Vegetto is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga and Dragon Ball Z anime. He is the immensely powerful result of Goku and Vegeta fused by use of the Potara earrings, and is widely accepted as being the strongest character from the Dragon Ball universe before Dragon Ball GT. Vegerot, like Gotenks before him was voiced by two actors at the same time. In Japan he was voiced by the seiyū Masako Nozawa (Goku) and Ryo Horikawa (Vegeta). In the US version Vegerot was voiced by Sean Schemmel (Goku) and Christopher Sabat, (Vegeta). The Ocean Group version has Vegerot only voiced by Brian Drummond, the first voice actor for Vegeta.

[edit] Appearance
Vegetto is a mixture of both Goku and Vegeta's characteristics. He is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, about the same height as Goku. His personality is a mix of the two. He acts cocky like Vegeta, but he had been acting in that way on purpose to accomplish his plan of saving the others, just as Goku had done in the past. Being a whole new being, he refers to his counterparts as seperate people as they would address eachother, he said,"Vegeta," as Goku would,"and Kakarotto" as Vegeta would,"combined, so I guess that makes me Vegerot."
Vegetto's hair is more inclined toward Vegeta since it firmly stands upwards. However, he has two bangs sticking out like a downward "V" shape, a trait caught from Goku. Vegerot wears two earrings as result from the Potara Fusion, and wears an inverted version of Goku's outfit. The inversion is caused by adopting Vegeta's outfit for the external wear, and using the orange of Goku's outfit for the undershirt. Finally, he wears white gloves and boots in the same style as Vegeta.
[edit] History
[edit] Origin of the name
The name Vegetto (ベジット Bejitto?) arises from a combination of the Japanese characters that form Vegeta (ベジイタ Bejiita?) and Kakarotto (カカロット Kakarotto?). One can see that the name is formed from taking the "ベ" and "ジ" characters from Vegeta's name, and the "ッ" and "ト" characters from Kakarotto. When translating into English, therefore, the name "Vegerot" uses "Vege-" from Vegeta, and "-tto" from Kakarotto. Because Viz uses the name Kakarot, however, they extracted the letters "-rot" from Son Goku's Saiyan name, and thus named the character Vegerot (note that the English dub calls him Vegito, which doesn't make sense given the spellings of the two characters' names).
[edit] The Potara Fusion
The Potara Earring Fusion used to form Vegerot is what Rou Dai Kaioshin considered to be the proper way to do fusion, as opposed to the inferior Fusion Dance technique. The resulting fusion lasts forever, even if the fused being removes the earrings. The determination of power levels is more complex than simply adding together the power levels of the two individuals. Vegerot has the confidence and fighting smarts of Goku, along with the cocky grin and genius strategical mind of Vegeta; in other words, the perfect fusion. Goku and Vegeta's rivalry somehow made the fusion more compatible, giving them even more power than expected, which was seen when Vegerot transformed into "Super Vegerot".
[edit] Vegerot is born
Vegerot was a fusion formed out of desperation by Vegeta and Goku in an effort to stop Buu, an ancient and amazing powerful creature whose only purpose is to destroy. Because Buu had absorbed some of the Z Fighters, including Gotenks, and was getting more powerful, Goku and the Kaiôshins came to a conclusion that the best hope of defeating Buu was fusion, but there was no time to attempt the fusion technique. As a solution to this problem, the Potara Earrings were given to Goku to save the universe from Buu. Goku then proceeds to Earth just in time, before Buu could destroy it. Goku threw the earring to Gohan so they could fuse, but Gohan failed to catch it. Buu then lost a large amount of power due to Gotenks separating inside him. He then proceeds to absorb Gohan, becoming even more deadly and powerful. Goku is now left with no one that could help him by fusing, but miraculously he senses Vegeta's energy, and quickly transports himself to his location. After some quick persuasion, due to Buu beating them up, Vegeta finally agrees, giving birth to Vegerot.
