Vegeta's Mom Revealed

The Dragon Ball Super Vol. 19 alternate cover has given fans a glimpse of a mysterious figure, believed to be Vegeta's mother, who has never been seen before in the series. The character's identity is not explicitly confirmed, but the context and composition of the artwork suggest it is indeed Vegeta's mother.

The new artwork, drawn by Toyotarou, shows Vegeta and his family, including King Vegeta, Vegeta, Tarble, and the mysterious figure obscured by King Vegeta's cape. The figure is only partially visible, with only the top of their hairline and part of their outfit visible, including what appears to be a crown.

The artwork was created to celebrate the cover's win in a poll on the Dragon Ball official site, where fans voted for their favorite Dragon Ball Super manga cover. The winning cover, volume 19, shows Goku walking with his family while his parents, Bardock and Gine, are reflected in a puddle.

Vegeta's mother, who was the Queen of the Saiyans until Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, has been a long-awaited character in the series. Despite being a significant figure in Vegeta's backstory, she has never been seen or named in the series.

## Why it matters The reveal of Vegeta's mother, even if only partially, is significant for the Dragon Ball series, which is now 42 years old. The franchise has been on hiatus since Akira Toriyama's passing in 2024, but the new artwork gives fans a glimpse into the series' rich history and characters. The fact that Vegeta's mother has been kept secret for so long adds to the excitement and intrigue surrounding her character.

The Dragon Ball series has a long history of introducing new characters and storylines, and the reveal of Vegeta's mother is a testament to the franchise's ability to still surprise and delight fans. With the series' rich history and loyal fan base, the introduction of new characters and storylines is always highly anticipated and closely watched.
