It was cope with being the last survivor, at that point mourning them wouldn't accomplish anything nor would letting frieza use it against him

Bejita didn't want to be a breeding stud. He could have had the whole Earth to himself, like Nappa suggested, but he didn't want his superpowered offspring to overthrow him. That wouldn't have happened if he had some pureblood Saiyan women, but I imagine he'd have felt the same way with them too, not wanting any risk that somebody stronger than him could exist

It never got explained why he went ahead and did it anyway, with Bulma of all people

He lives on the same planet as Goku, how hard can one man cope? Saiyans are kind of stupid, if Frieza hadn't come along they'd have eaten one another eventually. Did they even know how to operate the high technology of the Truffles they conquered? How did the Truffles even develop if they cohabitated with Saiyans who turned into king kongs every few weeks? Did they just not do that until way later for some reason?

Bejita looks cool when he's small, but he's the most powerful guy in the room. Toriyama was fond of this, that everybody else was huge, but there was that one little guy who was deceptively strong. He did it a few times in the series. Bejita, Freeza, Kid Buu, Gohan, even Goku at the start when he was a kid. The problem is when the short guy isn't that strong and the big guys are stronger than him. And when the little guy is getting his ass kicked by the big guy, then it just looks like slapping a toddler. This happens to Bejita a lot, since he long since lost his throne as the strongest guy around
>>
>>223892329
Toriyama wanted to bring DB back to wacky hijinks with the Great Saiyaman arc but the fans wanted fights back, so he took out his anger on Gohan.
Same reason why Goten+Trunks are silly fucks even when the fate of the planet is on the line.

Terrible. This was just Toei jerking these two off. In the manga, it wasn't even a focus. Goku wasn't smirking and enjoying the battle. He was tolerating it because Bejita didn't give him a choice, since he was having a melty and murdering civies until he got his way. And Goku only put up with it for so long before he had enough and told Bejita to stop because Majin Buu was going to be awakened and he could feel how powerful he was

Peak Bejita was Supa Bejita

Majin V is actually always been weird to me, borrowed powers, like another anon said, and just in general being manipulated to fight Goku makes the entire fight underwhelming
This is a man with a wife and kid on Earth now, it's shameful for him to basically be hypnotized into doing all this because he once sought power. Basically character assassination. It's sad that Vegeta fans are so desperate for a fight he doesn't get his ass kicked in that they love this moment so much

Toriyama's narrative reason why Bejita gave up and just took power where he could, was when he caught a quick glimpse of Goku's true power, when Goku was fighting that light eating monster in Babidi's ship. Bejita had trained non-stop for seven years, according to Bulma. He worked really hard, even got himself a family like Goku did, so he had something to protect. By all accounts, he should be on par with Goku at the very least by now. Bejita thought so himself, which was why he was so eager for that fight with Goku at the tournament. He thought it would be a pretty good battle and he may actually win it

When Bejita saw that fight with Goku powering up to overwhelm the monster though, that's when he realized that the power gap between him and Goku was like a chasm. There was no possible way for him to close it by any normal means, so that only left taking power from some other source to bolster his own. Also, by this point in the story, SSJ3 wasn't even a thing yet, so the power Bejita was sensing from Goku wasn't even the new form, it was just Goku being absurdly powerful, but with the same tools Bejita had

The battle between them wasn't meant to be a grand fight, which is why Toriyama spent only a handful of panels on it. The dialogue between Bejita and Goku was really the meat and potatoes of it, then Bejita going off to die. If Toriyama just left that send-off alone, it would have been fine, but then his sacrifice didn't even kill Majin Buu, then he brought Bejita back, then Toei pushed him to bring the rivalry back with Bejita constantly trying to get stronger later, despite Bejita admitting it wasn't possible for him to overcome Goku

>Having friends and family and the power of friendship and so-on doesn't actually give birth to an absolute power you can use to cudgel your enemies with
>Power alone is power and you either have it or you don't

How come this revelation of Bejita's didn't carry into Super? The whole plot at the end of the Tournament of Power was Jiren, who had total and seemingly unbeatable power, had to learn that "well ackchyually ... the power of friendship is stronger". Jiren's whole life was lived with the correct understanding that "power is everything", which was exactly what Bejita learned at the end of the manga

Even when Toriyama was alive, things weren't too much better. Daima was ultra shit and Toriyama's old editor, Kazuhiko Torishima, came forward to talk about how it was just trash and brought nothing compelling into the series

The longer the series goes, the more it is clear that unless you have somebody whipping the retards, especially the "how about more hair colors to sell toys?" ones, then the story will always fall apart
>>
>>223897925
Toriyama didn't care about Dragon Ball and neither should you.
>>
>>223896533

