Vegeta

Emperor Vegeta

0% Approval Rating: Shows up mostly in the Novelization but is still present in the comic. No one likes the guy. The Kais find his Social Darwinist views horrific, U18 Vegeta views him with contempt and sees him as the embodiment of everything he has moved on from, the various incarnations of Trunks regard his existence as an insult to the good man Vegeta grew into, Raditz and Kakarot both hate his guts and would gladly kill him if they had the power to pull it off, Gast compares him to his own universe's Vegeta who never underwent Character Development, Old Kai regards his genocidal rule over U13 as a crime that must be stopped hence him agreeing to empower Raditz, Raichi is near foaming at the mouth after talking with him, U3 Bardock very nearly goes SSJ2 in sheer rage over Vegeta's gleeful slaughter of the Ghost Saiyan Army and finds his view that if the Saiyans could be killed then they deserved to be wiped out offensive in the extreme. The only one that genuinely remains loyal to him is Nappa.
Asshole Victim: He gets killed by Raichi in the second match, but given that he was a nasty piece of work, it's still pretty well-deserved.
Attractive Bent-Gender: We found out fairly quickly that the Princess of all Saiyans is pretty darn cute. Vegeta, as a girl, looked an awful lot like a black haired Android 18.
Ax-Crazy: He's Vegeta without the Character Development, and also with a power increase. Both of these have contributed into transforming him into an utter madman. Kakarotto being immortal, while he obviously is not, doesn't seem to help his anger management issues. In hindsight, it now explains why he was so gleefully butchering the ghost of U3 Kakarotto, yet never did the same to his own Kakarotto.
Blood Knight: And how. The prospect of Raichi pitting him against nearly every Saiyan he ever knew in ghost form (including his own father and cousin) shocks him... For about two seconds. Before he gleefully starts slaughtering them. And he seems to be happy about slaughtering his own race, if mainly to prove his own superiority. Or some form of grudge. Either way, even Raichi is surprised by the extent of Vegeta's bloodlust.
Vegeta experiences a flashback to his childhood upon seeing various deceased people he knew...
Dr. Raichi: Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, one that can-
Vegeta suddenly blasts off his cousin's head, much to Raichi's shock, and proceeds to attack them gleefully.
Vegeta: Hahaha! (Kicks his father in the gut) Hello again, old man! (Breaks Gerkin's spine) Hey, it's Gerkin!
Calling Your Attacks: While he does this on grounds of being Vegeta, a darkly humorous variant comes into play when a target tries to cut him in half with "God's Blade", only for Vegeta to cut him in half instead:
U13 Vegeta: Vegeta's Blade...
Clipped-Wing Angel: Unlocks Super Saiyan 3 during his fight Dr Raichi, unfortunately for him at this point he has received a number of serious injuries and has expended a lot of power. As a result, he can't sustain the transformation very long due to strain it puts on his body and having no prior experience with the form and its drawbacks.
Evil Counterpart: To U18 Vegeta. In the main timeline, Vegeta redeemed himself by growing to learn the values of compassion and love, growing into a family man and loyal friend. In Universe 13, Vegeta stayed the same asshole he started as and his rise to power only made him worse.
Eviler than Thou: Raichi tries to compete with Vegeta regarding the massacres of their respective races, saying his hatred for Saiyans is greater than Vegeta's hatred of Tuffles. Presumably, anyway, because he can't even finish his sentence before Vegeta cuts him off saying he doesn't care and if the Saiyans were weak enough to be defeated they deserved to die. In the Novelization Raditz mentally remarks that Vegeta's genocidal rule over U13 makes Freeza look nice by comparison.
I Hate Past Me: Is on the receiving end of this by U18 Vegeta, who sees him as the genocidal space pirate he had been before he met Goku.
Irony: Here, Vegeta is stronger than Kakarot, enough so that Kakarot surpassing him is considered incredibly unlikely.
- He condemns Kakarot as crazy but as as soon as the fight against Raichi's Ghost Saiyan's begins he turns into a raving Blood Knight who if anything makes Kakarot seem tame by comparison, which the Novelization lampshades.
- His Kakarot got his hands on the wish that Vegeta wanted realized before thinking about taking on Frieza. We know that Vegeta was not made immortal, so this must further add to his frustration with Kakarot.
Jerkass: Having not gone through the character development that U18 Vegeta did, he's extremely smug and condescending.
Made of Iron: He wouldn't be Vegeta if he wasn't. U13 Vegeta withstands a technique meant to cut damn near anything in half (before reciprocating in kind), and takes a beating from a Cell Jr. and continues to stand. It takes an attack from U3 Vegeta under Raichi's control to kill him. Yes, it took Vegeta to kill Vegeta.
Might Makes Right: To the extreme; as far as he's concerned, the weak have no right to live and their destruction is to be lauded. This belief even extends to his own race, as shown during his fight with Raichi. When the former asks if the total genocide of the Saiyans makes him mad, Vegeta instead congratulates him. As he puts it, the Tuffles (Raichi's people) were weak and didn't deserve to live; if Raichi could wipe out the Saiyans in his universe, then all that means was that they were even weaker and likewise deserved their extinction.
No Sympathy: To the point of not caring that Raichi massacred the U3 Saiyans at all, even praising him for it.
Shadow Archetype: He is what U18 Vegeta could have been had he succeeded in his goal of overthrowing Freeza and never settled down with a family.
Took a Level in Jerkass: This incarnation of Vegeta manages to be even more of an asshole than the pre-Heel–Face Turn U18 Vegeta. He even applauds Raichi for massacring the U3 Saiyans, seeing it as a vindication of his Might Makes Right philosophy, while Freeza Saga Vegeta in canon was at the very least miffed to learn that Freeza was responsible for the genocide of the Saiyans.

