But only in the anime, right?
Yeah. In the manga Vegeta intercepts Trunks as soon as he's about to fight Cell. In the anime Trunks fights him some more after getting rid of Vegeta, but in the manga Cell uses Taiyo-ken immediately and absorbs #18.
Under construction.

- 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
First one is actually really interesting actually, I never thought about it before.

Second one, while ignoring Vegeta, is still pretty hysterical :D Judging villiand by Krillian Owned counts, wow.

Movie 9 is really special:
  • 0- This is the last movie to feature Piccolo or Yamcha until Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, and is the last film where Tenshinhan and Chaozu appear.
    0- This is the last time that Future Trunks appears.
    0- This is the only time Mr.Satan makes a costume change.
    0- This is the last time a main villain has a clear speaking role in a film.
    0- This was the last movie for voice actor of Muten Roshi (Kōhei Miyauchi), who died 2 years later.
    0- This is also the last movie where the primary villain has henchmen.
    0- This is the first movie where the villain is killed by Gohan. Garlic Jr., who was also defeated by Gohan in Dead Zone, was not killed but sealed in a alternate dimension.
    0- This is the first movie where the main villain is killed by a Kamehameha. All previous ones were killed by Genki Damas. Cooler wasn't killed until his sequel, Clash!! 10,000,000,000 Powerful Warriors.
    0- This is the first movie where Goku breaks the rules by teleporting to Earth to help Gohan.
    0- This is the first movie where Goku is dead; this will stay the same for the next three movies.

Uranai Baba doesn't die at any point as well. She may have died in the 100 year gap but I doubt it considering Kame Sennin is supposedly alive after this point.

Metal Coola wasn't killed by a Genki-Dama.

It doesn't say it's the first Dragon Ball Z movie where the villain is killed by a Kamehame-Ha, I may not be remembering this correctly, but wasn't Lucifer killed by a Kamehame-Ha or something? That's one film I haven't seen in a while...

Not exactly. Goku uses a Kamehameha to destroy Lucifer's giant cannon, and Lucifer dies in the aftermath.

He didn't meet skinny Boo or super Boo's absorbed forms.

Maybe they didn't take Jaguar as the main villain of the movie...

The main villain was the giant blob.

Jaguar was a giant blob. Of a sort.

Um, well anyway, I think the Bio Warriors ought to at least be noted, since they are henchmen of a villian who appears in the movies. Also, the dictator's soldiers and Freeza's horde of undead has-been villians probably deserve a mention.

In movie 12, I would count everyone that came out of Hell as henchmen as they were working 'under' and were weaker than the Main villian.

Maybe Uranai Baba was in the Afterlife when Earth exploded and so she didn`t die. We can`t be sure.

Supreme Kai never died, Kibito found him and healed him and then they fused together.

She was. She says that she'll leave after dropping Vegeta off, and later we see her with Enma and the others in the afterlife.

Buu destroyed the Earth but did Tienshinhan and Chaotzu died? I don't recall and since nobody said anything at all about them...

Yep. Kaiôshin was only able to save Son, Vegeta, Satan, Dende, and Bay.

But, when was the last time we saw T'en and Chaozu before the earth exploded? :P. For all we know... <insert bunch of speculative ways they could have escaped that aren't backed up by the manga anime or FUNi... Possibly including the mysterious vanishing Yajirobe>
