The protagonists of Dragon Ball Super are now they are Goku and Vegeta. The historical warrior is steadily joined by the Saiyan prince, the former adversary and rival of all time. The two have a rivalry, but are now allies and almost friends. But enjoying the joys of victory is only Goku, never Vegeta.
In Dragonball Super, Vegeta rarely had a winning moment. Since the beginning of the Toyotaro series, in both the anime and manga versions, his role has been to act as a shoulder for Goku. It wouldn’t be serious if Vegeta was allowed to win every now and then, while Toyotaro apparently only wanted to leave the great victory to the historical protagonist.
It didn’t happen during the Arc of Molo, where Vegeta had matured and improved incredibly, exciting at this stage in the story. This does not seem to be intentional during the Granolah arc either, but unlike in the past, things are more serious now. The reason why? In the past, Vegeta’s defeat meant Goku’s return and his victory. The Saiyan, who grew up on earth, has always had the role of savior, but it does not appear to be during this saga.
This time Vegeta has found a rival not only in Goku but also in Granolah, a stranger just created by Toyotaro and Toriyama, who now appears to have cemented his role in the finale of the narrative arc. Now Vegeta has not been put aside by Goku to repeat the classic canvas, but by a character who still has little appeal and little history behind him. Even when Goku is out of the game, Vegeta manages to star in Dragon Ball Super.
In short, the role of Vegeta’s second is destined to stay regardless of who the Saiyajin prince has in front of or by his side.
