History NightmareFuel / DragonBall

* But the creepier thing is Tao did the the world '''a favor'' by killing the General. Blue is the most unsettling Dragonball villain and that's counting Piccolo vomiting up eggs and even Majin Buu, firstly General Blue has [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi get up]] complete with with arm band and cap. Plus being a blonde pretty boy with TheFightingNarcissist personality, Blue alludes to [[MasterRace Aryan]], if that was evil enough all versions of him speak in high pitched effeminate voice. But wait's there more, Blue is also openly homosexual but there's nothing wrong with that, no the bad part is Blue is a pedophile (being attracted to young boys).

** This the pedophilia aspect of General Blue was mercifully kept out of the US Dub and Blue was also given more heterosexual leanings, though this is just as creepy as at one point when he gets angry at Bulma and makes the same ''suggestions''. Oh forget to mention, Blue is also a blazing misogynist, so you know all those Dragon Ball babes? (Bulma, Launch and Chi-Chi) General Blue thinks they're all disgusting. ***
As Chi-Chi says it best in his game bio ''"He's part of the Red Ribbon Army, he talks like a woman and he's creepy..."''

* Any of the sexual assaults made towards Bulma, especially that time the two Red Ribbon Army soldiers [[IhaveYouNowMyPretty were creeping]] on her despite her trying to explain she only 16. The manga has Bulma run away straight away in gag fashion, but the anime expands the unsettling scene, having the goons tackle her to the ground before she throws sand in their faces and running away. Goku saves her and the whole thing is laughed off on goffy manner, but still it's very disturbing to have rape implications in show aimed for kids.

* [[Cats Are Snarkers Korin]] has three weird jars in Senzu Bean room and Goku looks into them, in the first one Goku sees Chi-Chi in the past and tries to call her but fails. The second jar has Bulma and Oolong cooking and having fun at Kami House in the present, when Goku opens the third one a crazy red centipede bursts out, and wraps itself around the room giving Goku surreal visions of the future. It's creepy moment among many.

* childhood flashback was terrifyingly brutal when he was Crane Student assassin, terrorizing folktown and braking Yamcha's leg. Even more violent is Tien's past where we see Tao Pai Pai abusing the hell out of him (while Chiaotzu and Crane Hermit watch).

* Yajirobe is willing to eat anything, including mutated Namekians he has all reasons to think are demons and even human beings. In fact, when he thought Goku had been killed by King Piccolo he actually considered eating him before deciding it would be too disrespectful...
* The Cave of the [[TheSacredDarkness Darkness]] small filler arc where Goku (along Yajirobe)is sent by Korin to find the true Ultimate Divine Water to beat King Piccolo is literally the creepiest part of Dragon Ball. As it involves traveling to a Icy Mountain (full of killer snow monsters) and entering the dark cave underneath. It's especially unnerving when Goku stumbles across a Kami House ''inside the dark cavern'' and sees illusions of his happy smiling friends inside, who tell him to give up his quest in creepy echoey voices. Goku is outraged and flees only to be chased by Demon-Master Roshi and nearly killed, if not for Yajirobe's intervention. After Goku proves his goodness by saving Yajirobe's life, the Darkness [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/a/a1/Yami2.png/revision/latest?cb=20101020124053 appears]] and offers Goku the divine water but says it will defiantly kill him. Goku gulps it down and nearly dies but Oozaru (the Saiyan beast inside him) gives a roar and Goku survives powered up enough to beat King Piccolo.
** In manga Korin just gives Goku the Divine Water, which after seeing the expanded anime story is quite disappointingly underwhelming.

** In manga Korin just gives Goku the Divine Water, which after seeing the expanded anime story is quite disappointingly underwhelming.

* Tao Pai Pai, the most evil villain in ''Dragon Ball'', certainly is NightmareFuel. Especially considering he is the most feared man on the planet Earth. In addition, he is a sadistic mercenary who is even willing to kill children.
** The scene where he kills General Blue is somewhat disturbing, too. He boasts that he can kill the general with his ''tongue''... and then he lives up to it. He just sticks out his tongue out and uses it to puncture Blue's skull, killing him almost immediately. It's over so quickly that it almost doesn't even qualify as a fight.
* So you're watching the last few moments of Goku's fight with Piccolo, all is right, Goku gives a thumbs up to all his friends as they shout the countdown. Right when they get to nine, Piccolo gets up and fires a mouth beam straight into Goku's right shoulder. And this isn't Z where a direct hit from a beam causes some external wounds, and maybe torn clothes or something like that. No. This is Dragon Ball and Goku now has a hole he can stick his hand into under his shoulder. After writhing in pain for a while, Piccolo gets up and begins stomping on the wound over and over as Goku grabs the ground in pain. All the while, Piccolo is grinning ear to ear, and even laughing. Tenshinhan, Yamcha and Krillin try to help but Piccolo stops them before they can enter the ring. Goku, the badass, still manages to get up and get in an attack before a swift kick from Junior reminds him he has a giant hole in his body. Junior, the prick, then elbows Goku, right in the wound, followed by more blood curdling screams. And just to add injury to injury, Piccolo breaks Goku's leg.
** Speaking of Piccolo, the original Demon King manages to give a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Goku so badly that it stopped his heart.
* Goku becoming an Oozaru right before Bulma, Yamcha, Oolong and Puar's eyes.
* King Demon Piccolo's AxCrazy behaviour.