[edit] Vegerot vs. Super Buu w/Gohan
Buu didn't take the new opponent very seriously, even though he felt a great power from him. After playing around with Buu for a while, Vegerot then decided to turn things up a notch, by increasing his power with a transformation. Buu is stunned to know that Vegerot can become even more powerful than he is now. Vegerot transforms into a Super Saiyan, and calls himself "Super Vegerot". Buu is impressed, but not convinced that Vegerot is stronger than him.
Vegerot then begins to completely dominate Buu even more than he did before. Buu tried to use many different tricks, but he failed to even phase Vegerot. Buu then became angry. This caused him to start breaking through dimensions, which if left unchecked, could have destroyed the universe. Vegerot forced his way through a shield Buu put up, which effectively stopped his rage.
Buu was easily beaten down by Vegerot with little effort. Buu with little left to loose, decided to turn Vegerot into a coffee flavored jawbreaker. Buu thought that he had defeated the powerful warrior. All seemed lost until Buu realized the candy was acting funny. Vegerot revealed that he was able to do just about everything he could do before, and maybe something a little extra. Vegerot attacked Buu and cut off his antenna. Buu eventually turned him back after realising that there was no way to hurt Vegerot because of his small size.
Vegerot easily beat Buu up, leaving him weak and tired. Buu's regeneration was even failing him. Vegerot decided that it was time to end the battle once and for all. Buu started to panic with no idea of what to do next. Vegerot then gave Buu ten seconds to prepare for death, and tells him to do whatever he feels like in that time period. When Vegerot reached nine, Buu stretchered the antenna that was recently cut off, and engulfed Vegerot. The battle was over with Buu coming out as the victor.
Though unknown to Buu, Vegerot could've easily destroyed him at any given moment and could have escaped the goo, but yet he toyed around with him. Before being absorbed, he had set up a barrier, so he wouldn't be integrated into Buu. This is because he wanted Buu to absorb him, to free all his companions and family members. Thus the reasoning for cutting off Buu's antenna and giving him the free time. Buu then goes on a rampage, and Vegerot is left within him to free everyone. But, when he entered Buu's body, the magic of the earrings somehow wear off, and Vegerot become Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta then smashed the earrings, so they wouldn't have to fuse again. When facing Kid Buu, they were also given the option to become Vegerot again, but they refused.
[edit] Special abilities
[edit] Renzokou Kikouha
(Banshee Blast) Vegetto reaches out with his right hand, body hunched over somewhat with all five of his fingers pointed at his opponent. In DBZ fashion, he calls out the name of this attack while charging up five small yellow orbs of energy, one at the tip of each finger on his right hand. After doing so, he launches the orbs at his opponent. However, the fashion in which Vegerot used this was in a different matter. As Super Buu had sent a wave of Kamikaze Ghosts, Vegerot used this attack to destroy them before they could do any amount of damage.
[edit] Ki no Tsurugi
(Flash Sword, Spirit Sword, Beam Sword) A blade created from pure, condensed ki(energy) around the right hand and formed into a sword-like object. It is usually roughly around twenty feet in length, and yet can be controlled to become longer or shorter, at Vegetto's will. The cutting power of the blade cannot truly be measured very accurately, but using the attacks upon Super Buu as a gauge, it seems that this sword has incredible strength. Because this sword is created by a single usage of ki, and can continue to be used without dying out like a projectile, this could be considered one of Vegetto's most devastating attacks.
[edit] Fighting Candy
After being turned into a coffee-flavored jawbreaker by Buu so that he can be consumed, Vegerot is still able to fight as a small candy. Some consider this to be (ironically) Vegerot's most dangerous form. Not only does Vegerot retain all of his power, but he is also extremely fast and far too small for Buu to hit. In the dub he calls it his "Pinball Attack". However, while this small size gives him a colossal advantage in battle, he is completely vulnerable. Vegerot is unable to use any special abilities in this form, rendering him unable to kill villains like Cell and Buu as long as they can regenerate fast enough, even though they would be beaten to death. This is however, a special ability as no one else possesses it.
