Even after decades, Vegeta remains one of anime’s most compelling antiheroes. The Dragon Ball Super era transformed him from Goku’s bitter rival into a warrior driven by love, loyalty, and yes—plenty of arrogance. Whether he’s roasting Yamcha or defending his family, Vegeta’s quotes aren’t just epic one-liners—they’re windows into his evolution. Let’s dive into 15 moments where the Prince of Saiyans stole the show.
1. “Sure, let’s go see Yamcha.”
Episode: Showdown on King Kai’s World! Goku vs. Beerus the Destroyer!
Picture this: Bulma’s birthday bash is in full swing, but Vegeta’s lounging like a grumpy cat. When Bulma pesters him to socialize, he drops this sarcastic gem. Why’s it iconic? Because Vegeta of all people mentioning Yamcha—Bulma’s ex—is pure comedy gold. Fun fact: This snarky line was ad-libbed by voice actor Christopher Sabat!
Key Takeaway: Even universe-threatening gods can’t escape Vegeta’s petty side.
2. “Whatever you plan to do, do it to me!”
Episode: How Dare You Do That To My Bulma! Vegeta’s Metamorphosis Of Fury?

3. “You can thank me by staying out of this fight.”
Episode: The Earth Explodes?! A Decisive Kamehameha!
