One Dragon Ball writing oversight I will never be able to accept is the complete eradication of the Saiyan race from the overarching plot of Dragon Ball. Vegeta always talking about "Prince of all Saiyans" this, "Where's your Saiyan pride" that; how many chances has Vegeta had to gather the Dragon Balls to make a wish that revives those very people he was born to lead, rule over & liberate from the oppressive regime of Frieza. Isn't that just the epitome of masculinity. I find that so embarrassingly performative. It cheapens Vegeta's entire character when he has the ability to change the fate of his entire race & yet chooses not to. What are the subconscious implications behind that decision? Vegeta is a tyrannical ruler that sacrificed the future of his entire race in pursuit of his own personal power. It implies Vegeta fears that inevitably someone born on Planet Vegeta will surpass him, Which has already been surmounted by the existence of both Kakarot & Broly so the suppression of his entire race is something he condones to relinquish his responsibility, protect his ego & adhere to hedonism. Vegeta still refers to himself as Prince even though his father died resisting the subjugation of Frieza. Internally he has not accepted the responsibility of King Vegeta; displaying the mentality of a juvenile. Saiyans do have a history of barbarism; however, Vegeta has accumulated so much more power in the decades of their non existence that it would be an effortless endeavor to overpower any who deviate from the enlightened path that Vegeta envisions. I want to see Vegeta reform the Saiyan race & show them another way of living as their King, making the hard decisions of culling those who take the revival of the Saiyans for granted & refusing to subvert from the primitive ideology that lead to the destruction of Planet Sadala. It makes absolutely no sense to me how much simping there is in the Dragon Ball fandom for Frieza. It almost seems artificial & contrived. So you're meaning to tell me that Vegeta believes more in the redemption of Frieza than the redemption of his entire warrior race? Dragon Ball characters are also more spiritually attuned to life after death, how can Vegeta be so ignorant to the feelings of the deceased Saiyans to be collaborating with the entity that denied them their entire future & ever reaching their true potential as a Super Saiyan. Think of all the Saiyans that died before ever experiencing that bliss. Prince Vegeta, Where is your Saiyan pride?
