Who is stronger? son goku vs vegeta
Dragon Ball Z is definitely one of the most popular anime shows of the last 30 years. Comparing the two Saiyans on the show Son Goku and Vegeta to see who is stronger and more powerful has always been a hot topic. Goku fans would argue that Goku is stronger because he reached Super Saiyan 3 form that Vegeta hasn’t. Vegeta fans would say that Vegeta surpassed Goku by achieving a new form, Super Saiyan Blue 2 when he pushed the limits of him and went beyond Super Saiyan. Now let’s do a closer comparison from a comprehensive perspective.
Goku vs Vegeta first fight
In their first fight, as Vegeta arrived on Earth trying to destroy it, Goku defeated Vegeta. But Goku only won the fight because he got help from Krillin and Gohan, Vegeta couldn’t have lost him if he had the chance to fight Goku one on one. So we can say that, when Goku and Vegeta first met, Vegeta was more powerful than Goku. After the first fight, both Goku and Vegeta had gone through more training and growth. The rivalry between Goku and Vegeta continues throughout the entire series.
Who is more powerful throughout the show?
When asked who is the most powerful in the entire series, Goku is definitely the winner. Because Goku has been the warrior to defeat some of the most powerful enemies, while Vegeta, however, did not make it. To be fair, at first Vegeta was surely more powerful than Goku. But as the anime show goes on, we can say that Goku has always been one step ahead in terms of power upgrade. Goku unlocked Super Saiyan form long before Vegeta and even upgraded to Super Saiyan 3 form while Vegeta didn’t even know of his existence.
Who is the better fighter?
Although Vegeta doesn’t have as much power as Goku, he surely knows how to fight better than Goku. Vegeta’s fighting skills surpass Goku’s not only in techniques but also in strategies. If we remember his fight during the Majin Buu Saga, Vegeta won because he was a better fighter, not because he was more powerful. The reason for this is probably that Goku was trained by martial arts masters while Vetega was trained by Saiyan warriors.
Who has better attacks?
Although both Goku and Vegeta have powerful attacks, Goku mainly acquired his attacks by learning or copying from his allies or other warriors. For example, Goku learned the Kamehameha attack after seeing it performed by others. On the other hand, most of Vegeta’s signature attacks like Galick Gun, Big Bang attack are invented by himself. So we can say that while his attacks are more or less on the same level, Vegeta is much more creative in terms of developing his fighting moves.
In summary
From all the points mentioned above, we come to the conclusion that Goku is stronger than Vegeta in terms of power increase and transformations. However, Vegeta is much better at fighting skills and attack creation. Because of this balance, we’ve enjoyed seeing the rivalry between Goku and Vegeta throughout the show.
