Nah he was a bird bath statue before Vegeta and Goku fought.

This. The Buu Saga was deep in the dark ages of refusing to let any of the Z-fighters shine besides Goku.

Vegeta was the first to go down after selling his soul and failing to stop Buu with his self-sacrifice.
Gohan got herbed out after becoming the Great Saiyaman.
Piccolo and Krillin got turned into statues.
Krillin later got absorbed and eaten trying to buy time for the rest of his friends/family to escape.
18 got eaten alongside the rest without accomplishing anything.
(Do I even need to mention Yamcha?)
Even Piccolo got benched--dude got stuck as a babysitter.
Gotenks could have been that dude, but all he did was screw around.
Tien got 30 seconds of shine, and then got knocked out by Buu's disembodied legs.
Goku rescued Mr. Satan ahead of his own seed, Piccolo, and Trunks.

EDIT: Just to add insult to injury, I remember that old garbage Supreme Kai surviving the whole ordeal without a scratch.

Wait.. so in the manga Vegeta gets his wins? :mjgrin:

the manga does a better job of explaining what's happening. the anime just beats you in the head with power-ups (not complaining, but if we're being trill a lot of that shyt makes no sense).

for example... when they fought Goku Black and vegeta gave him the beats, it wasnt just because he went to the room of spirit and time. he analyzed goku's fight with hit, figured out goku used a combination of his SSG and SSB forms to win (goku doesnt use that SSBxkaioken bullshyt in the manga), then used his training in the room of spirit and time to perfect goku's technique while goku learned mafuuba to deal with immortal zamasu.

goku peeped how vegeta flipped his technique during the fight with Goku Black and gave the prince his props, on some :leon: shyt.

then goku took vegeta's technique and furthered it by mastering (incomplete) SSB. :russ:

but vegeta saw THAT and as soon as they defeated Goku Black, he immediately started training with whis by himself to complete the technique whis told them both about back when they learned how to achieve SSB. the ability to fight without thinking, each body part reacting on its own. guessing that will be the equivalent of ultra instinct in the anime. vegeta made it clear that because goku unlocked the full potential of SSB first, his goal now is to reach ultra instinct first. :yeshrug:
