When He Decided To Use Final Explosion Against Majin Buu (Vegeta Was Wrong)
Vegeta attacked Majin Buu with an arsenal of moves that left the warrior wounded and trying to heal.

Despite being worn out from the battle, Vegeta’s quick thinking actually helped him to win the bout against Toppo as his Final Explosion overwhelmed Toppo’s Sphere of Destruction and knocked him out of the arena.
