===''Dragon Ball Z''===
Vegeta is introduced as a member of the {{nihongo|Saiyan|サイヤ人|Saiya-jin}} race. He travels to Earth with his partner [[List of Dragon Ball characters#Nappa|Nappa]] to use the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira|author-link= Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2003 |chapter=Chapter 10| volume = 1 | isbn = 978-1-56931-930-7}}</ref> Nappa easily fights off Earth's heroes and kills [[Tien Shinhan]], [[Chiaotzu]], [[Yamcha]], and [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]] in the process. Goku then arrives after completing his training with [[Kaiō-sama]]. Goku easily defeats Nappa who is then killed by Vegeta, for the shame of being defeated by a low class Saiyan such as Goku. Vegeta fights Goku and is severely beaten by Goku's Kaioken technique, forcing him to resort to his [[Ozaru]] form to overpower Goku, the first time he has ever transformed in single combat, but he is unable to beat the rest of the heroes due to his sustained injuries from Goku, [[Gohan]], [[Krillin]] and [[Yajirobe]]. Exhausted and on the brink of death, he barely escapes with his life and is further humiliated by the fact that Goku pleaded with Krillin to spare his life.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2003 | volume = 5| isbn = 978-1-56931-934-5|chapter=Chapter 47}}</ref>

Vegeta then travels to planet Namek in an attempt to wish for immortality using that planet's Dragon Balls, Earth's Dragon Balls having ceased to exist following Piccolo's death, cutting the tyrant [[Frieza]] off from making the same wish in the process.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2003 | volume = 5| isbn = 978-1-56931-934-5|chapter=Chapter 52}}</ref> Upon arrival, Vegeta manages to kill many of Frieza's henchmen and also mercilessly destroys a defenseless Namekian village for their Dragon Ball. Later on Vegeta is forced to team up with Gohan, Goku, Piccolo, and Krillin so they can fight off the [[Ginyu Force]] and later Frieza. He also kills most members of the Ginyu Force after they are weakened by Goku. Ultimately, he is severely beaten and mortally wounded by Frieza; as he dies, he begs Goku to avenge him and all the other Saiyans whom he was their prince. Vegeta is later unintentionally revived with a wish to revive all of Frieza's victims from the Dragon Balls from Earth, and is subsequently sent to Earth with another wish so that he will survive Namek's impending explosion. Vegeta later learns that Goku defeated Frieza and managed to flee Namek in time.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2003 | volume = 11| isbn = 978-1-56931-939-0|chapter=Chapter 114}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2003 | volume = 10| isbn = 978-1-56931-807-2|chapter=Chapter 129}}</ref>

Afterwards, Vegeta ascends beyond the Super Saiyan level while training with Future Trunks, a version of his son from an alternate timeline, in the {{nihongo|Room of Spirit and Time|精神と時の部屋||}} and pummels the artificial life form [[Cell (Dragon Ball)|Cell]] after he has absorbed [[Android 17]]. Vegeta's overconfidence leads him to allow Cell to absorb Android 18, upon which Cell achieves his third "perfect" form. After Vegeta fails to defeat Perfect Cell, he is forced to participate in Cell's martial arts tournament known as the Cell Games, in which he makes a crucial intervention so [[Gohan (Dragon Ball)|Gohan]] can overpower and defeat Cell in his Super Perfect form.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2004 | volume = 16| isbn = 978-1-59116-328-2|chapter=Chapter 191}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2005 | volume = 19| isbn = 978-1-59116-751-8|chapter=Chapter 222}}</ref>

Seven years later, Vegeta allows himself to be consumed by [[Babidi]]'s evil power for his own desire to become powerful enough to fight and defeat Goku. The M on Vegeta’s forehead stands for Majin. It is a seal put by Babidi to indicate that he controls Vegeta in a certain way. It was placed through black magic. He knew that he was powerful enough to resist mind control.<ref>{{Cite web |last=sheep1987 |date=February 1, 2023 |title=Who is Majin Vegeta? |url=https://sheepbay.com/who-is-majin-vegeta/ |access-date=February 7, 2023 |website=Sheepbay |language=en-US |archive-date=February 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207034856/https://sheepbay.com/who-is-majin-vegeta/ |url-status=live }}</ref> He then goes on an indiscriminate killing spree to provoke Goku to fight him.<ref name="ch262">{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2005 | volume = 22| isbn = 978-1-4215-0051-5|chapter=Chapter 262}}</ref> However, when the monster [[Majin Buu]] is revived as a result of the energy released from their fight, Vegeta knocks out Goku from behind after deceiving Goku by feigning a truce.

On the [[Kaiō-shin]]'s planet, after getting revived once more thanks to the Namekian Dragon Balls, Vegeta battles Buu again to buy time for Goku to gather energy for the ''Genki Dama'', which he uses to defeat Majin Buu once and for all. It is during this fight that Vegeta finally admits Goku as both his superior and friend.<ref>{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Z|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2006 | volume = 26| isbn = 978-1-4215-0636-4|chapter=Chapter 322}}</ref>

Ten years later, at the next World Martial Arts Tournament, Vegeta is among those who witnesses Goku's battle with Buu's human reincarnation, Uub, and later bids Goku farewell as Goku departs with Uub to his village to train him as his successor.

