Dragon Ball: Every Time Vegeta Was Stronger Than Goku (In Chronological Order)

Goku and Vegeta’s rivalry is a rather one-sided affair, even in Dragon Ball Z. It’s true that Vegeta starts out stronger than Goku, but the Saiyan saga makes it very clear that the Prince of All Saiyans is playing with fire. By the end of the Namek arc, Vegeta’s completely outclassed by Goku – the real legendary Super Saiyan – and spends the rest of DBZ struggling to keep up with a “rival” who’s mostly just humoring an enemy turned hostile companion.

Where Dragon Ball GT had Vegeta content with Goku’s status as the greatest martial artist in the universe, Super’s Vegeta isn’t ready to let the rivalry go quite yet. As of the Granolah arc, Vegeta’s never been closer in power to Goku. In fact, Vegeta's new Ultra Ego transformation gives Goku's Ultra Instinct a real run for its money.
