Dragon Ball Cosplay Shows Off the Might of Baby Vegeta

Dragon Ball GT might not be considered one of the best stories in the history of the Shonen franchise created by Akira Toriyama, but there are certain elements that still persist even with the outside of continuity series coming to an end years ago. Now, one cosplayer has brought back one of the biggest villains of the Grand Tour in Baby Vegeta, the antagonist that helped in introducing Super Saiyan 4 to the Z-Fighters.         

Baby originated from an alien race known as the Truffles, who were destroyed thanks in part to the murderous reign of the Saiyans while under the control of Frieza. With the Truffles going extinct, a contingency plan was created to get revenge on the Saiyans in the form of Baby, a biological experiment in a similar vein as Dr. Gero’s Cell who wasn’t as powerful on his own but could take over the bodies of powerful warriors to use in combat. Landing squarely in the body of Vegeta, Baby Vegeta was born and helped usher in a wild new era in “helping” Son Goku achieve the transformation of Super Saiyan 4. 

Instagram Cosplayer Matt Love Cosplay shared this return to Dragon Ball GT with, arguably, the most recognizable villain of the sequel series that is no longer considered canon but has created plenty of unique villains for the Shonen franchise:

While Dragon Ball GT might not be creating new stories, several elements of the sequel series have made appearances in Super Dragon Ball Heroes, the non-canon spin-off story that is still releasing new episodes to this day. With the recent arc of the series, the Ultra God Mission, once again bringing back the Son Goku of the Time Patrol, so too has the spin-off brought back Super Saiyan 4 into the new tournament. With the latest story bringing back the likes of Future Gohan, Cooler, and more, it will be interesting to see what other characters from the Shonen franchise will make a comeback.
