Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has introduced a brand-new character to its already-packed roster in the form of Majin Vegeta. Keeping up with their promise of ‘more power, more speed’, Majin Vegeta’s introduction is sure to shift the character hierarchy in the game, especially at the top.
Majin Vegeta is one of the forms of Goku’s long-term rival and foil, Vegeta. One of the most evil forms of Vegeta, Majin Vegeta was created by Babidi in the hopes of resurrecting Majin Buu.
With a significant boost in power and muscle mass, Majin Vegeta appeared in the Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero trailer as he sported the iconic mark on his forehead as he faced off against one of Goku’s Super Saiyyan forms.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Brings Back Babidi’s Evil Touch
Towards the second half of the trailer, a little-known form of Vegeta, an evil one, makes an appearance. Featuring only once in the Dragon Ball series, this form of Vegeta was created when he willingly gave control of his mind to Babidi to receive a major boost in power that he needed to defeat Goku.
Babidi tapped into Vegeta’s dormant evil and awakened them to unleash Majin Buu. Later, Majin Vegeta broke Babidi’s mind control and sacrificed himself in an attempt to stop Majin Buu, thus redeeming himself in the eyes of the fans. Fans are already flooding the community forums with enthusiastic posts regarding how much they are looking forward to the character.
With the introduction of this character, the developers delved into the Dragon Ball lore to recreate the iconic rivalry of Goku and Vegeta.
