It’s no secret that vegetarian There is no shortage of increasingly dangerous forms of the Dragon Ball mythology, but arguably his most powerful form since Dragon Ball GT was cruelly mocked in Super Dragon Ball— and it’s hilariously perfect.
Vegeta has always been a force to be reckoned with in the Dragon Ball universe, even as a child. In one of his earliest known missions in Dragon Ball Z: Bardock – The Father of Goku, Vegeta is said to be destroying an entire planet of alien life forms which proved too difficult for him to do. with Frieza’s elite squadron. Vegeta’s strength and ferocity haven’t diminished as the years go by, as he nearly killed Goku on his first trip to Earth, tore apart one of Dr. Gero’s Androids like nothing, and even let his mind be corrupted by an evil sorcerer just so he could fight Kakarot without holding back in his subconscious. Vegeta is said to have culminated in being possessed by Baby in Dragon Ball GT and becoming Baby-Vegeta. In this form, Vegeta is strong enough to confront Super Saiyan 4 Goku and deliver an attack that rips a hole in the reality of Dragon Ball. Even though Baby-Vegeta is incredibly powerful, Dragon Ball Super still turns this form into a total joke.
Dragon Ball Super makes fun of every aspect of GT .’s Baby-Vegeta
In Dragon Ball Super episode 46 “Goku vs Vegeta clone! Who will win?!”, Vegeta’s appearance and powers were stolen by an alien slime creature who created the ‘Clone-Vegeta’. The longer this evil Vegeta lives, the weaker the original Vegeta will become until he completely disappears from reality, thus giving Copy-Vegeta his full power. However, to counteract those effects, Vegeta is given an alien tool designed to save his life, but it appears to be (and serves as) a pacifier. So Vegeta sucked on this pacifier-like tool during another Vegeta’s battle with Goku to slow down the process of disappearing from existence.
Like Dragon Ball GT’s ‘Baby Saga’, Dragon Ball Super’s ‘Copy-Vegeta Saga’ sees Vegeta being attacked by a slime-based alien creature (much like when he was possessed by Baby, who turned into slime while taking over Vegeta’s body) then created an ‘evil Vegeta’ who was shown to be a match for even Goku – this is reminiscent of Dragon Ball GT, when Baby-Vegeta fought battled Super Saiyan 4 Goku and was still able to hold his ground. So the parody’s ‘evil ‘Vegeta’ aspect is covered by those two similarities – but the ‘Baby-Vegeta’ mockery doesn’t get to be hilarious until the pacifier comes into play.
The scene where Vegeta sucks on a pacifier the way a baby does seems to be an obvious play on GT’s Baby-Vegeta name, and it’s up to him to do so just for the sake of an evil version of himself. was a way for the creative team behind Super to bring references home. Instead of ‘Baby-Vegeta’ in GT, Super Dragon Ball fans get a ‘Vegeta child’ along with an ‘evil version of himself’ that troubles Goku – a well-structured parody that mocks perfectly vegetarianThe most dangerous Dragon Ball GT form in every possible way.
