I was living in a fighting game and witnessed Vegeta in battle with a nonspecific old lady character. She beat the shit out of him with her purse and won.

Vegeta vs Cell

"The Saiyan's Arrive!"

Marisa says "Hello!"

this entire situation is so funny not only because vegeta is being his usual arrogant self with a high dose of self confidence for besting goku once, but goku looks so funny, almost petty that he lost because vegeta is gonna shove it in his face for the rest of their lives lmaoooooo

Favorite Vegeta fighting scene?

I think about the Broly vs Vegeta fight the normal amount, especially how they really show the gracefulness in Vegeta’s fighting and how much in control he is.

He's also extremely limber and regularly uses gymnastics as part of his fighting style.

While I love the Saiyan-Namek and Androids-Cell sagas, it's clear that the animation has evolved a lot in Super and there's more focus on their techniques. Of course there are exceptions.

I'd love to hear which Vegeta fights other people like?

The worst part about the Majin Vegeta fight is that Goku is literally LETTING HIM do this...they were both equally strong here, Goku actually little bit more. So why?? "Aww look Vegeta's got a new thing" 😏 fdkfjffjfu the world/their families were being threatened 😩 and they were busy doing THIS

people often talk about how kid trunks absorbed a lot of vegeta's negative traits - cocky, boastful, competitive, prideful - but i feel like i rarely hear people talk about how future trunks has a lot of gohan's negative traits. he obviously comes off more mature because circumstances forced him to grow up quickly (not unlike gohan), but he's also awkward and insecure. he's never sure of his strength, and always seems to blame himself when things go wrong, even if it's beyond his control. he also seems to view fighting the same way as gohan; not something he enjoys, but something necessary, something he has to be good at to keep everyone he loves alive. until meeting frieza, he never would've had a proper victory in his life; everyone around him was always stronger than him, until one day he was suddenly forced into the spotlight as the last fighter able to take on an unbeatable enemy. no wonder they're so alike, they have almost the exact same trauma.

The Haze by Thornhill

Broly: It’s beautiful out here.

Raditz: And quiet.

Vegeta: Too quiet.

Nappa: ...Did we lose someone?

*cut to Goku with a bear in a headlock*

Two proud, fierce, spiky-haired warriors face each other across a rocky chasm… but why do they both feel so strangely familiar to the other?! A battle for honour is surely about to begin!

Through Dragonball, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, Akira Toriyama had a massive influence on my childhood. I think it’s also pretty fair to say that Pokemon, and especially Lance, would not be the same without his stylistic influence on Ken Sugimori’s early work. So, for all the thrills and inspiration, both to myself and many others, thank you so much Toriyama-san, and rest in peace.

I had so much fun designing a Toriyama-style DBZ design for Lance, putting in a bit of flavour from both his Gen 1 red biker and Gen 2 pointed armour looks. The dramatic cape flourish also pulls a bit from his HGSS art pose, just for fun (and flair)

I learnt a lot picking apart and studying different Dragonball panels and colour spreads to make this crossover tribute, but perhaps the most striking thing was re-reading chunks of DBZ and realising just how good at weekly pulp adventure story pacing Toriyama was.

I already knew he had perhaps the best grasp of dynamic, crystal clear action panelling in the business, but his ability to pace out a weekly story and always have some new twist or wrinkle while maintaining a solid, driving central narrative really stood out to me this time. And that’s not even mentioning all the ad-libbing!

One of the greatest to ever do it in so very many different ways - I am sure his work will continue to inspire not just artists in our current generation, but many young artists in the future as well.

Glad to finally have my baby back for a few panels.

Smiling Piccolo is the best Piccolo

Also my fav:

idk if I'm doing kakavege right and at this point I couldn't care less

"woman! woman, it's crying in my ear"

"his name is trunks, and he's crying cuz his papa is doing pushups instead of playing with him!"

"saiyans don't 'play'! we're warriors! i can't fight that"

"you better not! anyway, c'mon, just for a bit"

"....if he pukes on me, i'm leaving the planet"