* Goku's Doll. Popo makes a sort of copy of Goku, and the look on it's face can be a touch unsettling. Then it starts to make sounds with it's mouth as it begins to charge a Kamehameha and it gets even creepier.
* Kinkaku and Ginkaku. At first they just look like two ''Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar'' {{Mooks}} with a submachine gun... Then comes the roll call, and anyone among their victims who doesn't answer quickly gets sucked in a gourd that is said to melt their flesh and bone and turn them into sake. And, just for [[KickTheDog dog-kicking sake]], the episode they appear in has them trying to do it to a ''[[WouldHurtAChild two weeks-old toddler]]''. Good thing Goku passes by and decides to stop them...
** When he initially confronts them, Goku is sucked in, and we see ''it actually does it''. Had Goku not used the Power Pole to not fall all the way in, he'd have been melted and turned into sake... And when he got out, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Goku stole the gourd and roll-called them them until they missed a call and got sucked in]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking after he had to pee while inside to boot and the gourd caught the smell]]. They are let out, but then they have to work for the villagers at gourd-point...
* Let's face it: ''Goku himself'', for his enemies. [[BadassAdorable He looks like a cute child]] but is [[SuperStrength super-strong]], NighInvulnerable, and, as a child, has ''zero'' compulsions about killing his enemies. And if he looks at the full moon he turns into a gigantic ape-like berserker. There's a reason [[GodzillaThreshold Pilaf was so terrified of him that he released Demon King Piccolo]] and Gero went completely insane and fixated on killing him with incredibly powerful robots (that are actually far more powerful than what he thought necessary), ''before'' finding out he's a member of a race of genocidal space pirates...
** Goku's rampage in the Red Ribbon compound. [[TheJuggernaut He was casually massacring them all, the rare hits they scored barely annoyed him]], [[NukeEm throwing a]] ''[[NukeEm nuke]]'' [[NukeEm at him]] only resulted in a destroyed mountain... And to make things worse, he was supposed to be ''dead''. And worst of all, had Goku not hit his head as a child ''that would have been the end of the whole planet''.
*** [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Team Four Star]] represented it perfectly in [[https://youtu.be/uNyAfXOTG5A?t=8m56s their animation of the death of Gero's son]].

* Yajirobe is willing to eat anything, including mutated Namekians he has all reasons to think are demons and even ''[[ImAHumanitarian human beings]]''. In fact, when he thought Goku had been killed by King Piccolo he actually considered eating ''him'' before deciding it would be too disrespectful...

'''Gero's son:''' "Good luck with your cyborgs!"\\

** The scene where he kills General Blue is somewhat disturbing, too. He boasts that he can kill the general with his ''tongue''... and then he lives up to it. He just sticks his tongue out so hard that he crushes General Blue's windpipe, leaving him to writhe helplessly on the ground as his brain is starved of oxygen, killing him in agonising pain.

** The scene where he kills General Blue is somewhat disturbing, too. [[note]] He does it with his tongue. [[/note]]

** The most chilling in Tao is the fact that he is '''completely human'''. He is not an alien (like Frieza, Vegeta or Babidi) or born for being evil (as King Piccolo, the androids or Majin Buu), he is human and evil by choice, and therefore, he is completely aware of the suffering of others.

** Then in Dragon Ball Z, Tien Shin Han has a flashback where Tao enjoyed mistreating him '''as a child''' when he was training, hinting how cruel he was, even if we talk about a flashback.

** The scene where he kills General Blue is somewhat disturbing, too, [[note]] He does it with his tongue [[/note]]

* Freeza throughout the entire fight with him. Starting with impaling Krillin and torturing him and then trying to crush Gohan's head slowly in his 2nd form, followed by a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown inflicted on Vegeta designed solely to make him suffer and then impaling him through the chest and watching as he bleeds out as well as just how terrifying he is when it turns out Goku can't even hurt him a little once Freeza powers up just a little and how easily he knocks Goku around.
** Before then, when Frieza shows up after the Grand Elder dies rendering the Dragon Balls useless. Frieza just stands there for a few seconds before he smiles. You knew then that Vegata, Gohan, Krillin, and survivors on the planet are screwed.
-->'''Frieza''': It won't hurt long, relax, death is my speciality.
* Cell is even more terrifying then Freeza, he can kill a human instantly by impaling them with his tail and kills at least six thousand innocent people and you even get to hear their screams as he powers up in his first form. His obsession with absorbing Androids 17 and 18 is terrifying as well, mostly the reactions that they have when they're being absorbed. He even manages to kill Goku and Future Trunks.
* The {{Fridge Horror}} of being absorbed by Majin Buu. You are taken into his body where he feeds off your power and knowledge and use them to kill everyone you know. Worse, you cannot die or do anything to stop him. You are forever trapped in an immortal being who will continue to use your abilities to kill billions.
