Biography
Heir to a monarchy destroyed by his own employer, Vegeta spends years working for the man who levelled his planet. His arc is the longest in the franchise: he starts as a methodical exterminator and ends as a fighter protecting a family, without ever giving up his pride or presenting it as a flaw.
Unlike Goku, he theorises. He counts, compares, calculates gaps, and it is that rigour that lets him catch up on stages he did not reach spontaneously. The series rarely rewards him at the moment it should, which explains the loyalty he inspires.
Transformations
In the order the story reveals them.
Dragon Ball Z, episode 31
Vegeta works around the missing moon by producing an equivalent light source himself: the transformation becomes a tactical decision.
Dragon Ball Z, Androids saga
Reached through pure training and sustained frustration rather than through emotional shock.
Dragon Ball Z, Majin Buu saga
He deliberately accepts an outside influence to regain his old hardness. One of the few characters to choose his own corruption.
Dragon Ball Super, Frieza resurrection saga
He reaches the divine register by training with Whis, working on stability rather than on peaks.
