[[folder: Freeza]]
* LittleKuriboh puts on a legitimately terrifying performance as Freeza.
** Exemplified better than anywhere else during his introduction to the heroes in 24:
--->'''Vegeta''': That doesn't matter! Don't you understand?! If it didn't grant me my wish, then I'm not immortal! And Freeza's going to... g-going to... [Freeza enters, to a justified MassOhCrap from all parties present.]\\
'''Freeza''': Ohohoho, no, don't mind me! By all means... '''''give me some ideas.'''''
** Freeza's moodswings at the beginning of episode 25 are both terrifying and hilarious.
--->[[AffablyEvil I'm sorry. I'm usually far more composed.]] I'm just a little bit ''ABSOLUTELY LIVID.''
** Freeza singing "These are a few of my favorite things." [[DarkReprise Or his own little rendition]] is VERY creepy. It's the slow piano and the slow tone he's singing it.
*** Even better is that the cover has some dissonant notes, making the sound even creepier.
---->'''Freeza''': Peaceful young races with fire on their houses, millions of voices all silenced like mouses, watching the cowards bow to their new king, these are a few of my favourite things.
** What makes it even more disturbing is his attitude during the time. He's significantly more FauxAffablyEvil than normal, making it all the creepier.
*** Oh, and who can forget;
---->'''Freeza''': *While hitting Vegeta in the back repeatedly.* Stop hitting yourself. *WHACK!* Stop hitting yourself. *WHACK!* Stop hitting yourself. *Lets go of Vegeta, letting him fall to the ground*\\
'''Vegeta''': Aahh! ... Aahah, you're the one hitting me...!\\
'''Freeza''': Au contraire, Vegeta. '''''You brought this upon yourself.'''''
** He also goes balls-out in episode 29 when he simply comes up with his "insta-fix" for not having finished genociding the Namekians and Saiyans: blow the whole planet up. He also has a freaky laugh when he's doing it. He just sounds so ''unhinged.''
*** Freeza has a disturbing ability to make the silliest lines ''chilling''. Much like the "stop hitting yourself" joke above, he gets this in Episode 29, with a game of "20 questions" with Goku.
---->'''Freeza''': Are you about to die?\\
'''Goku''': No...\\
'''Freeza''': Ah, Ah, Ah! *taking aim at Goku's forehead* ''No lying.''
** Freeza ''completely losing his mind'' in Episode 30.
*** Owing to Little Kuriboh's performance, Freeza once again takes lines that are generally amusing, and transforms them into something chilling. Helped in no small way by how utterly ''furious'' he is.
---->'''Freeza''': You think now that you're this so called 'Super Saiyan' that you're better than ''me?!'' ''Lord Freeza?!'' Well, you're ''not!'' I ''own'' you! I own ''your planet!'' I own ''this'' planet! In fact... '''''F*CK THIS PLANET!'''''
* After the theme song, episode 27 is deadly serious up until Vegeta's first line. 20 seconds may not sound like much, but considering what series this is, that third of a minute of menace stretches on a long time.
-->'''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 wear. Unfortunately, whenever I put it on... [glances at Dende, complete with a sizzling sound effect which is definitely ''not'' comedic] '''''someone dies. '''''\\
'''Gohan''': Dende... no...\\
'''Freeza''': Oh, don't cry for the poor thing. I've saved him the fate of seeing what I'm about to ''do to you''.
* After Freeza gives Vegeta a brutal beatdown we get this:
-->'''Freeza''': It seems our game is over, Vegeta. Now that we're done here, its time to send you crying home to mommy.\\
'''Vegeta''': My mother's dead.\\
'''Freeza''': [[CallBack I know.]]
** Said beatdown itself already having been pretty damn chilling.
* Freeza's new name for Earth? Vacant Lot.
* This quote, not helped by the sheer amount of barely contained rage that Freeza exhibits.
-->'''Freeza''': But I won't lie Daddy, I am absolutely ecstatic. When that filthy monkey arrives back on the planet, he'll return not to the smiling faces of his dear friends and family, but a total, unadulterated, ''genocide.''
* Let's not forget this:
-->'''Freeza''': Sending your friends away to fight me all on your own... how ''gutless...''\\
'''Goku''': What... how is that gutless?\\
'''Freeza''': Because... '''''suicide is the cowards way out...'''''
* Freeza's final appearance in Episode 33, where his VillainousBreakdown boils over and screws up his programming again, causing him to start shrieking [[Series/DoctorWho EXTERMINATE!!!!! EXTERMINATE!!!!!]] as he tries to kill Trunks. Made even better by the fact that while this is happening, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI9pgqHRG_M New Series Dalek theme]] plays.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mr Popo]]
* Mr. Popo. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHTTpfonLsc "Hiiii..."]]
** Krillin (and Kaiser Neko) would shit a brick after this: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fAQtmY2NUM#t=9m37s "That was terrifying..."]]
*** Popo has become NightmareFuel incarnate, so far he can [[spoiler: appear in your dreams, has some of the strongest people in the universe mortally afraid of him, essentially has the guardian of earth afraid to question him, inanimate objects are terrified of him, he may be the {{Cloverfield}} monster, he can also appear on your computer in real life, and get this: he can assimilate other beings to become like him. The latter makes you wonder how many Popos there are. He is also potentially the strongest being in the Universe.]]
*** Funimation acknowledges this in Anime/DragonBallKai when Goku flat out says Mr. Popo is scary when he's angry.
*** Team Four Star's 18+ panel gives just one more bit of nightmares: [[spoiler: He can break the fourth wall. With tentacle rape.]]
