--> "I am the only serious character in this show. That is the joke."
** Although he did join in on "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
* DeadpanSnarker: At least when Vegeta is involved. The first thing he does when the group meets up to fight Freeza is comment on [[RealMenWearPink Vegeta's shirt]], and then spends most of episode 34 mocking Vegeta about not being a Super Saiyan. All with a straight face.
* HeHadAName:

* HeroicSacrifice: Chiaotzu... but ended up being a SenselessSacrifice.

** Tien as well in the "Born This Way" parody--he manages to ruin the song ''and'' make Piccolo run off set crying in less than 30 seconds.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: When the fight with Nappa starts disastrously, Tien seriously considers grabbing Chiaotzu and running. Unfortunately, Chiaotzu had already gotten involved in the fight and was going for a TakingYouWithMe attack.

** Shenron the dragon works for him. Pecking order, indeed!
* 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 Popo still has Popo feeding and being surrounded by wildlife, and Garlic Jr. tickls him off by trashing his garden.)

* DarkIsEvil: He's one of the scariest people in the show, enjoys the suffering of others, and despite being possibly the most powerful person on the show, doesn't lift a finger to stop the assorted villains from wreaking havoc unless that havoc just included his marijuana patch. He's nominally on the heroes' side.
** And Creator/TeamFourStar does like to emphasize that his skin is dark:
--->'''Krillin, on Namek:''' Actually, what I meant to say was, when you make a wish on the Dragon Balls, the sky turns ''darker than the blackest void!''\\
'''Mr. Popo, on Earth:''' Hmm?
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments:
-->'''Kami:''' Mr. Popo... I believe... that Piccolo may have been slain.\\
'''Popo:''' I think [[LiteralSplitPersonality you'd know if he were]]. You still there?\\
'''Kami:''' Yes.\\
'''Popo:''' Then he ain't dead, is he, drama queen?
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: He took offense to Chiaotzu's tribute to him in the form of a costume at the Halloween party. He responded by turning into the Cloverfield Monster and going on a rampage.
* TheDreaded: When Goku, who has defeated foes with Worlds destructing abilities, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Krillin]] and even the ''creators of the series'' fear you, you are a badass.
* DrillSergeantNasty: "Shut up maggots!" and "All right, maggots, listen up!"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His reaction to finding out that he's getting new people to [[TrainingFromHell train]] is to laugh maniacally. His first actual action is to kick Krillin off of Kami's Lookout.
-->'''Mr. Popo''': [[KickTheDog Enjoy the climb back up, bitch!]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He would never torture... [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial cats]].
* EvilLaugh: Done twice. One when Kami told him Popo would be training Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, and two, when he saw Tien and Yamcha dying, in his training.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler: '''Kills Garlic Jr. before his arc even begins.''']]
* ForTheEvulz: It certainly seems like this half the time.
-->'''Vegeta''': *screaming ''Teamfourstar.com''* .COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-\\
'''Mr Popo''' ''(His face in Vegeta's hair)'': "-ooooooooooooooooooooom.\\
'''Vegeta''': "What the, get outta my hair!"\\
'''Mr Popo''': ''"No."''
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As Kaiser Neko found out. And so did convention goers at an 18+ event.
* GoodCounterpart: [[Anime/DragonBallKai Blue Popo.]] He doesn't last long.
* HeroicComedicSociopath
* HumanoidAbomination: [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/254/f/1/mr__popo__s_deadly_eyes_by_khmaivietboi-d2yjspi.jpg Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Where do we even begin?
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant
* NominalHero
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He could have dealt with the whole Freeza saga by himself, but didn't feel like it.
* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Roshi offhandedly calls him "the scary genie".
* PetTheDog: When asked by Shenron if it was time to lay waste to the Earth, he decided to give the humans a couple more centuries to clean up the planet. Of course, he was high as balls at the time, which may have had something to do with it.
** Also, he replaces the sun after it is accidentally blown up in ''Revenge of Cooler''.
** According to the pecking order, the Z-Warriors (and likely everyone else in the universe) are below the dirt, which is the next most pitiful thing to him. Who is the only exception to this order? '''Kami'''. Granted, he's still below Popo, but he's higher than everyone else, including Popo's ''stool''.
* PhysicalGod: Goku blew up the sun in ''Revenge of Cooler''. Popo put it back.
* SadistTeacher: Heavy emphasis on the sadist part.
* ScaryBlackMan
* TheStoner: Apparently the only way Kami keeps him even ''slightly'' under control.
--> I'm so f***ing high right now!
* TalkingToHimself: With [[ButtMonkey Krillin]], [[JackassGenie Shenron]], and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jynx]].
