Among numerous reasons, Vegeta is adored due to being an emblematic figure in the series, titled as the self-styled Prince of all Saiyans. His fierce competitiveness and unwavering loyalty are commendable traits, but it’s his regal arrogance that truly captivates fans. On the downside, he’s often found pursuing Goku, which can be disappointing. However, Vegeta’s stubbornness is a quality that endears him to fans and makes it particularly gratifying when someone finally brings him back down to earth.

Over time, Vegeta has experienced numerous instances where he’s been outmaneuvered and humiliated, both physically and verbally. From being bested in combat to being spoken down to by those close to him, these occurrences could fill a lengthy catalog. Sometimes his adversaries overpower him with brute force, while others attack his pride with strategic insults. These instances serve as reminders that beneath Vegeta’s grandeur lies a character with flaws. Rather than mere comic relief, these moments are crucial for his development. Each loss whittles away at his arrogance and exposes the human side that fans adore most. Regardless, it’s always amusing to witness him receiving a well-deserved humbling, whether it be from a deity or his spouse. There are numerous characters who have effectively taken Vegeta down a notch.

He’s the One Rival Vegeta Can Never Truly Surpass

Regardless of how much he trains, Goku is always ahead of Vegeta in terms of ability, and this has been a constant frustration for Vegeta since they first met. Goku’s casual demeanor and innate talent have always pushed Vegeta to his limits. What makes things worse is that Goku doesn’t boast or act arrogantly like Vegeta does. This contrast only amplifies the pain of each defeat Goku inflicts upon him.

In the course of many pivotal instances, it became clear to me that I, Vegeta, couldn’t match up to Goku. One such instance was during the Tournament of Power, where despite my assertions later that I had no interest in mastering Ultra Instinct, the truth was quite different. Another telling moment occurred when Goku attained Super Saiyan status for the first time, moments after he revived me.

He Makes Vegeta Look Like an Amateur Without Breaking a Sweat

In Dragon Ball Super, Whis doesn’t have to resort to shouting or intimidation to make Vegeta feel insignificant. As Beerus’ attendant and one of the mightiest beings in the multiverse, his power is evident when he trains both Goku and Vegeta. Time and again, whenever Vegeta believes he’s making strides, Whis gently but effectively demonstrates his superiority with a humble smile on his face.

Whis treats Vegeta as an ordinary student, not even the best one, which consistently keeps Vegeta humble due to Whis’s quiet dominance and extremely high standards. Unlike Beerus, Whis doesn’t intentionally embarrass Vegeta, but his nonchalant superiority is a powerful reminder of Vegeta’s insignificance in Whis’s eyes.

He Reminded Vegeta That Even a Saiyan Prince Is Nothing to a God

As soon as Beerus made his debut in Dragon Ball Super, he swiftly demonstrated the Z Fighters’ relative strength. Vegeta struggled to mask his fear for Earth’s sake, but it was clear he was trembling with apprehension. Even when Vegeta attempted to intervene during the chaos at the birthday party, Beerus didn’t see fit to engage in a battle with him.

With a casual swipe to his forehead, Beerus left Vegeta feeling utterly defeated. All his power, discipline, and honor were rendered insignificant in the presence of a Destroyer God. That single gesture didn’t just cause him to fall physically; it crushed his self-assurance. Even as Vegeta strengthened and stretched his abilities in the anime, he could never quite measure up to Beerus, and the memory of that defeat lingered too keenly.

She’s the Only One Who Can Shut Him Down With Just a Look

In simpler terms, Bulma doesn’t need extraordinary power to keep Vegeta humble. Instead, her strong personality and intolerance for his misbehavior do the trick. Unlike others who engage him in physical battles, she often challenges him verbally, especially on his anger and arrogance. This is something only a wife could do effectively. No matter how proud he may feel, Bulma consistently shows that she’s not swayed by Saiyan bravery.

Vegeta may argue or growl, but when Bulma asserts herself, he steps back, and this dynamic is particularly evident in Dragon Ball Super. He gives up his training with Whis to be with her during her pregnancy, even though the potential power gains are at stake. In the end, it’s not just that Bulma makes Vegeta more humble; she helps him become more human.

He Challenges Vegeta’s Pride and Pushes Him To Evolve Beyond His Limits

As soon as Trunks dedicated himself wholeheartedly to training, he started leaving his father in the dust. This was particularly noticeable when they faced each other in battle. Vegeta found it hard to accept that the Super Saiyan standing before him was actually his own son, given Trunks’ courage and power usually overshadowed Vegeta’s more rigid, pride-filled demeanor. In combat situations, Trunks fights with a clear objective and humility, which is something Vegeta often finds difficult to understand.

