Why does the responsibility have to fall with Vegeta specifically? There are other Saiyans who could fight.
Goku and Trunks team up for like 30 seconds and still get their arses kicked. After that it's a case of Goku, Vegeta and Future Trunks each taking another crack at the whip collectively.
Those other saiyans have a lot more to their name than Vegeta does. Goku is the face of the franchise, he's taken down every villain from day one minus Cell. Z had 13 movies and not once did Vegeta get anything major to do. with that many movies, would it have hurt to give him 1 ? Trunks killed Mecha Freeza who at the time was still the main villain of the story then saved his timeline by killing Cell and the 2 androids. Now Trunks is the face of the video games. Vegeta ? he's better off than the rest of the cast but it wasn't until the manga's Black arc where we could finally say he got a main villain for himself and he was the protagonist of a story. When you look at how popular he is and all the character development he got it's surprising it took them this long to give him that.
In both cases Vegeta got the short end of the stick.
Okay a few things to note:
- Goku did not kill every major villain on his own. He lost to Vegeta, Future Trunks killed Freeza and it was a team effort to defeat Majin Boo.
- Since when was Future Trunks the face of the videogame franchise?
- Out of the fifteen Z movies, Vegeta has appeared in 8 of them, and had an integral role in most of them:
-- In DBZ Movie 6, he prevents Metal Cooler from killing Goku on two separate occasion and provides a major assist in killing him
-- In DBZ Movie 8, he provides the crucial amount of energy needed for Goku to kill Broly
-- In DBZ Movie 12, he saves Goku and fuses with him to kill Janemba and practically save all of reality
-- In DBZ Movie 13, he saved several people from dying in a building from Hirudegarn
-- In DBZ Movie 14, he beats ups Beerus and prevents Beerus from destroying the Earth before Goku arrived
-- In DBZ Movie 15, he beats up Golden Freeza
***Doing something major in the plot isn't just limited to defeating the main villain.
