>You fight with the resolve to lose? I do not understand. You fight for the human race? If so, then know that my actions are, in fact, for their benefit. For example, in human society, lands are divided by national borders, much like territorial marking. On the right side of the border, children may starve to death.

>Why the hell did Vegeta go to HELL but not Piccolo?

Because Vegeta was an insufferable piece of shit all the way until the last saga, whereas Piccolo put his own bullshit aside when the first threat came to Earth that was bigger than both he and Goku.

Considering Vegeta had no qualms with not only letting Dr. Gero use his mate and newborn kid as a distraction to escape he willfully allowed Cell to become perfect after all the bullshit and literal tears he shed on Namek over being used like a garbage, by Freeza, then discarded; Vag's' faggot ass jumped to the top of King Yenma's shitlist.

When you consider Vegeta was originally spared on Earth, despite being defeated, had his people aveneged on Namek and STILL was gifted a means to achieve Super Saiyan and continue his practically extinct race, the fucker comes off ungrateful as fuck--compared to, oh, say someone like Tenshinhan who, despite training his ass off to the point of abusing his body, didn't have the bullshit Saiyan genes to fall back on, much less guys like Kuririn and Yamcha, that, despite always being the first to help, even when they get shitted on as far as power goes, rarely ever get thrown a bone.

>How you could not enjoy how conflicted he was between being the best/a proper saiyan and setting his differences aside is beyond me.

Because I was fortunate not to be from an ass-backwards country that showed DBZ before Dragon Ball, thus I already saw better characters like Tenshinhan, Kuririn and Yamcha grow from enemies, to rivals to friends of Goku, instead of the stilled scenes of Vegeta not being a complete waste of fucking space, that Vegetafags seriously overrate, which is laughable comparatively, to how Goku, Gohan and Piccolo grow as characters.

The saddest part is that with the manga's new ending, Vegeta's character regresses back to the same insufferable faggot from the beginning of the series.

>>119971805
Because Piccolo (Jr, not Piccolo Daimou) did a bunch of foul deeds, but nothing much worse than anything Tien or Krillin might have done in their previous lives.

Remember, Piccolo was spat up by Piccolo Daimou. At the start of Dragonball, Piccolo is only 8 years old and Gohan is 4.

Vegeta, admittedly has went around the universe killing entire planets full of people so he could help his employer/owner sell the planet later on. Despite what Vegeta says about being owned by Freeza, he still enjoyed what he was doing.
