Vegeta has a brother in Dragon Ball that hardly anyone knew about

earthpressnews

Over the course of Dragon Ball, Vegeta develops from arch enemy to loving family man. What many people didn’t know is that he even has a little brother who has his own family.

Who is the little brother? Vegeta’s younger brother is named Tarble. He is even smaller than Vegeta and comes from the same planet. His personality is atypical for a Saiyan, as he is courteous, polite and caring for those around him.

Unlike the Saiyans on Earth, Tarble still has his monkey tail. This allows him to transform into a large ape. Toriyama, the mangaka of Dragon Ball, explained why the Saiyans on Earth no longer have him.

Tarble also has a wife named Gure. She introduces herself to her brother-in-law Vegeta in the OVA. Gure comes from an alien race and is just as polite as Tarble. The two have known each other since childhood and make a wonderful couple.

Tarble is mentioned, among other things, in the film Battle of the Gods. The trailer for the film is available here:

Tarble makes few appearances because he was banished

Where does he appear? Tarble makes his first major appearance in the Japan-exclusive OVA Dragon Ball: Yo! The Return of Goku and Friends”. This is a single episode that was intended to bridge a dry spell of around 10 years in the anime. She plays after defeating Kid Boo.

Tarble’s homeland is under attack by two remaining soldiers of the Freeza army. Since he is too weak to fight off the attackers, he travels to Earth in a Saiyan space capsule and asks his brother Vegeta for help.

Otherwise there are other appearances by Tarble:

  • In the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods, Bulma mentions her brother-in-law when it comes to finding a sixth Saiyan for the Super Saiyan God ritual. But Vegeta doesn’t know where he is and doesn’t have a phone number.
  • In the prologue of the film Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Nappa, also a Saiyan, wonders whether Tarble managed to escape the destruction of the Saiyan homeland. Vegeta doesn’t care what happened to his brother.
  • Tarble also appears in video games such as Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 and Dragon Ball Heroes.

    • Why isn’t he in the anime? When he was little, the Saiyan stood out for his gentle nature. This doesn’t fit at all with the principles of the Saiyans, who are known for their aggressive nature. Therefore, his father, King Vegeta, banished the young Tarble to a distant planet.

    Accordingly, Tarble did not have contact with the other Saiyans. That’s why he doesn’t play a big role in the anime either. But it could be that after making contact in the OVA, Tarble might appear again in the future. At least he now knows where Vegeta is.

    Thanks to the monkey tail that Tarble still has, it is possible to become a quadruple Super Saiyan. The SSJ4 that appears in the anime was not created by creator Toriyama. But he also drew his own version of the form: Dragon Ball Daima: The creator draws his own version of Super Saiyan 4 and drives the fans crazy
