Regardless, making bad guys become good guys with the power of love and friendship is one of the most common tropes in kids shows ever. I don't know anything about Steven Universe and almost as little about DBZ. From what I do remember, wasn't Vegeta and Frieza's army intergalactic conquerors?
Vegeta literally committed genocide in a filler episode, and even after mellowing out there's the scene in the Buu saga where he blows up half a stadium and kills hundreds of people to prove a point.
