History Characters / DragonBallZAbridged

--> ''Piccolo'': '''Gohan, you're a good kid.'''

* AffablyEvil: He acts chill and careless, but is a total sociopath. [[spoiler:As Gero finds out first-hand]].

* LovableRouge
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He acts cool, but he can turn cold easily.

* HotMom: In episode 35.
** GlamorousSingleMother: Since Vegeta went to space, [[spoiler: running away from the responsibility]], a year and a half ago.

* LandDownunder: The FUNimation dub gave him an exaggerated Australian accent [[UnexplainedAccent for no real reason]] (especially since the original Ocean dub voice ChristopherSabat was imitating had been ''Liverpudlian''), but in this series it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] because his home planet is [[SpaceX Space]] Australia (more specifically, he's from Space Brisbane. Go, Space Broncos!).

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original series, he was a kindhearted NatureLover who showed concern for his pupils. In this, he's an absurdly powerful psychopath that enjoys inflicting misery onto others. Although he does seem to have retained the NatureLover thing. (Goku's flashback of first meeting Pop still has Popo feeding and being surrounded by wildlife, and Garlic Jr. tickls him off by trashing his garden.)

* DubNameChange: The Turles Crusher Corps in the series become the Misfit Minions, and the name changes don't stop there:
** Amond becomes Slay.
** Cacao becomes S.N.O.W. Man.
** Daiz becomes Reese.
** Lakasei and Rasin become the Jinga Beru Brothers.

** DragonAscendant: Sauza makes one last attempt to kill off Goku and company after Cooler is beaten.

* TheDreaded: In the Dead Zone Abridged, when Garlic Jr meets Gohan and realizes he's Goku's son, Garlic Jr freaks out and yells at his minions to get the Dragon Balls quicker.

* EatTheDog: In ''Revenge of Cooler'', Goku calls Icarus his "emergency food". He makes good on that.

** DragonTheirFeet: Sauza makes one last attempt to kill off Goku and company after Cooler is beaten.

* ShyBladder: Used as an excuse to get out of fighting Ginyu, while Goku explains. Later, while taking a nap, he wakes up suddenly shouting "I HAVE TO PEE!" And then later, Freeza taunts him by asking when he graduated from Pull-ups.

* TheOtherDarrin: [=Vegeta3986=] no longer voices Yamcha after leaving the series. As of Episode 28, he's now voiced by [[NullmetalAlchemist Faulerro]].

->'''Voiced by:''' [=LittleKuriboh=]

[[caption-width-right:350:"Like a bitch."]]

* IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney: "Cat loves food, yeah yeah yeah yeah!" And no, it wasn't worth it.

* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler: Goku convincing him not to kill himself. He's genuinely touched by somebody ''not'' treating him like shit.]]

--> '''Recoome:''' "The name's... RECOOME! And it rhymes with... DOOM! [[HulkHogan And you're going to be hurting...]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ALL... TOO... SOON!]]"

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: "Does Hell have bedds? Maybe spiky ones. Or spiders. Or spiky spiders. Spikers..."

* SurroundedByIdiots: Works for and against him. Works since his minions failing to kill Piccolo meant he still got his wish. Didn't work for him since when they went to take Gohan's Dragon Ball, they kidnapped Gohan and stole the ball for no good reason.

* WouldHurtAChild: Deconstructed, Freeza claims to have spared children in the past, but they in turn [[UngratefulBastard either want]] [[DoNotTauntCthulhu to kill him]] out of {{Revenge}} (which obviously will get them killed) or grow up under his rule. Usually both, apparently.
