentment towards the character, and given how petty Toriyama was known to be that manifested as Vegeta constantly be Worfed in the most humiliating way possible, usually to make Goku look that much better. Even as recently as Daima, Vegeta was finally given Super Saiyan 3 in a questionably canon capacity, something Vegetafags have been screaming for for years, only to immediately job and get outshone by Goku debuting the new version of Super Saiyan 4 that he apparently somehow partially unlocked while training and just didn't tell anyone.
Vegeta was a victim of his own popularity and his mangaka's petty nature.
>>
>>281860049
Gohan was built up as the new MC from almost the beginning of the Z era, even though that ended up not happening.
Freeza himself only showed up at the beginning of the Android arc for Trunks to effortlessly kill the previous big bad and then immediately tell Goku the people he's up against make Freeza look like nothing. Trunks himself was used as a plot device there along with Freeza.
>>
>>281859987
It doesn't have to be like that tho. Practically all other major shounen manga/anime give their important secondary cast big wins. Be it One Piece, Naruto, Bleach etc. Hell, even fucking Kuwabara gets some major Ws in YYH. And it's not even that Vegeta is some minor supporting character, he's practically been the deuteragonist ever since the Cell arc ended.
Also, most of the hate GT received was precisely due to it being "The Goku Show."

That looks like a fun Halloween idea, but they messed up the tail. A Saiyans tail is either wrapped around their waist or loose.
>>
>>281865219
I think Toriyama is a fucking faggot for hating Vegeta but I can also kind of understand why he treated the character as he did.
I would honestly probably do the same as an author if a character I hated and didn't plan on having around for long became too popular to remove from the story.

I also think he was a faggot and that Vegeta is generally speaking a much more interesting character than Goku, at least at first and especially as a deuteragonist/antihero.
I think Toriyama probably felt that the way Vegeta went out on Namek was a really good way to end his narrative, which to be fair I agree with, and then essentially being forced to undo that likely really annoyed him.
>>
>>281865219
>>281865667
The thing is Toriyama used to hate Vegeta but that was back when he was drawing the series
He mellowed out over time and Vegeta ended up as one of his favorite characters during the revival era, so it's weird to see him still treat Vegeta with humiliation and disdain despite him being one of his favorites
>>
>>281866100
Old habits die hard I guess. Toriyama was an old man, and old men tend to be creatures of habit. I imagine it's probably even more pronounced in a place like Japan, where routine and habit are seen as the mark of a successful, disciplined person.
>>
>>281862373
Canon SSJ4 needs tail or magic to transform. Can't transform anymore because the magic wore off.
>source: my headcanon

>>281866245
That's probably the best way to do it if you're trying to put Daima and Super into one continuity. I expected them to mention Goku only being able to use SS4 so well because they were in the Demon Realm.

Correct, vegeta death in namek was perfect, the editors clearly forced him to bring him back due to his popularity but toriyama didnt have any plans for him and the fans/editorial keep requesting for more vegeta and toriyama doesnt like being told what to do.
What else can you do with vegeta if not a repetition of namek? Vegeta is cocky but butthurt at goku, he betrays or fucks everything up and then gets a humble pie by the antagonist.
The only interesting was his apology to gohan and his final dialogue at the end of the cell saga, otherwise he is boring.

Toriyama has said Piccolo is one of his favorites since forever, and after his fight with 17, Piccolo has been a jobber and the butt of jokes up until Super Hero powered him up. So Vegeta still being treated like a jobber isn't surprising.

Because Dragonball isn't an ensemble cast show, it stars Goku (and Gohan once since Toriyama wanted to do a passing of the torch but then gave up).

It's not like Vegeta is the only character in this situation. It only stands out due to modern DB pushing him as Goku's rival who's almost always around his level, but they had no intention to actually make him the lead over Goku.

Major understatement, Cell not only intentionally took the hit but also dropped all ki protections while doing so AND willingly let himself experiance the pain of dismemberment and exposed nerves to truly sell it. He had to put on an Oscar performance to make sure he could truly shatter Vegeta's ego.
>>

It might sound a bit odd but one of the worst things a villain can do imo is to up and kill their minions for no discernible reason.