Vegeta experiences both satisfaction and annoyance as he watches his son become stronger and wiser. Trunks compels him to recognize his own shortcomings and understand that being a warrior isn’t merely about power. It involves safeguarding the people you care for and knowing when to retreat. In essence, Trunks humbles Vegeta by demonstrating how to improve upon himself as a person.

She’s a Fierce Fighter Who Doesn’t Buy Into His Ego

18 from Android isn’t only strong; she also remains unfazed by Vegeta’s arrogant demeanor. Whenever Vegeta attempts to display his toughness or superiority, 18 responds with a composed, almost amused indifference that confuses him. Throughout the Android and Cell sagas, it was evident that she could stand her ground without needing to prove anything to Vegeta or anyone else.

Her unique characteristic lies in her ability to nonchalantly brush off his efforts to intimidate or upstage her. Unlike most others, she remains unfazed by Vegeta’s aggressive demeanor. Instead, she demonstrates that strength doesn’t necessarily equate to ego. Even after he achieved Super Saiyan status, she showed that she could outperform him. Their encounter was more about her teasing him than a genuine fight.

Facing Jiren Reminded Vegeta That Sheer Strength Isn’t Everything

In the battle they had, Jiren clearly showed that he represents raw power and self-control. Even though Vegeta had undergone rigorous training and transformed numerous times, he found himself outmatched by Jiren’s unyielding, forceful might. The disparity wasn’t merely a matter of physical prowess. Jiren’s indomitable spirit, coupled with his intense concentration and resolve, made Vegeta’s customary aggressive strategies seem hasty and unfocused in contrast.

In my own words, battling Jiren made me understand that raw strength isn’t always the key to victory in every skirmish. It compelled me to reassess my strategies, revealing how my arrogance and impulsiveness could potentially hinder me greatly. Jiren’s unyielding power delivered a stark reminder: I have much to master if I aim to progress further, and blindly exerting more effort won’t be enough.

His Overwhelming Strength Challenges Vegeta Like No Other Saiyan

In contrast to Vegeta’s methodical approach, Broly is driven by instinct and raw power. Each encounter between them saw not just a shove from Broly towards Vegeta, but a crushing impact due to his virtually uncontainable might and distinctive Saiyan lineage. The battle in Dragon Ball Super: Broly was far from evenly matched. Vegeta gave it his all, but it was evident who had the advantage as soon as Broly started evolving during the fight.

To a fighter as arrogant as Vegeta, it’s painful to be surpassed by someone who didn’t seek out the spotlight. He doesn’t value traits like humility or competition. Rather, he’s like a tempest, and when he’s released, even his finest skills become irrelevant against him. Vegeta’s battles with Broly serve as a reminder of how much more he needs to evolve beyond just technique.

He Let Vegeta Win Just To Prove a Point

In my fervor, I’d finally reached Super Saiyan Grade 2, ready to take on Semi-Perfect Cell. Brimming with self-assurance, I found myself falling for Cell’s cunning trickery. He needed to absorb Androids 17 and 18 to transform into Perfect Cell, and he skillfully used me as a pawn to make it happen. He lured me in with the promise of a perfect opponent to display my strength against – little did I know this would be the gravest blunder of my life.

In their confrontation, it wasn’t merely that Perfect Cell overcame Vegeta, but rather he exposed him as inferior. As soon as Cell attained his final form, the situation reversed dramatically. The defeat was painful, but the sting of realizing he had inadvertently contributed to his own downfall was even worse. Cell’s subtle and methodical supremacy left a mark that went beyond any physical injury, serving Vegeta a harsh lesson about the brittleness of pride.

He’s a Constant Reminder That Vegeta Isn’t the Strongest Saiyan

From the start of the Saiyan Saga, Frieza has been one of Vegeta’s most formidable adversaries. Vegeta takes great pride in his royal lineage and countless hours spent honing his skills. However, all this prestige is rendered insignificant when faced with Frieza’s ruthless nature. Frieza’s unique ability to transform multiple times and surpass any perceived limits leaves Vegeta’s own transformations appearing relatively limited in comparison.

On numerous occasions, Frieza has crushed Vegeta’s ambitions of surpassing him, a fact that was starkly demonstrated during their confrontation on Namek. This encounter served as a vivid reminder of Frieza’s merciless dominance over Vegeta, who entered the battle with an inflated sense of confidence but was ultimately humbled by Frieza’s superior strength. Even when Vegeta manages to increase his power, Frieza’s brutal might and tactical acumen frequently compel him to retreat and reevaluate his strategy.