Saiyaman slice-of-Gohan was pretty nice and Toriyama would have liked to keep making it, but the problem was, the target audience at the time wanted more tournaments and more world ending threats to be overcome. They didn't want Gohan's high school romance and school related fitting in issues

Eventually Toriyama realized this and just brought Goku back out of nowhere, in a conversation between Gohan and Bejita, talking about going to the new tournament together. It would have actually been really neat to see Gohan spending more time with Bejita, as a sort of replacement father figure, to add to his collection of replacement father figures alongside Piccolo Jr. Bejita wanted to fight Gohan in the tournament, so that would have given them a lot of time to talk along the way. Wasted opportunity in favor of more waku waku

You fundamentally don't understand Dragon Ball if you think this devalues Goku's victory.

Neither Bejita nor Toriyama think either of these fights were wins for the B. It's pure cope.

We have no idea what the hell they're doing over there as far as the manga is concerned. The one shot Toyo released last year said To Be Continued at the end, and he left that vague update on his xitter page. Surely they'll bring it back at some point but who knows when.

He made a bunch of cool cars and ships and things for Daima, but Toei didn't know what to do with them.

520 weekly chapters would take a toll on anyone on its own, but yeah people tend to forget that he had other serials before then, too. Plus he was doing doing concept art for all the Dragon Quest games and was one of the lead designers for Chrono Trigger. It's really impressive that he pulled all of that off.

I really wish they hit this point harder.
Vegeta's entire character arc in Super is "I must be stronger than Kakarot!" despite having resolved this arc at the end of Z.
They should have leaned more on an "I want my family and loved ones to rely on me as much as they do Kakarot", then it becomes less about chasing power levels and learning to become a reliable emotional figure in his family's life, where his evil past can haunt him, keeping his family from ever truly trusting him with their lives.
Would have been a peak arc.

not sure where vegeta after z could have gone in like a narratively cohesive way

he kinda threw everything away to get 1 more shot at kakarotto but then blew it so it was all for naught. he did seem to love his family to some extent but he seemed unsure how much. he had nothing but bittersweetness left at his time of death

after the dust settled i think he would've become aimless and pretty ashamed over his chimp out, and maybe become a druk or something until the next big bad forced him to give a shit again. maybe at that point he would be allowed to actually be sort of useful despite being weaker, since he would no longer be hampered by his ego and he would just be full of murderous, pragmatic rage like trunks

>>
>>223902041
I think they should have tried to give Vegeta the Super Saiyan God ability at the start of Super, and have it fail because he is not pure of heart.
And that becomes his moment of "oh shit, I need to fix my life. When the life of my family was on the line, I couldn't do the transformation necessary to fight Beerus."
So he spends all of Super trying to be pure of heart.

What an asspull of a universe. Then god (not king kai who is somehow supergod) dies and takes the dragonballs with him so you just go get another of his kind to make more.
Can ALL Namekians make sets of dragonballs if they're trained in how to do it or whatever? Why wasn't Namek lousy with dragonballs, hundreds of dragons granting wishes all the time. Maybe you'd get them mixed up if they all looked the same.
>>
>>223902158
>So he spends all of Super trying to be pure of heart.
hes already stated to be sort of trying to do that since the cell saga and up until the buu saga, and his frustrations with it is what lead up to him chimping out

maybe he could be barred from becoming super saiyan god because he's a shithead, but at that point i think he would just think "figures" and not think too much of it

imo the only thing that could spur vegeta into becoming an actual good person is him hitting rock bottom and having losing his values on account of losing himself. like if he were to see his family as something he would want to keep alive just because it's the right thing to do and not as a ploy to get more powerful, then i think you could take him seriously as a very troubled good guy

Sacrificing his life to kill Buu is definitely a big point, but he literally killed a huge number of innocent people at the Tournament just an hour before. Not really a good stride.
>maybe he could be barred from becoming super saiyan god because he's a shithead, but at that point i think he would just think "figures" and not think too much of it
It has to come from Bulma or Trunks. She has to scold him and recoil at his failure, call him unreliable and shame him in front of everyone, and then turn to Goku. That would drive him to be better than Goku, not power-level-wise, but morally and as an emotional rock.
That way, you get the same rivalry between Goku and Vegeta, but it is shifted in a way to not be repetitive as Z.
>>
>>223902328
i could see a reformed and less retarded vegeta resenting goku not for being stronger, but for not applying his greater strength in sensible ways (and for reminding vegeta of his own retarded behavior in the past that he has since come to regret)
>>
>>223901854
Vegeta was raised as a merciless killing machine from a race of merciless killing machines. It makes no sense for him to turn out like Goku in the end relying on the power of friendship and be haunted by the evil he did. He’s totally self absorbed.