It's a double edged sword though. On one hand I should be happy someone like Spopovich is killed because of what he did to Videl, but on the other hand, I can only think "Man, how evil must Babidi be if he did THAT?"

>>281892659
It's also just retarded from a position of pragmatism. They really drove that point home with Freeza vs Cooler. Freeza ruled through fear alone, nobody actually respected him except maybe Captain Ginyu, because he treated his minions like shit and routinely murdered them for arbitrary reasons. Whereas Cooler treated his Armored Squadron like employees and even offered to step in when they weren't strong enough to handle someone instead of just killing them like Freeza likely would have.

You know what I realised? If you were to turn the original manga into a movie series, it'd probably look something like this:
1.Pilaf
2. First Tournament
3. Red Ribbon
4. Second Tournament
5. Piccolo Sr.
6. Piccolo Jr.
7. Saiyans
8. Namek
9. Androids/Cell
10. Majin Boo

Do you see it? The latter two thirds of the manga would be shorter in movie form.

Whoever hasn't been in charge for the last 10 years. I will support anyone who hasn't been in creative control since before 2014. I heard Iyoku suggested Super Broly (the best thing DBS ever produced) and making Super Saiyan 4 canon, so I like him, even if Toriyama and Toyotaro COMPLETELY FUCKED UP the canon SSJ4 idea. I can't fault Iyoku for the poor execution. But I'm not sure if or when he's had any real creative control. Who was showrunning and manga writing for Heroes? Heroes was fuckin' exciting. They were better utilizing DBS characters than DBS was. We never would've seen Zamasu run hands with Jiren without Heroes.

I wish they would just reboot and do another Buu Saga sequel that pulls from the best of everything. I don't think you can un-fuck-up Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, or Freeza as characters anymore.

Your comparision makes no sense.
Bulma and Yamcha have canonically been a couple for years. And since they both are stable and healthy adults they might have done it.
For Chchi you just wrote random names of people with few of them she doesn't even know.

I think if an adult couple is together for years it's safe to assume they had sex. It's not like they were Christfags observing abstinence

They were together for years, lived in the same house and both Yamcha and Bulma were a horndog. Do you really think Bulma is the type of person to be in that type of position and still wait for marriage or something?

I really hate how Toei destroyed Chi Chi's character
In the manga she's understandably upset at Gohan being kidnapped and forced to train and fight, but really after Namek she mellows the fuck out and all she ever asks if for them to be safe.
But Toei Chi Chi is just constant "GRRRR I'M ANGRY AND NOBODY LIKES ME AND I'M LOUD AND GRRRRRRRRR FUCK YOU GOKU YOU STUPID FAGGOT GRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

Exhibition #5: The Guinness World Record PR Stunt
Source: Guinness Record announcement (2015)
Claim: One Piece was recognized for "Most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author"
Total: 320,866,000 copies
As of: December 2014

BUT, here's the kicker: Dragon Ball was already confirmed at 350M+ copies in 2008. That's six years earlier than One Piece's 320M. But Dragon Ball was not even mentioned in Guinness, even though it had already crushed that number.

The record is only for 'same comic book series by a single author", meaning Dragon Ball qualified 100% (Toriyama is the sole author of the original 42 volumes). So why wasn't Dragon Ball ever submitted or entered into the record?

Exhibition #7: Jump Circulation Collapse Post-DB
Chart: Weekly Jump Sales 1995-2005
After DB ended in 1995, Weekly Jump lost 2 million+ circulation in 2 years
Slam Dunk ends later, but the fall began with DB
Jump never recovered from the fallout of DB ending. It was the pillar that kept Jump together, this is statistical proof

Exhibition #8: Nikkan Sports from 2012
Claim: Dragon Ball's collected volumes have sold over 350 million copies worldwide
Significance: Published by a major Japanese newspaper, not as part of an ad campaign or promotional push m but as a factual background blurb within a baseball article
Impact: Demonstrates mainstream media acknowledgment of 350M long before Shueisha started using the 260M lowball. This cannot be hand-waved as a "marketing exaggeration."

