History NightmareFuel / DragonBall

** The next transformation, while not as graphic, is even more BodyHorror after Frieza extends his shoulder guards and grows spikes on his back, his face stretches out and then contorts his face into making his nose into a malformed beak while his head elongates. He then plays [[DragonBallAbridged paintball with Piccolo who had been a match for him earlier...just remove the "t"]], his last transformation is unimpressive as he cracks his skin and emerges in his 4th and true form, [[UncannyValley the placid expression and ghostly design makes up for it though]] and [[WouldHurtAChild is]] [[HeroKiller easily]] [[LackOfEmpathy the worst]] [[OhCrap one]] of them all as Goku finds out [[spoiler: At least until he turns Super Saiyan]]

** Chi'Chi in general most of the time..it's no wonder Goku fears her more than anything in the world.

* Some moments when Chi-Chi gets ''really'' [[HairTriggerTemper angry.]] There are times when she looks like she's not afraid to ''murder'' someone out of anger.

* Super Buu. While Fat Buu was more like an innocent child that didn't know how not to break stuff and Kid Buu was an evil child that liked breaking stuff (like planets, for instance), Super Buu was probably the most deranged. He has this trademark pose where he's standing straight up, but his long neck is tilted to one side and he's got a Cheshire Cat grin about two sizes too big for his face.

** Keep in mind that this is the same Cell that is literally ''fueled'' on the lives of thousands, if not millions of people. Laughed with glee as he absorbed the two teenagers his creator turned into cyborgs as they screamed for their lives. He also stated he loves seeing the twisted faces of terror in people, and said to Goku that if it wasn't for the tournament he created, [[EarthShatteringKaboom he'd wipe out the earth in one shot]] without batting an eye. And Gohan managed to ''absolutely terrify'' this thing. Cell even called him "a ''monster''". When Goku called out to Gohan that he should end the fight since Cell, while cornered could become more unpredictable than before, Gohan's response was to glare at him and give his most [[PsychoticSmirk sadistic smirk]] he's ever shown, before giving the line that he'd like to carry on what was effectively '''torture''' of a literal CompleteMonster. That kid was clearly NotHimself.

** Any transformation in the Great Ape/Oozaru by Goku or Gohan. Not only do they have an appearance of a monster, but whenever a Saiyan turns into one, unless they're an elite, they lose ''all'' senses of them selves.

** Any transformation in the Great Ape/Oozaru by Goku or Gohan.

** Goku tries to turn things around with the Kaioken x 10, greater than anything we've seen before...and it ''doesn't even slow Frieza down.'' That's the moment where the viewer realizes just how bad things are for the heroes.
*** And after that, he does a Kaioken x ''20'', smacks Frieza around a little, and then fires a [[KamehameHadoken Kamehameha]] at fairly close range. Then the smoke clears, and Frieza's injuries amount to ''nothing more than a second-degree burn on his palm''. It's at that point that [[OhCrap Goku realizes that Frieza isn't bluffing about being at half power]].
** There's also the fact that Frieza's forms were specifically designed to look like monsters from the author's own childhood nightmares.
** Frieza's 4th form is pretty freaky when he first transforms into it, mostly because of how his chalk-white skin combined with it being his most humanoid form makes him look ghostly. Of course, it doesn't hurt that his first order of business is to [[spoiler: blast Dende]].

*** Speaking of Gohan, after Chi-Chi hires a sadistic tutor for him, Gohan has a dream about Goku finally returning home. However, when Gohan follows Goku outside, the dream turns into a nightmare when Goku morphs into Frieza and mocks Gohan about Goku's supposed death. The Nightmare Fuel part? This shows that Frieza's sadistic assault on Gohan left him traumatized.

**** FromBadToWorse - remember, the earth's dragon can't revive people more than once, and as far as they knew, the Namekian dragon could only revive three people every 130 days. That means he was knowingly sacrificing everyone killed by Cell or Vegita permanently.

* Some moments when Chi-Chi gets ''really'' [[HairTriggerTemper angry.]] She looks like she's about to outright ''kill'' someone.

** The next transformation, while not as graphic, is even more BodyHorror after Frieza extends his shoulder guards and grows spikes on his back, his face stretches out and then contorts his face into making his nose into a malformed beak while his head elongates.

* His transformations unlike the other transformations that were either weird, NightmareFuel or heroic; Frieza's in a catergory of his own. His first transformation into his 2nd form is BodyHorror at its finest, first his chest and arms enlarge giving the appearance of an upper torso way too big for Frieza's small frame until his legs bulk out starting from the thighs to his ankles, also [[{{Satan}} his horns turn upwards as seen through a shadow]], then we see from his point of view of Vegeta gradually getting smaller, then stretching out his neck, a pink aura surrounds him as his facial features become more adult and his shoulder pads enlarge. In fact the sheer weight of the form causes him to fall to his knees as power is straining his being. In the anime, he then stands up and turns around to show his satanic new form, while in the manga, he gives a SlasherSmile knowing that the heroes are now screwed. Everyone including Vegeta are scared of this new form. [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice which is completely justified as Frieza goes to impale Krillin with his horns and prolongs it with sadistic pleasure]].

--> '''Freeza''':It's been so long since I've since I've had to use this form. It feels like an old suit I never have an occasion to use. Unfortunately, whenever I put it on...[glances at Dende, complete with a sizzling sound effect which is definitely ''not'' comedic] '''''someone dies. '''''

--->'''Imperfect Cell:''' Ahhh. You too, [[TermsOfEndangerment my little peach]]. [[UnfortunateImplications I'm going to gobble you up!!]]

* A milder example is seen in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbXEcBFqNo&feature=related this gameplay video]] of Dragon Ball GT Final Bout, in which the final boss' arrival catches the player off-guard. However, this is made NightmareRetardant by the ''crapload'' of {{Narm}} present in the game, as you can tell from its voice acting.

**** ItGotWorse - remember, the earth's dragon can't revive people more than once, and as far as they knew, the Namekian dragon could only revive three people every 130 days. That means he was knowingly sacrificing everyone killed by Cell or Vegita PERMANENTLY.

** And for a bonus, Frieza is [[HeyItsThatVoice voiced by]] RyuseiNakao, who voiced [[{{Bleach}} Mayuri Kurotsuchi]].

* The moment during the Androids Saga where Gero caught Piccolo. While Gero and his energy-sucking creations are horrifying in general, to this troper there is something monumentally creepy about that scene in particular. The way Gero had his legs wrapped around Piccolo, with a hand over his mouth, whispering in his ear "Ssh... it'll all be over soon," gave the impression that he was enjoying the whole thing... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a bit too much]].
