"What do you call a Vegeta and a Goku? Vegito sounds alright."
— Vegetto in "Meet Vegito"

Vegetto (ベジット, Bejitto; FUNimation "Vegito", Viz "Vegerot") is the immensely powerful result of Son Goku and Vegeta fused by the use of Potara Earrings Fusion. His voice is a dual voice that contains both Goku's and Vegeta's voices. Vegito is regarded most for his immense power and speed, and is often widely regarded as the most powerful character in the whole of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and the Dragon Ball manga. His Fusion Dance counterpart is Gogeta.

Name

The name Vegetto is derived from a portmanteau of the Japanese kana spellings of the names Vegeta (ベジータ, Bejiita) and Kakarot (カカロット, Kakarotto). The most common romanization of the character's name in Japan is Vegetto,[1] a portmanteau of Vegeta and Kakarotto. Because the spelling Kakarot is used in Viz's English manga instead of Kakarotto, the name became Vegerot. The spelling Vegito is used in the English dub of the anime by FUNimation, a spelling inconsistent with the translated names used in the English anime (Vegeta and Kakarot). Vegito is also called Veget in the Finnish version of the Dragon Ball manga.

Appearance and personality

Vegito is a mixture of both Goku and Vegeta's characteristics. He is about the same height as Goku. His personality is a mix of the two Saiyans. Vegeta's cockiness shows in Vegito's personality, but it is tempered by his strategic mind and Goku's concern for others (he ultimately used his cocky attitude to fool Buu into absorbing him, which gave him the chance he needed to save Buu's absorbed victims). Being a whole new being, he refers to his counterparts as separate people as they would address each other.

Vegito's hair is more inclined toward Vegeta since it firmly stands upwards and is very dark brown in color. However, he has two bangs sticking out like a downward "V" shape, a trait caught from Goku. When he transforms into a Super Saiyan, he looks almost exactly like Goku. Vegito wears two earrings as result from the Potara fusion, and wears an inverted version of Goku's outfit. The inversion is caused by adopting the color of Vegeta's outfit for the external wear, and using the orange of Goku's outfit for the undershirt. Finally, he wears white gloves and boots in the same style as Vegeta. He is somewhat similar to Gogeta, who is the fusion of Goku and Vegeta through the fusion dance.

History

The Potara Earring Fusion

The Potara Earring Fusion used to form Vegetto is what Elder Kai considered to be the proper way to do Fusion, as opposed to the Fusion Dance. The resulting Fusion lasts forever, even if the fused being removes the earrings. The determination of power levels is more complex than simply adding together the battle powers of the two individuals. Vegetto has the confidence and fighting smarts of Goku, along with the superior attitude and genius strategic mind of Vegeta.

Vegetto is born

Vegetto was a Fusion formed out of desperation by Goku and Vegeta in an effort to stop Super Boo, an ancient and powerful being whose only purpose is to destroy. Because Buu had absorbed Gotenks and Piccolo, Goku and the Supreme Kai had came to a conclusion that the best chance they had of defeating Super Buu was through Fusion, but there was no time to attempt the Fusion. As a solution to this problem, the Potara Earrings were given to Goku to save the universe from Super Buu. Goku then proceeds to Earth just in time, before Super Buu launches his massive energy ball to destroy it. Goku threw the earring to Gohan so they could fuse, but Gohan failed to catch it. Super Buu then lost a large amount of power (over one third by Goku's observation[2]) as Gotenks separated inside him. He then proceeds to absorb Gohan, becoming even deadlier and stronger than ever before. Goku is now left with no one to fuse with that'd be of any help (with the latter being Hercule and Dende because Tien was knocked out), but miraculously he senses Vegeta's energy, and uses Instant Transmission to quickly transport himself to Vegeta's location. Super Buu shortly follows and Vegeta fuses with Goku. In the anime, Vegeta initially ignores Goku's plea to fuse with him and they both send ki blasts towards Super Buu. Super Buu easily reflects their attacks with his own ki blast. Super Buu then taunts them and Vegeta attacks Super Buu but both Saiyans were beaten with little effort. After some quick persuasion, Vegeta finally agrees (after being told what fate had befallen on his family). Then Goku tells him for the first time that the fusion would be permanent and Vegeta shouts at him telling him that he should have told him that in the first place. The earrings merge them together and thus Vegito was born.

