c38: The Pride of Saiyans! Gabe Transforms
While Vegeta was momentarily caught in Cabba's rapid assault, he suddenly erupted with a surge of energy. The powerful shockwave forced Cabba to halt his advance. Vegeta seized the moment, breaking through the pressure with a burst of speed and counterattacked delivering a flurry of rapid punches that pushed Cabba back across the ring!
But Cabba wasn't fazed. The two Saiyans collided again with fierce intensity fists clashing, energy crackling, and shockwaves blasting outward. Their battle stirred the wind itself as the floor beneath them cracked and trembled.
"Haaah!!" Cabba roared, spotting an opening. He drove a sharp kick into Vegeta's side, landing a direct hit on his waist!
Vegeta's body twisted from the impact as he flew backward, his boots skidding across the ring's tiles. He hit the ground with a thud but quickly steadied himself. Instinctively, he planted his hands at his waist.
To everyone's surprise, Cabba mirrored him taking the exact same stance.
"Galick Cannon!!"
"Ha!!"
Their voices overlapped. Two powerful ki blasts launched simultaneously Vegeta's deep purple Galick Cannon clashed violently with Cabba's bright golden wave of energy. The beams collided mid-air, sending shockwaves rippling through the ring in a spectacular explosion of light and dust!
The smoke cleared slowly, revealing the silhouettes of both warriors bruised, panting, but still standing.
Vegeta looked at Cabba with a flicker of pride in his eyes. "Not bad. You're definitely a Saiyan…"
Cabba, catching his breath, smiled in return. "You're incredible too, sir."
Vegeta's gaze sharpened. "Then let's keep going!"
Suddenly, his aura flared like wildfire, and with a sharp roar, Vegeta transformed golden light engulfed his body as his hair turned up and spiked into its iconic form. The ground trembled beneath him, and his power surged exponentially.
Vegeta had become a Super Saiyan.
Cabba stared in awe, momentarily frozen by the overwhelming presence. Then he steadied himself and readied his stance once more.
Vegeta frowned. "Why aren't you transforming? You're holding back."
Cabba shook his head solemnly. "I… I can't. I don't know how."
Vegeta blinked. "What?"
Cabba lowered his arms slightly and said honestly, "In Universe 6, we don't have the concept of Super Saiyan. I've only heard legends. No one's ever transformed not even me."
Vegeta stood silently for a moment, digesting the words. The idea of Saiyans unaware of Super Saiyan transformation shocked him.
Cabba then raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. "Mr. Vegeta, please teach me. I want to learn how to become a Super Saiyan!"
"What?" Vegeta replied, his tone suddenly turning severe.
Cabba bowed deeply. "Please, sir! I want to fight like you with that power. Please teach me!"
Vegeta's jaw clenched. His face darkened but not from anger. A complex expression crossed his features, part disbelief, part disgust, and part challenge.
"You… want to be taught?" Vegeta said coldly. Then a dangerous glint flickered in his eye, and his lip curled into a grimace. "What happened to your Saiyan pride, huh?! Are you telling me a warrior needs to beg for power?!"
Cabba's eyes widened in shock but before he could respond, Vegeta had already moved.
SWOOSH!
Vegeta reappeared right in front of him in a flash of light and buried a heavy punch into Cabba's stomach.
"GUAAHH!!" Cabba cried out as his body folded from the impact and flew back violently, skidding across the ring!
Before he could recover, Vegeta was already there again.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
A relentless series of blows rained down on Cabba hooks, elbows, knees Vegeta didn't hold back. Each strike sent shockwaves through the air, and Cabba was tossed around like a ragdoll under Vegeta's barrage.
"HAAA!!!"
In desperation, Cabba fired a desperate energy blast but Vegeta tilted his head slightly, letting it soar past him harmlessly. In the next instant, he caught Cabba by the neck, lifting him clean off the ground.
"Ghhk…!" Cabba choked, struggling against the grip. His legs kicked helplessly in the air as Vegeta's fingers tightened.
Vegeta stared coldly into his eyes. "If you really want to become a Super Saiyan, then don't ask me to teach you. Find the fire yourself. Get angry. Feel it, the real fury that comes when your pride is crushed!"
Cabba's breath was shallow, his vision blurring but something was awakening inside him. A flicker. A spark. Rage… helplessness… frustration… and most of all the pride of a true Saiyan warrior.
Vegeta sneered coldly at Cabba. "With someone like you, what makes you think you have the right for me to teach you?!"
Cabba stared in disbelief. He hadn't expected Vegeta's attitude to shift so suddenly. The sudden cruelty in his tone caught him completely off guard.
"Hmph! A Saiyan begging for power?" Vegeta snapped. "Where is your pride?! Where is the fire that burns in our blood? You shame our entire race. I'm disgusted!"
