Biography
Vegeta, Jr., a descendant of Vegeta, fights his way (off-screen) to the final bout of the junior division match at a Tenka'ichi Budokai one hundred years after the fight against Yi Xing Long.[1] His opponent is Son Goku, Jr., whose gi he arrogantly notes as being dirty. Following this brief banter and their initial attacks, Vegeta, Jr. goes Super Saiyan, prompting Goku, Jr. to do the same.[2]
Vegeta, Jr.'s mother (unnamed in the episode or supplementary reference material) watches the final match from the stands.
