"Wagamamma Gokui" A.K.A. "Ultra Ego." A form that Vegeta says isn't to be compared to Goku's Ultra Instinct, but ironically he still compares and gives it a similar name.
But, what are the abilities of Ultra Ego? Well, many fans say that it gives Vegeta...
The ability to use Hakai energy at a God of Destruction level.
The ability to get stronger from taking damage.
Even though the DBS manga illustrates that Vegeta gets stronger from taking damage when in his Ultra Ego transformation, Ultra Ego DOES NOT give Vegeta the ability to turn damage into fuel. How bold of me to disagree with what is said and shown to the reader!! Well... I have my reasons.
TLDR; Ultra Ego is actually the amplification of your natural abilities & personality along with the ability to use God of Destruction power to a higher degree.
To fully understand my reasoning, let's look at Vegeta's abilities & Ultra Ego's "abilities."
SAIYAN ABILITIES vs ULTRA EGO
VEGETA:
"SAIYAN-POWER": Vegeta gets stronger from taking damage due to the innate Saiyan ability to get stronger during battle. And the thrill of combat is what Saiyans live for.
ULTRA EGO:
"BATTLE SOUL": While taking damage in this transformed state, Vegeta grows stronger due to his so-called "battle soul" burning hot. And as a Saiyan, the thrill of combat is what he lives for.
VEGETA:
HAKAI TECHNIQUE: Vegeta learned how to use Hakai energy from Beerus.
ULTRA EGO:
HAKAI TECHNIQUE: While in this transformed state, Vegeta is granted greater power to create stronger Hakai attacks that he could not perform prior to this God of Destruction transformation.
VEGETA:
ATTITUDE: Arrogant.
ULTRA EGO:
ATTITUDE: Egomaniac.
Now, what I stated at the begining is making sense. Saiyans already get stronger from taking damage & Vegeta can use the Hakai technique in his base form. Ultra Ego is meant to greatly amplify what Vegeta can naturally do & has learned.
Furthermore, we can examine the traits of another mortal who used a God of Destruction transformation; Toppo from the DBS Anime Continuity.
THE POWER OF A GOD OF DESTRUCTION
TOPPO
VEGETA
Ultra Ego is simply a God of Destruction transformation that alters the appearance, greatly amplifies power & natural abilities, & allows the user to use GoD level Hakai attacks.
It's literally the same type of power as Toppo's Hakaishin form from the DBS Anime Continuity, except Anime Toppo & Manga Vegeta use Hakai abilities differently. The manga decides to shift focus soley on a single type of Hakai attack; the "explosive" Hakai. But there are other Hakai techniques performed in both the anime continuity & manga continuity; Explosive, Sand, Disenigration.
TO SUMMARIZE:
WHAT IS ULTRA EGO?
Obviously, Ultra Ego is simply God of Destruction power just as the title for DBS Chapter 75 informs us. Vegeta just makes up a name for the power on the fly.
WHAT DOES GOD OF DESTRUCTION POWER DO?
Beerus taught Vegeta that GoD power is unbounded. Meaning "Ultra Ego" is a type of limit-breaking power. Similarly, the limit-breaking power of SSBE is referred to as "boundless energy."
However, Ultra Ego allows you to push yourself beyond your limit until you completely exhaust yourself & fall out of the GoD transformation. SSBE doesn't let the body get pushed to such an extreme that leaves you completely vulnerable for the sake of power that will burn out.
We can conclude that what the limit-breaking power of "Ultra Ego" does is...
alter the appearance of a mortal using the GoD form
increase strength & durability
enhance the natural abilities & the strength of techniques
grant the user to use GoD level Hakai attacks
amplify the personality of the user
EXTRA:
By looking at context clues & using some deductive reasoning, it appears that ONLY when Vegeta is engaged in battle while using the Ultra Ego form, there is "no limit" for his God of Destruction power.
But, since Vegeta is not a true GoD like Beerus, once Vegeta runs out of "fuel" or when he powers down from his Ultra Ego form, the extra strength that he gained through taking damage during combat is gone because the power boosts leave when the Ultra Ego power leaves. Vegeta will have to restart his power progression all over again whenever he transforms back into Ultra Ego.
From my understanding, Ultra Ego appears to function something like this...
“Welp, this tournament of power’s not gonna instigate itself!”
I’ve been impressed with Toyotaro’s leaner, meaner versions of the Universe 6 and Zamasu sagas, so I was hoping he would work the same magic on the build-up to the Tournament of Power. Unfortunately, I’m a bit disappointed. I think Episodes 68-96 anime took way too long to get there, but Chapters 27-32 of the manga seem to go too quickly. I guess that shouldn’t surprise me, as there’s a lot of middle ground between 29 anime episodes and six manga chapters.
So you know the drill. I’m going to highlight stuff that the manga did differently, starting with this Beerus/Vegeta rematch that happens right before Goku goes to Beerus’ planet and reminds Zeno of the tournament he promised.
