History SelfDemonstrating / Vegeta

And a few things! One, if you ever dare say that either [[SelfDemonstrating/MajinBuu ridiculous pink blob]], the [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Freeza}} so-called galactic tyrant]], or [[SelfDemonstrating/AbridgedMrPopo that black man]] is better than me, then I'll keep kicking you in the dick until you learn to respect who the top dog really is! Two, if you think [[Creator/BrianDrummond that]] [[SelfDemonstrating/DrIvoEggmanRobotnik Eggheaded dimwit]] is me, I will unleash a barrage of Final Flashes upon your misguided soul! And third, from those of you from the Earth nation of Japan, if you [[Creator/RyoHorikawa dare confuse me with]] [[SelfDemonstrating/CaptainFalcon that boisterous speed-racing buffooning daredevil]], I'll be sure to send you and your little friends to "another dimension"... of pain!

** Oh. Apparently now that clown is going to fight that red-caped man for the third time. I won't be expecting the clown to win despite [[CompositeCharacter combining]] his canon-self, his [[Anime/DragonBallGT GT self]], his [[VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse Xeno self]], and his [[VideoGame/DragonBallHeroes hero self]].

** As if to prove my point, after our first battle, Kakarot actually admitted that I embodied this trope for him. (Let's be honest, that's the undeniable truth.)

** Years later, when [[HeroicSacrifice I perished trying to eliminate Buu]], I was resurrected as a different kind of ghost to combat that menace. Later, the Dragon Balls on Namek were used to revive everyone who had died since Babadi's arrival on Earth. The wish was supposed to exclude the wicked ones, but for some inexplicable reason, it brought me back as well.

* FearlessFool: "What? How dare you call me a fool! I am the Prince of all Saiyans, and I assure you, [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I am anything but a fool]]. I'd advise against repeating that mistake if you value your well-being.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In the late Frieza Saga and the Cell Saga, I found myself as the 'friend nobody likes' among the Z fighters, with the exception of the clown Kakarot and that stubborn Earthling woman. Even that blasted child who claims to be my son berated me endlessly. Whenever I needed assistance, they refused to aid me, blinded by jealousy against the Prince of all Saiyans. After I achieved the Super Saiyan transformation, their response was nothing but groans. (Clearly, they were just envious of my power!) And when I was defeated by Cell, the bald one had the audacity to say he didn't care if I perished, assisting me solely because Trunks believed in me. [[HypocriticalHumor Ungrateful fools]]!

** When considering how to revive those who perished since Babadi's arrival on Earth, I proposed a more strategic approach. Rather than Kakarot's plan to revive everyone killed by Majin Buu using Namek's dragon, I suggested specifying the wish to resurrect those who died on Earth since Babadi's arrival, excluding the most wicked individuals. Of course, my intentions had nothing to do with Babadi, and I never wished to see that imp again. ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial And let's not bring up the argument that it was about reviving all the people I killed]].)
* GoldenSuperMode: Is it not glaringly obvious? I'm talking about the legendary Super Saiyan transformation! The myth made reality! Even though Super Saiyan God and Blue may have overshadowed it, the original Super Saiyan form is more than sufficient to vanquish any fool who dares to challenge me[[note]]'''Android 18:''' Do you hear that? '''SelfDemonstrating/MajinBuu:''' Buu hear lies!" '''Beerus:''' When will that prince ever learn his limits? '''Me:'''Are you three here to prove that the form wasn't good enough? ''(All three nod in agreement)'' '''Me:''' [[{{Touche}} Ok fine. You got me]][[/note]].

** And for his mockery, it seems karma caught up with Kakarot the next time. Not so amusing now, is it, you clown!
[[note]]In fact, it was so bad that the [[RetGone Kakatot ended up being erased from time]]! HA! That proves I'm better than him in that regard! At least my precious Bulla didn't suffer that![[/note]]
* GunsAreWorthless: What? Did you actually think those feeble human toys would be effective against a TRUE Saiyan warrior? [[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]] Go ahead! Shoot me! I ''double dare'' you, insignificant worms.

