Ahead of, and in celebration of Jump Festa ‘22 later this week, Dragon Ball Super illustrator Toyotaro revealed Ultra Ego Vegeta’s colors in a sketch.
One of the most anticipated news stories leading into this week comes from Toyotaro’s recent Dragon Ball official website interview. In the interview, Toyotaro revealed Ultra Ego Vegeta’s official colors and colored design will be revealed at Jump Festa ‘22.
Alongside Toyotaro, several other Dragon Ball Super and general franchise staff have published celebratory sketches of their own. It seems Toyotaro has given fans an early sneak peek, releasing sketches showcasing Ultra Ego Vegeta characters and more.

Although the official design won’t debut until Jump Festa ‘22, Toyotaro has given fans an early look at Ultra Ego Vegeta’s colors.
Alongside other various sketches drawn both by Toyotaro and others, one of Toyotaro’s sketches showcases Ultra Ego Vegeta’s colored design. The sketch shows Ultra Ego Vegeta and Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku both fighting with Granolah.
It seems Ultra Ego Vegeta’s design will consist of fully purple hair and purple eyes. While some suspected the design would be black hair with purple streaks, this is not the case. The apparent design also mirrors Toyotaro’s message in the official Dragon Ball website interview.
Toyotaro said during the interview he wanted Ultra Ego’s design to mirror Beerus in the same way the Ultra Instinct design seemingly mirrors Whis. While he did admit to not asking Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama if this parallel was intentional, Toyotaro decided to have Ultra Ego Vegeta mirror Beerus anyway.
The design motif is a fantastic choice, as whether Toriyama intended it or not there are striking similarities between MUI Goku and Whis. Having Ultra Ego Vegeta mirror Beerus also adds more fuel to the fire of the Angel/God of Destruction theory for Goku/Vegeta. The theory essentially claims that at the end of Dragon Ball Super, Goku and Vegeta will replace Whis and Beerus respectively.
Even ignoring that theory, there’s still thematic significance of having Ultra Ego Vegeta’s design mirror Beerus’. Vegeta learned Ultra Ego because it’s more fitting to his and Beerus’ style of fighting. As a result, Vegeta finally has a truly unique powerup which could seemingly and eventually make him comparable to MUI Goku.
Wrapping up
Ahead of the official design debut at the Jump Festa ‘22 Dragon Ball Super panel, series illustrator Toyotaro has released a colored sketch showcasing Ultra Ego Vegeta. While the official design is yet to debut, it seems Ultra Ego Vegeta has fully purple hair and purple eyes.