This always struck me as a plot dangler from the anime, because we see Goku and Vegeta get a lot stronger over the course of DBS, and yet we never find out if they‘ve improved enough to match Beerus. Sure, Beerus clobbered them both in Battle of Gods, but now they know how to do Super Saiyan Blue. Well, in this chapter, Beerus scoffs at the idea that the Saiyans will ever be his rivals, and the Oracle Fish insists that it’s true, so he challenges Vegeta to see what progress he’s made.
And the answer is “not enough”, though Vegeta does a lot better than he did the last time he fought Beerus, so there’s no shame in it.
Of course, this doesn’t take into account Goku’s Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken level, but that doesn’t exist in the manga. Instead we have this “Completed” Super Saiyan Blue form, where Goku learned how to perfect the transformation. Vegeta reveals he can do the same thing in this chapter, but it’s still not enough.
We also get this scene in Grand Zenos’ Palace where they discuss the problem of too many universes before Goku arrives. The Zenos are playing some sort of game involving the universes, and they each note how there’s too many of them, and since the mortals aren’t developing much in most of the universes, there’s little point in observing them all. So they contemplate erasing eight universes, and that’s when Goku shows up to talk about the tournament.
So we get a bunch of scenes where the gods are summoned to Zeno’s palace for the announcement. In particular, I’m confused by this one of Sidra and Roh discussing the destruction of a planet. Unlike Beerus, Sidrah seems to take the job very seriously, and he carefully calculates the pros and cons of his decision before acting. Also, Roh seems very interested in the process. This would be weird enough, but in the anime, these two are shown to be a lot more craven and opportunistic. So I’m not sure what to take from this.
At the palace, the Grand Minister asks about the extra guy in the Universe 11 contingent, and Belmod introduces Toppo as his apprentice, as he plans to retire soon. In the anime, Toppo is introduced as Khai’s bodyguard, and I’m pretty sure the “Candidate God of Destruction” thing will get brought up later, but it’s strange that they didn’t explain it in his debut.
I guess I’ll talk about it here, since this seems to be the first time it gets brought up. Beerus and Whis have hinted at the idea of Goku or Vegeta training to take Beerus’ place someday, but the Saiyans don’t seem interested in the job, so it never goes anywhere. With Toppo, we have confirmation that mortals can be promoted to the rank of Hakaishin, which implies that Belmod and all the other Destroyers were once mortals themselves.
So the Grand Minister announces the Tournament, but the Zeno from the destroyed timeline doesn’t know what a martial arts match is like, so we get the Zeno Expo. But in this version, it’s a battle royale of all the Destroyers.
It starts out as an 11-on-1 fight against Beerus, partly because they blame him for Goku getting them into this mess, and also they’re still sore at him for the trouble he caused long ago. According to Whis, Zeno held a hide-and-seek tournament, and Beerus fell asleep during it and ruined the whole thing. The others managed to calm Zeno down, but they’ve resented Beerus for it ever since.
But Beerus does surprisingly well, and soon enough, the other Destroyers begin to turn on one another in an effort to win.
Oh, and here’s this bonus comic where Trunks decides to return to his own timeline, or at least an altered version of it. This doesn’t make a lot of sense, given how this was Whis’ idea, and Trunks wouldn’t have considered this on his own.
Back to the rumble, a bunch of stuff happens, and it’s hard to keep track of any of it, which is probably by design, since not even the Zenos can follow any of this.
So the Grand Minister calls off the match and disqualifies everyone. Zeno nearly abandons the Tournament idea altogether, when Goku asks him to give it another chance, since mortal battles won’t be anything like that.
Fortunately, there’s a mortal in the house who can face off with Goku, and this gives the Zenos a chance to road test some new rules. No weapons, no killing, and no flying. Apparently these are all for the sake of making the action more fun for the Zenos to watch. I don’t get the no-flying thing, but the Tournament of Power was a great time, so I guess the Zenos know what they’re doing. I mean, you don’t become the Kings of Everything without knowing a thing or two.
Goku transforms, which excites the Zenos, so they want to see all of Goku’s transformations. He goes to Super Saiyan 2, which is always a treat to see, but the Zenos aren’t thrilled with this one, so Goku has to go to Super Saiyan 3 right away. Look, Zenos, you may be all powerful, but Super Saiyan 2 Goku kicks ass. Maybe you’ll understand when you’re older.
Soon enough Goku ramps up to Super Saiyan God, and all the Destroyers are impressed to see him fighting at that level. Wait, if they’re fighting at the same level, then how is this any easier for the Zenos to follow?
Goku tries to polish Toppo off by turning Super Saiyan Blue, but Toppo takes him to Dick Kick City first, and wins the match by ring-out.
I think many of you had already seen this drawing, but things happened in the Manga and I must update it. This is my version of Vegeta Hakaishin (aka God of Destruction). As we still don't know the colors of him, I worked with what I saw and read on social networks. Hope you like the edit.

Yo creo que muchos de ustedes ya habían visto este dibujo, pero, pasaron cosas en el Manga y debo actualizarlo. Esta es mi versión de Vegeta Hakaishin (también conocido como Dios de la Destrucción). Como aún no sabemos sus colores, trabaje con lo que vi y leí en redes sociales. Espero que les guste la edición.
