Stacking more excuses onto the scene doesn't make it work better. It makes the shilling more obvious.
"Vegeta was able to outperform Goku because he was really angry!" is stupid. But,
"Vegeta was able to outperform Goku because he was really angry! And also he still has his Majin power boost! And he spontaneously unlocked Super Saiyan 3! Oh, and he's also been training harder than Goku somehow! Shit, what else can we throw on there?" is just desperate.

So doing anything with Vegeta was just a bad idea.
It's not what they did that's the problem. The very premise itself is where the flaw lies.
Makes sense.
One Strip! One Strip!More or less. At it's core, the problem is that they wanted to have a scene where violence against his Sexy Lamp pisses off Vegeta so much that he surpasses Goku.
The correct way to depict this scene would have been to draw a giant red X over it, move it off the storyboards and into the garbage can, and never touch it again.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Despite making even less sense than what actually happened, I'd have no problem with that.
One Strip! One Strip!Shame Toriyama has no interest in doing much with his female characters.
Yes, Bulma is still relevant, but Chi-chi was just him punishing himself for some strange reason (since he disliked drawing her), 18 was just a reward for Krillin, and Videl... Videl got hitched to a wagon that he pushed right off a cliff and then decided lol now you're a housewife. And she was a normal human anyway, so how far she could have gone was always limited.
I admit, I'd love Super Saiyan Bulma... I wonder if they can wish themselves into Saiyans?
One Strip! One Strip!It doesn't matter. If they made a new female character, all that'd be important is 1) who she's getting married to and 2) how much cleavage she shows.
Somehow, Vados hasn't gone into either of those yet. But she's more of a support to Champa than an actual character.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!![]()
Yes, but Naruto did that because Madara was pretty much completely invincible at that point and Kishimoto had to replace him with another villain who was infinitely less of a threat.
That's basically the same as if instead of beating Freeza, Goku and Vegeta both got killed, then Whis appeared to both of them separately, brought them back to life, gave them more power and set them off... only for a previously unmentioned character exploded out of Freeza's tummy, proving to be stronger than Freeza and then doing absolutely nothing, saying nothing, taking orders from another character that was basically nonexistent up to that point.
And then that villain despite being more powerful gets defeated by Goku and Vegeta. But not because of their own power, rather because of the power that they were given by their ancestors.
Seriously though, just because Naruto did it doesn't mean it's a good idea. In fact, it frequently means the opposite.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariIt's just that's the only thing he ever does in the Naruto thread; complain about how terrible everything is, cycle through like six or seven characters about how terrible they are, and never actually say anything positive at all in the thread. Seriously, after the 500th complaint, it gets annoying.
Let's see if you can get past my Beelzemon. Mephiles, WARP SHINKA!Still criticizing me, technically still against the rules. Not that I mind all that much, but you might wanna keep it in mind for someone with thinner skin, who might actually be offended over being called a Negative Neal in an internet forum.
Also, I've actually gotten banned over stuff like that. No, really.

Or how about don't do any of that.
That's right. I'm being the party pooper. I'm proud of it, so go ahead and post the Guru clip.
Also, they could have just said Vegeta retained a bit of the Majin Power up, or something, and that was the source of his (uncharacteristic) rage power-up.
But they didn't, so they are as dumb as Zelenal.
One Strip! One Strip!
