In the popular anime and manga series called Dragon Ball, Vegeta is a staple character who has more transformations than you can shake a Z-Warrior at, and in a viral clip animated in pixel form, all of Vegeta’s epic transformations are front and center for fans to obsess over!
Shared on Reddit by username u/ASPECT3000, this account specializes in making pixel-perfect fanart of nerd properties that fans know and love. Mostly dabbling in making art from the world of Dragon Ball, u/ASPECT3000 has also created sprites of characters from DC Comics, Invincible, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more, and always seems to end up producing pieces that successfully adapt these iconic heroes and villains into a medium that not only looks great but elicits a kind of visual nostalgia not seen since the computer gaming days of the late 80s and early 90s.
A fan-favorite Dragon Ball character introduced in the Dragon Ball Z series, Vegeta is a Z-Warrior who has gone from villain to hero, Saiyan Prince to Saiyan God, and arrogant egotistical maniac to… slightly less arrogant egotistical maniac, all in the name of obtaining more power, and of course, defeating his rival Kakarot aka Goku. Having the ability to command more than one overpowered state depending on the situation at hand, Vegeta getting a pixelated makeover is the most inspired way to show them off all at once while also impressing fans on an artistic level that isn’t easily replicated.
Starting things off with Vegeta tossing away his green coat seen during the events of the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie, u/ASPECT3000 animates Vegeta ascending to Super Saiyan level, then immediately into Super Saiyan 2, crackling lightning and all. Next showing Vegeta spinning freely in the air as he transcends into Super Saiyan God mode, u/ASPECT3000 depicts Vegeta powering up to Super Saiyan Blue, Super Saiyan Blue Evolved, and finally, his most recent transition in his Ultra Ego form. But that’s not all! As a bonus, u/ASPECT3000 animates Vegeta transforming into the only form not already shown in the clip, an evil but ultimately selfless version of the character dubbed Majin Vegeta!
So while it’s almost certain Vegeta will get yet another transformation somewhere down the line, u/ASPECT3000 giving him a fun piece of pixel fanart animation to show off what he’s already capable of is a treat for fans of the character to see. Vegeta isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so expect u/ASPECT3000 to be there too to make some sweet pixel art of him when he inevitably turns into something more powerful than ever before.