* HumanAliens: Don't you DARE mistake me for a human! I may have some... alright, a ''lot of''... superficial similarities with this beginner-level race, but I am NOT human! I make an exception for residences of the demon realm and the gods beyond the mortal universe, but only because every mortal with a forehead is a "human" to them. They will come to recognize the superiority of the saiyan in due time!

** I objected to reviving Frieza to participate in the Tournament of Power on the grounds that he's uncontrollable and cannot be trusted. Kakarot was almost right there, Freeza did behave himself for forty odd minutes, but Kakarot believed that meant Frieza was our friend now! The naive fool soon leaned otherwise in our dealings with Broly and The Heaters!

* TheStarscream: You ''dare'' compare to [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Starscream}} that piece of scrap]]!? Fine, I do fit the trope. I had been forced my whole life into servitude under Freeza's genocidal dictator-empire-controlling little thumb. I waited patiently, and when the chance to secure my freedom finally arose I gladly took it! Freeza was aware of my intent, but didn't take me for a threat.

** So, you're curious about my thoughts on how one version of [[VideoGame/DragonBallXenoverse my future son]] battled against a [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics silver hedgehog]]? Well, I expect him to win! After all, if he was my son, he should have shown that silver ripoff he's the superior golden haired warrior [[spoiler: much like how I did against that black hedgehog]]![[note]]'''Kakarot (whispering to Bulma):''' Does anyone want to ask Vegeta about what he thinks regarding his future son's encounter with the silver hedgehog? '''Bulma (responding to Kakarot):''' I wouldn't recommend it. It's probably best to leave that topic alone. '''Kakarot:''' Why, Bulma? '''Bulma:''' It's because he gets quite upset when he thinks about it. You know, our future son losing to that hedgehog... it really gets to him. '''Me (turning to Kakarot and Bulma)''': Huh? What's all the secrecy about? '''Bulma:''' Oh, nothing, my dear husband. '''Kakarot:''' Yep, absolutely nothing. Hey, want to go for some training? '''Me:''' Hmph. Fine.

** Yes, this was my attitude towards Raditz, after he died. If he died on a planet like Earth, the likes of which Saiyans have mind to label a "weaklings' world", his death was hardly worth avenging in the first place. I only decided to go that planet because of the Dragon Balls. Nappa suggested using them to revive Raditz, but I shot the idea down in favor of wishing for eternal life for both us. We didn't need him anymore if we made a wish like that.[[note]]Only in the English anime, in the original version, Nappa was commenting about the power Kakarot's half Saiyan son displayed and suggested producing more children from Earth's women to restore Saiyan dominance in the universe. I shot down the idea, because we hardly needed a bunch of warriors who would grow up to be stronger than us. Hahha, not that I'd be concerned now! Hmmph![[/note]]

* HumanAliens: Don't you DARE mistake me for a human! I may have some... alright, a ''lot of''... superficial similarities with this beginner-level race, but I am NOT human! I make an exception for residences of the demon realm and the gods beyond the mortal universe, but only because every mortal with a forehead is a "human" to them.

** I objected to the mercy Kakarot showed the Fat Majin Buu on the basis he would simply spawn more monsters if allowed to live. It turns out that in the ''Videogame/DragonBallOnline'' timeline I was more right than I could have known, and more wrong at the same time. Those monsters ended up being welcome additions to this planet of puny, triflingly annoying circus acts, several even ended up employed by the woman's son! They not only serve my legacy, but protect my history from the meddling Towa!

** I objected to reviving Frieza to participate in the Tournament of Power on the grounds that he's uncontrollable and cannot be trusted. I was proven right by Frieza's internal monologue to become a being to replace Zen'o."
* JerkassToOne: I've looked down those inferior to me, and I'll spit on anyone who is dirsrespectful to my glory, but the one person I hate the most is that irritating clown Kakarot. A low-class Saiyan daring to surpass me, an elite warrior prince, is absolutely despicable!

** What, do you expect me to actually really care about all those [[InnocentBystander non-player characters]] who might get hurt or die during our fights? [[SubvertedTrope Guess again]]!

