Goku’s Next Journey expands on the importance of fighting and intense battles in Dragon Ball, demonstrated through boss battles and training sessions. The optional post-game fight with Vegeta is a standout example of this, offering a satisfying conclusion to the game.
While Goku and Vegeta are known for their rivalry, they had limited battles in the original series. This DLC provides a compelling showdown, showcasing their respective strengths.
The battle also challenges the perception of Goku’s superiority over Vegeta, presenting them as equals. The fight ends without a clear winner, reflecting their evolved characters and mutual respect.
The rematch between Goku and Vegeta captures the essence of their relationship and motivations, without relying on power-ups like Super Saiyan God or Ultra Instinct. It is a well-crafted and satisfying conclusion to Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