* TokenEvilTeammate
!!Kami
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Vegeta3986=] (Season 1), [=WeeklyTubeShow=] (Season 2-current)
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his earlier appearances--and especially the pre-Team Four Star ''Dead Zone Abridged''--the main joke for Kami was that he was painfully old and spoke with an exaggerated wheeze. After [[TheOtherDarrin his voice actor was replaced]], he was given a more normal voice and was portrayed as a DeadpanSnarker.
* DeadpanSnarker: After he came back to life. Part 1 of episode 30 has him throwing a ''lot'' of snark at King Kai. It makes sense when you remember that [[spoiler: he ''is'' Piccolo's other half.]]
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Smokes pot with [[HumanoidAbomination Popo]]. Possibly the basis of their... friendship?
* NoRespectGuy: "You know, I am the Guardian of Earth. Can I please get a little more respect here?"
* NumberTwo: Right below Mr. Popo on the Pecking Order. Whether he's TheLancer or TheDragon depends on how you view Popo.
* TheOtherDarrin: Voiced by [=Vegeta3986=] in Season 1, and by [=WeeklyTubeShow=] afterward.
* RetiredBadass: The Z-Warriors go to receive training from Kami in preparation for fighting Vegeta and Nappa, but since he is "quite old", he leaves their training to [[SadistTeacher Mr. Popo]].
* SelectiveObliviousness: To Mr. Popo's more brutal tendencies.
** Of course, it's not like he can ''do'' anything about it. Pecking order...
* TheStoner: Apparently. He says smoking pot helps with his glaucoma.
!!King Kai
->'''Voiced by:''' [=KaiserNeko=]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the series proper, King Kai notes that Vegeta and Nappa are stronger than him and leaves it to the Z-fighters to take down the dead Ginyu Warriors to showcase his training regimen. Here he lays the smack down on the ''entire'' Ginyu squad by himself. In a CurbStompBattle offscreen
* TheAloner: He thinks he's this, but he's got plenty of (unwanted) company with Bubbles, Gregory, and Bojack.
* GrumpyOldMan
* [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY It's Pronounced "kah-ee-oh""]]: King Kai berates Yamcha for saying "Kaio-Ken" with the now-outdated English pronunciation of "Kay-oh."
* {{Jerkass}}: To Gregory, Bubbles, and Bojack at least. He's pretty short with his supposed "students", too.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Popo's mind anyway. When King Kai tried to telepathically communicate with him he got a concussion. And that's just while Popo's high as a kite. Though that might explain ''why'' he got a concussion.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Yeah, all of you can just go straight to Hell." [[spoiler: [[DontExplainTheJoke Then he beats their spirits so hard they end up in hell.]] ]]
* [[TalkingToHimself Telling Himself to Shut Up]]: With Gregory.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Seems to be able to connect to the Internet with his antenna.
!!Dende
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Takahata101=]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: To... ''Gohan'', which is odd until you realize Namekians are a OneGenderRace, [[FridgeBrilliance so it only makes sense]] that he is attracted to males, aside Gohan was the only one who showed him some kind of respect.]]
* [[spoiler:BiTheWay: He did express a desire to [[MarsNeedsWomen nestle between Bulma's breasts]] earlier.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Rarely did his voice change from a flat tone.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: After making the wish to bring everyone on Namek save for Freeza and Goku to Earth, he reveals this fact to Freeza and taunts him about it, vanishing right before Freeza's attack can hit him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He tells Freeza that Krillin and Gohan are from Earth as payback for Krillin calling him "Little Green".
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:When telling Vegeta to not screw with the WhiteMage, he is killed.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Does this to Vegeta in episode 26
** His own death could qualify, what with his RevengeBeforeReason and DisproportionateRetribution.
* NiceGuy: Describes himself as such. Though it's said with a heaping pile of sarcasm.
* TalkingToHimself: With Super Kami Guru and Porunga.
* TemptingFate: Apparently, no one told Freeza that "nobody fucks with the White Mage".
* TookALevelInJerkass: Dende took '''MASSIVE''' levels of jerkass-itude in Episode 25:
** He betrayed Gohan and Krillin by revealing that they're from Earth. Why? ''[[DisproportionateRetribution Because]] [[SeriousBusiness his name is "Dende"]]''.
** While he healed Krillin after he got stabbed in the chest, he also told him he was [[ShmuckBait immortal]], possibly under the hopes that Freeza would kill him while serving as a distraction. It fails, but still...
** He does respect [[spoiler:(and has a crush on)]] Gohan, though, so it's clear his behavior is largely just retaliation for Krillin's ignorance.
* UngratefulBastard: Not only does he show no gratitude to Krillin for saving and protecting him from Freeza and his forces, he actually reveals the identity of his home planet Earth to Freeza and tries to use the ButtMonkey as a distraction to lure Freeza away. All because he kept calling him "Little Green".
* WhiteMage: "Nobody f$#!s with the WhiteMage."
