Dragon Ball: 5 Strongest Vegeta Forms You’ve Never Heard Of, Ranked

Anime’s quintessential bridesmaid, Vegeta lives permanently in Goku’s shadow, at least in the official storyline. Fortunately, the Saiyan Prince’s popularity ensures constant attention, transformations, and showcases. Vegeta is one of my favorite characters, and I love the fact that Dragon Ball Super finally gave him an original form in Ultra Ego… something the multiverse did a long time ago.

Move away from the canon stories, and you find some of Vegeta’s strongest forms, ranging from new iterations on old looks to uncomfortable fusions and broken-as-heck evolutions. Yeah, we are diving headfirst into Dragon Ball Heroes, a video game popular enough to spawn manga and anime adaptations. Get ready, things are about to get silly.

All these forms were introduced in games.

Vegeta’s Many Super Saiyan 3 Teases

Daima’s SS3 Prince Was Far From The First

• Introduced in Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2
• Appears in Dragon Ball Heroes
• Made official in Dragon Ball Daima

OK, let’s start with a special case. Anybody who sat through Dragon Ball Daima has witnessed the glory of Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta (and kid Vegeta), a transformation the Prince of Saiyans previously mocked as a waste of energy. While we had to wait until the 2020s to see this form in the official anime, SS3 Vegeta actually debuted a long time ago in the extended content, with 2010’s Raging Blast 2 presenting a What If scenario that featured this much-desired transformation.

Honestly, the long hair and animalistic design suit Vegeta arguably better than Goku or Gotenks. Clearly, Bandai Namco realized they had something special as SS3 Vegeta reappears in Dragon Ball Heroes, although it is his Xeno version that achieves this transformation (and looks incredible in the process). By the time Daima came around, this transformation’s thunder had long since been stolen, and he was naturally overshadowed by SS4 Goku.

Vegeks/Vegenks Is Wrong

Vegeta’s Fusion With Trunks

• Vegenks in Dragon Ball Fusions
• Vegeks in Dragon Ball Heroes

I’m sorry, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed. I’m perfectly fine with nearly every combination, but there’s just something unnatural about a father fusing with his son. Introduced in Dragon Ball Fusions and revisited in Heroes, Vegenks (or Vegeks) brings together Vegeta and Future Trunks, although Vegeks consists of the Xeno versions of those characters.

Under standard Metamoran Fusion Dance rules, these two wouldn’t be able to fuse; however, Capsule Corp’s Metamo-Ring allows literally any two warriors to merge regardless of physical dimensions or strength gaps. Ex-Fusion also lets them combine forces in Heroes. Obviously, Vegeks is a true powerhouse capable of defeating Demon Gods, Cell-X, and Xeno Super Janemba.

Dark Empire Black-Masked Xeno Vegeta Is Incredibly Powerful And Evil

Mind-Controlled Vegeta Is Back And Darker Than Ever

Before getting into this form specifically, let’s clarify who exactly Xeno Vegeta is. Basically, he comes from an alternate timeline where he experienced all of DBZ, the movies, and some stuff from Dragon Ball GT. He was eventually recruited to join the Time Patrol, where he fixes fractured timelines like some superpowered multidimensional Doctor Who. He hasn’t experienced anything from Dragon Ball Super, so his strongest form is Super Saiyan 4 rather than Blue or God Ki.

Anyway, Black-Masked Xeno Vegeta represents a short period when the Saiyan Prince lived under Towa’s spell, outfitted with a Time Power Mask that turned him into an obedient little soldier. Mind-controlled Vegeta isn’t a fresh concept, but this version is far stronger and far less willing than his Majin counterpart. Besides controlling him, the mask pumps dark magic and energy directly into Vegeta, making him incredibly powerful.

This form allows Vegeta to fuse with a Dark Dragon Ball, making him even stronger and basically on the level of gods.

Super Full Power Super Saiyan 4 Limit Breaker Xeno Vegeta Is Divine Perfection

Xeno Vegeta’s Strongest Form By A Wide Margin

Strictly speaking, Super Saiyan 4 represents the absolute peak of Saiyan power, in the sense that it doesn’t rely on an external force like God Ki. While the mainline version seems unlikely to ever obtain this transformation, Xeno Vegeta can go SS4 at will, and he makes good use of it during Dragon Ball Heroes. More importantly, he succeeds at taking the next step and reaching a middle ground that combines SS4 and Super Saiyan God, achieving the best of both worlds.

Now, unlike the base form, Limit Breaker cannot be achieved on its own and requires a Ki Transfusion Ritual, with four absurdly powerful characters funneling their divine energy into both Xeno Vegeta and Xeno Goku. In this form, they are near-unfathomable, allowing them to fight against enemies that threaten full universes. Xeno Vegeta goes full-blast from the start, and he unleashes an absurd Final Flash and a cool-as-heck Dragon Fist Combo with Xeno Goku.

Super Saiyan Blue Controlled Berserk Vegeta Is Simply Electrifying

Vegeta’s Coolest And Most Powerful Form

Although none of his antics in Dragon Ball Heroes are canon, main timeline Vegeta gets plenty of moments to shine in the multiverse, and his most “what the heck” transformation is Super Saiyan Blue Controlled Berserk. To be honest, this form isn’t particularly well explained, but the idea is that Vegeta becomes corrupted by the Evil Ki of an extremely powerful ancient Saiyan called Cumber. Both Vegeta and Goku go “berserk,” which means they lose control.

The base berserk form is strong enough to feature in this article, but Vegeta takes it up a notch when he manages to regain his senses and take control of the Evil Ki. Boasting an incredibly cool redesign of the Super Saiyan Blue form, Controlled Berserk Vegeta simply farms aura with every single step he takes. Crucially, this form is entirely broken, as the Evil Ki’s dark energy lets Vegeta use Super Saiyan Blue without losing stamina, allowing him to go all out all the time.