Exhibition #9: Marble-Plus from 2005
Translation 1: "In Denmark's book sales rankings, a Japanese manga has sold more than world-famous authors like J.K. Rowling and Dan Brown."
Significance: That's Dragon Ball outselling even HARRY POTTER in a European market during the height of the Pottermania. You never hear Shueisha flexing that in public.
Translation 2: "Dragon Ball has sold about 1.5 million copies in Denmark alone."
That's just Denmark. One country. Now imagine what that means across Europe, LATAM, SEA, etc and it’s consistent with the 140 million overseas sales already confirmed in 2005 by multiple other sources.
Translation 3: "Worldwide, Dragon Ball has already sold more than 300 million copies." BOOM. Here's the real nuke. In 2005, this article cites Dragon Ball's global sales as over 300 million copies once again confirming the "260M" stat was already outdated. Shueisha has never publicly acknowledged the true sales figures since last then. Dragon Ball was crushing global markets BEFORE the internet was even commonplace.

That includes international sales up to 2005. Which, by the way, debunks Shueisha's 260M figures, because: 160M + 140M = 300M

Dragon Ball made $30 billion by 2004
Estimated $45-$50 billion revenue today in 2025 which puts Dragon Ball in the top 10 richest media franchise next to Pokemon, Hello Kitty, Star Wars, Winnie-the-Pooh, Mickey Mouse, etc. It's also the ONLY shounen manga-born IP in the global top 10
Dragon Ball is richer than One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and pretty much every single WSJ manga combined

Exhibition #12: Shueisha's cold and dismissive treatment of Toriyama's death
Torishima, Toriyama's first editor, doesn't speak lightly of Shueisha failing to pay tribute to Toriyama. No memorial. No symbolic gesture. No farewell message. Even the most basic tribute, like Goku's iconic goodbye pose or a commemorative panel on the Jump Building, wasn't done to honor the man who:
>Saved Weekly Jump in the 1980s and 1990s
>Helped build Shueisha's global manga empire
>Inspired generations of creators
>Was the very foundation of modern shounen
And he was given nothing by the people he made rich. Meanwhile, fans around the world, cities in Spain, Mexico, France, and even football and baseball games paid tribute. Yet Shueisha, the ones who profited most from him, stayed silent.

And finally... Exhibition #13: Wikipedia (Ongoing)

Source: Wikipedia's article for Dragon Ball
Claim: "The total number of tankōbon volumes sold have reached 350 million copies worldwide, not including unofficial pirated copies. When including pirated copies, an estimated total of more than 400 million official and unofficial copies have been sold worldwide."
Significance: Wikipedia's citations come from multiple Japanese and international reliable publications, including Oricon, Nikkei, and Fuji TV. This section remains undisputed and consistently maintained, further solidifying the claim in front of millions of global readers.
Impact: This directly destroys the myth that Dragon Ball's official sales are "unconfirmed." Even Wikipedia, which often plays it safe by avoiding fan speculation, openly cites the 350M+ figure and even acknowledges pirate copies pushing it past 400M.
Bonus killshot: Dragon Ball is not just 350M. The sentence adds that pirated + unofficial versions push the number past 400 million, which could realistically be between 450-600M when you factor in global bootlegs, unlicensed reprints, and digital fan scans that existed long before Jump even pushed digital platforms.

And with that said, here comes the math, because facts don't care about Shueisha's PR campaigns.
>Dragon Ball
Volumes: 42
Confirmed sales (2008-2013): 350M
Projected (2025): 450-495M
>Per volume average
Low estimate (450M ÷ 42): 10.71M
High estimate (495M ÷ 42): 11.78M
Pirated copies included (600M ÷ 42): 14.28M
And even if we stay with the old confirmed figure then 350M ÷ 42 = 8.33M per volume (already monstrous)

Meaning... DB has the highest per volume sales average of any manga in history and is the best-selling comic of all time (pirates included). Shueisha HATES that, because it makes every single Jump manga look smaller by comparison, especially One Piece when people still prefer a 40 year old manga that ended 30 years ago.