** Ironically, immediately after saying this, he gets f$#!ed with by Freeza. [[FamousLastWords Fatally]].
*** Then when he comes back, he proceeds to both save everyone on Namek, AND screw over Freeza at the same time. Looks like he was right.
!!Nail
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Hbi2k=]
* AscendedExtra: Unlike in the original series, here Nail retains a mind separate from Piccolo even after fusing bodies, letting him continue as a sort of recurring character.
* BeleagueredAssistant
* ButtMonkey: Guru does horrible stuff to him.
-->"Nail! I have a bitch of an itch on my left ass cheek!"
-->"So I said, 'I don't care WHO you are! Now clean my JOWLS!' And that was Nail's first day on the job."
* CasualDangerDialog: Much to Piccolo's annoyance.
* DeadpanSnarker
** ServileSnarker
* EarlyBirdCameo: Nail and Guru make a cameo in episode 5 to demonstrate a place duller than King Kai's planet.
--> '''Nail:''' "Oh, God, this is so horribly dull! I hope something exciting happens around here soon, I don't care what it is!"
** [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Cue Freeza's arrival seven episodes later...]]
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Freeza decides to have some fun with this.
* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: Before Freeza. He was excited about finally having a good argument with Vegeta.
* OnlySaneMan: Up until he fused with Piccolo.
* SharingABody: With Piccolo.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Seems to be developing this with Piccolo.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Whistling causes him intense pain, even when he's actually living inside someone else's head.
** Having super-sensitive hearing while inside the head of a guy with no indoor voice can also have it's downsides.
!!Super Kami Guru
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Takahata101=]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Like Popo, he is morally the complete opposite of Guru in the actual show.
* [[spoiler: AssholeVictim]]: [[spoiler: Especially after his revelation of what really happened to cause the Great Drought.]]
* BadBoss: '''''Yes.'''''
* TheCaligula
* CallMyName: '''NAAAAAAAIL!!!'''
* DareToBeBadass: Gives a speech like this to Nail in order to make him stand up to Freeza. Turns out he wasn't very sincere.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Gives us a preview of his quirks in episode 5.
--> '''Guru:''' "I saw a bird. It was pretty. Kick its ass."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When Freeza makes a crack about a slug, Guru exclaims "Leave my brother out of thiiis!" as Slug is his brother and a senile nutcase could interpret the statement Freeza made as a threat toward him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Going by his scenes with Gohan and Freeza, he seems to draw the line at child molestation and judging people by their appearances. Not above using a MindScrew on the former though.
* EvilOverlord
* EvilTwin: In the Lord Slug movie, TheStinger reveals that he shares this relationship with the titular villain. [[spoiler: That is, ''Guru'' is the evil half.]]
* FantasticRacism: Against albino Namekians. "Kill it like the rest."
** Somewhat justified in that [[spoiler: he had them [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade wiped out]] to hide the fact that ''he'' caused the drought, not them.]]
** His racism towards Humans on the other hand? Nah, that's just Kami being [[{{Jerkass}} a dick]].
* FatBastard
* AFatherToHisMen: Subverted. [[spoiler: He admitted that he didn't like any of his people.]]
** He did admit to [[spoiler:liking one of them.]] Then a [[spoiler: Dragonball falls down and crushes the one he likes. Which causes him to laugh.]]
* AGodAmI[=/=]HypocriticalHumour: He decides that Kami is a "pretentious prick" for [[BilingualBonus calling himself]] "{{God}}"...and then decides to rename ''himself'' Super Kami Guru.
* JerkAss
** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Revealed as a ''colossal'' one when he encourages Nail to fight Freeza, telling him that he is "Namek's prodigal son". As it turns out, he is ''fully'' aware of how powerful Freeza is and that his assistant stands absolutely no chance of winning. Not to mention the fact that ''Super Kami Guru did not train him in the "New Way" that might have given him a chance of winning''.
** He ''dies'' simply because it would be "a real dick move" to kill the dragon off with him. Yes, that's right. Super Kami Guru pulled a [[InvertedTrope Jerkass]] [[HeroicSacrifice Sacrifice]].
** [[spoiler: He's Slug's ''Evil half''.]]
** [[spoiler: Caused the drought that nearly killed off every Namekian by drinking all of the water (Why do you think he's so fat?), and ''told the green Namekians that the Albino Namekians did it'', leading to the genocide of the Albino Namekian race. Needless to say, the remaining Namekians (who feel guilty about the whole thing) [[GoryDiscretionShot did not let him go easily]]...]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: ''Tried'' to invoke this by admitting ''he'' was the one that caused the drought and pinned the blame on the Albino Namekian race, just so he can die with a clear conscience. Subverted as he fails to do so, and gets ''[[GoryDiscretionShot utterly murdered]]'' by the rest of the Namekians in a way that horrifies Bulma, Gohan, ''Piccolo'' (possibly by extension, Nail) and ''Vegeta''.]]
