One of the fan-favorite characters from the iconic Dragon Ball saga is the formidable Vegeta , created by the great Akira Toriyama. The prince of the Saiyan race, Vegeta, was originally introduced as a ruthless conqueror, destroying and invading entire planets in the name of the interstellar tyrant Frieza . 💥
Vegeta has undergone several evolutions during the series. After being defeated by the Z-Warriors and his greatest rival, Goku, he eventually settled on Earth as he trained to surpass Goku and attempt to become the strongest Saiyan. This rivalry would lead him to embrace his own dark force years later and transform into the evil Majin Vegeta .
So who really is this mysterious character? Why does Majin Vegeta attract so much fan interest? Find out without further delay young saiyan! 👊
HOW VEGETA TRANSFORMS INTO MAJIN VEGETA?
100 years after his arrival on planet Earth, the Saiyan Prince's habits had nevertheless calmed down a little and the warrior had calmed down and sided with the earthlings. He even managed to start a family with a character existing since the original saga of the Dragon Ball series, Bulma, with whom he will have two children including a young son named Trunks. He still continued to train every day to become stronger. 🤜
Having developed feelings for all these new things and people, Vegeta suddenly found himself overcome by a feeling of blockage. Especially after Goku died during his fight against Cell and deprived him of the opportunity to reclaim his honor by defeating him in a rematch. This will change when Goku returns to Earth for just one day and the reunited rivals learn that an evil sorcerer named Babidi intended to release the monstrous Majin Boo , in the DBZ series. 📺
Vegeta watched as Babidi's minions were brought under his control through powerful dark magic . Against their servitude, Babidi used his skills as a magician to greatly increase his combat power, which will allow for example a weaker character such as Spopovich to transform him into an ultra strong warrior who has developed crazy abilities such as the possibility to survive injuries that would normally have caused death. 💀
And it was then that after realizing that Goku had once again surpassed his own strength by training in the afterlife, Vegeta decided to allow Babidi to impetuously enter his mind and take full control, thus triggering the long-awaited Majin transformation!
WHO IS MAJIN VEGETA?
Majin Vegeta is Vegeta's form when he became a follower of Babidi. He gains a significant increase in power through his influence. He has the same appearance while having the Majin seal on his forehead, dark black lines around his eyes, and an increase in his muscle mass, which swells to the point where veins appear all over his body and face due to the intensity of its power level . Vegeta's true dark nature is awakened, and he has become extremely more powerful than he was before. 🔥
Majin Vegeta usually fights at Super Saiyan 2 level and his power is equal to that of Goku at his Super Saiyan 2 level, and later to that of himself when fighting Super Boo with absorbed Gohan and Kid Boo. After Vegeta was killed by his devastating final explosion as a last resort to destroy Majin Buu, this form is never seen again in the manga or anime. 📚
If Majin Vegeta's powers are on par with those of the SSJ2 form, then that means that a Majin transformation doubles the attributes of a Saiyan. Vegeta also seems fully capable of harnessing even the smallest portion of his power, as if he knew his limits all along without prior training.
WHY DOES VEGETA HAVE AN M ON THEIR FOREHEAD?
The M on Vegeta 's forehead stands for Majin. It is a seal placed by Babidi to indicate that he controls Vegeta in some way. It was placed using black magic. He knew he was powerful enough to resist mind control. But the saddest part of it all is that he gave in because he wanted the power that the seal would grant him to take revenge for his former defeat against Goku. ⚠️
WHY VEGETA WANTS TO BECOME MAJIN?
If you followed our explanations carefully, Vegeta is destined to become Majin of his own free will because Goku is more powerful than him at the moment. He felt like he had become incompetent, and after having a child with Bulma, he became attached to them and the land. He felt these sentimental attachments were holding him back and all he wanted to do was defeat Goku in battle.

So, he let himself be possessed by Babidi's magic. This unlocked the evil in Vegeta's heart. As a result, he was able to kill innocent people and fight without remorse, forcing Son Goku to fight him again. However, after the epic confrontation between the two Saiyans , Vegeta realized that he could not allow Majin Boo to destroy the Earth. After all, his love for Trunks and Bulma ultimately won out over everything else! 😍
In the DBZ saga, tired of seeing his father being tortured by Majin Boo, Trunks rushes to help his father, with the help of Goten , despite Piccolo's attempts to stop them. Trunks pushes Majin Boo away, and he and Goten free Vegeta from the villainous opponent's bonds.
Vegeta wakes up and will obviously be angry at being beaten by Majin Buu. Babidi will also make fun of Vegeta at this time, calling him "weak" and telling him that he will not die for long. Piccolo suddenly appears behind him and says that it will be Babidi who dies today before cutting him in two, despite Babidi's best attempts to defend himself. 🌠
For the sake of his family and friends, Vegeta then decides to commit suicide by using the final explosion to kill Majin Boo. He tells Trunks to take care of his mother, and orders him and Goten to leave now. Trunks and Goten try to convince him to let them help him, but Vegeta tells them that Majin Buu is too powerful for them. The boys persist in letting them help him fight the creature. In a moment of silence, Vegeta tells Trunks that he has never held him since he was a baby and, for the first time in his life, hugs Trunks. Trunks is surprised and embarrassed, while Goten watches the scene so dear to fans of the series. Vegeta tells Trunks that he made him proud, before knocking out the two friends. 🔨
When Piccolo arrives, Vegeta will tell him to take the boys to safety, then asks him if he will meet Goku in the Otherworld when he dies. Piccolo tells him that won't happen; The selfless Goku spent his life helping those in need and protecting the lives of others, allowing him to keep his body when passing to the afterlife as a reward. Vegeta, on the other hand, has spent his entire life caring about no one but himself, has killed countless innocents, and caused much mass destruction . 💥
When he dies, he will instead be sent straight to Hell , where his soul will be cleansed of evil before being reincarnated. Unfazed by this, Vegeta calmly accepts his fate. As Piccolo flies away with Goten and Trunks , Vegeta declares that he will destroy Boo so intensely that it will be impossible for him to regenerate. 🧬
Vegeta then bids farewell to Bulma, Trunks, and Goku before unleashing his full power and disappearing in a brilliant burst of light. Buu can do nothing but scream in terror as he is obliterated by the resulting explosion. 💣
MAJIN VEGETA VS GOKU SSJ2: WHO WINS?
They are simply equal. If you watched the incredible fight between them, you would know that it makes sense! Without the increase in his power through the Majin seal , Son Goku was stronger, a fact even recognized by Vegeta. But Goku wasn't giving his full power against Vegeta because he wasn't using his Super Saiyan 3 form, so he was holding back. 👀
So in theory, Goku SSJ3 could compete very easily against Majin Vegeta, but as we see him fighting Fat Boo and Kid Boo, he doesn't fight to win right away, which means the fight will drag on until what he wears out. Saiyans only go out of their way if they absolutely have to because they like to be challenged, so they try to hold back. 🦸🏼♂️
APPEARANCES OF MAJIN VEGETA
We therefore learn the existence of the Majin form and Majin Vegeta more precisely during the animated series Dragon Ball Z. The form will reappear later in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road , while Babidi from the Future uses using his magic again to try to brainwash Vegeta . However, unlike last time, this time it was completely against Vegeta's wishes. 🧠
