* {{Badass}}: He blocks a Kaioken empowered Kamehameha with no damage at all (compare to how in the original series where he ends up with a second-degree burn on his hand), beats up an enraged Gohan like a rag-doll with just his second form, holds his own against a Nail-fused Piccolo before deciding to get serious, effortlessly beats up a Zenkai enhanced Vegeta (who at this point is far stronger than even his Oozaru form from earth), demands '''''GOD''''' to strike him and ''came out unscathed'', tanks a massive Spirit Bomb from space with little to no damage (only having a chunk of his tail torn off), etc. Too bad VillainForgotToLEvelGrind kicked in and made him look like a joke by the Android Saga.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Regarding the events on Namek. Goku's increased power level and ability to turn Super Saiyan both caught him off-guard and disrupted his plans for revenge.
* SmugSnake: Shows some symptoms of this. He's incredibly arrogant, of both himself and Android 19's capabilities, but 19's performance against Super Saiyan Goku [[spoiler: and Vegeta]] don't really back up his boasting.