His sharp glare bored into Cabba. "You… are an embarrassment to the Saiyan name."
Cabba's body trembled under the weight of Vegeta's words. The pressure radiating from Vegeta's transformed form kept him frozen in place. His ki was completely suppressed, like a child before a storm.
From the stands, confusion rippled through the audience.
"That idiot Vegeta!" Bulma growled. "He's being way too harsh!"
But Goku frowned and spoke up calmly. "No… Vegeta wouldn't act like this without a reason. He's got a plan. I know him better than anyone."
He crossed his arms with a small grin. "He might seem harsh, but he's trying to push something out of that kid."
As his sparring partner for years, Goku knew well: Vegeta wasn't heartless just stubborn, proud, and incredibly tough when it came to training others.
"Ohoho…" Whis chuckled, his finger touching his chin. "This reminds me of when Vegeta himself tossed aside all pride and begged me for training. It's quite adorable, don't you think?"
Everyone: "..."
Luya watched quietly from the corner, saying nothing. As an observer of Universe 6's fighters, he focused instead on Cabba's fighting rhythm and response. He'd seen footage before, but witnessing this battle in person, analyzing the real-time growth of a Saiyan… it was something else entirely. It would all be useful for the Tournament of Power, which he was already preparing for.
And sure enough, the moment of change was approaching.
Back in the ring, Vegeta's verbal barrage continued, laced with merciless provocations.
"You're pathetic! I'll end you now. Then I'll go to your planet and wipe out every last one of your loved ones. Your friends, your teachers, your family! I'll make sure your entire planet collapses with you!!"
He grinned menacingly, his voice twisted with fake malice.
Cabba's eyes widened. His breath caught in his throat.
And then… it broke.
His pupils narrowed, his jaw clenched, and his aura began to tremble.
"W-What…?" he gasped, voice shaking.
Vegeta's words sliced deeper. "You can't even protect them. You're useless, a failure of a warrior! What kind of Saiyan are you?!"
Cabba's fists clenched. His breathing grew heavier. And then—
"YOU… SHUT UP!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
With a roar that split the air, Cabba exploded in fury. His ki burst outward in a brilliant shockwave, forcing even Vegeta to brace himself. It was wild, untamed raw, rising power.
"Tch." Vegeta smirked. "There it is."
"I won't… let you hurt them!!"
Cabba's voice was deeper now, filled with conviction. He threw his head back and let out a guttural scream.
"RAAAAHHHH!!!"
BOOM!
In that instant, Cabba's entire body was engulfed in golden light. The ground beneath him cracked, and electricity began crackling in the air. His black hair spiked upward and turned shimmering gold. His eyes shifted to turquoise.
Super Saiyan.
Everyone watching gasped.
"He really did it…" Krillin whispered.
"He transformed!" Master Roshi muttered in awe.
Goku grinned widely, arms crossed. "Vegeta's really got a talent for pushing people past their limits."
Vegeta said nothing, simply watching as Cabba's golden aura roared like a wildfire.
The newly transformed Cabba roared again and charged forward — faster and stronger than before. His first punch landed cleanly against Vegeta's chest.
Surprisingly, Vegeta didn't block.
BAM!
Then
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
"DADADADADA!!!"
Cabba launched a furious combo, his fists like thunder, striking Vegeta again and again. It was clear Vegeta wasn't retaliating. Instead, he allowed the boy to vent, absorbing the hits like a mountain in a storm.
With one final upward kick, Cabba sent Vegeta into the air. Then he burst upward after him, cupping both fists above his head.
He came down with a hammer blow
BOOM!
Vegeta crashed into the ring below with such force that the entire platform cracked and rumbled.
Tap.
Cabba landed hard, panting, still surrounded by the golden glow. But his fury hadn't cooled.
"RAAAH!!!"
He lunged at Vegeta again, eyes blazing with fury, ready to strike another decisive blow.
Vegeta stood and faced him. He didn't flinch.
BOOM!
Dust erupted around them again.
When the smoke cleared, the crowd saw Cabba frozen his fist pressed firmly against Vegeta's forehead. But it didn't move further.
Vegeta stood tall, looking directly into his eyes. Calmly. Proudly.
And then… he smiled.
"A Saiyan with pride, after all. You're worth teaching."
Cabba blinked. His rage began to dissipate. His eyes widened in realization, he remembered the words, the insults, the manipulation and it all made sense.
His face shifted, his breath catching. "I… I almost wanted to kill you…"
He staggered back a few steps, stunned by his own fury.
Vegeta crossed his arms. "And that rage that's what unlocked your power. Don't forget it. That's the spirit of a Saiyan."