** [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: As in the original series. This time however, it isn't as peaceful and dignified as dying of old age...]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Well, a hardly used one anyway.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: One gets the impression that he's not as stupid as he looks and just acts that way to mess with people, especially Nail.
* PetTheDog: He does seem to care about his [[spoiler:good half]] Slug as shown by his retort to Freeza "Leave my brother out of this" and when he writes Slug a letter mentioning Dragon Balls on Earth.
* [[spoiler:RegretEatingMe]]: [[spoiler:Screams "[[DayOfTheDead Choke on that]]" as the Namekians devour him in retaliation for being the cause of the drought.]]
* RetiredMonster
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The purge against the Albino Namekians was ordered by Guru because he claimed that they caused the Great Drought, when in reality ''Guru'' caused the Drought by drinking up all the water, which is how he became so fat. He reveals this as he is about to die, only to learn that he isn't dying yet, and the Namekians, horrified that they slaughtered thousands of innocent people, descend on Guru ''en masse''.]]
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* TalkingToHimself: With Dende.
* VerbalTic: Often he'll speak and the volume crescendos over the course of a single sentence, to the point where he starts speaking it in a normal voice and is yelling by the end.
* WeakenedByTheLight: As shown in Episode 22
-->"Oh, God, NATURAL LIGHT!"
----
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Megami33=]
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Vegeta.
* TheChick
* DemotedToExtra: {{Lampshaded}}
* GlamorousSingleMother: Since Vegeta went to space, [[spoiler: running away from the responsibility]], a year and a half ago.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When Yamcha contacts her from King Kai's planet, she dumps him for not contacting her in months (ignoring the fact he's dead reasoning he's doing it now so why not before?) and while talking with Yamcha invites Vegeta to her home to stay there.
** Then again, he did cheat on her back in the first episode.
* NeutralFemale: To her chagrin:
--> "Those bitches on [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek Lifetime]] might put up with it, but not me!"
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Telling Lord Slug about the Dragon Radar.
** She knew where Dr. Gero's lab was, but didn't tell her son.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: KILLING CRABS! IN THE OCEAN!
* OhCrap: When she realized she hit on her baby's future self before. Krillin founds it hilarious, though, like all of us.
* OnlySaneWoman: Like in the original, she recommends just using the Dragon Balls to simply find and kill Dr. Gero before he ever makes the androids. Naturally, this is rejected because Goku and Vegeta want to fight them.
* SlapSlapKiss: How she ends up getting together with Vegeta.
* TheTease: Spends the entire month-long trip to Namek walking around the ship in her underwear, to Krillin's chagrin.
!!Yamcha
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Vegeta3986=] (Season 1), Faulerro (Season 2)
* BringMyBrownPants: In episode 32.
* ButtMonkey / TheChewToy: ''Definitely'' more than Krillin. In the second F.A.Q. special, the characters specifically say they pick on Krillin so much because Yamcha doesn't show up as often.
--> '''Bulma''': No one screws Yamcha but life.
** It's to the point that anyone on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle is often referred to as getting "Yamcha'd."
** CharacterizationMarchesOn: Surprisingly, he used to be considered TheAce. In-universe, anyway.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Averted. He's the ''only'' one who's bothered that Vegeta, the man who is in some way responsible for most of their deaths at one point or another, is taking a shower in the next room and moving in with Bulma.
* DirtyCoward: In Episode 32 when Vegeta is laughing at him for losing to a Saibaman:
-->'''Yamcha:''' Oh, yeah? I dare you to come over here and say that!\\
''[Vegeta jumps in front of Yamcha]''\\
'''Vegeta:''' ''[Low and threatening]'' Ha. Ha. Ha.\\
'''Yamcha:''' ''[Nervously]'' See how we can all laugh together?\\
''[When Bulma is leading Vegeta to the showers]''\\
'''Yamcha:''' ''[Internal monologue]'' Yeah, you better run.
** CowardlyLion: When the Androids attacked, he had to respond to cries for help when no one else was around to help.
* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide: In Future Trunks' timeline, where he hangs himself after learning that Vegeta got Bulma pregnant.]]
* FakeUltimateHero: In the first season, the rest gets a morale boost by Yamcha simply showing up on the battle field. And then he gets one-shotted by a Saibamen.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Everyone looks down on him. Except Goku as of Episode 34, since he learned his [[DrivenToSuicide fate]] in Trunks' timeline.
* GivingUpOnLogic: When Goku starts trying to "reason" with the [[WorldTree Tree of Might]] and the tree appears to answer, Yamcha gives up in disgust.
* [[spoiler: HeroicComedicSociopathy]]: [[spoiler: Minor case, but when Goku's screaming in pain, he's shown timing how long he can go without inhaling (though after showing a lot of concern for him earlier).]]
* [[IWasYoungAndNeededTheMoney I Was Desperate And Needed The Money]]: "Cat loves food, yeah yeah yeah yeah!" And no, it wasn't worth it.