* OverlordJr: It was through my father, the King of all Saiyans, I learned everything I know about proper Saiyan values, such as pride, unrelenting discipline, and holding the lower classes under an iron rule as well as all the dirty, pathetic alien weakling cowards scum out there who would dare challenge me in righteous disdain. I have also inherited my name and most of my rugged good looks from him too...though thankfully not his taste in beards.[[labelnote:*]]Bring up the mou-stache and I will eviscerate your honor on the spot. That just was a brief phase and that was ''all'' it was![[/labelnote]]

* PerpetualFrowner: I soon became this by default. Why should I smile when I'm stuck with these damned annoying earthlings?

** Played straight with Raditz after he died.

* HairTriggerTemper: Yes, I have a temper, but who can blame me? When you have to personally experience some soft hearted, low-class, bumbling buffoon surpassing an elite warrior, you will understand!

** Unfortunately, there just aren't any female Saiyans left after Frieza decimated our planet and brought our race [[DyingRace to the brink of extinction]]. That means every Saiyan from here on will carry at least some unpure blood with them, tainted by more timid human blood most likely. My own heirs suffer from this [[note]]Saiyans and human blood mixing produce children born with incredible power even by the standards our race[[/note]], but... they are still MY son and daughter. [[PapaWolf Get between me and them and expect to die]]. And don't you even ''think'' about mentioning what I've said to the woman! If she refuses to fix that damn gravity room, it's your fault, and I will personally cream you!
** At any rate, at least humans look like us, unlike that weird alien my brother chose as a mate. I shudder to think what strange mockeries against our race -- if any -- are going to result from ''that'' union... ''Brrrr!''
* AHandfulForAnEye: Of course! What else would you expect from a ''true'' Saiyan warrior? *smirk* And to add insult to injury there wasn't any real need for it; I could've defeated Zarbon without throwing sand into his eyes, but [[EvilFeelsGood it felt good]] to taunt that ridiculous toady. Maybe I'll try this maneuver out on Kakarot the next time we meet.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: As many of you know, I started out as a villain, but after an opportunity presented itself for me to revolt against Freiza, I decided to join Kakarot and his friends. I'd stay on their side up until shortly before that dumb-toddler-like, fat pink blob showed up, when I decided to let everyone think I'd been brainwashed by Babidi. After that, I blew myself up to make amends, and once I came back from the dead, I stayed a Face for good[[note]]although there was that one period during, ''shudders'', GT where I did get brainwashed[[/note]]. You can't be Prince of all Saiyans without taking some opportunities.

** In the first tale of our meeting, when I found out that weakling Saiyan Broly was, in fact, the Legendary Super Saiyan, I nearly lost it. Some see it as me being afraid of such a powerful being only heard of in legends, but really, anyone at Super Saiyan 2 and beyond could have taken him out; [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged I was more in awe]] [[{{Fanboy}} of the power he wielded at the time]], and then absolutely bewildered when I found out [[DisproportionateRetribution his motivation]] was that Kakarot cried for three hours as an infant! BROLY WAS A LITERAL GIANT F*CKING BABY!

** Okay fine, yes, I did blow myself up against that fat, pink blob of chewing gum to ensure a better future for my wife and son. For bonus points, the Namekian even told me that I'd still be going to Hell for my past as a planet-destroying villain - and I still did it! Why? Well, because I am the greatest at everything, even self-sacrifice! And fine, [[YouAreWorthHell Bulma and the boy really do mean that much to me.]] Anyway, it turns out that ''willingly'' getting sent to Hell to protect the innocent was actually enough to make those morons who run the afterlife unsure about sending me there after all...

* ItsAllAboutMe: Yes, it really IS all about me. I am the Prince of all Saiyans, the strongest being in the entire universe! Not even the gods can withstand my wrath! What was that?! You think it's just hype? [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged I AM THE HYPE!!!]]
* {{Jerkass}}: *frown* Why should I care about any of those earthlings?! They just get in my way for glory as the most powerful Saiyan in the universe!

