Dragon Ball Super’s colored manga finally arrives at Granolah’s battles
Dragon Ball Super: Ultra Ego Vegeta versus Granolah
DBS Vol. 17 digital colored version releases in 13 hours, that means Ultra Ego Vegeta panels in official colors are coming! https://t.co/IaYQkRc0nn
Dragon Ball Super’s Ultra Ego Vegeta versus Granolah fight formally begins in chapter 75, entitled “God of Destruction Power.” The fight begins with Vegeta charging his Ki, completely overwhelming Granolah in the process before rushing his opponent.
Grabbing him by his collar, Vegeta tells him his head has gotten too big and should be taken down a bit. He then headbutts him, sending him flying back into the ground. Granolah gets up quickly, but he’s already being rushed for another attack by now.
Over the next few pages, the process continues, with Granolah being unable to dodge or land a hit on Vegeta. Eventually, however, he’s able to crash into the Saiyan and catch him by surprise.
This unfortunately doesn’t have the intended effect, as Vegeta looks back up and essentially says the more competitive a battle is, the stronger he gets in this form.
He then grabs Granolah, tossing him into some nearby buildings. When he eventually comes to a stop, Vegeta is already launching another attack, which successfully connects. He’s launched through several more buildings before coming to a stop, commenting that his opponent is now a totally different fighter.
The two briefly discuss the Gods of Destruction, with Granolah learning of their existence here. Vegeta says he learned the technique from a Destroyer, but drew the innate power out on his own, prompting Granolah to launch a Ki attack in disbelief and rage. The Ki blast, however, is ineffective, as are the ones he launched.
While being rushed, Granolah activates his shield as a last resort, which holds up to the oncoming attack. The two discuss the differences between this form and Ultra Instinct before Vegeta settles on the name Ultra Ego. He rushes Granolah and is able to break through the latter’s shield this time, once more sending him flying.
After Monaito appears, the two combatants discuss Planet Vegeta’s fate, with Granolah learning that Frieza had destroyed the planet. This, however, doesn’t appease him to end his quest for vengeance, resuming the fight shortly thereafter. Vegeta takes a direct hit from Granolah, then launches him up in the air with a kick.
After eventually making his way back down, the two have a quick discussion before resuming battle. Granolah launches a building at Vegeta, which the latter effortlessly bisects. Many other buildings begin swarming him, however, landing some hits on the Saiyan.
Injured but not down, he tells Granolah to bring it on. The two go blow-for-blow in the next few scenes, with both finally causing one another. While saying he can still get stronger, Vegeta is almost hit with a surprise Ki blast, which he just barely dodges.
After Granolah teases his opponent, Vegeta launches a barrage of Ki blasts at him. By this point, he’s clearly tired and nearing his limit, even saying his vision is blurring and almost passing out. His opponent, however, is still standing tall and focused, preparing an attack to launch.
In a final effort, Vegeta combines all of his Destroyer Ki into an energy ball, similar to a Spirit Bomb. As the ball is launched at Granolah, his left eye turns red too, signifying a power awakening within him. Using two Ki blasts, he intercepts the Destroyer Ki ball, causing a massive explosion felt all over the planet.
In a twist of fate, their fight ends with Vegeta on the ground in disbelief. As Granolah approaches him, he repeats what was said to him earlier, thanking his opponent for drawing this power out of him.
Dragon Ball Super community reacts to Ultra Ego’s official colors
@DbsHype @DbsHype1 NAH THIS IS FIREEEEE I would’ve preferred golden eyes but THIS IS DRIPPPPPPPPPPP 🔥
Generally speaking, the Dragon Ball Super community is extremely pleased with Ultra Ego Vegeta’s official colors. A common criticism, amongst those otherwise praising the design, is the missed opportunity to go with yellow irises for the form. This would serve as a thematic parallel to Beerus, who himself has yellow eyes.
Interestingly enough, some fans are defending the choice of eye color for continuity’s sake. One fan particularly references Toppo’s God of Destruction form, where he also had reddish-purple eyes similar to the Ultra Ego form.
Others still have a few gripes, with Vegeta’s facial structure in the form being commonly cited. More particularly, the lack of eyebrows when using the form seems to be something many can’t get past.
Other aspects of the form being praised are the aura it possesses, particularly the crackling bolts of energy it gives off. Other criticisms being cited are the lack of diversity in the form’s colors, with some expressing a desire for sleeker hues to be included.
In summation
Overall, the Dragon Ball Super community seems pleased with Ultra Ego Vegeta’s official colors. While there are certainly criticisms, many of them are prefaced with positive notes regarding the form’s design.
Seeing it in action has also, presumably, swung people’s opinions on the newest Dragon Ball Super form. Prior to the colored 17th volume’s release, fans’ only other reference for Ultra Ego’s official colors was a sketch from Dragon Ball Super‘s Jump Festa ’22 events.