**** Those instances where it's implied that Popo molested Krillin are suddenly much more terrifying than before.
** In Episode 31, Kami tells Piccolo that Popo kicked him out of the watchtower for a booty call. "Last time he did this, I found five corpses. He laughed when I said 'five'."
*** The Ending. Dear Lord, THE ENDING. [[spoiler: Popo assimilates Garlic Junior and does something horrible offscreen to his minions. It's just as terrifying as when he did it to Blue Popo.]]
*** And now it seems he can even [[spoiler: invade video games]], as Krillin experienced while [[spoiler: playing Slender: The Arrival.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The rest.]]
* Vegeta has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsPujgqpx8w#t=8m09s completely lost it]] after Gohan stole his Dragon Balls.
** It's his eyes... and after Krillin lies and says they don't have it... they get worse... then they get better but still...
** It's lucky that Vegeta's power level was around 30,000 at this point. If this happened when he were stronger, say after Dende healed him, he might've gone Super Saiyan.
* That misfit minion who raped Rudolph, yeah? Listen ''really'' carefully to the background sound after he says that. *Shudder* [[BlackComedyRape Merry Christmas.]]
* 5 words "I AM CHAMPION CHRISTMAS!!!"
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint That's four words...]]
* Way back in episode 20, when Recoome kicks Gohan in the neck. The snap was way too real sounding and [[FridgeHorror if Gohan didn't get that senzu bean, he would have been dead... Try explaining that to Chi-Chi.]]
** And in episode 21, where [[TheDitz Goku]] tries talking to Gohan just after being left for dead. The fact that he was nonchalant while trying to wake him up, oblivious to his own son's injured state, is eerily creepy to say the least. It didn't help that Gohan himself looked like a [[UncannyValley lifeless doll]].
* Gohan... don't piss him off.
** Gohan excitedly asking if Krillin used his Kienzan to bisect Freeza when he blinded him. While it makes perfect sense, there's something really creepy about a five year old asking his friend if he gorily killed someone.
* [[spoiler:Dende's death]]. He's a CreepyChild already, but this scene takes the cake.
-->'''Dende''': I'm your WhiteMage, and nobody f***s with the White Mage!\\
''[[spoiler:[[ShootTheMedicFirst Explosion]]]]''
* [[spoiler: Super Kami Guru's slightly offscreen KarmicDeath. Even Vegeta looked shocked when he saw it.]]
** A bit of FridgeHorror before this, when Super Kami Guru reveals that ''he'' was the one who caused the horrible drought on Namek, and blamed it on the Albino Namekians. The other Namekians unknowingly slaughtered innocent Albino Namekians thanks to Guru's lie.
*** "[[Film/DayOfTheDead CHOKE ON IIIIIIT! CHOKE ON IIIIIIIIT!]]"
*** [[spoiler: Those words indicated the Namekians were ''[[ImAHumanitarian cannibalizing]]'' him. Which is how Moori became the Namekian leader and how the Dragon Balls still work.]]
* [[spoiler: King Kai has no problem with the fact that Dende left Goku on Namek with Freeza. Remember, in the original story, King Kai wanted everyone but Freeza evacuated to Earth until Goku demanded that he stay and finish his fight. The kid left Goku there. Granted he likely doesn't know who Goku is of course, especially his relation to Gohan, but the implication that Dende has no qualms about this is a bit chilling still...]]
* Chi Chi: '''''[[VoiceOfTheLegion WHERE'S MY BABY?!]]'''''
* While on Namek, Bulma has a truly chilling nightmare where Vegeta comes to her, [[RedEyesTakeWarning with glowing red eyes]].
-->'''Vegeta''': Hello Earth woman. (Bulma is shaking with fear) You know what I want. Now give it to me.\\
'''Bulma''': The Dragon Ball is right here...\\
'''Vegeta''': Oh, I'm not here for the Dragon Ball.\\
'''Bulma''': Wh... What?\\
'''Vegeta''': Spread 'em.
** Which CrossesTheLineTwice when she dumps Yamcha and invites Vegeta to live at her house.
* Cooler's delivery of this line after beating Goku to a pulp in the 'Revenge of Cooler' special is absolutely chilling.
-->'''Cooler''': Look at you... Wasted and gasping for air... But you don't get to go yet. When your planet is in ashes... Then you have my permission to die.
** Which in turn is an almost direct quote of Bane's equally chilling signature line from ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
** Cooler is terrifying in general. He's surprisingly competent and no-nonsense for an Abridged Series villain.
* There is something mildly creepy about [[spoiler:Dream!Goku's casual mention of nothing being real in Gohan's dream]] at the end of ''Episode of Bardock Abridged''.
** Keep in mind, that scene was taken from the same episode Chichi hired a sadistic teacher for Gohan. Long story short, he dreams about his dad coming back, but [[spoiler:that Goku turns out to be Freeza trying to kill young Gohan]].
* Trunk's [[StepfordSmiler Stepford Smile]] (and the internal scream) after Bulma jokingly told him she'd be his mommy in Episode 33 can be somewhat creepy...
* In Episode 34, we get a very bleak and dark look at what happens to Yamcha in Trunks' timeline.
-->[[spoiler:'''Goku''': Wait, you didn't mention Yamcha!]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Trunks''': Oh, um... I mean, he dies, but... See, after he found out that my mother was pregnant with Vegeta's child, he sort of...]]\\
[[spoiler:''[[DrivenToSuicide Cut to Yamcha's body swinging in darkness]]'']]\\
'''Goku''': [[LampshadeHanging Dark.]]
