But since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for Vegeta to unlock the Divine Technique that will once again elevate him to the level of his rivals. The answer came in the Granolah arc when Vegeta unlocked the incredible Ultra Ego!

This form essentially acts as the polar opposite of Ultra Instinct and served as a sign to fans that Vegeta was on a journey through his own means to gain power. The form was just as powerful as Ultra Instinct when it first appeared, but it has a few flaws that need to be addressed before Vegeta can reach its full potential. So let's take a look at Ultra Ego's shortcomings and how Vegeta can make up for them in the future. dragon ball.

Flaws of the Ultra Ego

shortcomings in ability

Ultra Ego is the most powerful transformation Vegeta has ever undergone. Because it is the God of Destruction's preferred divine jutsu, Vegeta is placed in a special state very similar to when Goku went Ultra Instinct, but the effect this form has is the opposite. This is a state in which the God of Destruction remains constantly due to his nature as a destroyer, but Vegeta needs a new transformation to contain this destructive power.

Ultra Ego's main ability is the exact opposite of Ultra Instinct's ability. The latter here requires the user to be incredibly calm so that the body can react instinctively to the attack without wasting time thinking about dodging. However, Ultra Ego makes the user stronger the more damage they take. This means that your next attack will be much more powerful than the previous one.

To me, damage is just fuel. Do you know what that means? I am getting stronger!

As the name suggests, Vegeta is generous in terms of frontal attacks, dealing damage so his next attack will be more powerful than the previous one. If Ultra Instinct is the perfect defense, then Ultra Ego is the perfect attack. However, this is where this form's biggest flaw lies, as the user of this transformation can take more damage than they can handle, leading to defeat.

Currently, Ultra Ego is not as aggressively powerful as Ultra Instinct, but it is equally offensive, but it is very unrefined, similar to Ultra Instinct Omen, as Vegeta has only used this form once without training. One way to make Ultra Ego as powerful as Ultra Instinct would be for Vegeta's body to become extremely durable, similar to how Goku's body was in his mastered Ultra Instinct form, through training. This way, any damage he takes won't hurt him and he will still get the benefit of the transformation, making his next attack more powerful.

The main power of this transformation is the ability to become stronger each time damage is taken, but it has been shown that the amount of damage he takes can still be too much for him. This can cause Vegeta to pass out during combat, as seen with both Granolah and Gas. But once his durability increases to the point where regular attacks won't hurt him, Ultra Ego's potential goes through the roof!

Flaws in design

The Ultra Ego has a slightly divisive design. While most fans of the series love the way Vegeta looks with his spiky hair, destroyer aura, and overall wild appearance, there are a few detractors who feel the transformation's appearance leaves a lot to be desired. Some fans of the series feel that Vegeta's long-awaited foray into the realm of Divine Techniques in the form of the God of Destruction should have felt more imposing.

First of all, many people feel like the shape's missing eyebrows make Vegeta look weird. This is likely a deliberate choice, as it portrays him as a very powerful and dangerous character with the ability to destroy entire planets on a whim, as all gods of destruction do, but some felt he looked too animalistic. Moreover, many believe that Vegeta would have looked much better in form if he had kept his signature hair black rather than turning it purple.

Weird face mode…?! It's called Ultra Ego, you idiot!

Many fan art and theories state that they want Vegeta's hair to grow as long as Super Saiyan 3, as a callback to the form the prince never achieved. If there's actually a mastered Ultra Ego further down the line, the transformation's appearance may be significantly different from what fans have seen so far, but what we have now is still an incredible form that brings Vegeta back into the conversation of the powerhouse. dragon ball character!
