Starting in the the Frieza arc during the climatic battle with Frieza, shortly before Vegeta's imminent death, the Saiyan Prince unlocks the [[SuperMode legendary Super Saiyan form,]] [[ForWantOfANail an event that carries tremendous effects on the course of history]]. From there, the story chronicles the adventures of Vegeta, having become the first Super Saiyan of his era.

!!The tropes appearing in ''Bringer of Death'' are:

* AchillesHeel: [[spoiler: Android 16 delivers a devastating blow which does such significant damage to Vegeta's spine that not even advanced medical technology could completely heal it. It requires a metal substitute that restores normal functionality, but leaves him unable to channel ki effectively into it, making his defenses weak in that area.]]
** [[spoiler: This saves him from getting absorbed by Cell early on.]]
** [[spoiler: It also gets abused, though unknowingly, by Cell in the final battle.]]

* BadassBoast: Majcnavn frequently delivers these to the Z fighters.
---> "I have warred with the old gods and never once faced defeat. Demons and spectres and the stars themselves tremble in my presence. My powers extend infinitely beyond the comprehension of mortals. If you are wise, you will not forfeit your lives by provoking me. Go now."

*** [[spoiler: And then reversed AGAIN when Vegeta achieves Super Saiyan 2.]]

*** [[spoiler: Special case since the majority was Vegeta's favor, and then the minority, Cell's, when he luckily hit Vegeta's AchillesHeel.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Vegeta blows himself up to finally destroy Cell.]]

* WhyWontYouDie: [[spoiler: Cell has survived so many near death situations (at least thrice that of the official show) that viewers AND main cast are practically screaming this at the top of their lungs.]]

** [[spoiler: This saves him from getting absorbed by Cell early on]]

* ShownTheirWork: A Meta Example: David applies his knowledge of physics in attempting to, as accurately and effectively as possible while complying with the knowledge supplied from the manga, manga supplements, as well as Toriyama himself, explain many of the things that happen in DBZ. And they do, indeed, make quite a lot of sense. This doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* FiveBadBand: In the Cell Saga, we have:

[[caption-width-right:350:"Vegeta's head jerked again. This time, a flash of golden-yellow light rippled through his hair and vanished as his head dropped again. The sudden flash seemed to encapsulate that moment, freezing it in time."]]
