I feel like it happened at least once in the past. I don't remember when that was though.

Cause he's not the prince in this universe remember?

I guess in this world, he might still be an elite, but living on a normal salary or whatever...

...or because someone just said fuck Vegeta and tossed him in a shitty hole, which I'm also ok with.

Vegeta didn't buy a home when it was a good time to buy and now doesn't have enough money to live in a nice place anymore.

I've been waiting for twenty years since I saw this in a vision...

Oh, so that was his I wanna be a Super Saiyan moment.

Of course, getting there is just one part of it. If Base Broly is still stronger than Base Vegeta, the latter will be in trouble.

wild mass guess Bardock's plan involves a Deal with the Devil with Raichi, and that's what really ends up with the Saiyans all but extinct. His horror at what he led to and anger at Raichi is what causes Bardock to go Super Saiyan

Finally some challenge!

Also what is up with Brolys left arm in the first panel? It looks like it was cut off just below the elbow.

"I know many people consider Saiyans to be misunderstood little ponies, but I don't."

I mean, let's be fair and use the full quote

> Baddack was greatly emotionally affected when Dodoria killed his mates in the original special, why would he be so heartless now?

There is the fact that these killing were a treason, but in my very own opinion, I just think Baddack isn't reacting like a real Saiyan there. This movie is the start of a series of stories to show good Saiyans, something that I think Toriyama didn't intend at first. Vegeta and Raditz were terrible assholes, and the Saiyans were created to be monsters, "worse than Piccolo".

I know many people consider Saiyans to be misunderstood little ponies, but I don't.

First off, it's interesting that he specifies Raditz and Vegeta, because Nappa, as barbaric and brutal as he is to the Z Warriors, and as much as he is a bloodthirsty, battle-obssessed monster, he's also the most moral of the Saiyans in the Saiyan Saga? Besides Goku and Gohan, I mean.

Like, he initially assumes that when he and Vegeta get the Dragon Balls they will bring Raditz back, is surprised and uncomfortable (in the anime, anyway) when Vegeta says otherwise, and is shocked, infuriated, horrified and betrayed when Vegeta kills him.

There's an. Honor. To Nappa, at least to his fellow Saiyans. Camaraderie. He calls Kakarot a traitor. Seems personally hurt and offended by that betrayal.

Vegeta and Raditz were both kids when Planet Vegeta got blown up, so how much they would really know about it is. Questionable. Like, I'm an adult almost 40 and even I don't know literally everything there is to possibly know about Earth and humans.

And in psychology and neurobiology, there's a documented thing where psychological trauma and loss actually change the brain, on a cellular, electrical, chemical level, especially the younger that trauma is experienced.

It's a whole thing with child soldiers. And Vegeta and Raditz were that, and also lost their entire planet at a very young age.

Judging all Saiyans ever based on them might make narrative sense, but not social or biological or psychological.

I always figured that the point of the scene was to show that Vegeta was an evil fucker even among other Saiyans. He says Nappa wouldn't have wanted to live if he couldn't fight and that it was a disgrace like these were norms of Saiyan culture, but he seemed pretty shocked and betrayed by the fact that Vegeta murdered him. If Raditz was as ruthless as Vegeta, he would have just murdered Goku on sight, but instead he gave him multiple chances to join him instead. Even compared to the other Saiyans, who were barbarians, Vegeta was straight-up evil. Judging the entire race by the standard of Saiyan Saga Vegeta's character ignores literally the entire point of said character.

I suppose Vegeta is a massive outlier...or he was, since he’s mellowed out quite a lot.

Also is it just me or does Broly actually seem more stable now?

That was what it said on the last page, that since Broly was so overwhelmingly powerful that he never needed to go Legendary, he was actually pretty stable and sane.

Because that's how psychology works.

I actually thought it was more because he was allowed to use the power as he saw fit, grow used to it and the lack of being brainwashed that did it.

Shows what I know.