Vegetto vs. Super Boo

Once Vegetto is formed, he tests out his new body. He then proves himself more than a match for Super Buu as he easily withstands an assualt that would have almost killed the others separately. Vegito then overpowers Super Buu(w/Gohan) in the ensuing battle, clearly showing that, even in his base form, the fused Saiyan is much more powerful than the mass-absorbed Super Buu. In the anime, after proving his superiority to Super Buu, Vegito then decides to turn things up a notch, by increasing his power by transforming into a Super Saiyan, and calling himself "Super Vegito". Super Buu is impressed, but not convinced that Vegito is stronger than him. In the manga, however, he turns Super Saiyan immediately upon fusion.

Vegetto then begins to completely dominate Super Buu, rendering his attacks useless. Super Buu then liquefies himself and goes into Vegito's body through his mouth. Once Super Boo is inside, he makes Vegito's muscles bulge tremendously and tries to scare him by saying he is in control of his body. Vegito then uses his energy to isolate Super Boo inside his body and beats him out. Super Boo becomes enraged because Vegito is making fun of him. His anger at this causes him to start breaking through dimensions, which, if left unchecked, could destroy the universe. Eventually, Vegetto forces his way through Super Buu's shield and punches him in the face, which stops his attack.

With little left to lose, Super Boo turns Vegetto into a coffee flavored jawbreaker. All seemed lost until Candy Vegetto revealed that he was able to fly around and still attack physically beating Super Boo in comical fashion, eventually slicing off Super Buu's antenna. Super Buu eventually turned him back after realizing that there was no way to hurt Vegito because of his small size (despite the fact he couldn't hit him before anyway). Super Buu then returns Vegito back to normal.

After another beating, even Super Boo's regeneration was starting to fail him. Vegito decided that it was time to end the battle once and for all. He then gave Super Buu ten seconds to prepare for death, and told him to do whatever he feels like in that time period. Super Buu started to worry, and when Vegito reached nine, he manipulated the antenna that was recently cut off and engulfed Vegito. The battle was over with Super Buu coming out as the victor.

Unknown to Super Buu, however, Vegetto could have effortlessly destroyed him at any given moment, yet he toyed around with him. Before being absorbed, he had set up a barrier so that he would not be turned into, as Vegetto called it, "Buu Goo." This is because he wanted to be absorbed so as to free all his friends and family members. Thus the reason for cutting off the antenna and giving him the free time. Super Boo then goes on a rampage, and Vegito is left within him to free everyone. When he entered Super Boo's body, the magic of the earrings wore off because the stomach acid dissolved the Fusion, and Vegetto split into Goku and Vegeta again. Vegeta then crushed his earring so they wouldn't have to fuse again. When facing Kid Boo, they were also given the option to become Vegetto again, but they refused out of Saiyan pride.

Forms and transformations

Super Saiyan

Super Saiyan Vegetto

Vegetto was able to transform into a Super Saiyan. In the manga he transformed right away. Once he transformed into a Super Saiyan, he became truly unstoppable. His powers soared to unimaginable heights. As a Super Saiyan, he absolutely dominated Super Buu (Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo Absorbed). After his transformation, he gained a slight increase in muscle, though everything else remains the same, except for features such as golden hair/eyebrows, bluish-green eyes and golden aura (with occasional surges of blue electricity). Vegito called himself Super Vegito (スーパー ベジット, Sūpā Bejitto), or Super Vegerot in the English manga. Super Vegito appeared to be well beyond Buu's abilities to defeat. Super Vegito hardly exerted himself in battle (he only started fighting seriously for a brief moment to stop Super Buu from tearing Earth and the nearby planets apart), and was in absolute control of the fight, even telling Buu to "make (him) use his real power". Vegito is undeniably the most powerful character in the whole of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime and the Dragon Ball manga, possessing the enormous power of Goku and Vegeta multiplied by several folds. It is implied by Elder Kai that Vegito could have destroyed Kid Buu with little effort as he did with Super Buu (w/ Gohan absorbed). It is believed by some that Vegito could use both Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3, but did not need to use the forms due to his power being adequate against Buu in his regular Super Saiyan state.[3]


Candy

Candy Vegetto

After being turned into a coffee-flavored jawbreaker by Super Buu so that he can be consumed, Vegito is still able to fight as a small candy.  Not only does Vegito retain all of his power, but he is also extremely fast and far too small for Super Buu to hit; thus using an original attack to shoot in Super Buu's mouth and out the back of his throat, unscathed. In the dub he calls it his "Pinball Attack". However, while this small size gives him a colossal advantage in battle, he is not invulnerable and is unable to use any of his special attacks.

