What If Vegeta Gained Immortality?

Post by TheUltimateVegito » Sat Dec 13, 2014 4:34 pm

What if Vegeta gained immortality during the Frieza saga? How would he go about dominating Frieza?

Also, how would Frieza and his soldiers not having scouters give Vegeta an advantage?

If he gained it, he fights Freeza, Freeza transforms, then kicks Vegeta's ass time and time again. Dende could possibly heal him a few times for Zenkais but eventually he gets offed like he does in the manga. Unless Vegeta lucks out with a Goku level Zenkai, Freeza will just turn him into a living punching bag that cant die. Vegeta would likely be regretting his wish before long.

I think he'll just get zenkais until he surpasses Frieza.

They wouldnt matter. The Zenkai takes time to kick in as Saiyans would normally recover over time or in a healing chamber. Unless Dende is around to speed things up, Freeza can just keep pummeling Vegeta before the Zenkai process can even start. Vegeta would just be a immortal punching bag.

Vegeta would just got his ass kick and over again. If Vegeta is immortal then they would have explain that he can still die if his body is destroy for good or if his head is remove from his whole body. I don't think much would have changed if you ask me.

Freeza would blow up the planet, and the immortal Vegeta would be sucking vacuum.

I suppose when Vegeta means immortality he must likely means he can't be killed so in that case he'd just get his ass handed to him on a hot platter 'till he's strong enough like others have said.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Saiyan near-death healing boosts work when you get... near death. When you're immortal, that never happens. So Vegeta gets tortured by Freeza. Forever. Heck, what's stopping Freeza from just ripping off Vegeta's head, disintegrating his body, and chucking the powerless head into space forever?

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

You guys are forgetting what happened to Garlic Jr when he wished for immortality. He got healed of his injuries wolverine style. Look at that episode when Garlic Jr is fighting Piccolo and Gohan post Namek saga. He got a hole blasted through his chest and then it healed quickly. I know it's filler but that's the only representation of a wished immortality that we see. So if that was Vegeta, that would be quick zenkais.

Garlic Jr. only exist in the anime and movies. Toriyama's immortality would be different then what Toei would have done.

Are we sure that wasn't some form of regeneration? We don't really know much about the Makyo's, so perhaps that's a unique ability they have.

I have to agree with this.
I mean Vegeta's not stupid, perhaps this is what he interpreted immortality to be like and gain 'Deadpool-esque' regeneration abilities (if not better) and not getting beaten up for eternity.

So maybe Freeza would accidently give Vegeta a load of zenkais then he'd kill him
Or Freeza just decides to leave him in space :lol:

Well, we don't actually know if it would be different.

Freeza could do something like toss Vegeta into the sun.

There's a reason why Vegeta harped on immortality. He knew if ran across Freeza at one point, immorality would come in very handy. Probably because of receiving infinite zenkais

It was more like a desperate last resort than anything.

Even if he was immortal and got a ton of zenkais he would never come close to reaching Freeza's full power.

What I don't understand about Vegeta's immortality logic is, he thinks that Freeza would allow him to get zenkais, or not figure out the first few times that Vegeta is playing dead after a complete beat down and is waiting for him to leave the planet before he can go heal. There are things far worst than death. Like enduring drowning because you cannot die. Enduring the vacuum of space because you cannot die. Enduring torture because you cannot die. Being dismembered because you cannot die. Enduring starvation...etc. Freeza could do it all to Vegeta, and Freeza has all the time in the universe to do it

It would depend on how his immortality would work. Would it function like a instant regeneration thing? Would it allow him to get zenkais? Would he ever age?

Lack of aging come with immortality. If we are going to go with Garlic Jr, immortality would include regeneration similar to Cell or Buu. If we were going to guess Zenkais, we look to Cell. Outside of when he exploded, did he get a zenkai when he regenerated? Even then, regenerating won't push water out of your lungs.

Not really. If we interpret immortality as strictly the inability to die, there would be nothing stopping his body from getting old, as long as he didn't actually die. Eventually, his body could completely decay and he could exist as a being without a body, who is still alive and unable to die.
