The Prince’s Forbidden Power: 5 Shocking Facts About Vegeta SSJ3 In Dragon Ball Raging Blast
Contents
The Non-Canon History of Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta
The Super Saiyan 3 transformation for Vegeta is a non-canon form, meaning it does not exist within the official continuity of the *Dragon Ball Z* or *Dragon Ball Super* manga and anime. Despite this, its inclusion in the *Raging Blast* games cemented its place in the franchise’s extended lore and paved the way for its later, more widespread use in other media like *Dragon Ball Heroes*. The debut of SSJ3 Vegeta in *Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast* (2009) and its sequel, *Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2* (2010), was a monumental event for players. It was the ultimate "What-If" scenario, giving Vegeta the long, flowing golden hair and intense power surge characteristic of the form, without the need for fusion or a rigorous training montage shown on screen. The form was a direct response to years of fan speculation about whether Vegeta could skip SSJ3 entirely, or if he simply chose not to use it. The form’s existence in the game is a testament to the developers' willingness to push the boundaries of the established *Dragon Ball* universe. It showcased a version of Vegeta who, driven by his eternal rivalry with Goku, could theoretically achieve the form if he ever felt the need to.The Ultimate Power: Why SSJ3 Vegeta is "Broken" in Raging Blast 2
In the competitive meta of *Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2*, Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta is often cited by players as one of the most powerful and, arguably, "broken" characters in the roster. This perceived imbalance stems from several key factors that make his moveset devastatingly effective. * High Damage Output: The SSJ3 transformation grants a massive boost to both basic attacks and Ki-based special moves. Vegeta's signature attacks, such as the Final Flash and Galick Gun, are amplified to extreme levels, capable of depleting an opponent’s health bar rapidly. * Unique Combos and Rush Attacks: Vegeta’s SSJ3 form features unique rush attack combos that are fast, difficult to block, and excellent for cornering opponents. His ability to string together powerful melee attacks with Ki blasts makes him a versatile and unpredictable threat. * The Big Bang Attack: His ultimate attack, often a variation of the Big Bang Attack or a similar high-power Ki blast, is executed with terrifying speed and force in this form. Many players use SSJ3 Vegeta to clear the game's toughest challenges, including the Super Saiyan 3 Goku Ultimate Zone, a testament to his sheer, overwhelming power within the game’s mechanics. This high power level makes him a top-tier choice for both casual and competitive play.How to Unlock Vegeta SSJ3: A Step-by-Step Guide

The inclusion of SSJ3 Vegeta is a highlight of the *Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast* series, but it is not the only non-canon form that captivated fans. The games are famous for their embrace of What-If transformations and characters, which significantly boosted their appeal.
