However by the end of Dragon Ball Z he appears to be much taller, more muscular, his hair height having also been shortened though he is still roughly the same height and shorter than Goku.Įver since he was a child, he has shown to be a ruthless killer who shows no mercy, just like most Saiyans. Originally he is drawn to appear very small and lean to make him appear to be the less threatening of his pairing with the immensely sized Nappa. If observed closely, Vegeta actually changes appearance physically over the course of Dragon Ball Z.

He states in an episode of the Perfect Cell Saga in Dragon Ball Z that a pure Saiyan's hair does not change from the day they are born. Vegeta's hair never grows in length besides when he transforms to Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 4. However, even when Vegeta does lose the armor, he is always seen wearing white gloves and white boots in battle throughout the Dragon Ball Z saga. A main characteristic of Vegeta's was the fact that he was the only living Saiyan whom continued to wear the traditional Saiyan armor (in reference to his heritage) and has been seen wearing various different forms of the armor, therefore making the Saiyan armor more synonymous with him, although he slowly abandons the Saiyan armor later in Dragon Ball Z and then completely in Dragon Ball GT, where he is depicted wearing "Earth-like" clothing. His hair firmly stands upwards, and has a huge widow's peak. Vegeta's stands 5 feet 3 inches (in comparison with Goku's 5 feet 7 inch height as stated by creator Akira Toriyama).
