Which is pretty rare for Vegeta when you think about it. Usually when he does something stupid out of ego, it massively backfires on him.
As for him acting the same around Goku... well if you were Vegeta, you'd get annoyed when someone like Goku gets ahead of you too.
That being said, I'm gonna say that Both Sides Have a Point. Vegeta is being played in a way that lets them keep him the same, or show he's different depending on the situation.
His older obsessed self comes out mostly in regards to Goku, who's face he's been trying to punching for so long that I can imagine why it's hard for him to not be pissed when Goku gets ahead of him again. Around other characters (like Cabba), that greater empathy that he's developed can come to the surface.
In fact, it's even lampshaded when Goku notices Vegeta encouraging Cabba and notes that Vegeta would never talk that way to him, with Piccolo basically saying Well yeah, because you're you.
Winner Rob.

One Strip! One Strip!Then that still means I win, because you are always right.
It also means you win, but I take what I can get.
One Strip! One Strip!Well, Super has been much kinder to Vegeta than Z ever was. He's been used as the worf all of once, against Hit, and that was after he took down three opponents in a row. So yeah, far cry from Vegeta's days as the designated punching bag.
And even then, the manga threw in Worf Had the Flu (although I think that was less about helping Vegeta and more about trying to make some goddamn sense of Goku fighting Hit in base).
Speaking of manga version of that fight, boy does manga Hit comes off as much more of an generic arrogant jerk compared to anime Hit who's a Consummate Professional who loosens in the course of battle. It also makes him throwing the fight with Monaka make less sense.
What is up with this translation?

This sounds like something I'd say to close friends, not subjects and underlings.
EDIT: VIZ is doing the DBS manga now, somehow.

Some might not agree, but I find humour in the idea that a cute little dude like that not only has the power to destroy entire universes on nothing more than a whim, but talks in such a ridiculously casual manner.
But your mileage may vary on that one.

One Strip! One Strip!There's a difference between "casual talk" and "random swearing", but Mangastream doesn't actually know that. They do this in MHA, too. It's really annoying.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!That expression is generally used casually, yo. He definitely ain't talking like a dignified leader, but with that boss power he really doesn't need to.
Friggin' isn't really a swear though.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I don't get why people insert swearing to make it seem 'casual'. Yes, I know people actually use swearwords in every day talk, but we don't curse on every other fucking sentence.
Yes, that was done deliberately.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariEh, some people do and for some characters I think it works well, but Mangastream doesn't take that into account. Precision F-Strike means nothing to them. And a lot of the time it just seems like they're making up their own swears to seem hardcore or something.

BlackYakuza, are you just trying to disagree with me for the sake of it? Okay, I'll just assume you mean there is also a Toriyama hates Vegeta rumor, because I was talking about the Toriyama felt forced by fans to keep using Goku, when in actuality that was the case with Vegeta. That's not a rumor, there was an anniversary comic where Vegeta mocked the Toribot bot about it.
But no, using a character longer than you intended does not mean you hate them. If that's what you mean I can agree.