* KilledMidSentence: After giving a RousingSpeech, he's stopped at the final part when a Saibaman blows him up.
* LostInImitation: The line about Bulma thinking Yamcha was cheating in the first episode is based on Funimation DubText. In the original Japanese dialogue, Bulma is mad at Yamcha in the beginning of DBZ for canceling a date. Possibly lampshaded by Krillin.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Or rather, they never looked for it at all.
--> '''Yamcha''': Where did you bury me anyway?\\
'''Bulma''': ''Bury?''
* NoRespectGuy: To the point where you think TFS hates him.
* OneHitWonder: He sang a cat food song for a commercial since he needed the money. [[NeverLiveItDown Now everybody listens to it when Yamcha just wants to forget about it]].
-->[[EarWorm "Cat loves food, Yea-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah! Cat loves food, Yea-YEAAAAAAAH!"]]
* TheOtherDarrin: [=Vegeta3986=] no longer voices Yamcha after leaving the series. As of Episode 28, he's now voiced by Faulerro from ''WebVideo/NullmetalAlchemist''.
* PersonAsVerb: Getting Yamchaed means getting killed unceremoniously.
-->'''Goku:''' Oh no! Yamcha got Yamchaed!
* PhraseCatcher: "I don't know what this 'Yamcha' is, but it sounds..."
* RunningGag: For several episodes after [=Vegeta3986=] left TFS, whenever Yamcha is about to speak someone cuts him off, cementing his ButtMonkey status.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Goku telling him that he's his friend. He's genuinely touched by somebody ''not'' treating him like shit.
!!Tien[[note]]referred to by his Japanese name, Tenshinhan, on a few occasions[[/note]] and Chiaotzu
->'''Tien voiced by:''' Ganxingba
->'''Chiaotzu voiced by:''' Whiteash (Episode 6), [=Megami33=] (Current)
* AdaptationalBadass: Tien, if not in his fighting prowess, then in his attitude. He's the only character who can backtalk Vegeta and get away with it.
* BerserkButton: Tien is ''very'' defensive with FandomBerserkButton related matters.
-->''F*cking Weeaboos.''
* TheComicallySerious: As summed up in the abridgement of the abridged series' first season:
--> "I am the only serious character in this show. That is the joke."
** Although he did join in on "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
* DeadpanSnarker: At least when Vegeta is involved. The first thing he does when the group meets up to fight Freeza is comment on [[RealMenWearPink Vegeta's shirt]], and then spends most of episode 34 mocking Vegeta about not being a Super Saiyan. All with a straight face.
* HeHadAName:
--> "You stupid... ugly... son of a bitch! His name was CHIAOTZU!"
* HeroicSacrifice: Chiaotzu... but ended up being a SenselessSacrifice.
** In a variation from the original, Chiaotzu starts out thinking that he can just be revived by the Dragon Balls. Tien has to point out he's been revived once already... mere moments before Chiaotzu explodes.
* HeterosexualLifePartners
* HoYay: InvokedTrope As a running gag.
* InformedJudaism: Parodied in ''Christmas Tree of Might''.
* {{Jerkass}}: Chiaotzu - he takes shots at the audience in the FAQ Special and calls the Ginyus "a bunch of queers".
** Tien as well in the "Born This Way" parody--he manages to ruin the song ''and'' make Piccolo run off set crying in less than 30 seconds.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: When the fight with Nappa starts disastrously, Tien seriously considers grabbing Chiaotzu and running. Unfortunately, Chiaotzu had already gotten involved in the fight and was going for a TakingYouWithMe attack.
* ManChild: Chiaotzu is only a little younger than Tien, but begs Tien to go to [=McDonald's=] and cheers over ice cream.
* MistakenForGay: Constantly.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Tien actually likes Yamcha's "Cat loves food" song.
-->'''Tien:''' (''to Piccolo'') You heard. ''Nothing''.
* TheOtherDarrin: Chiaotzu was voiced by Whiteash in episode 6; afterward, Megami33 took over.
* SayMyName: "CHIAOTZUUUUUUUUUU!"
* TakingYouWithMe: Chiaotzu tries to do this to Nappa. It didn't work. At all.
* TeamDad: Tien, at least to Chiaotzu.
!!Chi Chi
->'''Voiced by:''' Krisrix (briefly in Season 1), Hnilmik (Current)
* AbusiveParents: Not exactly, but this little tidbit from "Christmas Tree of Might" may play on fans' suspicions:
--> '''Gohan:''' SantaClaus's just gonna bring me books again...\\
'''Chi-Chi (threateningly):''' He brings you what you like! And '''''what''''' do you like?!\\
'''Gohan (scared):''' I like books!
