** No corpses were left behind. Their bodies were transported to the Heaven by Kami for them to train, just like when Goku was killed by Piccolo. On the same note, Kami had to remake Chaotzu's body.

Asskicking Equals Authority has been renamed.


*** He was Frieza's second-in-power and only henchman with a six-figure power level, and presumably [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority second-in-command]]. Ginyu also seemed to idolize Frieza and was actually [[LawfulEvil quite loyal to him]].

* A minor issue, after all the Namekians killed by Frieza and his henchmen were brought back to life and transported to Earth the Namekians are confused when their fellows from one village are not among them. Vegeta explains that the wish did not include those killed by himself. Only theirs one problem with that. At least one Namekian from the village Vegeta attacked was ''not'' killed by Vegeta. The lone Namekian was badly injured, but he was discovered and quickly killed by a henchmen of Freiza's who looked similar to Appule. So shouldn't that one Namekian have been revived by Shenron?
** This does not happen in the manga, it's likely just anime filler. So it wasn't considered to have happened.

** That would make sense in hindsight, considering Frieza killed that very same man. And Shenron didn't revive him either.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maXjBTvd9U8 Watching this scene in the anime]], it seems like what happened was this: Frieza tracks Goku around with the Destructo Disks; Goku tries to blind Frieza with the dust cloud of one of his ki blasts and Frieza jumps into the air to dodge (with the Destructo Disks flying off into the distance behind him); He and Goku engage in a brief air battle and Goku slams Frieza back down to the ground again; Frieza tries to use the one of the disks on Goku, who is right in front of him, but forgets that the disks were directly behind and now he's in the disk's return path; Since Frieza can't sense energy (apparently not even his own) the disk cuts him in half.

** As shown back in Dragonball when King Piccolo destroyed Shenron and then was restored by Kami only a few days later, Kami can restore the Dragon Balls to power effectively whenever he wants to. There might be some limitations, like Kami only being able to do it every so often, but he can.

** I've always thought the chambers only healed physical wounds, it couldn't regrow limbs. Think of it like the Bacta Tank from ''StarWars''. If we put Luke (minus his right hand) inside a Bacta Tank/regeneration chamber, it'd heal up the physical damage on his body, but the hand wouldn't grow back. Instead Luke would just have a healed stump near the wrist where the hand used to be. Same with Vegeta's tail. It was a prehensile limb he was born with, and since he lost it, it couldn't grow back.

** The dragons do not run on LiteralGenie rules. They are intelligent, generally helpful, understand the intent of the user's wishes and follow them. If a wish seems pointless, they'll even warn the users beforehand. I imagine Shenron just did what he thought Popo wanted him to.

*** Also, other than his own father, Frieza was already more powerful than any known being in the entire galaxy by several orders of magnitude. Even in his weakest transformation, he was over 4x stronger than Captain Ginyu, who is implied to be the strongest warrior in the entire planet trade outside of Frieza and King Cold. He was already inconceivably strong and nigh-invincible, thus had no meaningful incentive to go chopping off bits of his own body to replace with tech.

*** There's also the physical hindrances of having mechanical body parts attached to your flesh. Ignoring the elephant in the room regarding if he would be able to use his 100% power without bulking up, Frieza generally prefered to stay in his suppresed forms to the point that he even told Piccolo, Krillin, Gohan and Vegeta that they were the first ones to witness his second transformation, since his transformations actually alter his body drastically it could be possible that his mechanical limbs would have prevented this without constantly getting modified which in and itself would be very impractical. Besides, Frieza himself states he has trouble controlling his real power, even leading to his stamina problem, which means that being constantly on an upgraded version of his final form would probably be too much of a hassle for him when dealing with mundane tasks (Remember Goku accidentally breaking a glass when he tried to hold it as a Super Saiyan?), specially since he was much stronger than almost everyone in the universe anyway.

** It makes a ''little'' bit of sense when you consider how wishing people back to life worked in Dragon Ball. Every single time someone was wished back to life in Dragon Ball, their dead bodies just came back to life again. Thus everyone who was wished back to life came back in the exact spot in which they died, because that's where their bodies were. In the case of Goku, after he died his body suddenly disappeared - Piccolo stated that it was the work of Kami, who negotiated with King Yemma to allow Goku to train his actual body in the Otherworld under King Kai. That's why Goku had to head back across Snake Way to have Kami transfer him back. His body was no longer on Earth to come back to life there. Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu should have been given the same consideration. In the manga, it's not obvious that Yamcha, Tien or Chiaotzu came back to life in the spots they died, either. So if that happened in the anime, it could have been a non-Toriyama change. I agree however that it should not have taken an extra wish to bring Krillen back to life on Earth - Kami should have been able to act as a go-between in that case, though it's possible that the Bulma and co. just didn't know precisely how it all worked.

** Although it wasn't explained, this was acknowleged in the manga. When Vegeta first steps out of the regeneration chamber after the battle on Earth, he's told that they couldn't regenerate his tail but Vegeta simply muses that it will grow back on its own (which of course it doesn't).
