Line #11 YMMV/DragonBallDC


1	* AwesomeEgo: Par the course for Vegeta. He's a SmugSuper but given that he [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter proved to be Kakarot's better when they fought]] and almost single handedly defeated the Injustice Gang despite the Amazons' [[PowerLimiter restraints]] limiting his strength, he's more than capable of backing up his power.
2	** Lex Luthor fights in the Doom Saga and he proves he's as capable of backing his bragging ever by demolishing the Superman Revenge Squad.
3	* CatharsisFactor: Much like canon Dragon Ball, this series nicely sets up villains the audience wants to see defeated.
4	** The Saiyan Saga, seeing Kakarot come back and defeat Raditz are getting beaten so badly the first time.
5	** In the Entity Saga, Kakarot turning Super Saiyan and inflicting a CurbStompBattle on Rogal Zaar. This was after Rogal Zaar had just established himself as being prepared to kill any surviving Saiyans at any cost [[TheUnfettered no matter who got in his way]], and had killed Batman.
6	** [[spoiler: Along with bringing back the heroes and innocent people killed in the Saiyan Saga, Raditz and Nappa are also brought back to life. Both characters were criticized as [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter wasted in canon]], so it was instantly satisfying for fans to see them brought back to life.]]
7	** The Super Saiyan Saga sees Broly finally decide to stop bending over to [[AbusiveParent Paragus]]' abuse, in a moment where Paragus undergoes a JerkassRealization.
8	* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[AmusingAlien Larfleeze]] proved one for his funny dialogue, to the point where he appeared in his own side video series.
9	** Broly instantly proved one with his [[CurbStompBattle introduction]]. His sympathetic backstory cemented it.
10	* EscapistCharacter: Kakarot Kent. He is a CompositeCharacter of Son Goku and Superman, who were already famous examples of this trope.
11	* FoeYayShipping: Vegeta and Wonder Woman, even with Steve Trevor as Diana's lover.
12	** Their first meeting is the two fighting in the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta being impressed by Diana's power.
13	** After Vegeta's defeat his held prisoner by Wonder Woman and visited by her a regular basis. Vegeta states that as royalty he owed Diana more respect than commoners. Diana somewhat enjoys their meetings and knocking Vegeta down a peg, while hoping he will change his ways.
14	** [[HeroAntagonist Orion]] comes to Earth to kill Vegeta and [[SaveTheVillain Wonder Woman saves him from being killed]].
15	** After putting up with Vegeta proclaiming that VirtueIsWeakness, Diana pins him to the ground and ties the Lasso of Truth around his neck. She also ties it around her own arm. After Vegeta states that [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he has to be evil]] because no being would ever love him after all the evil he has committed, Diana states she loves everyone, even him.
16	** [[spoiler: Vegeta saves Diana from the Injustice Gang. After returning to his cell he tries to deny caring about her, but when grabs the Lasso of Truth to try and prove it to himself, he is forced to admit that he '''does''' care about her. He then states that he '''deserves''' her and suffers a DespairEventHorizon that causes him to turn Super Saiyan when he grabs the lasso again and states he deserves nothing.]]
17	** [[spoiler: Vegeta shows off his Super Saiyan state to Diana. He expects her to be impressed by it. She is impressed, by how beautiful she finds it.]]
18	** Kakarot is a FriendlyEnemy to Atomic Skull and Metallo, treating them like friends despite them trying to kill him. And [[AffablyEvil Metallo largely returns his politeness]].
19	* HoYay: The final of the Entity Saga has Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter pull a BigDamnHeroes in the fight with Rogal Zaar. They teleported using the [[ThePowerOfLove Violet Light of Love]]. Whose love did they use? Larfleeze's admiration for Kakarot.
20	** When Kakarot is sent to an alternate universe he finds Caulifla and Kale, a duo already well known for this trope in [[HoYay/DragonBall canon]], the latter outright being referred to as the former's girlfriend.
