Dragon Ball Super 2 Will Officially Prove Vegeta is Better Than Goku & More Talented

Vegeta has always been naturally stronger than Goku in Dragon Ball. As a child, Goku’s Power Level barely cracked 100 whereas Vegeta was already stronger than King Vegeta when he was a boy. By the time they fought in the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta’s base Power Level was roughly 10,000 points higher than Goku, without him using Kaioken. Even using the full extent of Kaioken, Goku could not defeat Vegeta and the Prince of All Saiyans had more than enough energy to turn into a Great Ape, de-transform, fight Gohan, and tank a Spirit Bomb.

Dragon Ball Super has only doubled down on the idea that Vegeta is naturally more talented than Goku. While Goku had to use the God Ritual to unlock Super Saiyan God, Vegeta brute-forced his way to unlocking Super Saiyan God just by training hard enough. The Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol anime is going to prove, once and for all, that Vegeta is the most talented Saiyan alive when he finally masters the one technique everyone thought only Goku could learn.

Vegeta Learns a Technique Goku Trained a Full Year to Master in a Matter of Minutes

After defeating Frieza in Dragon Ball Z, Goku uses a Ginyu Force space pod that was already programmed for Planet Yardrat to escape Namek. On Yardrat, Goku trained for an entire year in Spirit Control just to learn Instant Transmission. In the Dragon Ball Super manga, Vegeta travels to Yardrat during the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga so that he can train with Goku’s master, Pybara, in order to learn a Spirit-based technique that will help him defeat Moro.

Pybara tells Vegeta that Goku took 150 days to stabilize his spirit, allowing him to finally learn Instant Transmission. While Vegeta initially struggles to make his Ki stable, he quickly starts making major breakthroughs that far surpass anything Goku accomplished when he was on Yardrat. Not only does Vegeta learn Forced Spirit Fission – a technique that allows him to undo fusions and absorptions, while also transferring Ki to and from other fighters, Vegeta manages to master Instant Transmission in a matter of minutes.

When Vegeta realizes that he won’t make it back in time to help Goku fight Moro, he has Pybara coach him in the basics of Instant Transmission. Despite spending his time learning Forced Spirit Fission and not Instant Transmission, Vegeta is able to parse the principles of Spirit Control well enough in order to pull off Instant Transmission and teleport to Goku just in time to fight Moro himself. Something that took Goku an entire year to learn only took Vegeta minutes. If that’s not prove Vegeta is the more talented Saiyan, nothing is.

Vegeta is a Prodigy Born of Hard Work

In Dragon Ball Super Chapter 60, Pybara calls Vegeta a “prodigy”, specifically “one born of hard work.” While Dragon Ball Z made a point to show that Goku trained smarter than Vegeta, while Vegeta trained harder, all of that is going to change in Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol. After a lifetime of falling behind Goku, Dragon Ball Super 2 is going to vindicate all of Vegeta’s struggles. While Goku focuses too much on raw power and mastering Ultra Instinct, Vegeta humbles himself by going back to the basics. Just taking on a master in the Moro Saga shows how much Vegeta has grown and changed.

Vegeta’s still working hard, but he’s going about it in a smarter way that recognizes those who are better than him. In the Granolah the Survivor Saga, Vegeta ends becomes Beerus’ disciple and is gifted a God of Destruction earring as he studies as much of Beerus’ powers as he can. It’s this humility that allows Vegeta to eventually unlock Ultra Ego – a form that finally puts him on par with Goku power-wise. By the Super Hero Saga, Vegeta will learn the value of meditation, beat Goku in a one on one fight, and crown himself the true strongest Saiyan in Dragon Ball by finally surpassing his rival for good.
