Refuses to destroy Gero's lab before the androids are built because that's "not the honourable way to fight"
They'd already been bested, weaklings deserve no respect or quarter.
He didn't refuse to destroy gero's lab out of honour, he did it because he wanted to fight some fuckin androids
But he had been bested by them
>DBZ character motivations are made so painfully clear you'd have to be a retard to not get them
>people still frequently get them wrong
Why is that?
warrior have honor but they can be cruel, user.
Some people are just stupid
Ppl still don't realize the Z fighters aren't exactly heroes
>make an anime thread
>attach a picture of a videogame to pretend like it's on-topic
You know, a actual majority of them were villains in fact.
>still loses
He was dealing with a known enemy that he was weaker than. He was afraid of them and Frieza, he thought he was hot shit during the Android Saaga because he had become legend basically after attaining Super Sayian.
He got kicked in the dick pretty hard.
You're right, he shoulda sudoku himself as well.
Why do we love DBZ so much?
Namek was a different case, he was neither Super Saiyan at the time nor could he afford to fuck around, especially when the tantalizing chance to gain immortality was in reach for both him AND Frieza.
you're a manchild obsessed with power levels
Imagine being such a smoothbrain that you get something so simple so wrong.
Because its about based ayran gigachads saving the world from aliens
*sigh* I'll get the mods
Muscles and fights are cool user
Back in Namek he was desperate, he knew he was fucked if the Ginyu force had their way and even then if he didn't become immortal Freeza would kill his ass.
Namek Vegeta knew he wasn't the top dog and took every shot to make it up the ladder
Cell saga Vegeta thought he's the best because he's green-eyed blonde now.
Then you should read actual martial arts manga
DBZ wouldn't be different if the characters were twinks since it's more about who has the bigger superpower
because the entire premise is basically a dick measuring contest
>Yamcha was a desert bandit
>Tien was a dickhead from a rival school, but honorable
>Vegeta the genocidal mercenary
>Gokus a murderer
>demon king piccollo
Krillen is the only pure one
Krillin literally attempted to fuck with Goku even if he could’ve died
You already know how this would go down
>Krillin: Big words coming from someone who killed the Ginyu Force while they were knocked out
>Vegeta: *tch* [flies away]
Nothing would change
You know how a lot of people complain about stories being pretentious? DBZ is the complete polar opposite of pretentious. Everything you see is exactly what you get. You're here for cool fight scenes broken up by goofy character moments and the show never pretends you're here for anything else. Anything that can be called "plot" is just there to give characters excuses to get into more fights.
DBZ is basically fight porn.
They are heroes they're just not the saints americans need them to be. Vegeta wants to fight the androids to prove he has gotten stronger than Goku. The same arrogance creates Perfect Cell yet he still faces him when he has no chance of winning and nothing to gain from it except for preserving the earth
Nobody tell this guy about the western canon
It's basically anime pro wrestling taken to absolute extremes.