** After I saved Kakarot from being killed by Android 19, I reminded the fool he was warned about the heart virus and should have known that fighting in his condition, let alone going Super Saiyan, would have only made it worse. [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou I won't let a stupid virus beat me in killing him!]]
** I got another one after beating Android 19 so thoroughly that the android flipped out and tried to make a break for it, to which Dr. Gero/Android 20 shouts at me that ''I'' had done enough. As I rightfully pointed out, Gero and 19 had come all this way to destroy me and the low-class fighters! It's only "enough" when they're losing!
** When Cell declared the Cell Games, Piccolo expressed his desire to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber after Kakarot and his son had departed. I scoffed at the idea, deeming it a waste of time since I believed the upcoming battle with Cell would require a level of power only attainable by Saiyans. Despite my reservations, I reluctantly allowed that ignorant Namek to go first. Say what you will about me, but I firmly believed that only a Saiyan could stand a chance against Cell, and Piccolo's training, in my opinion, yielded lackluster results. Even seven years after his death, no non-Saiyan had come close to matching Cell's power.[[note]]'''Piccolo''': You do realize that I achieved my [[Anime/DragonBallSuperSuperHero orange form]] which put me on par with your Blue Evolved form, right? '''Me''': {{Touche}} but the difference lies in how we obtained our power. I earned mine through my own efforts, while you obtained yours through a wish. And before you mention Kakarot's son, he gained his power-up through a specific ritual.[[/note]]
** I told off Kakarot's son for getting weaker in the Buu saga and how his battle against Dabura was a disgrace. For someone who has Saiyan blood in his veins, he was struggling against a foe that, seven years ago, he wouldn't have had such a problem with, and it was imperative to beat that demon with brute force! If only Kakarot let me fight Dabura in his place.
** After this 'Kid Buu' destroyed Earth, I told off Kakarot for leaving his own sons to die there and choosing that Hercule oaf and the Namek boy instead. The clown had nothing to say at all because he knew I was right!
** I later objected to Kakarot and Hercule wanting to let Fat Buu live. Maybe they were right in the long term, but it doesn't change that they wanted to let a monster live that killed most of Earth's inhabitants like some toddler breaking things and, even if he apparently learned to stop, spawned a killing machine that finished the job.
** I was furious that Kakarot played around with his counterpart instead of instantly killing him when he had the chance. This gave him the opportunity to study the clown's fighting style and destroy the time machine, giving him the chance to become more powerful to the point where he could challenge both of us in our Super Saiyan Blue forms. Also, if Cell's time machine hadn't been in that woman's junk stash there would have been no way to go to the future to save it in the first place. This was mostly because I wanted to kill that Kakarot copy for hurting Trunks and killing Future Bulma, but I was even angrier about it after these events proved my point!
** I objected to reviving Freeza to participate in the Tournament of Power on the grounds that he's uncontrollable and cannot be trusted. I was proven right by Freeza's internal monologue to become a being to replace Zen'o.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: WHAT? HOW DARE YOU INSINUATE THAT I'M ANYTHING BUT EVIL. The Dragon what? That Sheraton thing has the [[JustForPun BALLS]] to bring me back because I'm a "good guy". I'M NOT. I'M EVIL. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I just saved the planet so I can destroy it myself!]] DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, YOU SNIVELING, GIGGLING LITTLE!

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Why do any of you even care that I killed Nappa? He had killed countless people before even coming to Earth, gleefully beat Kakarot's friends, mocked two of them for dying in failed attempts to kill him, before killing a third one himself. After I told him to withdraw from fighting Kakarot he [[SoreLoser decided to take his frustration out]] on Kakarot's brat and the bald one.
** I killed Dodoria and Zarbon on Namek. Those two worked for Frieza and killed countless people before coming to Namek, and had been taking part in Frieza's slaughter of the Namekians. Who cares if it was in cold blood.
** Kakarot complained me killing Recoome and Burter. The big brute had just nearly killed the idiot's son and his bald friend, on top of everyone else they killed under Frieza's orders. They didn't deserve any mercy, and if they had a chance to put that shoe on the other foot, they most certainly would've made it a point to see all of us dead.

