Summary

Vegeta's decision not to use Ultra Ego in his match with Gohan suggests that he should have skipped that technique. Ultra Ego was developed to harness the power of Destruction, but proved ineffective in his battle with Vegeta. Vegeta's avoidance of chaos and destruction may lead him to train a new technique that better suits his current personality.

In chapter #103 of Super Dragon Ball story, vegetable can be seen sparring with Gohan in his new Beast Form. During this training, the Saiyan prince never once attempted to enter Besides yourself status, something that seemed completely inappropriate to Vegeta. Bulma's husband is famous for never backing down from a fight, no matter how simple it is. This unusual behavior may imply that he has decided to ignore that technique, as was implied in the previous chapter.

Ultra Ego is a technique Vegeta developed during Granolah the Survivor Saga, as an attempt to harness and control the power of Destruction. The more damage Vegeta takes in battle, the stronger he will become. While this technique seems incredibly powerful when first introduced, readers quickly notice how ineffective it is in battle.

In Dragon Ball Super's pivotal chapter #103, Vegeta fights Gohan in his evolved Super Saiyan Blue form, a transformation that fans thought was long overdue. However, Vegeta not using Ultra Ego actually makes perfect sensebased on the most recent developments in the manga.

Vegeta is no longer a God of Destruction candidate

Vegeta's battle with Gohan proves that he does not want to use Ultra Ego

Before Vegeta's fight against Gohan, Goku faced his son to estimate the power of this half-Saiyan beast form. He gave his all throughout the encounter, going as far as it went Enter his perfect Ultra Instinct to truly challenge Gohan. In any other case, Vegeta would have jumped at the opportunity to prove that he was stronger than Kakarot, using his strongest technique to fight Gohan. The fact that he did not use Ultra Ego indicates that he felt it would not be effective or that he had given up using it.

Although the first option was not rejected in chapter #103, previous events in the series indicate that Vegeta giving up on harnessing the power of Destruction is the answer. In chapter #76, Vegeta was defeated by Granolah while still in his Ultra Ego form. The Prince deduced that he no longer had the same mentality as when he was younger, which prevented him from fully accessing the power of Destruction. If Vegeta had been aware of his limitations, he might have begun searching for a new power that would better suit the person he had become.

The Ultra Ego technique was created after Vegeta learned from Beerus that he needed to become the ruthless warrior he once was in order to control the power of Destruction. Before befriending Goku and the rest of the Z Warriors, Vegeta was a selfish and cruel man who would kill anyone who dared to get in his way. As implied by Beerus, the Ultra Ego form would be suitable for this version of the Saiyan. Vegeta initially appeared to be a good candidate for the position of God of Destruction.

Decades after his defeat at the hands of the Z Fighters, Vegeta is a completely different man, a caring husband and father, and a noble protector of Earth. His fighting style always undergoes transformations, becoming more refined and strategic.. Ultra Ego, although powerful, is no match for the type of warrior Vegeta is currently. However, training with Gohan could be a hint that the prince is searching for a technique that can serve him in combat, possibly a technique similar to Goku's son Beast Form. .

Vegeta may have started practicing a new technique

The prince may have found a technique he can call his own

As shown in chapter #93 of Dragon Ball Super, while training on Beerus's planet with Goku to prepare for his future battle against Frieza, Vegeta came to some important conclusions. He realizes that both he and his opponent/friend have reached the peak of their physical strength and that if they want to go further, they must focus on how to harness their energy more effectively. This clearly contradicts the principle behind Ultra Ego, which is to always give your best effort.

Vegeta's insight into how to manipulate energy in battle more effectively and his decision to use Blue against Gohan are also consistent with his experiments with his Super Saiyan Blue form, seen in battle against Gohan. Zamas and Goku Black in the Future Trunks Saga. Since it's a manga exclusive scene, it's possible that Toyotarou is willing to bring back what could be one of his original ideas for the character. It's interesting to note that Toyotarou had Vegeta use a similar form-shifting technique in his fan fiction manga, Dragon Ball AF.

Overall, Vegeta seems to have given up on the idea of ​​becoming a warrior who relies on chaos and destruction like Beerus. The elder Saiyan no longer uses the techniques he boasted about during his battle with Granolah and Gas. vegetableHis progress was demonstrated by his first victory over Goku, and his brief match with Gohan hinted at that future. Super Dragon Ball chapters may reveal a new form or ability that fits his current personality better Besides yourself.
