In the latest “Dragon Ball Daima” episode, fans witnessed a significant moment: Vegeta transforming into Super Saiyan 3.
Previously, many believed Vegeta skipped this form, moving directly from Super Saiyan 2 to Super Saiyan God and Super Saiyan Blue in “Dragon Ball Super.” This transformation surprised many, especially since Goku hasn’t used Super Saiyan 3 in the new series.
Bulma explained that Vegeta achieved this form through his own training, unlike Goku, who learned it in the afterlife under unique conditions.
What makes Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta different from Goku’s?
Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 appearance differs from Goku’s. His hair extends sideways, resembling Akira Toriyama’s original concept for the form, which featured longer hair that didn’t reach the feet.
Interestingly, Toriyama’s initial design for Super Saiyan 3 included the return of the Saiyan tail, a feature absent in both Vegeta’s and Goku’s transformations. This detail highlights the evolution of character designs from concept to screen.
In the episode, Vegeta’s new form enabled him to defeat the Tamagami, guardians of the Demon Realm’s Dragon Balls. Beyond physical strength, Vegeta also solved a complex math problem posed by the Tamagami, securing the second Dragon Ball for their team.
Meanwhile, other characters like Majin Duu and Majin Kuu have obtained a Dragon Ball for Dr. Anisu, whose intentions remain unclear. The quest for the remaining Dragon Balls is expected to become more challenging, adding excitement to the series.
“Dragon Ball Daima” continues to surprise fans by introducing new elements and transformations. Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 form not only pays homage to original designs but also adds depth to his character’s development.
As the series progresses, viewers can anticipate more unexpected twists and character evolutions.
