But don't you find some interesting things there? Here's what cought my attension the most:
- = Goku:
- Although he is the main protagonist, at some points in the series, Goku is surpassed in strength by Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo and several others.
- In the Pokemon anime series the character Morrison is voiced by Goku's voice actors, Masako Nozawa in the japanese dub and Sean Schemell in the English dub.
- Goku was never the first to fight any of the 3 main villains in Dragon Ball Z. Vegeta fought Frieza first, Piccolo fought Cell and Gohan fought Buu.
=Vegeta:
- Kazuya Mishima of the Tekken series looks similar to Vegeta and his attitude is also quite similar to Vegeta's. In the animated Tekken movie Kazuya's hair looks exactly the same as Vegeta's.
- Vegeta is usually the main cause of the main villain transformations. First when he urged Frieza to transform so that he may see it, second when he let Cell absorb Android 18, and finally when he pulled Majin Buu's pod out of Super Buu in belief that he may become weaker.
=Freeza:
- After Frieza is defeated by Goku and injured when Planet Namek explodes, he is salvaged by his allies and is given cybernetic attachments to repair his injuries, and returns to seek revenge. The Same thing happened to "Darth Vader" in "Star Wars".
- The fight between Goku and Frieza was the longest in Dragon Ball Z anime, at 19 episodes.
- Frieza' third form vaguely resembles a Xenomorph from the Alien film series, particularly in skull structure. (In addition, Cooler's final form vaguely resembles a Predator.)
=Kuririn:
- Krillin Breaks the fourth wall in Broly: the second coming by saying "None of you would have lasted a season without me!"
- Krillin is the only person to come face to face with every form of each main villain (If filler counts) in Dragon Ball Z, he was there when Vegeta first came, he went back to help Goku and saw his Oozaru form.
He was there for all 4 of Frieza's forms (Unless one counts 100% final form as a different form), he tried to fight all forms of Cell, He saw both of Garlic Jr's forms. And was there at the relese of Fat Majin Buu, tried to fight Super Buu and in filler, tried to fight Kid Buu.
=Cell:
- Cell, despite not being the last villain in the show, is often the final boss in Dragon Ball Z video games such as Budokai, Sagas, Burst Limit, and Super Dragon Ball Z.
- Out of the three main villains, Cell is the only one who doesn't kill Krillin (ironically, one of his other selves is killed by Krillin), and the only one who is killed in a beam struggle. He is also the only one of the three to not be bitten by Goku (Goku bites Frieza's tail and Kid Buu's head).
=Mr. Satan:
- He and Bee are the only characters who didn't die in the whole series excluding GT, where it is implied that everyone died, except Pan (who is very old at that time).
- Ironically, Mr. Satan gets himself into far more dangerous situations than anyone in the series yet he always come out alive unlike most of the other characters despite being one of the weakest of the Z-Fighters, if not the weakest. Typically, it's his bond with the fat Majin Buu that allows for him to come through, against both the Super and original forms of Buu.
However, it is to be noted that despite the Buu in question having merged with the same Uub (or Majuub) who was out of the count at the time, he manages to survive a kick from Omega Shenron, which even the strongest of the human Z-Fighters should logically be unable to do.
This occurs in a similar fashion to Kid Buu's punch to Satan's nose merely doing enough harm for him to shout in pain.
=Piccolo:
- According to Toriyama, Piccolo was originally going to fall under Babidi's spell but his editor decided that Vegeta would be a better choice to use in the story since fans would like to see Goku and Vegeta fight again. (reference needed)
- It is interesting to note that, while he only actually dies three times in the Dragon Ball anime series, he comes close to death a number of times.
The first is when Frieza shoots a Death Beam through his chest before killing Krillin (though, he was fairly injured by Frieza's "Crazy Finger Beam" assault before, only to be healed by Dende).
The second is when Kami is weakened by the former guardians during the Garlic Jr. Saga, and Kami is almost killed, which would kill Piccolo Jr. as well.
The third is when Cell breaks Piccolo Jr.'s neck, shoots a hole clean through his stomach, and throws him into the lake.
The fourth is when he is turned to stone by King Dabura during the Babidi Saga, and accidentally shattered to pieces by Kid Trunks later in the Majin Buu Saga.
He is able to regenerate because his Namekian heritage allows him to recover from any injury as long as his head remains intact (much the same way that Cell, who inherited this ability from his cells, can regenerate so long as his core is untouched).
Also, he was badly beaten after a long, hard fight against Goku in the final round of the 23rd World Tournament at the end of the Piccolo Jr. Saga, but Goku allows him to have a Senzu Bean after he ate his own, so that Piccolo may live (contrary to Kami's intention of killing him and himself in order to protect the Earth, one that would thereby deactivate the Dragon Balls).
- Coincidentally, Piccolo and Zoro were seen together during Cross Epoch and they both have the same FUNimation dub voice actor, Christopher R. Sabat.
Ironically, Zoro and Piccolo appear together again in the One Piece and Dragon Ball Kai "Dream 9" promo, yelling that people should watch One Piece after Kai airs.
=Burdock:
- It is unknown if Bardock was a veteran of the Saiyan-Tuffle war, as his exact age was never given. However, he appears to be around the same age as King Vegeta, so it is plausible that he may have battled in the war, which took place from 720 Age to about 730 Age.
- It should also be mentioned that Bardock was the first anime character to be included in the manga a rare phenomenon even today.
=Gyumaoh:
-In an episode of the Androids Saga, Ox-King seems to call Fortuneteller Baba his mother.
In the Dragon Ball anime, Fortuneteller Baba displays a motherly panic during the flaming castle event after believing he's been killed. If this is true, then the old fortune-teller is Chi-Chi's grandmother, Gohan and Goten's great grandmother, and Pan's great-great grandmother.
However, it is very likely that he was using a respectful Japanese term for an elder woman which can be construed as "Mother" or "Grandmother". Though, this may be why Fortuneteller Baba has been helping Goku a lot through the Buu era.
And it may also explain the Family's long age expectancy, for example, Ox-King remains alive throughout GT while Bulma's parents seemingly don't, and Pan is still alive at the end of GT being over 100 years old. Although Pan's long life might be a result of having Saiyan genes, being related to Fortuneteller Baba not being a major factor even if they really are related.
If Baba is Ox-King's Mother, then Master Roshi is Ox-King's uncle, Chi-Chi's Great-uncle and so on.
This also means that Goku could be related to his sensei, Roshi.
=Grandpa Gohan:
- Grandpa Gohan apparently had an appetite similar to Goku's. In Dress in Flames Ox King comments Goku shares his grandfather's fierce appetite, though since it would later be revealed Goku was a Saiyan this is just a coincidence.
=Maron:
- Maron has the largest cleavage in the the entire series.
