What is Vegeta’s Last Name?
The Prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta is one of the most recognizable characters in the popular Dragon Ball franchise. The Saiyan prince has been a fan favorite since his introduction in the manga by Akira Toriyama in the mid-1980s. Since then, fans have been dying to find out what Vegeta’s last name is.
Vegeta’s Origins
Vegeta is of a race known as Saiyans, which is an extraterrestrial warrior race from the fictional planet Vegeta, hence his name. The Saiyans were originally a conquering race, employed by the series’ primary antagonists, Freiza and his distant ancestor Chilled. As they were a warrior race, the Saiyans did not have last names, and their only name was their first name, similar to the Roman naming system popular in the West.
Vegeta’s Last Name
Despite this, fans of the Dragon Ball series have long looked for references to Vegeta’s last name. In the original manga, there is no mention of him possessing one. The majority of fan speculation has surrounded the possibility that Vegeta may have been given a last name by Bulma when they got married, which would be revealed if the Dragon Ball Super sequel ever happens.
Fan Theories
Despite there being no official confirmation about Vegeta’s last name, fans have presented several theories. Some believe that Vegeta inherited the last name “Vegeto” from his father King Vegeta, who named all of his children after vegetables. Others have postulated that his last name is in fact “Brief”, a reference to Bulma’s last name.
Conclusion
At the moment, Vegeta’s last name is still a mystery that has yet to be revealed. Fans of the series will have to wait until an official announcement is made before they can know the truth. Until then, we can only speculate and enjoy the Dragon Ball franchise.
