VGM of the Day #4: Vegeta's Sacrifice



"I know now what I must do! I'm going to destroy you, and scatter the ashes to the wind! I do this for Trunks, Bulma, and yes, even for you, Kakarot..."

Man, those were the days back then. You get home from school, play a few games, and before you know it Pokemon is on, followed by Toonami with some more anime. I'd get all emotionally attached to the characters and what was happening around them, and for two hours it was like I was in my own little world, nothing mattered in real life anymore. That's kinda how this song makes me feel; it makes me want to reminisce and reflect on what I've done in my life.

Kenji Yamamoto did a splendid job of creating a piece that's sad, but not too sad. Even though this song is used during perhaps the most depressing part of the game (in which Vegeta blows himself up in hopes of destroying Majin Buu once and for all), it's almost cheerful at the same time, in that Vegeta finally did something out of the kindness of his heart, and fought for somebody other than himself. I think this song does a great job of expressing that mix of emotions.

The Verdict: In my opinion, the best song in the game. Perfect for the situation, and well put together.

What do you think about this song? Leave your opinion in the comments!
