Lyrics
A real monster Trunks, Bulma I do this for you You know it's true And yes Even for you Kakarot Kakarot And so! One of Earth's Greatest warriors Has vanished in a blinding flash of life Having made the ultimate sacrifice For the sake of his loved ones His name was Vegeta His name was Vegeta His name was Vegeta A proud Saiyan prince (Wait. Ok. Keep me going.) Looks like the end of the Ro-oh-oh-d Majin Buu I could sense good in you You're just a naughty child A playful naughty child Na-na-na-naughty child And it's a darn shame Now you are dying I wanna spar with you I will wait you-who-who I will wait for I will wait for I will wait for you!
Content
Track nine on Dragon Ball $d, feat. Nick Belcher. Luke wrote, played, mixed, and mastered; Belcher's third and final feature, and the longest track on the album (~3:28). Same Phineas and Ferb belter, two saga endings in one medley.
Part one is Vegeta's Final Explosion: a goodbye to Trunks, Bulma, and even for you, Kakarot, capped by a narrator eulogy that repeats his name was Vegeta into the ground. It bookends Prince of All Saiyans. Then the track refuses to stop at the funeral. A stage direction (Wait. Ok. Keep me going.) hands it to part two, where Goku reframes the monster as a kid worth pitying (you're just a naughty child) and signs off on the Uub setup: I will wait for you. Death, then patience. Opera grief and cartoon tenderness in one slot.
Next: Party at Capsule Corp. (Nah Nah Nah), where Babidi & Gokudaxij return once the arc ends.
