** When a bored Goku tells Freeza he's leaving the battlefield, Freeza points out that he still hasn't given Goku the pizzas he promised him before "giving" them to him in the form of a pair of energy disks.



** When Freeza asks Goku WhatTheHellAreYou, Goku replies that it's "just like Vegeta said," annoying Freeza, who thinks he's going to have to hear the "You're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior" speech a ''fourth'' time (he doesn't, thought the gist is the same).

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: After Goku gives his energy to Freeza after he's been cut in half, Freeza, stunned, contemplates that this could be his second and final chance to change his evil ways before giving a big "NAH!" and firing his given energy back at Goku.

* AdaptedOut: The part where Gohan fights Freeza in his final form when the latter thinks he's killed Goku after knocking him into lava is cut out, as is the part where Goku turns the tide against Freeza due to the latter's inexperience with fighting at his 100% form causing him to tire out, instead making it seem like Goku's leaving the battle simply because he's bored.

Enraged over Krillin's death, Goku transforms into the legendary Super Saiyan! He and Freeza fight, while back on Earth, the Dragon Balls are used to wish back everyone who were killed by Freeza's army on Namek, and they in turn use the Namek Dragon Balls to wish everyone except for Goku and Freeza back to Earth. Freeza tries to kill Goku by blowing up the planet, only to get caught in the blast. Back on Earth, the heroes revive their friends with both sets of Balls, only to learn that Goku survived, but isn't ready to go home. Freeza is rebuilt into a cyborg by his father, and Vegeta learns that vaguely-defined wishes can backfire...in the form of Nappa becoming a movie producer.
