If Vegeta grew a mustache, he'd look stupid.tongue

Depends on the type of moustache, though, and the situation he had it in.

Vegeta Sr. totally rocked his facial hair, after all.

King Vegeta had an Evil Goatee. That's much easier to get away with.

It's really hard to pull off a solitary moustache today.

Agreed. It's possible to sympathize with Vegeta solely because he tries so hard and it amounts to nothing and then he gets the shit kicked out of him. As a genocidal, egotistical monster, abject failure is his one redeeming quality.

No, he did and he lost. If you mean not letting Cell transform, how on Earth would that allow him to test the limits of his power? It's like you people make a deliberate effort NOT to understand Vegeta's character for the sake of inane jokes.

He, for the entirety of his life, looked up to the legend of the Super Saiyan, and then some teenage girl comes out of nowhere and completely trashes him despite him finally achieving the form. Cell was his chance to reaffirm that Saiyan blood > everything else, and letting Cell become complete was the only way to prove that.

He fought tooth and nail against Perfect Cell and lost. So what? It's as much on Krillin for not destroying 18 as it's on Vegeta. Krillin's reasoning is even flimsier than Vegeta's since all he wanted was to get laid, whereas Vegeta has deep-seeded psychological issues that compel him to do what he did. Gohan also succumbed to these impulses later in the Arc, as did Goku an arc before with Frieza.

Yes, I am quite nettled.

Probably because no one fanboys Krillin like they do Vegeta for some reason.

Notice that I said

If Vegeta had "fought his hardest" against Semi-Perfect Cell, Perfect Cell never would have happened.

What he did or did not do after Cell had achieved Perfection is no defense against that.

Not wanting to murder someone who's never done anything wrong who happens to be attractive?

Versus not destroying someone that's already killed thousands of people for the sake of your damned ego?

...What?

What world do you live in?

[up][up] Yep. Things like that are exactly why Vegeta is the Chew Toy. It's funny to see him suffer because he's such a raging asshole when things are going his way.

Being a poor winner makes it entertaining to watch him be a poor loser.

Vegeta's a character who you're supposed to dislike enough that his status as the universe's bitch is fun for us.

Hey, look. This guy's an asshole.

Now let's watch him suffer for it.

Actually, that explains a lot. Vegeta is just such an ass, even after his Heel-Face Turn, that he's the one character who can be beaten up while still having us sort of wanting to root for the villain. See, Vegeta vs Freeza, Vegeta vs #18, Vegeta vs Perfect Cell...in all cases, he sort of deserved what was coming to him.

I'm not sure about that comparison either. Sasuke is a terrorist. Vegeta is an extinction event.

Black hair, axes to grind with the protagonist, foil traits. Never mind. I see it.

Doesn't it say somewhere on this wiki that Kishimoto read up about rival characters when creating Sasuke? Because then it sort of makes sense that Sasuke has comparisons to Vegeta.

This wiki says Sasuke is based on Hiei though.

He's poorly based if that is the case.
