@shaheen_306 Good thing Dragon Ball’s influence isn’t what makes it a good narrative. Toriyama's work holds up so well, in addition to his brilliance as a comic artist and humorist, is that, in both its gleeful self-indulgence and its consistency in reflecting certain world views.

@Shadii1337 @SinfulBoredom How was it fumbled? The Super Saiyan was never exclusive to Goku. He isn’t some chosen saiyan where only he can use it. And if you paid attention to the series for a second, you would realize it no longer being the strongest was intentional. There is never truly a “strongest”

The contrast between Goku and Vegeta becomes evident through subtle details. For instance, Nappa extending his hand to Vegeta for help differs from Krillin extending his hand to Goku Vegeta callously eliminates a crippled Nappa because the latter was no longer useful to him.

The theme of Goku's earthly nurture versus Vegeta's Saiyan nature is prevalent in the fight. Vegeta consistently looms over Goku, utilizing higher ground to assert his superiority. In contrast, Goku, influenced by his Earthly martial arts teachings, prefers to remain grounded.

Ironically, if the Saiyans had considered him strong enough, he would have shared the same fate as the rest of his people. Instead, he was spared due to the classism within Saiyan society, which eventually led him to become a powerful fighter.

In the Saiyan-Namek arcs, the story explores Goku's growth influenced by his Saiyan heritage. The intention behind Goku's arc is evident throughout the Saiyan and Freeza arcs. The Saiyan ideal is established as an obstacle for Goku to overcome, shaping his journey as an underdog.

Goku's driving motivation stems from his passion and his desire for continuous improvement. This mindset originates from the teachings of Roshi, who instilled in him the notion that there is no ultimate peak and that someone stronger always exists.

Their divergent fighting styles further emphasize the contrast. Vegeta relies on his biological nature to gain an advantage, employing techniques like the Oozaru transformation. Conversely, Goku draws upon acquired skills such as the Genki Dama and Kaioken, representing nurture.

Toriyama intentionally made Goku different from the rest of the Saiyans, emphasizing his unique path. There's a conflict between nature and nurture in Goku's character, stemming from his origins as a discarded Saiyan due to his weak power.

On the other hand, Vegeta represents the epitome of Saiyan culture, a society founded on the Darwinian principle of survival of the fittest. Strength is the sole measure of worth, and the weak and disabled are considered burdens not worth protecting.

Thus, when faced with the possibility that Vegeta might surpass him in strength, Goku maintains a positive outlook. Vegeta's motivation is rooted in his Saiyan pride, which is inherent to his nature. His goal is to win and demonstrate his superiority over others.

However, everything changes when Krillin is killed. Goku's focus shifts, and he no longer fights solely to defeat Freeza but also to humiliate and kill him. As a result, he consistently takes the fight to the sky, showcasing a more aggressive and ruthless approach.

This shift is also apparent in Goku's fighting style in his battle against Freeza. Initially, when given the choice by Freeza to fight on the ground or in the air, Goku chooses the ground, reflecting his upbringing and training as a martial artist.

Once almost everyone is revived by the Dragon Balls, a change occurs in Goku's demeanor. He brings the fight back to the ground, and Freeza even remarks that Goku now desires a hand-to-hand fight, and this shift signifies a return to Goku's martial arts roots.

thereby disproving Vegeta and his ideology. The error in Vegeta's thinking was believing that one needed to act like a Saiyan to achieve this form, when, it required the duality of his Earthly nurturing and Saiyan nature.