* AxCrazy[=/=]BewareTheNiceOnes: Though not as creepy and scary as Mr. Popo, Chi-Chi is still feared amongst the male characters, especially Krillin[[note]]he likes his penis where it is, thank you[[/note]]
--> '''Krillin:''' Hypothetically... what would you do if you were told that your husband was dead and his son was kidnapped by his worst enemy?\\
'''Chi Chi:''' I'd castrate the messenger in his sleep '''''with a rusty carving knife'''''.\\
'''Krillin:''' Ohh... [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Then, it's a good thing I'm not telling you that, then]].\\
(Both laugh in a very forced manner)\\
'''Chi Chi:''' Would you like to stay the night?
* BadassNormal: ''Lord Slug Abridged'' reminds us just ''why'' Chi-Chi is the World's Strongest Woman.
* BerserkButton: Goku's putting Gohan on train to get in fights instead of studying.
-->'''Chichi:''' Don't you "Come on Chichi" me! You were lost in God only knows in space, refuse to let the dragon took you on and the first thing you ask where you're back? "Oh hey Chichi, would you mind if I take our baby boy to train to fight some ''monster robots''"!!?
* BigWhat: Combined with DistantReactionShot. After founding that Goku and Gohan are actually going to fight the androids, her scream can be heared while the two guys and Piccolo are already flying away.
* EducationMama: "You read it, you learn it, you love it!"
* EvilSoundsDeep: She isn't evil but she was the "dark force" Gohan felt when he saw a ship coming to them, and her first words are '''"Where is MY baby!?"''' in a deep, terrifying voice after coming out.
* MyBelovedSmother: To Gohan.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Almost has one in ''Lord Slug Abridged'' when she charges into battle and takes out one of Lord Slug's mooks with the 'Housewife Style Kick Of A Thousand Menstrual Cycles'.
--> '''Chi Chi:''' You see, just because I'm a woman-''*Promptly punched in the face by another mook*''\\
'''Bulma:''' ...That actually lasted longer than I expected.
* TheOtherDarrin: Krisrix in an episode from Season 1; voiced by Hnilmik from that point onward.
* StepfordSmiler: Type C. If she asks you to stay the night, [[SchmuckBait say NO!!!]]
!!Mr. Popo
->'''Voiced by:''' Lanipator
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/popohi_4142.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[CatchPhrase Hiiiiii.]]]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Compare with the original series where even the characters treated as {{Butt Monkey}}s are stronger than him, here he's made out to be more powerful than Freeza.
** [[spoiler:This is made even more evident when he single-handedly prevents the Garlic Jr Saga from happening, by ''effortlessly killing Garlic Jr and his minions when they try to put their plan in action''. Garlic Jr is immortal too. [[UpToEleven Mr. Popo killed someone who was immortal.]]]]
** Shenron the dragon works for him. Pecking order, indeed!
* 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 Popo still has Popo feeding and being surrounded by wildlife, and Garlic Jr. tickls him off by trashing his garden.)
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Pecking order.
-->'''Mr. Popo:''' You, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, Popo's stool, Kami, then Popo.
* AxCrazy
* BlackComedyRape
-->'''Mr. Popo''': I'm terrifying and a potential rapist. But I'll never say it flat out.
* CatchPhrase: Hiiiiii.
** Pecking order.
* DarkIsEvil: He's one of the scariest people in the show, enjoys the suffering of others, and despite being possibly the most powerful person on the show, doesn't lift a finger to stop the assorted villains from wreaking havoc unless that havoc just included his marijuana patch. He's nominally on the heroes' side.
** And Creator/TeamFourStar does like to emphasize that his skin is dark:
--->'''Krillin, on Namek:''' Actually, what I meant to say was, when you make a wish on the Dragon Balls, the sky turns ''darker than the blackest void!''\\
'''Mr. Popo, on Earth:''' Hmm?
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments:
-->'''Kami:''' Mr. Popo... I believe... that Piccolo may have been slain.\\
'''Popo:''' I think [[LiteralSplitPersonality you'd know if he were]]. You still there?\\
'''Kami:''' Yes.\\
'''Popo:''' Then he ain't dead, is he, drama queen?
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: He took offense to Chiaotzu's tribute to him in the form of a costume at the Halloween party. He responded by turning into the Cloverfield Monster and going on a rampage.
* TheDreaded: When Goku, who has defeated foes with Worlds destructing abilities, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Krillin]] and even the ''creators of the series'' fear you, you are a badass.
* DrillSergeantNasty: "Shut up maggots!" and "All right, maggots, listen up!"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His reaction to finding out that he's getting new people to [[TrainingFromHell train]] is to laugh maniacally. His first actual action is to kick Krillin off of Kami's Lookout.
-->'''Mr. Popo''': [[KickTheDog Enjoy the climb back up, bitch!]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He would never torture... [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial cats]].
* EvilLaugh: Done twice. One when Kami told him Popo would be training Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, and two, when he saw Tien and Yamcha dying, in his training.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler: '''Kills Garlic Jr. before his arc even begins.''']]