[edit] Vegerot: Big Bang Attack
This special type of Big Bang mixed with a Kamehameha is much different from Gogeta's special. Vegerot's version of the Big Bang attack is much weaker. Vegerot extends his left arm towards his target, and stiffens all his fingers upwards. He then begins to power up, firing a powerful beam of energy, that instead of come crashing down like a meteor, fires straight towards the target inflicting painful damage. It has the straight beam feature like Goku's Kamehameha, the aim of both, and the power of the Big Bang Attack.
This is a much more powerful version of Goku's Kamehameha. Vegerot's Kamehameha glows much more brightly than anyone else's and is yellow or gold, not blue. As a result of Vegerot's immense power, this attack inflicts an incredible amount of damage. While it is unclear whether this is just due to the increased level of energy or a change in the nature of the blast, this version of the Kamehameha incinerates anything it touches, whereas Goku's only blasts it away.
[edit] Spirit Cannon
Very similar to Spirit Sword, except the energy doesn't fan out like a sword. Vegerot points towards his target, while preparing for the attack. It charges up, and then blasts whatever the target was. Vegerot did perform this attack on Buu, but he managed to regenerate. It has a slightly different effect in the Dragon Ball Z Budokai Games, with Vegerot extending his hand towards the enemy, becoming surrounded by yellow energy and releasing a powerful yellow energy blast, instead of a constant beam of energy.
[edit] Final Kamehameha
This is one of or perhaps even the strongest attack that Vegerot performs on Super Buu. This attack is a combination blend of the Final Flash and the Kamehameha wave. Vegerot puts both of his hands in front of him, combines the energy of the Final Flash and the Kamehameha into a compact bright white ball with a bluish glow and is surrounded by a blue aura and occasional streaks of blue electricity. The ball is only about the size of Vegerot himself. Vegerot fires off the ball, which creates a gigantic explosion on contact and leaves a huge cloud of smoke behind. The charge up and hand positions are a bit different in the video games, where Vegerot charges it like a Final Flash and fires it like the Kamehameha. Vegerot uses this technique to blow off Super Buu's left arm, small parts of his right arm antenna, both of his legs, and batter up the rest of his body quite a bit. This attack is available to Vegerot in the Playstation game, Dragonball: Final Bout. After pressing Down, Back, Forward, Triangle, he yells, "O tsurugi wa koitsu da! FAINARU KAMEHAMEHA!" This has never been seen before in the anime or manga. Also in the game DBZ Shin-Budokai, he has this attack and he simply says "Final Kamehameha!" when performed.
[edit] Forms and transformations
[edit] Vegerot
This is Vegerot's base form. This form is first seen when he is first fused. In this form, he is immensely powerful. At this stage, Vegerot's strength is far greater than a Super Saiyan 3's. He is able to completely match Super Buu w/Gohan in this form. However, Vegerot wouldn't much dominate Buu if he were to sustain this form, as it was shown Buu could've landed a few punches and attack on the Saiyan. The power of the Potara Earrings gave Vegerot far more than enough power, making him completely invincible to all characters. Even at this stage, Vegerot would still be considered the strongest character in the whole entire series. However, he is able to make a transformation and substancially increase his power and abilities. Also note that in the manga, Vegerot directly transformed into a Super Saiyan, calling himself Super Vegerot.
[edit] Super Vegerot (Super Saiyan)
Much to Buu's dismay, Vegerot revealed he could transform, and increase his power. In the anime, when he was first fused into a normal state he was already far stronger than a Super Saiyan 3. In the manga he transformed right away. Once he transformed into a Super Saiyan, he became truly unstoppable. As a Super Saiyan, he completely dominated Super Buu w/Gohan. After his transformation, he gained a slight increase in muscle, though everything else remains the same, except for features such as: Golden hair, eyebrows, green eyes and golden aura (with occasional surges of blue electricity). Vegerot called himself in this new form "Super Vegerot" (Or "Super Vegerot" in the English manga). Super Vegerot appeared to be well beyond Buu's abilities to defeat, though there was one moment where Super Buu might have been able to win indirectly by destroying existence itself. Super Vegerot hardly exerted himself in battle, and was in absolute control of the fight. Vegerot is generally acknowledged as the most powerful character in Dragon Ball Z and the Dragon Ball manga, possessing the enormous power of both Goku and Vegeta.
