In the vast universe of Dragon Ball, few characters have captured the hearts of fans quite like Vegeta, the proud warrior prince of the Saiyan race. His journey, marked by both triumph and tragedy, has become an integral part of the series’ lore. Let’s explore the fascinating tale of Vegeta’s demise and ultimate fate.
How did Vegeta die in the original timeline?
In the original Dragon Ball Z timeline, Vegeta was killed by the Androids, specifically #17 and #18, alongside most of the Z Fighters, including Piccolo, Gohan, and Krillin. This happened six months after the Androids appeared, on May 12th, Age 767.
Future Trunks, a version of Trunks from this timeline, travels back in time to warn Goku about the Androids and their devastating impact. He also reveals that Vegeta never got the chance to meet him or remember him as he was a baby when the Androids attacked.
It’s important to remember that this information relates specifically to the original timeline, which was altered by Trunks’ intervention and the Androids’ subsequent defeat.
Who killed Vegeta in Dragon Ball?
There are two instances where Vegeta died in Dragon Ball Z.
The first time Vegeta died was at the hands of Frieza on Planet Namek. Frieza destroyed the planet, leaving Vegeta without oxygen to breathe.
The second time Vegeta died was in a sacrifice against Majin Buu. To prevent the spread of Majin Buu’s explosion, Vegeta sacrificed himself to save Earth.
In both instances, Vegeta died heroically, protecting the Earth and those he cared about.
What happened to Vegeta in the end?
Vegeta’s fate depends on which timeline you’re looking at. In the main Dragon Ball storyline, Vegeta is still alive and kicking as of the end of Dragon Ball Super. He has overcome his rivalry with Goku and become a powerful ally to the Z Fighters. Vegeta even sheds a tear after finally defeating Goku in battle, signifying his growth and changing relationship with his long-time rival.
However, in the Dragon Ball GT timeline, Vegeta’s fate is more ambiguous. After Goku leaves Earth with Shenron, he entrusts the planet’s safety to Vegeta. When Goku returns 100 years later, the Earth is in good condition, suggesting that Vegeta successfully protected it. However, the story doesn’t explicitly state what happens to Vegeta in the intervening years.
Finally, in the non-canon Dragon Ball Z movie, Fusion Reborn, Vegeta is killed by Janemba along with Goku. However, they are both revived by the Dragon Balls shortly after.
