Fans were piqued when the trailer for "Dragon Ball Super" Episode 37 was released. Featuring the battle between Saiyan Prince Vegeta and Universe 6's Cabba, the trailer depicted a pretty intense showdown culminating in Vegeta turning into "Super Saiyan Blue."
Well, the episode has aired, and it certainly did not disappoint.
For one, when Vegeta transformed, the series finally cleared up the moniker of the newest Super Saiyan form. Previously dubbed as the "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan" (yes, the name is indeed redundant), the form is now called simply as Super Saiyan Blue.
Apart from clearing up the name of the new Super Saiyan form, the new episode also featured a side of Vegeta that has not been seen in a fairly long time.
The Saiyan Prince's fight against Cabba started off as a fairly one-sided match, with Vegeta being his usual cocky self and almost underestimating the young Saiyan. After receiving a clean punch in the gut, however, Vegeta warms up and punishes the young Saiyan. Even after firing his Galick Gun attack, the young Saiyan still was unable to put a dent in the veteran Saiyan Prince.
It was then that Vegeta turned a little dark.
Egging on the young Saiyan to turn into a Super Saiyan, Vegeta began to provoke Cabba. Despite Cabba insisting that he does not know what a Super Saiyan is, Vegeta proved very stubborn, beating the youngster so bad that his wife, Bulma, ended up feeling like he was being too hard on the young Saiyan.
Proving resilient despite the veteran's brutal assault, Cabba nonetheless stayed in the fact. Vegeta, for his part, began to feel that the young Saiyan was not trying hard enough. Responding to Cabba's attitude, Vegeta decided to do something very classic - he threatened to destroy the young Saiyan's home planet.
Regardless of how much fans have qualms about "Dragon Ball Super," one cannot deny that Vegeta's antics in this episode, especially when threatening mass murder, were oddly satisfying. After all, Vegeta started off as a villain before becoming Goku's best friend. Of course, when he was portrayed as a villain, Vegeta was certainly one of the most nefarious.
Thankfully, Vegeta did not have to destroy Cabba's home, as the young Saiyan eventually transformed into a Super Saiyan, putting the veteran on the defensive. Being the ever arrogant, yet strangely likable, Vegeta, however, the Saiyan Prince eventually decided that he's had enough, transforming into a Super Saiyan Blue and punching the lights out of the upstart Cabba. With that, Vegeta won the match.
With the final match against Hit from Universe 6 approaching, Vegeta's win in this episode is extremely important. For one, it has given Hit an idea about the power level of Earth's Saiyans.
Though it is widely expected that Goku would be the one to deal the final blow against Hit, his upcoming match against the Saiyan Prince is one that is certainly not to be missed.
