Welcome back to theGamer! I hope you have been enjoying our articles filled with facts and interesting trivia of your favorite popular culture properties in and outside of the gaming world. With the Dragon Ball Super series in full swing, let's talk a little bit more about one of the most popular franchises out of Japan. For over three decades, the Dragon Ball franchise has remained immensely popular even during periods where there weren't any Dragon Ball-related animation on television or manga in the bookstores. Thanks to Dragon Ball-related video games and merchandise, fans have been able to get their fill of Akira Toriyama's brainchild many years after the GT series ended.

Ever since the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, the eternal rivalry between Goku and Vegeta has been one of the major talking points among fans. There are Goku fanboys and girls, and there are equally the same amount of Vegeta fanboys and girls. No matter what side of the fence you are on, their rivalry has been a cornerstone of most Dragon Ball-related media.

Some might call them the original Naruto versus Sasuke. But here at theGamer, we just call them “classic." Here are 25 silly Dragon Ball Me🗹mes about Goku versus Vegeta. May their rivalry bring y🌜ou joy and laughter.

25 Undefeated ♍

Though Vegeta has never gotten the better of his eternal rival Goku, it can also be said that Goku hasn't ever beaten Vegeta. This could be the case of Goku not wanting to kill the Saiyan prince, but it does speak volumes of just how powerful Vegeta really is. No other character has kept pace in terms of power levels with Goku other than Vegeta. Over the course of the original Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super, Goku has surpassed Tien, Krillin, King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr, the Ginyu Force, Gohan🐼, and others. Yet, Vegeta ಞhas seemingly been mirroring Goku's growth in strength throughout the entire duration. This just is a testament to the Saiyan's fighting prowess.

24 𝔉 Cheap Shot

Is that a cheap shot at Vegeta? Oh, that joke does burn a little for the ♛Saiyan prince. While Goku might never really joke about Vegeta's power level, some fans will certainly bring this topic up for discussion. As the series has gone on, even though Goku♈ appears to get the bulk of the heroic moments, Vegeta does appear to be not far behind in terms of power level. If you omit Gods like Beerus and Whis, Vegeta is probably the second most powerful character in Universe 7. Taking that in mind, Vegeta's power level is anything but joke-worthy. This isn't Yamcha we are talking about. At least, I am pretty sure that he won't take it as a joke. He doesn't seem like the joking type, anyway

23 Compari🅠ng Childhoods ꦜ

Not much is explained about Vegeta's childhood other than the idea that he was conquering planets for Frieza during his formative years. Goku has certainly had his fair share of adventures battling a lot of martial artists and demons while growing up. While both of their lives are anything but typical, it does appear that Goku got the benefit of an adoring public, including being the center of attention from much older females, such as Bulma teasing him with glances of her undergarments every now and then. We might have to take into consideration that the original Dragon Ball was meant to be a parody of the classic tale Journey to the West with Akira Toriyama's famous humor and twists. Still, it appears as though Vegeta had th⛦e less glamorous childhood despite being Saiyan royalty.

22 Only On Nintendo𝕴

Oh, will we ever see the day that Vegeta finally gets the best of Goku? Is there such a thing as a moral victory? Will any of these questions get answered in Dragon Ball Super? In this comic, Vegeta earns his much deserved victory over his lifetime rival. Unfortunately, it was earned at a video game, which looks a lot like something on the Super Nintendo. It was probably one of those 2D Dragon Ball Z games during the 16-bit generation, like Butoden or something like that. Outside of Vegeta's gaming prowess, the Saiyan prince has yet to defeat Goku inღ “real life” in a battle nor in terms of power levels. Will we see that day? Maybe, but don't count on it.

21 🐼 Fusion ♔Problem

Vegeta didn't seem to like the idea of fusing with Goku very much. Heck, he even crushed those Potara earrings just so they wouldn't be together again. Is that more than a slight over-reaction? However, when a powerful villain threatens the world, the universe's most powerful Saiyans must fuse together once again to even the odds. Now, it might be obtuse to perform a fusion with another man, but this Meme does give us some food for thought. As of this moment, there hasn't been a cross-gender fusion as a part of Dragon Ball canon. But with series like Dragon Ball Fusions and Dragon Ball Heroes, that could be somওething planned in the near future.

20 He's A Clown 🌃

While we all marvel at the power and prowess of Goku, especially since he finally became a Super Saiyan during the Frieza Saga, Vegeta probably doesn't view his storied rival with the same amount of awe and amazement. This is not to say that Vegeta doesn't respect Goku, but the Saiyan prince often voices his displeasure with Goku's childish🍌 antics and carefree demeanor. Indeed, a lot of Goku's naive nature is the source of a lot of Vegeta's anger, with the other part being the idea that he is constantly one step ahead in terms of power and transformation at every given turn. This is probably the reason Vegeta embraced evil once again to overtake his rival during the Majin Buu Saga. Still, Kakarot is a big-time clown.

I never quite knew why everyone under the Majin in🔯fluence had that M mark on their forehead. Well, everyone except for Majin Buu. It was probably a simple indicator to show that character as evil. When Vegeta embraced that evil power, he also had that unmistakable M on his forehead. As a child, I remember that moment shocked me like no other. Vegeta is once again a villain. What a twist. This Meme just tries to explain how Vegeta got that M on his face. Perhaps it is from a Sharpie marker used by that angry little Jigglypuff w🅠ho keeps putting everyone to sleep with her lullaby. If I was to put a bet on someone, it would be that little pink ball of fluff.

18 ♓ Talk About 9000

Perhaps one of the most popular Memes in Dragon Ball history, the topic about the power level being over 9000 is probably comparable to the often misquoted Star Wars line: “Luke, I am your father." Sure, it mi🐻ght be misquoted in its initial run, but the legacy of this infamous scene lives on. But do you really remember who Vegeta and Nappa were talking about that fateful day? It's Kakarot, of course! Yes, the commotion was all about how a lowly Saiyan could achieve such a vast amount of power in such a shortও time, especially since he was dominated against his brother Raditz in a fight not too long ago. Thanks to all those talks about training and Zenkai, Goku was able to become a God among everyone else, including even Vegeta.

17 𒁏 ꧂ Enough Already!

If Vegeta was a real person in the real world, he would surely get that🅠 “It's Over 9000!” joke told to him by anyone and everyone who ever encountered him in public. Come to think of it, that phrase doesn't even count as a joke. I am pretty sure that's what happened to the guy who portrayed Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) in Family Matters, and people asking him to say his catchphrase, “Did I do that?” After a while, it gets pretty infuriating. Could you imagine if TMZ tailed Vegeta with a camera and a microphone? Honestly, there is a likely possibility that he is going to hurt some paparazzi. Even after several decades, all these jokes about it being over 9000 has not left the mind of the poor Saiyan prince.

Indeed, the rivalry of Goku and Vegeta is what keeps a lot of storylines in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super a little bit interesting. When you get right down to it, it is just an anime with a whole lot of action against super powerful bad guys over and over again. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Perhaps the rivalry between Bulma and Chichi is what fans should really get excited about. Though they are vastly different than their childhood incarnations from the original Dragon Ball series, both Chichi and Bulma have bore the burden of raising their Saiyan-hybrid warrior children 🗹and keeping their husbands in check. Their outward appearances might be different, but their internal fires burn brightly.
