What are Vegeta’s best quotes? This ranked selection focuses on lines that are memorable, reveal something important about his character, or carry extra weight in the scene where he says them. It is an editorial ranking, not an official poll. Because wording can vary between manga translations, subtitles, and English dubs, each entry identifies the version used; check the licensed edition or episode for exact wording before quoting or sharing a line.
10 best Vegeta quotes, ranked
The order below weighs recognizability, significance to Vegeta’s character arc, scene context, and how clearly the English wording can be tied to a version.

“I am the prince of all Saiyans!”
Version: English dub wording; confirm against the licensed episode before use. Context: Vegeta invokes his royal heritage while facing an opponent who challenges his strength. The boast captures his early belief that birthright and power should put him above everyone else.
-
“It’s over 9,000!”
Version: English dub, with wording and number famously differing from the Japanese version. Context: During the Saiyan saga, Vegeta reacts to the scouter reading for Goku’s power. The line’s fame rests partly on its explosive delivery and later pop-culture life, even though it is spoken by Nappa in the scene rather than Vegeta.

Which English version should you quote?
There is no single English wording that covers every Dragon Ball release. Manga translations, subtitles, and dubbed episodes can phrase the same moment differently. If precision matters, name the medium and edition or episode, and check the line in that licensed source rather than relying on a quote compilation or remembered wording.
VIZ’s official catalog provides a publication reference for the U.S. manga, including Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and the Dragon Ball Super series. VIZ lists Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 18 as a 192-page Shonen Jump manga by Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou, released June 6, 2023; that page is publication context, not verification of any quote above.
What is Vegeta’s most famous quote?
“It’s over 9,000!” is perhaps the best-known phrase associated with Vegeta, but in the English dub scene it is Nappa who says it after Vegeta reads Goku’s scouter level. That distinction matters: a phrase can become inseparable from a character in popular memory without being spoken by that character in the scene.