Thank you to everyone who came out, and everyone that stopped to look at my artwork, and everyone that bought some art! 🙏🏽 #freecomicbookday #fortressofsolitidecomics #hakaishinvegeta #hakaishin #vegeta #supersaiyan #supersaiyangod #supersaiyanblue #godofdestruction #ReddRyanart #freecomicbookday #ifyoucantthrowyourownshitthatsnotjungle #artkillsboredom #artworkiswork 📸:@jen_to_the_yes (at Fortress of Solitude) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSkPZlKFAJE/?utm_medium=tumblr
This episode isn’t much, but it is packed full of Super Saiyan 2 goodness, and that’s something at least.
So last time, Goku Black’s Time Ring drew him into a temporal distortion left behind by Trunks’ time machine, allowing him to follow Trunks into the present day main timeline, where Dragon Ball Super lives.
Beerus and Whis observe these events from deck chairs, and their sole contribution to this episode is to observe the Time Ring on Goku Black’s hand, and to inform the others that only Kaioshin are authorized to use them. They also only have the ability to take a Kai into the future, since travel to the present is forbidden, even among gods.
So Goku jumps at the chance to fight his doppelgänger. He spends the whole fight in Super Saiyan 2, and never goes beyond that because he wants to see what Black can do. The dialogue for this episode makes it sound like Goku’s using Super Saiyan 1, but look at the bangs. That’s an on-model SSJ2 Goku if I ever saw one. I kept taking screencaps of it because I just find the look very refreshing.
Wait, this one got it wrong. Maybe Goku had some trouble for a moment and accidentally slipped down to SSJ1. The point is I can tell. It’s like the old sailor’s used to say. If hairline ye view, ‘tis Super Saiyan Two.
Mmm! Yessir.
That’s the stuff.
Lookit this proud dad using the transformation his son invented. He’s great.
He probably has Gohan’s theme music in his head the whole time he uses it, too.
I just can’t get enough. I can’t wait for Budokai Tenkaichi 4 to come out so I can main SSJ2 Goku.
Well, the fight’s pretty decent, but not much of note really happens. It sort of lends credence to my point that even a weak Dragon Ball anime can still be fun if you just let the characters fight. Goku Black holds his own in base form, which seems strange. Also he seems to enjoy getting beat up for some reason. And then he finds himself being pulled back into the time distortion, which sends him back to where he came from. But before he goes...
... He spots Trunks’ time machine, and destroys it.
This outcome seems to satisfy Black, as this means Trunks is now trapped in the other timeline, with no way to return and oppose him. But... he wanted to kill everyone on Earth, right? I mean, doesn’t it bother him that Trunks got away? Or that there’s a whole other Earth with people still living on it? The priorities don’t make sense, and it’s not going to get any more sensible later on, either.
There’s a stupid bit where the Pilaf gang dress up as firefighters to put out the time machine, and Pilaf spends way too long babbling about the reward he’ll ask for this service. Literally every time these guys are on screen, it makes no fucking sense. They just waste time and no one really pays attention to them.
Trunks asks Beerus if he can borrow a ride home with his Time Ring, but Beerus doesn’t have one, because he’s a Hakaishin, not a Kaioshin. And even if he had one, he wouldn’t let Trunks use it because he’s adamant that mortals shouldn’t travel through time.
Vegeta tells Trunks not to give up, and that they’ll find another way, which Beerus also takes issue with. As far as he’s concerned, Trunks should give up, and the destruction of the time machine is a favorable outcome, since it prevents further meddling with time. Beerus really, really sucks in this saga. I mean, all he does is sit around doing as little as possible while repeating his stance on time travel, a thing that kind of already happened several times. He won’t shut up about it, and yet he’s too lazy to actually stop anyone from doing it, so why is he here?
Whis eats another fish sausage, because eating junk food is all this show is really about anymore.
Fortunately, Bulma has a solution. She can’t rebuild the Time Machine from scratch, even with her future self’s notes to work from. But it turns out she doesn’t need to to.
I just want to point out that one thing this saga did get right was ditching Bulma’s Resurrection F costume in favor of this hot labcoat number. Her hair’s all mussed up, her labcoat is soaked with fish sausage grease. Vegeta’s a lucky man, I tell you hwat.
Check this shit out.
Bulma had a spare time machine all along. This is the one Cell used when he came back from his alternate timeline. Bulma’s had it in storage ever since, and while it’s in bad shape, at least it isn’t on fire like the other one.
You know, it probably still has fuel in it, now that I think about it. When Cell stole it, the Trunks of that world was about to embark on a round-trip to the past, but Cell only took it one way. So there must still be half a tank in there.
Meanwhile, back in the dark future timeline, Mai is still alive, even though Goku Black blew her up and Trunks cradled her in his arms and cried out that Black had killed her. Well, forget all that. She’s alive. This arc sucks. You know what, I’m gonna look at one more still of Super Saiyan 2 Goku. As a treat.