* ForTheEvulz: It certainly seems like this half the time.
-->'''Vegeta''': *screaming ''Teamfourstar.com''* .COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-\\

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: As Kaiser Neko found out. And so did convention goers at an 18+ event.
* GoodCounterpart: [[Anime/DragonBallKai Blue Popo.]] He doesn't last long.
* HeroicComedicSociopath
* HumanoidAbomination: [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/254/f/1/mr__popo__s_deadly_eyes_by_khmaivietboi-d2yjspi.jpg Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Where do we even begin?
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant
* NominalHero
* OrcusOnHisThrone: He could have dealt with the whole Freeza saga by himself, but didn't feel like it.
* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Roshi offhandedly calls him "the scary genie".
* PetTheDog: When asked by Shenron if it was time to lay waste to the Earth, he decided to give the humans a couple more centuries to clean up the planet. Of course, he was high as balls at the time, which may have had something to do with it.
** Also, he replaces the sun after it is accidentally blown up in ''Revenge of Cooler''.
** According to the pecking order, the Z-Warriors (and likely everyone else in the universe) are below the dirt, which is the next most pitiful thing to him. Who is the only exception to this order? '''Kami'''. Granted, he's still below Popo, but he's higher than everyone else, including Popo's ''stool''.
* PhysicalGod: Goku blew up the sun in ''Revenge of Cooler''. Popo put it back.
* SadistTeacher: Heavy emphasis on the sadist part.
* ScaryBlackMan
* TheStoner: Apparently the only way Kami keeps him even ''slightly'' under control.
--> I'm so f***ing high right now!
* TalkingToHimself: With [[ButtMonkey Krillin]], [[JackassGenie Shenron]], and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jynx]].
* TokenEvilTeammate
!!Kami
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Vegeta3986=] (Season 1), [=WeeklyTubeShow=] (Season 2-current)
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his earlier appearances--and especially the pre-Team Four Star ''Dead Zone Abridged''--the main joke for Kami was that he was painfully old and spoke with an exaggerated wheeze. After [[TheOtherDarrin his voice actor was replaced]], he was given a more normal voice and was portrayed as a DeadpanSnarker.
* DeadpanSnarker: After he came back to life. Part 1 of episode 30 has him throwing a ''lot'' of snark at King Kai. It makes sense when you remember that [[spoiler: he ''is'' Piccolo's other half.]]
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Smokes pot with [[HumanoidAbomination Popo]]. Possibly the basis of their... friendship?
* NoRespectGuy: "You know, I am the Guardian of Earth. Can I please get a little more respect here?"
* NumberTwo: Right below Mr. Popo on the Pecking Order. Whether he's TheLancer or TheDragon depends on how you view Popo.
* TheOtherDarrin: Voiced by [=Vegeta3986=] in Season 1, and by [=WeeklyTubeShow=] afterward.
* RetiredBadass: The Z-Warriors go to receive training from Kami in preparation for fighting Vegeta and Nappa, but since he is "quite old", he leaves their training to [[SadistTeacher Mr. Popo]].
* SelectiveObliviousness: To Mr. Popo's more brutal tendencies.
** Of course, it's not like he can ''do'' anything about it. Pecking order...
* TheStoner: Apparently. He says smoking pot helps with his glaucoma.
!!King Kai
->'''Voiced by:''' [=KaiserNeko=]
* AdaptationalBadass: In the series proper, King Kai notes that Vegeta and Nappa are stronger than him and leaves it to the Z-fighters to take down the dead Ginyu Warriors to showcase his training regimen. Here he lays the smack down on the ''entire'' Ginyu squad by himself. In a CurbStompBattle offscreen
* TheAloner: He thinks he's this, but he's got plenty of (unwanted) company with Bubbles, Gregory, and Bojack.
* GrumpyOldMan
* [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY It's Pronounced "kah-ee-oh""]]: King Kai berates Yamcha for saying "Kaio-Ken" with the now-outdated English pronunciation of "Kay-oh."
* {{Jerkass}}: To Gregory, Bubbles, and Bojack at least. He's pretty short with his supposed "students", too.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Popo's mind anyway. When King Kai tried to telepathically communicate with him he got a concussion. And that's just while Popo's high as a kite. Though that might explain ''why'' he got a concussion.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "Yeah, all of you can just go straight to Hell." [[spoiler: [[DontExplainTheJoke Then he beats their spirits so hard they end up in hell.]] ]]
* [[TalkingToHimself Telling Himself to Shut Up]]: With Gregory.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Seems to be able to connect to the Internet with his antenna.
!!Dende
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Takahata101=]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: To... ''Gohan'', which is odd until you realize Namekians are a OneGenderRace, [[FridgeBrilliance so it only makes sense]] that he is attracted to males, aside Gohan was the only one who showed him some kind of respect.]]