* LastOfHisKind: I am the last pure-blooded member of the Saiyans' royal line. [[NoTrueScotsman And, no, that imbecile Kakarot does NOT count!]] He's long forgotten the proper Saiyan culture, and he's even renounced his birth name in favor of the stupid name those Earthlings bestowed on him! [[CategoryTraitor As far as I am concerned he is a traitor to all that it means to be a Saiyan!]] And if he ever ''is'' the last remaining Saiyan, [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged I will die without solace]].

* LethalChef: BULLSHIT! [[BlatantLies I can cook my famous recipe! It's my world famous rice omelette!]][[note]]'''Whis:''' You do realize everyone on the Godnet saw how you managed to break every one of those eggs you tried to crack with one even hatching out as a chick? '''Bulma:''' Yeah Vegeta. We all know you have never cooked a single dish in your entire life. '''Me:''' Silence! Those tropers don't need to know the truth about my kitchen experience! Besides Bulma, don't you cook all your meals using the microwave? '''Bulma:''' Vegeta! That's not true![[/note]]

* ManlyTears: [[MenDontCry Oh, really? Tears are a weakness in my eyes!]] However, I've done this once in the Frieza saga. I explained my life and motivations as Kakarot prepares his battle against Frieza. I told him that Frieza destroyed the saiyan race. I broke down in tears when I revealed that Frieza promised to spare my father if I joined him, and then, when I complied, the bastard killed him anyways! It was an eye opener for the viewers watching.

** Oh, but my heart ''is'' pure, little vermin. Pure. Unadulterated. '''Badass'''. And it must be pure ''EVIL!'' And that is how I truly became a Super Saiyan. What! [[BlatantLies IT'S TRUE! DON'T LET OTHERS TELL YOU MY HEART IS FULL OF DETERMINATION! THEY ARE POSERS AND UNEDUCATED!]]

* PsychoticSmirk: *Smirk* I used to do this in my glory days of being the cold ruthless warrior! It's one way to let my enemies know they will be crushed and destroyed by the Saiyan Prince! I actually missed that.

* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: Seriously, why do all these threats and their pastel-colored goons find their way to this miserably back-water little rock? [[BloodKnight Not that I'm complaining, mind you]].
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Ha, I was already capable of destroying entire worlds when I first fought that bumbling imbecile, Kakarot, and when it seemed like that oaf was gonna win, I tried to do that to his planet. He may have won that round, but I soon turned the tables on him. [[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]]
* EasilyForgiven: Kakarot is such an idiot who never held my past actions against me, even acting like we're friends. [[BlatantLies We are not and never will be!]] What surprised me more was how easily Bulma forgave me, even though I came to Earth with the intent of wiping out her species if I felt any use in doing so. Everyone else had the good sense to see me for the convenient ally I am, [[BlatantLies who will one day turn on them]]!
* EliteMook: What was when I was working for Frieza. I didn't have any chances to move up the ranks since I was always on the front lines, but I was never interested in getting a higher position in Frieza's army. His higher ranking warriors who stayed away from the front lines got complacent and relied Frieza's power for their safety, and you can see where that got them.
* EnemyMine: To defeat Freeza, as much as it turned my stomach, I joined forces with the damn gibbering oaf and his friends to take down the cretin. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial No, I have not changed.]] It's just we've formed an alliance. I could turn on them and kill them all at any time! I just ''choose'' not to. And don't you forget that.
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: Living creatures scurry in fear at my approach! For I am Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans, and my very presence frightens the lowliest of primitive lifeforms! [[LaughingMad Hahahahahahahaha!]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Hrmph! Love is a weakness and a distraction from training and battle, and therefore any true Saiyan who knows what is good for him doesn't submit to "love" for ''anyone'' or ''anything!'' That said, I did hold my father, the King, in quite high regard, back when the old man was still alive. After all, he taught me everything I know about fighting, taking pride in my bloodline, and ''never'' abiding weakness. Truth be told, I would never have tolerated serving under Frieza for so long, if he hadn't threatened to kill him. Heh, funny thing actually, as sooner or later I would have had to kill the old man myself in a honorable battle to press my claim on the throne. Nowadays, well... As much as they might irritate me, you do NOT want to mess with the woman, her son and her daughter. If you do, you'll have to go through me first, and trust me, you ''don't'' want to do that. *smirk* [[spoiler: When I learned that body thief Zamasu killed the Bulma of Future Trunks' timeline, my hate for him surpassed that of anyone else I've met in my life.]]
* EnragedByIdiocy: There's nothing that irritates me more than stupid people! For one, I spent most of my life with Nappa and his stupidity caused him to get crippled in a fight with that clown Kakarot! Speaking of ''that'' idiot, everything thing he says or does REALLY gets on my nerves! He should consider himself lucky that I haven't blown him into bits!
* EqualOpportunityEvil: *smirk* Well, of course. It doesn't matter what my enemy's gender or race is. I've liquidated and destroyed countless planets in my time, and I've seen at least one woman turn out to be an absurdly powerful android. It should come without question that I'm well past worrying about that. Blue groups, green man, purple, orange, male, female, Namekian, human, who cares? I'll crush them all nevertheless. And I'll accept their blood, sweat, tears, loss, and grovelling all the same!
* EyeScream: During my fight with Kakarot, that damn fool shot me in the eye! You have no idea how much I detested that.
* FaceRealization: I say that was getting soft due to my time on Earth and allowed Babadi's magic to effect me so I could return to my evil ways. [[DumbassHasAPoint As Kakarot pointed out however I would never allow myself to be controlled]], and I broke free. [[HumanityIsInfectious Damn human weak-sauce soft spot nonsense getting to me.]]
* FearlessFool: What? How dare you! [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I am anything but a fool!]] Call me that again and you'll regret it!
* FountainOfExpies: Just like Kakarot inspired countless other writers to model their anime heroes on him, almost any [[TheRival rival to the hero]] in anime since my debut is inspired by me. They're all posers, I can tell you that.
* FountainOfMemes: Apparently, those idiotic internet communities think that the hilarity of my dub line has reached… ''ahem…'' OVER NINE ''THOUSAND''! LISTEN! I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS, NOT YOUR TARGET FOR MOCKERY!!! IF YOU KEEP IT UP, THEN SAD FOR YOU!!!
* FriendlyRivalry: Kakarot likes to think so, but he's got the wrong idea!
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In the late Frieza Saga and the Cell Saga, I'm this to everyone but the clown Kakarot and that foolish earthling woman — even that blasted child who thinks he's my son spends about as much time berating the prince of all Saiyans. Whenever I get hurt, those fools wouldn't come to my aid, no matter how much I demand it! It would be in their best interest to help me. When I first went Super Saiyan, everyone simply just groaned. (Ha! It's just plain jealousy against the Prince of Saiyans!) After I was beaten unconscious by Cell, the (smaller) bald one had the audacity to say that he didn't really care if I die and was only helping me because Trunks believes in me! [[HypocriticalHumor INGRATES!]]
* GeniusBruiser: I'm proud, but don't take that as meaning I can't use my head.
** On Namek, I took advantage that Frieza and his men couldn't sense power levels without their scouters, which thankfully the Namekians destroyed, I ran circles around them and stole all five of the Dragon Balls Frieza had collected.
** When training to achieve a level beyond Super Saiyan, unlike Trunks I realized the innate drawbacks of simply powering up mindlessly, mainly the lack of speed.
** When planning to revive everyone who died since Babadi's arrival on Earth, instead of just asking Namek's dragon to revive everyone killed by Majin Buu like Kakarot planned, I suggested wording the wish that everyone who died on Earth since Babadi's arrival, except for the most evil ones. Kakarot's wish would have brought back Babadi and I never wanted to see that imp again. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial What do you mean, "that wish was about reviving all the people I killed"?!]].
* GoldenSuperMode: Was it not obvious enough? ''Super Saiyan!'' The legend come to life! Even if the Super Saiyan God and Blue forms stand above it, the original Super Saiyan is more than enough for whatever trash thinks they can take me.
* GoodIsNotNice: I agree with the "not nice" part, but good?! Don't insinuate such foolish things! I'm still evil! Fine! Maybe I've done some good acts, but don't think I'm going to soften up for you or the rest of the damned earthlings!

