While Super Saiyan is iconic forGoku , no form fitsDragon Ball’sVegetamore thanUltra Ego . Despite how the radical - hefty translation seems tailor - made for the Saiyan prince , a serial of old sketches from serial publication creator Akira Toriyama discover it share more than a passing resemblance to Goku ’s original pattern for Super Saiyan 3 .

Their prayers were answer inDragon Ball Super ’s 74th chapter where Vegeta debuted Ultra Ego against the world ’s strongest warrior , Granolah . While Vegeta eventually lost that fight , the signifier left a mark on fans as it ’s such a perfect convulsion for Vegeta .

However , give thatVegeta never goes Super Saiyan 3 in the originalDragon Ballmanga , and that this design lacks Vegeta ’s earmark widow woman ’s peak , the designing is definitely Goku .
