Part 2/7:
The episode's climax centers on Vegeta's transformation into Super Saiyan 3, a moment that fans have long awaited. Moreover, this transformation is not merely about power; it symbolizes a significant shift in the character's narrative arc. Throughout the previous series, Vegeta was often portrayed as incapable of harnessing this form, a narrative reinforced during the Dragon Ball Z era. Historically, these transformations often carried the weight of expectation and limitation, seen most clearly in Goku's first use of Super Saiyan 3 during his battle with Majin Buu.