Super Saiyan 2

In April 2014, a Super Saiyan 2 version of Vegito was announced as a character to appear in the fourth Jaaku Mission of the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes. Due to both of his fusees possessing the form, Vegito might have been able to turn Super Saiyan 2 during his brief manga and anime appearance, but he does not do so. If he would have transformed he could have probably outclassed those few characters in DBZ capable of matching his power e.g. Bills and Whis.

Super Saiyan 3

Super Saiyan 3 Vegito in a promo for Dragon Ball Heroes In February 2014, a Super Saiyan 3 version of Vegito was announced as a character to appear in the third Jaaku Mission of the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes. In the JM3 trailer, Goku and Vegeta use the Potara Fusion to form Vegito, who appears as a Super Saiyan 3, in order to battle Buu (Southern Supreme Kai absorbed). Due to one of his fusees possessing the form, Vegito might have been able to turn Super Saiyan 3 during his brief manga and anime appearance, but he does not do so.

Trivia

  • His voice differs greatly in the two English dubs. In FUNimation, he sounds like Goku and Vegeta talking at once (like Gogeta and Gotenks, who are both formed by the Fusion Dance). In the Ocean Group dub that aired in Canada and the UK, he sounds more like a mixture of Goku and Vegeta's voices.
  • Vegito is the only actual Fusion character that appeared in Final Bout, while Gogeta and Gotenks appearing in Final Bout are considered completely false.
  • As the Elder Kai mentions that the Potara Earrings are a better way of fusing than the technique that the Metamorans created, known as the Fusion Dance, it is widely believed that Vegito is stronger than Gogeta when they both are in the same state.
  • The Fusion between Goku and Vegeta using the Potara Earrings was supposed to be permanent, yet when they are absorbed into Buu's insides (immediately appearing in his brain like the other absorbees in the manga), they separate prematurely at once, which Goku credits to being a result of all the foul masses in the magical atmosphere of Buu's body. Vegeta then swears to never "do this with Kakarot again" and crushes his earring, to which Goku begrudgingly follows suit. Due to their refusal to fuse into Vegito again (as "real Saiyans fight alone"), he is never seen again for the duration of the series.
  • In the manga, Vegito (Vegerot) transforms into a Super Saiyan as soon as he appears. However, in the anime, he fights Buu for some time before he finally transforms. In this base form, he still outclasses Super Buu and even manages to deflect a planet-shattering bomb, thus making it clear (in the anime) that he could have beaten Buu without transforming into a Super Saiyan.
  • In the early FUNimation dub, Candy Vegetto's voice was high pitched; this was changed to make him sound like his normal self in the remastered series.
  • In Budokai 2, Vegito was the strongest character with his power at 144%. In future installments, he would be second only to Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.
  • Suprisingly, in the What If Saga of Raging Blast, Vegito gets to fight his Fusion Dance counterpart, Gogeta.
  • On a similar note in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast's what i fight involving Vegito and Gogeta, the English dub voice (FUNimation) of Vegetto has Vegeta's voice more pronounced than Goku's, whereas Gogeta's voice had Goku's voice being more pronounced than Vegeta's.
  • In the Portuguese dub, Vegetto is actually named Vegeku, since Goku's Saiyan birth name was never revealed on the Portuguese dub of the anime.
  • In Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, his normal form has green eyes like a Super Saiyan, but in talk bubbles and profile pictures he has normal Saiyan black eyes.
  • According to Toriyama, Vegetto is the single strongest character in the entire manga.
  • Strangely, when Vegetto forms, he says that it is Goku's Earth name with Vegeta's name, but Vegetto is Kakarrot (Kakarotto in Japan) plus Vegeta.
