->''"Amazing. How do you ''do'' it, Kakarot? You've always been like this, ever since the day I first met you. Always ready to meet the next challenge, even if it's bigger than you are. [...] It was the same on Namek. [[TookALevelInBadass You had improved so much that it made Recoome look like he was standing still.]] Your power had increased so dramatically since our battle on Earth that I thought you had done it. I thought that you had become a Super Saiyan. It tore me apart! How could a low-class soldier accomplish so easily what I- I had struggled my whole life to achieve? Then, at last, it happened. I, too, transformed. After living every moment of every day for the singular purpose of surpassing you, I finally became a Super Saiyan myself. The prince had reclaimed his throne, and fulfilled his destiny! But no matter how strong I became, your power still exceeded mine.\\

How could a Saiyan fight like that, and at the same time be so gentle that he wouldn't hurt a fly? It makes me angry just thinking about it! But... perhaps it is my anger that has blinded me to the truth for so long. I see it now. This day has made it all too clear. You're better than me, Kakarot. You are the best."''

At first, I thought it was your loved ones; [[ThePowerOfFriendship that it was your instinct to protect them that spurred you on and pushed you beyond your limits.]] But then I found myself with a family of my own, and my power... didn't increase at all. [[BloodKnight I used to fight for the sheer pleasure of it]], for the thrill of the hunt, all while I had the strength unmeasurable. I spared no one. And yet... you showed mercy to everyone, even your fiercest enemies. Even ''me!'' And yet you never fought to kill, or for revenge. [[SpiritedCompetitor Only to test your limits, and push yourself beyond them, to become the strongest you could possibly be.]]\\

->'''Goku:''' I'm amazed, Vegeta. These last seven years in Other World, I've been through the most intense training sessions, but we're still completely even. I guess this whole time you've been pushing yourself even harder than I have.\\
'''Majin Vegeta:''' That may be true. I've pushed myself to the edge of my limits and beyond! But you've been born with a natural talent far beyond my own. No amount of training could have closed the gap between us! I realize that now. It was made painfully obvious to me today as I watched your fight with Babidi's monster. Imagine my shock, to see the undeniable proof to discover, no matter how hard I try, I would never be able to catch you! A warrior prince forever living in the shadow of a low-level clown!
