Does any character from DBZ have more epic quotes than Vegeta? The answer is no, as this list of the best Vegeta quotes will show you. This includes sad Vegeta quotes, like when he told Trunks that he made him proud as a father, and angry Vegeta quotes, such as Majin Vegeta's speech to Goku during their fight.

Remember the speech commonly known as "Vegeta's Pride", where Vegeta powered out of the Majin mind control? The greatest quotes from Vegeta are often longer monologues, like when he explains how he turned into a Super Saiyan for the first time. Perhaps the most meanigful quote from the Saiyan prince was when he actually acknowledged that Goku was better than him - "You're better than me Kakarot. You are the best.|"

We've included the best and most popular Vegeta quotes on this list, but that doesn't mean that your favorite is definitely here. If you notice a good Vegeta quote that's missing, feel free to add it to the list yourself. It can be an epic Vegeta speech or just a funny one-liner - either way, share it with the world by adding it!

    Vegeta's Final Words On Namek

    Vegeta: "He killed our home planet... It was him..."

    Frieza: "He's just a corpse and he's still blabbing. I'll have to gag him to shut him up."

    Vegeta: "Your father and mine... the whole planet... he blew it up... it's true... No one survived but us... Ask him if you want... He'll tell you. He's proud of it..."

    Goku: "Please, stop talking, Vegeta. It's sapping all of your strength."

    Vegeta: "No... Listen. You have to hear this. We worked so hard for him. We did everything he asked of us, and more. He took me from my father when I was just a little boy. He made me do whatever he wanted and said he would kill my father if I didn't. I did everything he asked, but he killed him anyway along with everyone else. He was scared of us. Scared that a Super Saiyan would be born to rise up and overthrow him. Kakarot, please... destroy Frieza. He made me what I am... don't let him do it to anyone else. Whatever it takes... Stop him, please."

    His Debts Must Be Paid

    Kai: Who are you people? Don't you see the universe matters more than your meaningless squabble?

    Vegeta: Meaningless, huh?! What do you know of meaningless?! Spend most of your life ruled by another...watch your race dwindle to a handful...and then, tell me what has more meaning than your own strength. I have in me the blood of a Saiyan Prince, he is nothing but a joke. Yet I've had to watch him surpass me in strength, my destiny, thrown to the wayside! He's...he's even saved my life as if I were a helpless child. He has stolen my honor...and his debts...must be paid!

    So Be It

    Vegeta: There is one thing I'd like to know...tell me. Will I meet that clown Kakarot in the other world?

    Piccolo: I'm not going to lie to you Vegeta, although the answer may be difficult for you to hear. This is the truth...Goku devoted his life to protecting the lives of others. Because of his selflessness, when he died, he was allowed to keep his body, and travel to King Kai's planet. You, on the other hand, have spent your life in pursuit of your own selfish desires, you've caused too much pain. When you die, you will not recieve the same reward."

    Vegeta: Oh well...so be it.

    I Am The Prince Of All Saiyans Once Again

    "There's more than one way to reach the goal. Yes...to each his own. My motivation was very different than Kakarot's. My motivation was to be the best. To be the greatest Saiyan alive, as I always have been...until Kakarot came into the picture that is. Kakarot's success was like a demon in my head. How could he be a Super Saiyan when I, the prince of all Saiyans, could not? The intensity of my training was maddening. At 450 times normal gravity, a basic training game became a desperate struggle for survival. Even the simplest moves required every ounce of willpower I had. I wasn't sure how long I could sustain the effort without breaking in two. It seemed like the only thing holding my body together was my one desire...to be better than Kakarot. At times, I thought I was losing my mind. Why couldn't I obtain what Kakarot had obtained? It didn't make sense. It was infuriating & it was my fury that kept me alive. I decided to continue my training in the solitude of space, where I would be unhindered by the distractions of the Earth, and when a violent electrical storm had erupted in the skies of the planet I was on, I welcomed it. It seemed fitting...like it was an outward manifestation of the storm that was raging inside of me. Then the meteors started coming down, but I was determined to survive & to protect my ship from destruction. It was my only way out, my only way out of the nightmarish heap of rubble. I thought I had everything under control, but then, the mother of all meteors seemed to appear out of no where to claim my ship & my life. Normally, it would have been child's play to blow up that rock, but after training at 450 times normal gravity for so long it took everything I had, and more! Then something just snapped, something inside of me. 'No! No more! That's it! I don't care!' I didn't care anymore. I didn't care about being better than Kakarot. I didn't care about being a Super Saiyan. I didn't care if I lived. I didn't care about anything! And then...it happened. Yes, that's how it happened... That's how I became a Super Saiyan. The sleeper has awakened. I am the prince of all Saiyans once again!"

    Assault On My Honor

    "It is time to take back what is mine. I will not live my life as your second...that time is over. Every breath you take is an assault on my honor. But no more, Kakarot. By my hands, you will be cut down inch by inch...THE WAY YOU HAVE CUT DOWN MY PRIDE!"

    Respect

    "I used to fight for the sheer pleasure of it; for the thrill of the hunt, oh I had the strength unmeasurable...I spared no one. And yet, you showed mercy to everyone, even your fiercest enemies, even me! Yet, you never fought to kill, or for revenge. Only to test your limits and to push yourself beyond them, to become the strongest you could possibly be. How can a Saiyan fight like that and at the same time be so gentle that he wouldn't hurt a fly? It makes me angry just thinking about it! But, perhaps it is my anger that has made me blind to the truth for so long. I see it now, this day has made it all too clear.

    You're better than me Kakarot. You are the best."

    You're Nothing

    "Just as I thought... you're nothing. Silly robot, you really think you have a chance against a super saiyan like me? Your brain must be malfunctioning. Fresh out of the factory with no warranty and already broken. What a pity."

    Bow Before Your Prince

    "The Super Saiyans of legend were an invincible warrior race! I am their son, and at long last, I have risen to claim my birthright. I have stepped into the ranks of greatness! All my life, I have worked towards this goal and for what...to be brushed aside as easily as a common housefly by an android? A true Super Saiyan would not have fallen. Maybe I'm not who I think I am. Perhaps there are still new plateaus for me to reach. Far greater heights to which I must ascend. Yes. I will ascend. The universe will marvel to see the ultimate Saiyan potential once again realized. And I will be legendary. And then Kakarot, then I will see you bow before your prince!"
