I agree, but putting their own personal interests above the wellbeing of the rest of the universe is entirely consistent with every other boneheaded decision Goku and Vegeta have ever made. Vegetto has their combined poor decision-making skills.
I mean, at this point, Buu has already killed the entire planet, save for Dende and Mr. Satan. That a wish will be made on the Dragon to revive his victims once all is said and done is an absolute fact at this juncture.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.The real reason for getting rid of Vegeto is that there could be no more plot otherwise. He is simple too strong. I mean, he was, by far, the most powerful entity in the manga in just Super Saiyan (in just Base in the anime) and he should at least have Super Saiyan 2 if not 3.

Eh, if that were the problem, he could just be written as not so strong. Vegetto only has to be as strong as the plot demands.
I think the reason Vegetto had to go is because he was a cool concept and a lot of fun to have around, but not worth permanently sacrificing the characters of Goku and Vegeta.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I agree with Zelennal and Tobias Drake. Vegito was Too Cool to Live, simple as that. Potara didn't have to exist if the point was to have Goku and Vegeta fuse in order to beat Buu and it was likely only done becuase the Fusion Reborn Movie already had them use the dance.
Oh, I don't mean to not have him be very strong, just...strong enough. If his strength was a problem, he could have simply beaten Buuhan, rather than effortlessly humiliating him. If he was meant to be competitively feasible, Toriyama could have written him powering up to Super Saiyan 2 or 3 and giving Buuhan a good fight but not dominating.
Battle powers by the time of the Buu Saga are heavily undefined. Everyone's power is only defined in relation to each other, so adjusting positions on the relative scale is easier.
But Vegetto was never going to last because he wasn't worth permanently dissolving Goku and Vegeta's characters, so he gets so shine brightly and be hilarious and awesome for the brief duration of his existence, just 'cause it's cool to watch. He's not staying, so Toriyama doesn't need to worry about his existence making things difficult for future villains.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Vegetto only existed to get Goku back in the spotlight. We already know that Toriyama went from deciding Gohan would be the hero to Goku, it's not like Vegetto was anything more than a step between.
That's why he was written out - not how he'd effect the plot, or wasn't worth the sacrifice of other characters, he never had a chance of even getting that far. As soon as he served his purpose he was done.
It's not "why Vegetto had to go" but "why Vegetto existed".

I think part of the reason I don't like Vegetto is because I read some of Dragon Ball Multiverse and that showed what would have happened if Vegetto didn't get split up when Buu absorbed him.
And if you think other characters get shoved to the sidelines to make room for Goku and Vegeta now.....
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseThat is probably the last place you should base your interpretation of any character on. The author himself admitted he blatantly ignores canon and substitutes it with his own preferences.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Not that we don't critique the saga enough, but I honestly think Gogeta would've made more sense as a fusion anyway since he ended up coming up with an Ass Pull to defuse the supposedly permanent Vegetto.
At the same time, we understand why Toriyama did it and enjoy the deliciousness that is Vegetto's awesome anyway.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Vegeto basically has what would have been Gogeta's characterization if Fusion Reborn didn't decide to make him a robutt.
My various fanfics.Fusion Reborn needs more Gogeta in it. I mean, I know he's just too powerful to have a 30 minute fight with Janemba... but you can just give Janemba a third form to make up for that, and have Gogeta murderize him by going SSJ 3.

I like to think Vegetto didn't want to kill his own children; even if he can just them, that doesn't necessarily mean he wants to.
