The deciding call

Why Vegeta gets the edge

Vegeta wins through overwhelming power and speed advantage. Sasuke is an incredible ninja with versatile hax abilities, but Dragon Ball's power scaling is on a completely different level than Naruto's. Vegeta in Ultra Ego can tank planet-destroying attacks and only get stronger. Sasuke's best chance is genjutsu, but Vegeta's willpower has overcome mental control before.

Matchup context, every pressure point and the strongest counter-case.

Matchup context

Sasuke Uchiha at his peak wields the Rinnegan, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and a mastery of virtually every ninja technique. His Susanoo provides a building-sized chakra avatar, Amaterasu creates inextinguishable black flames, and his Rinnegan's space-time abilities let him teleport and swap places with objects. He fought Naruto — a character with planet-level feats — to a standstill. In the Naruto universe, Sasuke is an omega-level threat.

Battle factor 01

Vegeta, however, operates in Dragon Ball's absurd power tier. Even in his base form, Saiyan Saga Vegeta could destroy planets. By the time he achieves Ultra Ego, Vegeta is fighting at universal-to-multiversal levels, taking hits that would erase solar systems and getting stronger from the damage. His ki blasts dwarf anything in the Naruto universe by orders of magnitude.

Battle factor 02

Sasuke's genjutsu — his strongest hax ability — is the biggest wildcard. If Sharingan genjutsu works on Vegeta, Sasuke could theoretically trap him in an illusion and finish the fight. However, Dragon Ball characters have resisted mind control through sheer ki pressure, and Vegeta's pride and Saiyan willpower have broken him free from Babidi's mind control in the past.

Battle factor 03

The speed differential is also massive. Dragon Ball characters are explicitly faster-than-light by the Namek saga, and Vegeta in his current forms moves at speeds that make Naruto-verse combat look like slow motion. Sasuke's Rinnegan teleportation helps, but Vegeta's raw speed likely exceeds Sasuke's reaction time.

Strongest case for each side

The case for

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke's Rinnegan grants space-time manipulation, Amaterasu burns anything it touches, and his Susanoo provides devastating offense and defense simultaneously. Genjutsu could theoretically bypass Vegeta's physical advantages entirely by trapping him in an illusion. Sasuke's tactical genius and versatility give him more combat options than almost any Dragon Ball character.

The case for

Vegeta

Vegeta's power tier is universal-to-multiversal, dwarfing anything in the Naruto universe. Ultra Ego makes him stronger with every hit he takes, his ki blasts can destroy planets in base form, and his speed exceeds anything Sasuke has faced. Vegeta has broken free from mind control through pure willpower before, potentially countering genjutsu. The raw power gap is simply too enormous.
