Consisting of entirely humans, U9 is the result of the Earth surviving and defeating major threats and forces shown in the series without Saiyans or Namekians to help them. As a result, U9's inhabitants would train and use other factors, like Dr. Gero's tech, to develop into old age ahead of their main counterparts. The fighters in this universe include Krillin (who has taken Master Roshi's place as the Turtle Hermit)[[note]]Was defeated by U3 Tapion with help from Hirudegarn[[/note]], Tien [[note]]Forfeited to U4 Buu[[/note]], Yamcha [[note]]Forfeited to U14 Android 18 after revealing that he was a modified version of his universe's Android 17[[/note]] and Videl [[note]]Forfeited to U8 King Cold[[/note]].

!!'''In General'''
* BadassNormal: To some extent, given the fact that almost all the other contenders are either powerful aliens, half-aliens or robots. Krillin, Tien and Videl are some of the only 100% human characters. Krillin is strong enough to curb-stomp Sauza, and came close to beating Tapion. And Videl (thanks to the Kaioken) survived a fight with King Cold in his Third Form, even managing to land a few hits on him. Tien was able to ''vaporize'' Zen Buu - but even that wasn't enough to kill Buu completely, and he gives up afterwards.
* FantasticRacism: Justified. The U9 humans have not had positive experiences with aliens, resulting in this. U9 Krillin even coldly dismissed U18 Goku, who was trying to compliment him. Subverted later on in the novelization, however, where they begin to meet Universe 18 on friendly terms.
* TeamSpirit: Like Universe 19, Universe 9 seems to have utilized this as much as possible to take down their threats. This is best shown when they face off against [[spoiler:the weakest Majin Cell Junior]], an opponent stronger than all of them, which gets overwhelmed by all of them working together to fight and kill it.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u9_krillin.png]]
* AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: He's the new Turtle Hermit, has a Turtle Shell made of Kaichin and has access to the Kaioken.
* CurbStompCushion: Krillin manages to defeat Tapion on his own handily, and only loses because of the latter bringing out Hirudegarn (who was capable of going up against a Super Saiyan 3 at least evenly).
* OldMaster: He has taken Roshi's place as the new Turtle Hermit.
!!'''Tien'''
[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/u9_tien.png]]
* CurbStompCushion: Tien's battle with Zen Buu - at first, Tien tried to use the Evil Containment Wave on him to keep him imprisoned in a inflatable duck inner tube - as it turns out, Buu knew the counter AND had already spread parts of himself around the ring. Afterwards, Tien uses his Tri-Beam and ''incinerates'' Buu's body - but couldn't do enough damage to kill Buu for good, and decides to throw in the towel.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Utilizes the Four Witches Technique in tandem with his Neo-Tri Beam to vaporize Zen Buu.
* MythologyGag: In his fight with Sun Wukong, Tien is likened to the Buddha, who was the original inspiration of the character.
