Vegeta, Krillin & Yamcha had some crazy L's throughout the series but Vagita getting his shyt pushed in by Android 18--after finally achieving super saiayan and tryna stunt on everyone--was on sum extra type shyt
when you put it like that...Vegeta allowing himself to become Babadi’s bytch just for a SHOT at fighting Goku only for Goku to hide the SSJ3 transformation because he felt sorry for him.
Think about that. Another MAN felt so sorry for your underachieving, delusional, bytch made ass that he fights you HANDICAPPED just so you can feel like a real man.
Vegeta was Goku’s series long make-a-wish kid. Pathetic.
How does Vegeta have fans again?
Vegeta beat kakarotVegeta letting Cell go perfect so he could flex on him and attacking his own son when he tried to stop him just to get his spine snapped in half
Vegeta selling his soul, sacrificing his pride and almost throwing his family away to some ugly ass caterpillar so he could close the gap against Goku only to find out that nikka was hiding a whole ass transformation from him so he wouldn't hurt his feelings
If we go through the biggest L's by character:
Gohan - The whole series built him up to be THAT dude, but after the Cell games, Gohan became straight flabby and sick
Vegeta - Either Android 18 or getting humbled by Perfect Cell after letting him go perfect. The loss to Cell is embarrassing because he could have scored the win for once, but there's something more inherently disrespectful about getting his arm broken 18 since she wound up giving it up to Krillin of all people right after the fact. You know Vegeta must have felt a certain way about that moment every time he saw 18 and Krillin at all the Z-fighter family gatherings.
Krillin - Fangs the vampire has to be his most embarrassing L in this case. Krillin went into the fight too full of himself and didn't even land a single punch... even Yamcha got a win in Baba's tournament (albeit with Krillin's help... but STILL.) Getting blown up by Frieza has to be up there, but to be fair, Frieza was killing everybody on Namek.
Yamcha - The Saibamen, hands down. There's also the whole scene where he got impaled by Dr. Gero... and an honorable mention goes to his failed attempt to train at 300x gravity in the anime (which spawned a classic thread).
Tien - Either getting his arm ripped off by Nappa or getting choked out like Melvin in Baby Boy when he tried to fight the Androids.
Krillin took the most L's of any Z-fighter IMO, but at least eventually won in the end. On that note, I would say that Vegeta, Gohan, and Yamcha took the biggest L's in the series.
Vegeta is Saiyan royalty, but will eternally be stuck in Goatku's shadow, and his soul will burn slow forevermore since he knows it.
Gohan's whole existence peaked during the Cell games when he was 11 years old.
Yamcha is Yamcha, no further explanation needed.
Krillin took his lumps but ended the series as (arguably) the strongest pureblooded human on the planet, and wifed the coldest woman in the entire series. Nothing that happened to Krillin was more embarrassing than Yamcha's loss to a Saibaman, losing his girl to Vegeta, or Vegeta getting his arm broken by 18, let alone Gohan becoming soft after the Cell games.
Gohan never liked fighting and only did it to spend time with his father and save the universe. I’d say given he’s a pacifist by nature him going off, getting a real job, and being the family man his father never was to him is more than enough reason to not continue training. I don’t think Gohan took an L after the Cell Games for that very reason.
Yamcha took hella L’s yes. But again, he did it to save the world. Vegeta on the other hand, took L’s because he couldn’t admit he wasn’t as good as he’s been told he was by virtue of being a Prince. Dude didn’t take L’s to save the world, or his family, or his race. He took L’s because ANOTHER MAN felt sorry for him. Goku felt sorry for Vegeta and spared him during the Saiyan Saga so he wouldn’t die less of a man. Goku felt sorry for Vegeta and let him go in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber first so he’d feel like a man. Goku felt sorry for Vegeta and held back Super Saiyan 3 during they’re fight so Vegeta could feel like a man. Vegeta owes his ENTIRE sense of masculinity to ANOTHER MAN!
If that isn’t the Crown L of ALL L’s i don’t know what is
How does Vegeta gave fans again?
How does Vegeta gave fans again?
Vegeta didn't "beat" him, he called off the fight and snuck attack Goku so he wouldn't stop him from his suicide mission against Buu. The one time he decided to take accountability for his fukk ups and you trying to spin itVegeta beat kakarot
For the SECOND time
Kakarot has Never defeated the prince of all saiyans.
