In the world of Dragon Ball, the rivalry between Vegeta and Goku has been a long-standing battle of strength that continues to this day. Both characters are incredibly powerful, yet their personalities and approaches often create contrasting opinions within the fan community. Generally, Goku tends to take the spotlight more often. Today, we will discuss one area where Vegeta surpasses Goku in the Dragon Ball Super anime.
While both are formidable warriors, Vegeta’s character shines as a better parent than Goku when it comes to raising children in Dragon Ball. Indeed, many people consider Vegeta to be a much better father than Goku.
In reality, Saiyans are typically warriors who prioritize combat and training, often disregarding emotional connections or family life, including child-rearing.
However, contrary to what one might expect, Vegeta prioritizes his family life over his desire to fight. Initially, he was not the typical doting father. However, throughout Dragon Ball Z, this character underwent significant development. A turning point came with his marriage to Bulma, leading him to become a responsible and devoted father.
Throughout his journey, Vegeta has focused on training to achieve greater strength, often in direct competition with Goku. Interestingly, since becoming a father, he has taken time out of his rigorous training to assist Trunks in growing up, even participating in family activities like taking Trunks to amusement parks. This effort has helped to strengthen the bonds within the Vegeta family. This has turned the once warlike Saiyan into a loving father figure for his hybrid Saiyan and Earth children.
Vegeta is quite pleased with the arrival of his daughter and even chose a Saiyan name for her. His enthusiasm led him to decline participating in the Tournament of Power in Dragon Ball Super to be present for his daughter’s birth.
In contrast, Goku is known primarily as a fighter, often neglecting family relationships, particularly with his son. He also does not contribute much to the upbringing of his children throughout their formative years. While he may not fit the typical mold of a nurturing father, Goku still loves his son unconditionally.
It can be seen that while Goku and Vegeta share a passion for fighting, their priorities are quite different. Vegeta values his relationships with his children and does not wish to sacrifice them. While both are willing to risk their lives for their loved ones, Goku tends to overlook the responsibilities that come with being a devoted parent.