21	** Caulifla and Kale's ADayInTheLimeLight doesn't beat around the bush and makes it clear the two are lovers.
22	** Kakarot sees Atomic Skull and Metallo and says they act LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. To his shock, they duo explains they are married.
23	* HilariousInHindsight: In the outtakes for the Saiyan Saga, Raditz complains that he doesn't get a [[HeelFaceTurn redemption arc]]. [[spoiler: Come the end of the Entity Saga, Raditz is brought back to life, giving rise to the hope he will get a redemption arc.]]
24	* JerkassDissonance: Like in canon, Vegeta has a fanbase in spite of, or arguably because of what a jerk is, with many fans have stated plots revolving around him are better than story's focused on Kakarot.
25	* JerkassWoobie: All three of the villainous Saiyans;
26	** Raditz was only a boy when they were abducted by Darkseid. Unlike in canon he was horrified at the thought his younger brother had been killed Planet Vegeta was destroyed. But thanks to Darkseid's torture [[DespairEventHorizon he gave up any hope of his brother ever coming for him]] and grew to hate him instead.
27	** Nappa was used as a gladiator and speaking out of turn got him beaten. When asked by Aquaman where he pride as warrior was, Nappa somberly states he had it beaten out of him years ago. When subjected to the Lasso of Truth by Wonder Woman, Nappa actually starts to consider life outside of servitude to Darkseid, only to be killed by Vegeta.
28	** Vegeta has it the worst. He is the same JerkAss he was in canon, but at the same time his life managed to be even worse. He was personally raised and tortured by Darkseid, hoping in vain to one day grow strong enough to kill him. Apparently he succeeding only to realize Darkseid was an enemy he could never surpass, Vegeta surrendered to a future as Darkseid's slave. After his defeat in the Saiyan Saga he is kept a prisoner on Earth, attempting to make escape only to see there was nowhere for him to go before he is humiliated by Wonder Woman, Vegeta admits he feels that no being could ever love him. [[spoiler: In the Super Saiyan Saga he admits he does care about Wonder Woman while touching the Lasso of Truth, no matter how much he wants to deny it. When he tries touch the lasso and claims he deserves her, he instead is forced to admit he deserves '''nothing'''.]]
29	* MoralEventHorizon: Rogal Zaar initially comes off as WellIntentionedExtremist trying to rid the universe of the Saiyans who will NeverHurtAnInnocent. But then after he loses his patience with Kyle Rayner standing in his way, despite him not posing a threat due to the lose of his ring, he tries to kill him.
30	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Rogal Zaar was much better received in this series than in canon since due to him fitting in much better in the story the destruction of the Saiyans than the destruction of Krypton.
31	* ShockingMoments: [[spoiler: The Entity Saga; Batman dies taking a hit aimed at Kakarot. And at the end, Lex Luther reveals he has this universe' version of Gohan as a son. Voiced by Creator/MasakoX no less.]]
32	** [[spoiler: The Entity Saga sees Raditz and Nappa brought back to life, something fans weren't expecting.]]
33	* UnexpectedCharacter: Rogal Zaar [[TheScrappy wasn't a popular addition to the Superman mythos]] so he wasn't high on the list of DC characters people thought they'd see in a crossover with ''Dragon Ball''.
34	* UnpopularPopularCharacter: As usual, Vegeta. At best other characters can tolerate him. But fans love him all the same.
35	* TheWoobie: Broly. He and his father spent their days on War World before Mongul showed up and Broly acted as Mongul's champion in his GladiatorGames out of fear Mongul would kill Paragus. Despite all he did for Paragus, he turns on Broly when Flash and Mera try to rescue him, berating Broly for threatening his position with Mongul and threatening to kill him. The Super Saiyan Saga reveals Broly was tortured for disobeying Paragus, but it was never the physical pain that got to him, it was the pain of his father's betrayal.