===''Dragon Ball Super''===
In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods]]'', Vegeta tries to appease Beerus so that he will not destroy the Earth and briefly surpasses Goku because of a power boost induced by rage by Beerus slapping Bulma; he then later participates in a ritual to transform Goku into a Super Saiyan god and watches him fight the god of destruction,<ref>''Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods''</ref> and in ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F']]'', Vegeta trains off planet with Whis and returns to Earth to combat the resurrected Frieza, being killed by him when he destroys the Earth, which is reversed by Whis, allowing Goku in the nick of time to finish the tyrant off with a ''Kamehameha'' wave, in which Vegeta moves out of range.<ref>''Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'''</ref>

After the latter two films and anime adaptation in ''Dragon Ball Super'', Vegeta participates in a tournament where he defeats Frost,<ref>{{cite episode|title=Turn Anger into Power!

Vegeta decides to enter in the Tournament of Power in order to protect his family. During the tournament Vegeta is successful in knocking out numerous fighters. He knocks out Toppo, who achieved the power of a God of Destruction, and then aids Goku in fighting the last remaining member of Universe 11, Jiren. It is during his fight with Jiren and Toppo that Vegeta breaks his limits by his own accord. With two minutes remaining in the tournament, Jiren knocks Vegeta out, who then tearfully sends the last of his remaining power to Goku. In the film ''[[Dragon Ball Super: Broly]]'', Vegeta and Goku battle Frieza's newest recruit, the Saiyan Broly, but he proves too powerful for either of them. Left with no other options, Vegeta learns the fusion dance and fuses with Goku, becoming Gogeta and stopping Broly's rampage.<ref>''Dragon Ball Super: Broly''</ref> After these events, Vegeta and Goku had been recruited by the Galactic Patrol to stop the wicked warlock Moro, who escaped along with his comrades. They confront and fail to defeat him, suffering wounds from the battle. Vegeta resolves to go to Yardrat to train and obtain a means to stop Moro. Returning after having used ''Shunkan Ido'', Vegeta takes away Moro's stolen life energy and revives the victims of Namek in an act of redemption using a new technique. He maintains the upper-hand, savagely beating the warlock until the tide turns against his favour when Moro absorbs one of his comrades to bolster his power, beating Vegeta into unconsciousness. When Moro starts absorbing the Earth's energy after having merged with it, a healed up Vegeta arrives just in time to aid Goku by not only fissioning the energy out of him to prevent him from hiding his weakpoint, but also by personally gathering the necessary energy from the other Dragon Team members and Oob to send it to Goku for him to channel his Ultra Instinct powers one more time and kill Moro (while saving the planet) for good.

Later on, Vegeta and Goku were invited by the alien beings called the Heeters into defeating the powerful Cerealean sniper named Granolah. He engages Granolah in battle after he defeats Goku in his Ultra Instinct state, and gains the upper-hand using the power of Destroyer Gods in a new form he labels ''Ultra Ego'', in opposition to his rival's Ultra Instinct, that he achieved during training with Beerus, but is beaten in turn after Granolah unleashes his true power.<ref name="Toriyama 2022">{{cite book | last = Toriyama| first = Akira| author-link = Akira Toriyama|title = Dragon Ball Super|publisher = [[Viz Media]]| year = 2022 | volume = 17 | isbn = 978-1-9747-3451-1|chapter=Chapter 74}}</ref> After the Namekian, Monaito, intervenes, he confirms to Goku about the identity of his father, Bardock. After the Heeter, Gas, shows up in order to settle a grudge on the Cerealean, Vegeta, in a show of stubborn pride, gives Granolah a senzu bean so he can fight Gas. Later, he and Goku struggle against the powerful Heeter and are beaten, but are saved at the last moment by the unexpected arrival of Frieza, who proceeds to murder Gas and Elec for their betrayal. He beats Vegeta and Goku down in one blow upon unveiling his new powers, but ultimately spares them.

In ''[[Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero]]'', Vegeta trains with Goku and Broly on Beerus' planet, where he attempts to learn the ways Jiren uses to efficiently use his power. He spars with Goku without transformations or energy attacks.  He is unable to get contacted because of Beerus' ice cream cup obstructing Whis' staff, leaving the situation on Earth to be handled by Piccolo and whoever associates he can enlist. In the post-credits scene, exhausted, Vegeta lands the last blow on Goku, triumphantly declaring himself the winner, much to the boredom of Cheelai and comically moved emotion from Broly and Lemo.<ref>''Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero''</ref>

Vegeta has also been the victim of parody: the ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' ''Gag Special 2005'' issue released on November 12, 2004, featured a ''[[Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo]]'' one-shot ''Dragon Ball'' parody manga.