** A dishonorable move! That bastard Cooler always ''claimed'' to be better than his sniveling lizard brother, Freeza, [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged but he kept kicking me in the dick over and over again!]] ''Why?!'' Why did he keep kicking me in the dick?!
** And for mocking me, it seems karma got Kakarot the next time. Not so funny anymore, is it, you damn clown!?
* GunsAreWorthless: What? Did you actually expect those stupid, human toys to be effective against the might of a TRUE Saiyan warrior? [[EvilLaugh Hahahahaha!]] Go ahead! Shoot me! I ''dare'' you, trifling worms.

* AdaptationalHeroism: ABSURD! I am NOT some goody-two-shoes hero, let me make that clear! Alright, I admit that in [[WebAnimation/LegendADragonBallTale this alternate timeline]], I did conduct myself with a bit more nobility, but it was solely because that [[Characters/DragonBallBroly giant crybaby]], the one from the Broly saga[[note]]The analogy to the Android saga, not the post-Tournament of Power saga[[/note]], was making a mockery of our Saiyan race... Oh, very well. In that timeline, it seems we thrived without that lizard's presence, which might explain my more heroic demeanor. Satisfied? And yes, [[PetTheDog I did tell I did suggest to that clown to marry that Earth woman]]... Hold on! Why am I sharing this with you? [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like I actually care about that clown]]!

* AbusiveParent: If there is something I am not proud of, it's how I treated [[FutureBadass Trunks]] when I first met him. Even when I learned he was my son I was still as terrible to him as I was to everyone else, and he still risked his life to save me from Cell. Seeing him killed later provided the wake up call I needed, and I vowed to treat the Trunks of my timeline better, as well as Bra/Bulla. Wait, what are you insinuating?! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It is not like I]] ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial care that much]]'' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial about them or anything]]. It is just I cannot deny that they have lots of untapped potential, despite being half-bloods, so I may be able to make great warriors out of them yet. That'll show Kakarot and his slacker of a son!
* AchievementsInIgnorance: I've been told I was actually winning my first fight with Kakarot, but since I couldn't sense power levels I didn't realize it. Apparently he was taking that Kaioh-whatever-he-called it beyond levels its creator considered safe to even the odds with me and the strain of it was worse for him than the damage I was taking from it. By the time I [[OneWingedAngel turned into an Ozaru]] I actually had him on the ropes.
* ActionDad: Oh. That princess Trunks[[note]]'''Trunks:''' Dad! I'm not a girl! '''Me:''' SHUT YOUR MOUTH - THIS IS MY PAGE![[/note]] and my darling Bulla? Don't think just because I have two kids with that Earth woman means I have gone soft. I became even stronger than ever. Strong enough to overpower that entry-level destroyer god who threw away his ideals in that multiversal tournament like a damned idiot.
* AdaptationalHeroism: NONSENSE! I ''AM'' NOT SOME GOODY-TWO-SHOES HERO BY ANY MEANS! Ok, I did act more nobly in this [[WebAnimation/LegendADragonBallTale alternate timeline]] but it was only because that [[Characters/DragonBallBroly giant crybaby]] was making a mockery out of our race... oh. Ok fine. In that timeline it appears that we thrived with the lack of that cumstained lizard and hence, explains why I acted more like your so-called hero. Happy? Then, [[PetTheDog I did tell that clown to marry that other Earth woman]]... wait! Hey! Why should I be telling you all that? Slush! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like really care at all for that clown]]!
* AdaptationalJerkass: Apparently, I'm a lot more of a bastard, or as some of you on Earth like to put it, an asshole, verbally in the [[Creator/TeamFourStar TFS]] [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged retelling]] of my story and in the first [[Creator/{{Funimation}} FUNimation]] English dub than in canon.