Bejita got served hard by Jiren, so he's monke-seeing monke-doing what he saw Jiren do in the tournament and that's a shitload of meditating. Goku got his anus hollowed out by Jiren too, so the fact that he doesn't recognize what Bejita is trying to emulate, is really baffling. And he never figures it out either. Bejita has to manually tell him "This is what Jiren was doing, retard."

Well he does, by the end of the manga, anyway. He looks like a family man with no real interest in Goku or fighting with him. He doesn't keep in contact with him, he doesn't talk to him. Bulma has to go out of her way to talk to Goku and that was after seven years. The series ends with Goku flying off with his new pet jeet and Bejita doesn't care. Whatever hang-ups he had, he let go of some time ago

Toriyama however did add an extra panel at the end of the manga years later, for the 2004 Kanzenban edition of the manga: that has Bejita stewing about becoming stronger than Goku. In the original ending, it was just a goodbye page from Toriyama, but this panel got added on, for whatever reason

So. There's this entire thing about villains. It's like... a really important, like super important thing about villains who get a redemption arc.
They have to actually... work at it. Like they have to work. They have to work to earn it. By working on themselves. So that they aren't such a horrible rotten shit anymore.
And you might notice about Vegeta that where he begins (in the pic in the OP) is not where he ends up. He learns through his redemption arc how much of a weak piece of shit he used to be, and he works to become a better man. And in that process, he begins to care about the planet and his pals and he gains a new understanding of his parents, including how limited and flawed they were which is why he was the way he used to be.
Yeah. So. Vegeta might have been "based" in the sense that he was an egotistical piece of shit. But being "based" is not a good basis for any fucking thing.

Yeah ok, Goku, sure he can't. Also, is it ever clarified if Bejita got his SSJ2 transformation due to Babadi's power, or did he already have it? If he already had it, what sort of power did Babadi's spell give him, other than not feeling bad about mass murdering civilians?

Why is he dramatically spitting blood from getting punched in the head? Vomiting blood usually signals internal damage, but here it could only be a broken tooth or something.

This was one of the "better" episodes too, that they brought in the higher paid guys to do and it still looks like shit compared to 90s Bejita

He's getting his face torn up by punches that he can't block and can't dodge, You probably spit up blood sometimes from getting lazy about brushing your teeth. Imagine how fucked your gums would be if prime Mike Tyson had you on the floor and was repeatedly punching your cheeks from side to side

Chaitzou, we need to train.

That's why we don't see him anymore...
>>
>>223903001

Is Tien and Chaitzou the most neglected characters in the franchise, save for Lunch? Even in Super, when they had a chance to make up for Toriyama not utilizing him much, they still don't really give him anything to do or any agency. In the Tournament of Power, they just give all the glory to #17, even elevating him up to Goku's power. What the fuck? Why?
>>
I don't get why Latinx argue between Goku, Vegeta and Gohan when they're basically the same looking character with very shallow characters. That's not a bad thing since DBZ is a shonen but it's weird to pick a favorite out of the available options.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it doesn't warrant the dramatic slow motion shot when it's probably just mouth damage.

>Nobody can defeat the Power of Friendship™

Why is all shounen like this now? It didn't used to be, now it is everywhere, even Dragon Ball. And the one guy, Jiren, who actively denounced it and tried to fight against it, with his own strength that he gained completely alone, was defeated

I watched the first season of that some time ago, the Gemini one and I remember this is true. Fights the Saints should have no business winning by any metric, they managed to win by sheer friendship power. It became tiresome, since no matter how absurdly strong 100% Power Freeza became, Mrs. Brief could always whip his ass because she has faith in her daughter and loves her husband and friendship and etc. It made it hard to get excited about any fight because the bottom tier amateur Saint can easily wipe out the Gold Saint by believing in his friends

What caused a resurgence of this kind of storytelling to happen again, I'd like to know. It is not compelling at all
>>
>>223911819
To be fair, in all the Gold Saint fights the MCs at best managed to tie with suicide moves. Would have even been kino if they didn't revive them.

Anime/manga is pretty cynical nowadays, i don't remember when was the last time the power of friendship was played straight.
>>
>>223911819
Most of the Gold Saint fights were tests for Seiya and crew. Aldy got a horn chopped off and let them through, for example. Virgo faked his death because he thought it was funny. Shun and Hyoga "won" by kamikaze moves. The bullshit one was against Cancer when Shiryu exploded his cosmos' cosmos and somehow trapped Cancer in his own ability. Leo was too op and undefeated.
