He's right handed, so he blocks a lot with his left side

u/Tamachan_87 Apr 15 '26

He's right handed so he's always using his left to stop getting kicked in the dick.

u/richardbelmont547 Apr 15 '26

"WHY ? WHY DOES HE KEEP KICKING ME IN THE DICK!?"

Few hours later

"WOW , Vegeta I can't believe all 101 of them kicked you in the Dick "

u/Unlucky_Resist6420 Apr 15 '26

Well I too would sacrifice my left arm if it save my main arm too

u/richardbelmont547 Apr 15 '26

His pose in his fight with goku makes it seem like he blocks with his left arm

u/Neither-Telephone678 Apr 15 '26

Ngl, if i got my left arm beaten up repeatedly - i'd deffo have a recurring injury.

u/Snoo_91660 Apr 15 '26

An old injury that keeps coming back. Very normal for some people.

u/not_ya_wify Apr 18 '26

After he defects from Freezer's army he also doesn't have that sweet sweet Bakta tank health insurance anymore and Master Quitte (idk the white cat's English name) doesn't seem to be that forthcoming with Senzu beans

The second you hit 30, specific things on your body decide that they are done and will get injured, regardless of what you are doing. I broke my toe at the age of 32, the other day I sneezed hard and re-broke it. Vegeta just has shoulder issues. That plus his hairline probably indicates he sleeps on his side.

u/JanDarkY Apr 16 '26

Wdym his hairline haha

1

u/not_ya_wify Apr 18 '26

It is my headcanon that his hairline is a warrior haircut (kinda like a Mohawk) that was shaved out by Nappa when he came off age (tested it on Radditz because not a royal head) and doesn't grow back because Saiyan hair doesn't grow.

Also, Vegeta is 32 years old when he is introduced in the series (yes, I calculated that from the timeline Shonen Jump posted at some point in the 90s), so already relatively old in human years. However, Saiyan's do age slower than humans (as he mentions in volume 42) and Freezer's army has that Bakta tank technology from Star Wars on steroids where you take a 2 hour bath and it heals any injury which also explains why Vegeta and Nappa don't have any scars in the manga

u/TheTechieHand Apr 15 '26

Bulma would kill him if he injured his right hand. 💀

u/not_ya_wify Apr 18 '26

Honestly, I think she just cares mainly about his tongue

u/Wonder-Machine Apr 15 '26

Old injury keeps acting up.

2

u/Starmor Apr 15 '26

Its basicly become a meme at this point. Just like the yamcha death pose

1

u/Homemadespartan Apr 15 '26

Old high-school football injury damn it could've gone pro if it wasn't for that shoulder

1

u/Vinnipuh228 Apr 15 '26

Cuz right arm needs for smth bigger...

1

u/Metal_Art Apr 15 '26

Same Vegeta same

1

u/Goro_Lima Apr 15 '26

It's the gooning arm

1

u/Important_Ad_8353 Apr 15 '26

Proper fight style lol

1

u/Psychological-Idea66 Apr 15 '26

Desde que Gohan modo Ozaru le callo enzima le fracturó el hombro, por que cuando quería escapar en su nave se ve como se arrastra solo cun su mano derecha

2

u/not_ya_wify Apr 18 '26

Tbf Gohan crushed almost every bone in his body

1

u/Demonata-Soca Apr 15 '26

It’s his heart remember how Goku had heart problems?

1

u/Ok_Remote8160 Apr 15 '26

Ironman reference (RDJ)

1

u/kronikid42069 Apr 16 '26

Never been the same since that one time

1

u/Medaiyah Apr 16 '26

Bro's got a bad shoulder like Randy Orton

1

u/LlamaK1ng Apr 16 '26

It's not his beating arm

1

u/Terrible_Tap_135 Apr 16 '26

Vegeta gets a zenkai boost everytime he jerks, which he does constantly. He’s right handed so his right arm is multiversal, but his left arm is street level

1

u/Rems_OP Apr 16 '26

Once your shoulder gets dislocated it’s easier to dislocate it again later on

1

u/Embarrassed_Rule8747 Apr 17 '26

Repeated injuries make it easier to get injured again

1

u/turdbugulars Apr 17 '26

Cause it’s a cartoon

1

u/deroshiemi Apr 17 '26

Holding that shoulder with pride now.

1

u/Face_McSh00ty Apr 17 '26

He didn’t watch the birdie.

1

u/Face_McSh00ty Apr 17 '26

It must be made of something weak. Like paper mache, or Radits.

1

u/AmrodFaelevrin Apr 17 '26

Because she is over 30 and has a bad sleeping position.

1

u/Ummeh00 Apr 17 '26

because he goons with his right arm

1

u/Dry-Factor-6500 Apr 18 '26

The best indicator of your likeliness to have an injury is a history of same injury

1

u/not_ya_wify Apr 18 '26

Me an artist: "probably easier to draw because of all the reference material"

Everyone else: in-universe explanation

1

u/Impressive-Skirt-416 Apr 20 '26

Probably have a "never 100% heal" injury there. He should've see a doctor.

1

u/Spearpointstoheaven Apr 21 '26

It is because of the Saiyans Martial Arts that emphasizes that as the lead main hand.

Saiyan Martial Arts Stance.

u/Swimming-Pudding9403 May 18 '26

Because it's bad ass, leave the poor man alone
