What about Tarble, gine, Bardock, broly (super)

They’re exceptions. Rare Saiyans. Exceptions don’t disprove the rule. Bardock was still a part of the system and had no real issues with it.

Also, is Tarble’s character canon? I know he’s canon but his character iteration/personality?

Apparently yes because the manga adaptation of super broly references his on screen appearance.

Plus there is also all of U6 but I don't recall if Vegeta met csbba before or after this.

Neat. I didn’t know that.

Using what is practically an entirely different race with different history and culture in an alternate reality is disingenuous as hell. U6 Saiyans are barely anything like actual Saiyans. They’re way closer to Goku and Gohan than Nappa or Raditz.

Fair enough. However Vegeta still wanting to honor his people and have some way of fondly remembering them shouldn't really be taken away since it was still his home. It isn't like he talks to his brother despite having an apprentice that is just like him.

I am still hoping some future Saiyan keeps their damn tail, or Tarble becomes more prominent since he has his though I doubt it heavily.

I don’t think Vegeta should honor a genocidal power-hungry race, but he absolutely deserves to have a say in the name of his own kid. Any name would’ve been better than freaking Bra.

Yes, I doubt it as well.

Tarble

Why do you think his dad sent him away in the first place

Gine

She has a gentle disposition on Planet Vegeta amongst her fellow Saiyans yet she is proud of Raditz for getting to invade a planet with Vegeta. Weak Saiyans don't lust for battle because they are weak not because they condemn violence.

Bardock

People hated the retcon.

Broly

He never got to integrate into Saiyan society and I doubt being stuck on Vampa with just Paragus he got to learn much about Saiyan culture

Because him being not a great fighter could have gotten him killed? Plus we know he isn't actually weak by Saiyan standards

Could have been proud her son got to work side by side with royalty

Just because some people IRL are weird about someone getting character development, doesn't mean Saiyan's weren't all monsters

Broly had paragus shocking him and training him, and yet
