An Anti Hero is basically a good guy who is kinda bad, or does good things for bad reasons. Deadpool's a classic example of an Anti Hero

Vegeta embodies the rage that all of us feel and has one of the best character arcs of all time IMO.

he had his entire life stolen from him by the monster that took him in, not out of pittance, but out of a sick sense of entertainment.

he then spent the next 20-ish years trying to become stronger to complete his desire for vengeance, and even then he wasn't enough.

he literally had everything stolen from him. beaten from him. was mocked relentlessly because of who and what he is. they took everything but one thing. That one thing that could never be taken from him. His pride.

I learned so much about myself as a person as I watched his character develop. I keep a figure of him on my desk to remind myself of how far I have come and to protect my pride.

he is, by far, one of the most influential characters in my entire life.

Add the fact that he becomes a decent family man and you have one heck of an arc.

There's a hilarious canon scene where Vegeta proves to be a better dad than Goku (granted that doesn't take much)

yeah...Goku really is a piece of shit dad.
