Turn Your Anger into Strength! Vegeta's Full-Bore Battle

Piccolo advises Vegeta to stay cautious, but the Saiyan prince has no interest in a drawn-out fight. When the match begins, Frost charges with his needle ready and all restrictions lifted, but Vegeta transforms into Super Saiyan and sends him flying out of the barrier with a single devastating blow. The match is over in seconds.

With Frost exposed as a fraud, Beerus examines Goku and finds the puncture wound from the poison needle, reinstating him into the tournament. Meanwhile, Frost attempts to steal Champa's Cube and the promised treasure, hoping neither the gods nor the Galactic Patrol could pursue him in it. Hit intercepts him effortlessly, knocking him unconscious and carrying him back to the tournament grounds without a word.

Auta Magetta, a Metalman from Galactic System 66950, enters the ring next. He drinks lava to power up, and the fight begins. Vegeta's speed gives him the early advantage, but Magetta's metallic body absorbs every blow. As the Metalman generates increasingly intense heat, the sealed barrier around the ring traps the rising temperature and depletes the oxygen. Vegeta's stamina starts draining fast. Magetta counters Vegeta's Lucora Gun with lava spit, and the Saiyan prince finds himself fighting on two fronts: his opponent and the environment itself.

The Frost fight is a statement of raw superiority. Vegeta does not need strategy or caution; he simply hits harder than Frost can survive. It is a deliberate contrast to Goku's and Piccolo's more drawn-out encounters with the same opponent and underscores the difference in how each fighter approaches combat.

The Magetta fight is the opposite: a war of attrition that neutralizes Vegeta's greatest strengths. His speed means nothing if every strike bounces off metal, and his pride keeps him from retreating or asking for help as the temperature climbs. The sealed barrier transforms a straightforward power matchup into a survival scenario, which is far more interesting to watch than another exchange of energy blasts.

Hit's interception of Frost's escape attempt is a quietly significant moment. The legendary assassin does not act on orders; he acts because Frost violated the unspoken code of the competition. This brief encounter establishes Hit as someone with principles, not just a hired killer. Vados watches the whole thing unfold and deliberately chooses not to intervene, suggesting she approves. Auta Magetta's introduction adds a new combat type to the tournament. Metalmen are not fighters in the traditional sense; they are living furnaces whose threat comes from endurance and environmental manipulation.
