Hey, why does Vegeta insist on calling Goku Kakarot if he knows Goku generally doesn't acknowledge that name? Why doesn't Goku protest like he did with Raditz and other saiyans? Would that line about some friends calling him that from Broly be the answer? Again, why does Vegeta do it? Is Vegeta a troll doll?
This shall be my true, Start of DarknessEver think that perhaps Vegeta feels...strange around Kakarot...when they're training...fighting...
This shall be my true, Start of DarknessVegeta calls Goku by his Saiyan name because Vegeta only recognizes Goku as a Saiyan. Vegeta takes pride in his Saiyan heritage no matter what point in the series you're looking at. Goku doesn't say anything because he's come to terms with the fact that he's Saiyan and has no problems with it ("Hi! My name's Goku and I'm a Saiyan from Earth!"). Honestly, Goku probably takes a bit of pride in his heritage as well, just not to the level Vegeta does.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Uh no, the commentator, who was surprised by Roshi's power level, was also 'surprised' by Kuririn displaying equal if not even more fighting power than the turtle hermit. Krillen's still stronger(which shouldn't surprise anyone)

Maybe there's a little more than just a rivalry going on in Vegeta's head...maybe Bulma is a cover for something?
I don't think so, actually.
I mean, people can ship what they ship, and that's fine but.
Vegeta is an elitist, classist asshole, and is offended by Goku's existence half the time. When he isn't whining
.
Generally speaking, high class people prefer other high-class people, even foreigners, over commoners of any nationality.
wait what
what the fuck bulma
I don't think Vegeta's relationship with Goku can be described as anything but "antagonistic" up to and including the Buu Arc. He wants to show that some third rate bastard surpassing him even briefly was a fluke, and restore his and his ego's rightful place at the center of the universe.
Vegeta's relationship with Bulma is. More complicated than that.

Wait...did he seriously just whine about Goku picking on him?

He was totally having an off day. That much was explicit. He wasn't just generically being a jerk; he was distant, a specific flavor of jerk. His body was here but his mind was off somewhere else - in this case, obsessing over his own acknowledgment of Goku's superiority.
He'd faced the truth of Goku being better than him and now he wanted to be training to make that stop being true, and anything that tried to pull his mind away from making plans for how to surpass Goku was met with coldness.
Except food. For a Saiyan, there is always time for food.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I think the funniest thing (besides "why won't you leave me alone", obviously) is that Vegeta just buys it.
Goku doesn't have to prove that he's stronger, Vegeta just instantly accepts it to be true.
That's fantastic.
...I think the thing about Saiyan appetites is why I sorta like Gine.
Logically, a butcher/fry cook/chef should be a ridiculously important job in Saiyan society. Possibly even the most dangerous, if you think about it.
I do, however, feel that Vegeta is very. Uncomfortable, with displays of affection in public.
Royalty tends to be very conservative with that sort of thing, and Saiyan royalty probably even more so.
I think Vegeta is someone who would save more "normal" or "domestic" behavior for a private setting where it can't be used against him.

That's something I admire about Chi-Chi. She had to feed first one, then two, and finally three Saiyan appetites. Sure, getting the food is a thing; Goku hunts when he's alive/at home, and her dad's loaded. But that's not the real achievement.
The real achievement is that she cooked the food. Bulma also has three Saiyan mouths to feed once Bra is born, but she's a wealthy heiress living in a huge compound. I'm sure she has a team of well-paid chefs that work around the clock. She's probably never touched a stove in her life.
Chi-Chi has no such life of luxury, and personally prepared every metric ton of food that her husband and sons inhale like a vacuum. Chi-Chi deserves a f*cking medal.

Thinking about the logistics of it all is definitely impressive to me.
In many ways the Son family is really damn lucky they didn't have more kids.
And that they didn't have family members like Uncle Raditz and Grandma Gine and Grandpa Bardock and second-cousin Turles living with them.
Her mom's a good cook, but I remember some indications that Bulma herself. Isn't. Really really isn't.
Also Bulma makes robots.

The power level of one of Freeza's mooks is anywhere between 1 and 160,000.