Kakarotto

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u13_kakarott.jpg

Ax-Crazy: Kakarotto is insane from years of loneliness, as stated by Raditz. Though Raditz taking care of him seems to have helped... somewhat.
- A problem that Grandpa Gohan had to deal with while raising him. In fact, Grandpa Gohan notes the only time when he was actually calm was either while eating or being taught self-control through martial arts.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Succumbs to Babidi's Majin Spell.
Characterization Marches On: When he first appears, Kakarotto is depicted as an implied Serial Rapist when he wanted Kat to "bear his child". However, later appearances has this trait faded out. Not to mention that Special Chapters focusing on him have shown him to be pretty cunning despite his role as The Brute.
Complete Immortality: The Universe 13 Special reveals that Kakarot at some point used the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality, which explains his tendency to survive attacks that should have logically killed him. Unlike Garlic Jr. or Zamasu, however, his immortality doesn't come with a super-healing factor, meaning that Kakarot still has to rely on outside aid to heal his wounds.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Gets beaten by U18 Vegeta rather easily. Gohan eviscerates him even easier.
The Dragon: To Emperor Vegeta, though he's actually more of The Starscream.
Evil Counterpart: To Goku, of course; he's what Goku might have been if he let the wilderness make him feral, and followed his Saiyan instincts.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In chapter 52 on page 1191 while in Oozaru form, Kakarotto yells "Get over here bro!" and saves Raditz's life. All the time and effort his older brother put into helping him has made Kakarotto return Raditz's brotherly love in kind.
Foreshadowing:
- A throw-away line on page 1559 about people shutting up when they're dead now makes MORE sense and probably goes ways to explain why loneliness took such a toll on him, when you learn he is immortal and his opponents obviously were not...
- There have been many throwaway lines scattered throughout the comic that suggest that Kakarotto is immortal.
Freudian Excuse: He was manipulated and brainwashed by his mother, and spent his childhood alone. Naturally, he's a little screwed up.
Go Mad from the Isolation: When asked why there hadn't been more cases of insane Saiyans among those babies who were sent to planets, Salagir gave two reasons. The first was that, in DBM canon, it wasn't something the Saiyans did very often. The second and more important reason, was that child Saiyans were picked up after relatively a short time. Kakarotto had the misfortune of being sent to Earth after the Saiyan genocide, so he was forgotten and left stranded in Earth for much longer than he should have been, which took a heavy toll on his mind.
I'm a Humanitarian: Before Raditz found him, he actually ate human flesh.
The Load: When it comes to running an intergalactic planetary trade ring, Kakarot's Ax-Crazy tendencies make him more of a liability than an asset since he would wantonly wreck everything in his path. It, of course, would be bad for business if the planet is in no condition for sale.
No One Should Survive That!: He's survived having a meteor shower that destroyed a planet's surface. Being impaled for an extended period of time and being shot through the heart. Being immortal has it's perks.
Serial Rapist: He implies he raped the young girls of his universe's Earth to U18 Pan during their fight. Salagir later clarified that this wasn't true, and was just Kakarott saying whatever he could to get in Pan's head and get her off her game, with this backfiring on him.
Smarter Than They Look: Those Blutz Wave lamps he and Raditz have in their eyes? Yeah, turns out it was Kakarotto who came up with the idea.
The Starscream: Admitted to wanting to kill Vegeta.
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He is one to Turles from Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, who wasn't adapted for Multiverse. Both are Evil Counterparts of Goku, imagining what would have happened if he hadn't hit his head as a baby. However, while Turles was just an Affably Evil Identical Stranger and a Man of Wealth and Taste, Kakarotto is an Ax-Crazy Feral Child turned adult.
Tragic Villain: Sure, he’s a violent psychopath, but he’s also an emotionally compromised and broken man who’s constantly second fiddle to the man he hates the most and despite his glee in murder, it’s very clear that driving Krillin away and murdering him despite being the only real positive influence he’s ever had before his brother showed up fills him with untold remorse. In fact it wouldn’t be surprising if he hates himself deep down for what he’s become.
We Used to Be Friends: Implied during his fight with U18 Pan: Kakarotto has a flashback of him and his universe's Krillin playing in the water as children. Turns out that it just made him more insane by giving him a moment of happiness and companionship. Krillin vows to stop Kakarotto after he killed Master Roshi.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: A psychotic mass murderer, but not out of his own fault. Kakarott was brutally beaten on a regular basis, and brainwashed by his own mother into having a homicidal hatred of humans. He actually fought back the voice of his mother inside of his head, that told him to murder Krillin.

