Dragon Ball Super Artwork Finally Teases the Face of Vegeta's Mother
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
New Dragon Ball Super artwork by Toyotarou finally offers fans a first glimpse at Vegeta's mother, hidden in plain sight behind King Vegeta's cape.
Polygon reports that Dragon Ball has found a way to surprise fans even as the franchise approaches its forty-second anniversary. New celebratory artwork from manga artist Toyotarou features a special family reflection illustration for volume nineteen, mirroring previous pieces that highlighted Goku and Gohan with their respective parents. This time, the focus shifts to the Saiyan prince.
The new sketch shows Vegeta alongside King Vegeta and his brother Tarble, but a cape-obscured figure standing alongside the King has everyone talking. While Toyotarou playfully claimed he had no idea who the mysterious character was and aimed to preserve the secrecy, the thematic pairing makes the identity obvious. Given that Gine and Chi-Chi appeared alongside their partners in earlier companion pieces, this hidden figure is unquestionably Vegeta's long-lost mother.
While the character remains unnamed and largely out of view, the tease offers a tiny glimpse of her crown and hairline. Hardcore fans know she was the Queen of the Saiyans before Frieza obliterated Planet Vegeta, though in a universe where characters routinely return from apparent doom, her permanent status remains open to interpretation. As the community waits for the manga to return following Akira Toriyama's passing, little treats like this keep the social momentum of the fandom alive across platforms.
