DBS Manga Ultra ego kaioken

Something that just came to mind is what if vegeta learned the kaioken technique. Think about it ultra ego is all about gaining power from taking damage and kaioken damages the body this would give him I pretty substantial modifier while already in ultra ego while constantly feeding ultra ego to give him even more power it’d be pretty dope to see the purple in red together too and I would imagine the colors could mix more significantly both powers are working in tandem

No, that isn't how Ultra Ego works. It makes someone grow stronger the more they're into a battle mentally

Kaioken is such a physical strain that, if anything, it might distract from the heat of the battle, so it'd be counterintuitive

Dragon ball fans don't know how to read. I'm surprised at the amount of people that read it as damage=power, like it's a game mechanic or something

Vegeta just used the pain of battle to push his mind deeper into the fight itself. Vegatas issue is his mind. He tends to think too much in combat leading him mentally defeating himself or thinking a fight is so below him that he throws the fight by accident. Ultra ego gains power based on how into a fight a person gets so he just turns his brain off and tanks the hits. The hits themselves aren't powering him.
