For the last little while, Vegeta has seemingly been 1 step ahead of Goku, until now. Hopefully they do not immediately start shitting on him.
a) Vegeta achieved SSJG through training.
b) Vegeta saw through Golden Freeza's handicap long before Goku did.
c) Vegeta was able to break his own limits before undergoing training with Whiss, he grew so strong that he caught the attention of Whiss, whereas Goku was unable to grow any stronger since the Boo Saga.
I've respected his character more for some of the things that he has recently accomplished, but he got a major ass whooping this last round. And it seems that we have received another dosage of that Goku wank, that Toei is so fond of showing us.