** Complete crap! There is no warrior in the universe that can match my strength, and especially not these foolish earthlings and that clown Kakarot!
** To prove my point, after our first battle, Kakarot acknowledged I was indeed this trope to him. [[BlatantLies And wouldn't you know it, I still am.]]
** What!? No, don't pester me about that "you are number one" spiel from back when Kid Buu was beating Kakarot to a pulp, THAT NEVER HAPPENED! GET OUT OF HERE!
* AmazonChaser: Saiyans are wired to be attracted to women who are strong and feisty, and I am no exception to this rule; neither is Kakarot, his first son, or my son. And before you ask, it is safe to assume that Saiyan women have the same wiring towards Saiyan men. While that crazy Bulma woman appears to be your average human single-digit power level, I quickly discovered that it is wise not to underestimate her, as she can be pretty damn headstrong, especially when she gets one of her wild ideas. And she never appears to afraid of me in the slightest... Which is ''good!'' You think I'm afraid of those tirades!? I wouldn't have settled for some alien mate if I wasn't sure she was the best alien mate available.
* AntiHero: Hero is such a stretch, but nonetheless, I AM THE GREATEST EXAMPLE OF THIS TROPE IN ALL ANIME AND MANGA! THOSE OTHER CHARACTERS FROM THE OTHER SHOWS SHOULD BE THANKING ME FOR PAVING THE WAY FOR THEM!
* AntagonistInMourning: It is not like I ever missed that moron and his incessant prattle, but I must admit I had a hard time figuring out what to do with myself during those seven years Kakarot was dead. That bastard tricked me with that HeroicSacrifice! He should have met his defeat at ''my'' hands, damn it! Thankfully he is around again, so I might still have the chance to show him once and for all...
** [[Anime/DragonBallZTheHistoryOfTrunks My future self]] apparently also had this when that idiot Kakarot died from that heart virus.
* AttackAttackAttack
** Yes, of course, what other way to attack ''is there''? Take your time? Waiting for your opponent to make the first move? Gauge their strength? Let them tire themselves? That's all for lesser mortals than myself!
** In the ''Dragon Ball Super'' manga I was finally able to equally match that clown's power level, only for him to resort to trickery, constantly varying his tactics and slapping me around until I realized I had transformed while he was still in his normal state! After this and the humiliations of Hit, Black, Jiren and Moro I decided to study on Yadrat, see if there was something Kakarot learned from the non-combatant rac* AbusiveParent: If there's one thing that I regret, it's how I treated [[FutureBadass Trunks]] when I first met him. I was just as terrible to him as I was to everyone else, even after learning he was my son. Yet, he still risked his life to save me from Cell. Witnessing his sacrifice later was a wake-up call for me. I vowed to treat my own Trunks better in our timeline, and even Bra/Bulla. But don't get any funny ideas! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like I]] ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial care that much]]''. It's just that I can't deny their untapped potential, despite being half-bloods. I might turn them into formidable warriors. That should put Kakarot and his lazy son in their place!
* AchievementsInIgnorance: I've been told that in my first fight with Kakarot, I was actually winning. However, my inability to sense power levels at the time kept me in the dark. It turns out he was pushing that Kaioh-whatever technique beyond safe levels just to level the playing field, and the strain it put on him was worse than the damage I was inflicting. By the time I [[OneWingedAngel transformed into an Oozaru]], I had him on the ropes, all without even realizing it.
* ActionDad: Ah, my beloved Trunks – not a girl, I know, but bear with me on this one – and my precious Bulla. Don't for a second think that just because I have two kids with that Earth woman that I've gone soft. I've grown stronger than ever, powerful enough to surpass that entry-level destroyer god who foolishly abandoned his principles in that multiversal tournament.
* AdaptationalHeroism: ABSURD! I am NOT some goody-two-shoes hero, let me make that clear! Alright, I admit that in [[WebAnimation/LegendADragonBallTale this alternate timeline]], I did conduct myself with a bit more nobility, but it was solely because that [[Characters/DragonBallBroly giant crybaby]], the one from the Broly saga[[note]]The analogy to the Android saga, not the post-Tournament of Power saga[[/note]], was making a mockery of our Saiyan race...

[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not like I actually care about that clown]]!
* AdaptationalJerkass: It seems that in the [[Creator/TeamFourStar TFS]] [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged retelling]] of my story and the first [[Creator/{{Funimation}} FUNimation]] English dub, I come across as more of a... well, let's say, a jerk or an asshole, verbally, than I do in the canon version.
