Vegeta's Missing Scar

[Kakarot88]

When Goku blasts Vegeta in the eye while he is in his Oozaru state, did anybody else ever think that Vegeta was going to have a permanent scar or should have had a permanent scar, especially when he says Goku scarred his face?

I thought for sure there would be some sort of mark when he got out of the healing chamber and went to Namek.

Yeah, I think there should have been a scar.

That's not his only missing scar.

Most likely it's a design thing, I remember seeing the episode as well he's got scars all over his torso, but then in the Great Saiyaman saga where Vegeta is training in the gravity room topless, he's got no scars.

A similar topic also pop up back in 2008

So, we see when Vegeta is training and the like between the Freeza saga and fighting the Jinzoningen, but I'm trying to remember if shirtless Vegeta is shown in the Buu arc at all, since I don't remember seeing his scars ever again.

Plus, wouldn't scars, like other physical traits, carry over into fusions? Granted Gogeta is more or less a Toei creation (though I myself am not sure if Toriyama designed him at all), I wonder why we never see these scars on Gogeta?

Here's him with scars

Spoiler:

But later he doesn't have them

Yeah I was just talking about an actual line in the manga versus anime bad assery

On the subject of scars, I find it odd that Tien kept his from Tao Pai-Pai's knife, and Yamcha kept his scars from whatever he got them from when he was revived, yet Goku and Vegeta don't both have scars where the holes in their chests were when they died.

From the 2008 Vegeta scare thread.

there were a couple of times in the manga where he was shown with scars. One was when he was asking Dr. Briefs to build him the 300 times gravity machine. Also, when he first stepped out of the healing tank before going to Namek (when he was shown fully nude from the back ), I think he had some scars then, too (but I'm in the process of moving and my manga's all packed up, so I can't check). Trust me, I've looked over his nude/shirtless scenes plenty of times, I'm an expert in the field I also noticed that GT took away his nipples, and gave him his clothes back after he went Oozaru....damn you, GT!

Tenshinhan & Yamcha kept their scars because their wounds healed naturally, they didn't heal through senzu, healing chamber, or Kami's power.

Bro still not arguing with you, you mentioned anime so I responded. I am well versed in the manga too, I don't need pictures, but thank you.

I am only referring to the line that Vegeta says when Goku blasts him in the eye about "being scarred" and Goku specifically says he is giving Vegeta "something to remember me by"... that is it.

......This wasn't an argument nor a debate. Why did you get that feeling? I barely said anything. I just quoted from a 2008 topic that explain that Vegeta has many missing scars. I understand that you mean just the Oozaru scar. I was just showing that Vegeta should have scars but Toriyama and Toei forgot to draw them, animate them, or they both just didn't want Vegeta to have a scar. That's all I'm saying. Yes he should have a scar but he doesn't.

That's totally my fault, I thought you were being snarky, completely misinterpreted your post. Well, back on topic, do you think he'd have looked better with a scar?

I think it could have added to the Vegeta / Goku rivalry because it'd be a constant physical reminder of KAAAAKAAAROOOOOT!!

Maybe yes,. Depend on how the scar looks. Though it would have been badass to have that added to Goku and Vegeta feud. Hell it would have made Majin Vegeta speeches so amazing. I can picture him saying "The scar on m face reminds me every day that I the Prince of all saiyans is inferior to a low class trash.".

Let's not go overboard with it, but can we get some fan art of what Vegeta would look like with an interesting scar over his eye? I'm thinking something simple, like Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist. Or would it be more like Kakashi from Naruto?

I'm sure KentalSSJ have some. He got fan art for EVERYTHING. But I've found some.

It;s a Vegeta and Vegeta Jr compare. But seeing as Goku ki blast Vegeta's eye. I'm sure we can think his scar should have done something like this

Gotta be Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist! It's just got that "blasted in the eye" look to it that would have been perfect!

Aren't these all veins instead of scars?

Spoiler:

There are 2 scars very close to his veins on his upper body. Unless I need my glasses on. But don't the first picture have scars?

[Kakarot88]

Yeah I always thought that Back scar was supposed to be from Yajirobe

Some of those are definitely scars.

Maybe Saiyan skins heals better than human skin.
