vegeta

Race: Saiyan Birth date: Age 732 Height: 5' 5" Weight: 123 lbs (56 kg) Hobby: Training Favorite food: All types of food Favorite vehicle: Space pod Known family: King Vegeta (father), Tarble (brother), Bulma (wife), Trunks (son), Bra [Bulla] (daughter) Vegeta is a fictional character from the manga series Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama. Alongside Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo, he is one of the most prominent characters in the series, originally starting out as a villain before becoming a mainstay hero. Initially, Vegeta is haughty, arrogant, self-entitled, and ruthless as the prince of Saiyans. His royal status gave him an inflated sense of superiority, making him view himself above most, if not all, people he encounters. Regal, egotistical, and full of pride, Vegeta was once a ruthless, cold-blooded warrior and outright killer. However, as the story progresses, he transforms into someone capable of caring about and loving others beyond just himself. Vegeta began as a young member of the Saiyan army but, after his race's demise, worked alongside Nappa and Raditz under Freeza. He sought immortality to rule the universe, but upon learning that Freeza destroyed his planet from Dodoria, he resolved to defeat Freeza—not for vengeance, but to secure his own rule over the universe and get back at Freeza for unknowingly using him for his own goals. He later battles Freeza on Namek, where he dies in the ensuing fights. Once revived, he returns to Earth, where he adjusts to everyday life and remains there permanently. In *Cross Epoch* (the *Dragon Ball* and *One Piece* crossover one-shot), Vegeta is the captain of an airship and is depicted wearing an eye patch and a cape with a clasp featuring the Kanji character for "vegetable." Trunks, Usopp, and Nico Robin are members of his crew. (Source: Dragon Ball Super Exciting Guide, Character Edition)