Raditz

Adaptational Intelligence: Raditz here is far more cunning than he was in canon. In canon, he makes the mistake of relying on his scouter in battle, something that Vegeta and even Nappa avoid making. Here, he's the brains of the group in order to make up for being the weakest of the four.
Adaptational Nice Guy: U18 Raditz cared nothing about his brother aside from his usefulness as a Saiyan. Here, Raditz loves his brother from the start, despite being screwed up and a trouble for the Saiyans.
A Lighter Shade of Black: To his fellow Saiyans. He's a ruthless conqueror, but he's not sadistic and cruel about it nor as power-greedy. He uses this to get a deal out of Old Kai.
Blood Knight: Largely averted, as in canon; he seems to be fairly job-oriented and is usually the one to recommend not killing everyone.
Calling the Old Man Out: Raditz does a spectacular job of this in Chapter 19.
Raditz: You're the same in my universe, a failed father! Proud to be born into the lower class and having reached the Elite, yet you had only disgust for your two sons! I was weak because of you, scum!
Can't Catch Up: The weakest of the Saiyans in his universe. He's still reliant on Oozaru, while his brother and leader both have Super Saiyan. He gets very little respect because of this.
The Caretaker: He took care of Kakarotto during his rehabilitation. Slips into Cloudcuckoolander's Minder, since Kakarotto was completely batshit insane, even more so than he is in the present.
The Chew Toy: He loses his only fight, and he's mostly humiliated whenever possible.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite being a Saiyan Warrior, he really does care about his little brother, Kakarotto. So much so that when he goes to bargain with U9 Elder Kai, he offers to kill his Universe's Nappa and Vegeta, but refuses to kill his brother. Lampshaded by U9 Tien in chapter 49 on page 1122.
Tien: So there's actually a heart in this Saiyan's chest.
- Does not like his father very much, yet couldn't help felling slightly offended when Vegeta mocked Bardock.
Lesser of Two Evils: Tries to convince Old Kai he is this to his Saiyan comrades, in order to get a power-up to kill Vegeta and Nappa.
So Last Season: He angrily boasts at being far stronger than the Ginyu Force. As it turns out, this is waaaay behind the power curve of the tournament. Lampshaded when Bardock goes Super Saiyan against him.
"Oh, fuck... that's so unfair..."
Took a Level in Badass: One of the weakest Saiyans has become way stronger than the Ginyu Force, and his Oozaru Form is at least on par with Frieza's second form. But it's clearly not enough to handle his father.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Raditz is absolutely furious with his father for being... well, a terrible father. It appears all he wanted from his father was recognition.

Nappa

An Arm and a Leg: Gets this done to him by U16 Gohan, who sensed U18 Videl about to get killed, before getting pulverized into literal chunks.
Blood Knight: He's still Nappa.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Succumbs to Babidi's Majin Spell.
Graceful Loser: Accepts that he has no chance of winning the tournament rather well.
Hidden Depths: He's revealed to be a surprisingly superb chef.
Know When to Fold Them: Wants to leave the tournament after seeing Vegito's power, recognizing how outclassed they are.
Out of Focus: Vegeta got to advance into the tournament and had matches where he could show off his personality and power, even managed to achieve Super Saiyan 3 against Raichi, and other characters may react to the kind of person he is, usually with disgust. Raditz and Kakarot have specials that show off their story and Raditz also gets to have a plot where Old Kai accepts to unlock his potential. Nappa has nothing going on for him, after the quarter finals started there may be a joke or two that uses him but even those are infrequent.
Troll: Mocks Frieza prior to their fight to enrage him then forfeits, leaving Frieza no way to get even without being disqualified.
