Dragon Ball Super Manga Chapter 40
Vegeta steps forward alone, pride burning brighter than his fading strength. He knows he cannot win against the Gray warrior, and he steps forward anyway. Every blow he absorbs buys precious seconds for Goku, and he spends himself gladly. This is what it has always meant to be the prince of all Saiyans.
Beyond the arena, Bulma watches with her hands pressed to her mouth. She has seen this pride destroy him before, but today it shields everyone. Trunks stares wide-eyed, memorizing every second of his father’s stand. Long after the bruises fade, this is the Vegeta they will remember.