* [[spoiler:BiTheWay: He did express a desire to [[MarsNeedsWomen nestle between Bulma's breasts]] earlier.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Rarely did his voice change from a flat tone.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: After making the wish to bring everyone on Namek save for Freeza and Goku to Earth, he reveals this fact to Freeza and taunts him about it, vanishing right before Freeza's attack can hit him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He tells Freeza that Krillin and Gohan are from Earth as payback for Krillin calling him "Little Green".
* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:When telling Vegeta to not screw with the WhiteMage, he is killed.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Does this to Vegeta in episode 26
** His own death could qualify, what with his RevengeBeforeReason and DisproportionateRetribution.
* NiceGuy: Describes himself as such. Though it's said with a heaping pile of sarcasm.
* TalkingToHimself: With Super Kami Guru and Porunga.
* TemptingFate: Apparently, no one told Freeza that "nobody fucks with the White Mage".
* TookALevelInJerkass: Dende took '''MASSIVE''' levels of jerkass-itude in Episode 25:
** He betrayed Gohan and Krillin by revealing that they're from Earth. Why? ''[[DisproportionateRetribution Because]] [[SeriousBusiness his name is "Dende"]]''.
** While he healed Krillin after he got stabbed in the chest, he also told him he was [[ShmuckBait immortal]], possibly under the hopes that Freeza would kill him while serving as a distraction. It fails, but still...
** He does respect [[spoiler:(and has a crush on)]] Gohan, though, so it's clear his behavior is largely just retaliation for Krillin's ignorance.
* UngratefulBastard: Not only does he show no gratitude to Krillin for saving and protecting him from Freeza and his forces, he actually reveals the identity of his home planet Earth to Freeza and tries to use the ButtMonkey as a distraction to lure Freeza away. All because he kept calling him "Little Green".
* WhiteMage: "Nobody f$#!s with the WhiteMage."
** Ironically, immediately after saying this, he gets f$#!ed with by Freeza. [[FamousLastWords Fatally]].
*** Then when he comes back, he proceeds to both save everyone on Namek, AND screw over Freeza at the same time. Looks like he was right.
!!Nail
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Hbi2k=]
* AscendedExtra: Unlike in the original series, here Nail retains a mind separate from Piccolo even after fusing bodies, letting him continue as a sort of recurring character.
* BeleagueredAssistant
* ButtMonkey: Guru does horrible stuff to him.
-->"Nail! I have a bitch of an itch on my left ass cheek!"
-->"So I said, 'I don't care WHO you are! Now clean my JOWLS!' And that was Nail's first day on the job."
* CasualDangerDialog: Much to Piccolo's annoyance.
* DeadpanSnarker
** ServileSnarker
* EarlyBirdCameo: Nail and Guru make a cameo in episode 5 to demonstrate a place duller than King Kai's planet.
--> '''Nail:''' "Oh, God, this is so horribly dull! I hope something exciting happens around here soon, I don't care what it is!"
** [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Cue Freeza's arrival seven episodes later...]]
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Freeza decides to have some fun with this.
* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: Before Freeza. He was excited about finally having a good argument with Vegeta.
* OnlySaneMan: Up until he fused with Piccolo.
* SharingABody: With Piccolo.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Seems to be developing this with Piccolo.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Whistling causes him intense pain, even when he's actually living inside someone else's head.
** Having super-sensitive hearing while inside the head of a guy with no indoor voice can also have it's downsides.
!!Super Kami Guru
->'''Voiced by:''' [=Takahata101=]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Like Popo, he is morally the complete opposite of Guru in the actual show.
* [[spoiler: AssholeVictim]]: [[spoiler: Especially after his revelation of what really happened to cause the Great Drought.]]
* BadBoss: '''''Yes.'''''
* TheCaligula
* CallMyName: '''NAAAAAAAIL!!!'''
* DareToBeBadass: Gives a speech like this to Nail in order to make him stand up to Freeza. Turns out he wasn't very sincere.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Gives us a preview of his quirks in episode 5.
--> '''Guru:''' "I saw a bird. It was pretty. Kick its ass."
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When Freeza makes a crack about a slug, Guru exclaims "Leave my brother out of thiiis!" as Slug is his brother and a senile nutcase could interpret the statement Freeza made as a threat toward him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Going by his scenes with Gohan and Freeza, he seems to draw the line at child molestation and judging people by their appearances. Not above using a MindScrew on the former though.
* EvilOverlord
* EvilTwin: In the Lord Slug movie, TheStinger reveals that he shares this relationship with the titular villain. [[spoiler: That is, ''Guru'' is the evil half.]]
* FantasticRacism: Against albino Namekians. "Kill it like the rest."
** Somewhat justified in that [[spoiler: he had them [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade wiped out]] to hide the fact that ''he'' caused the drought, not them.]]
** His racism towards Humans on the other hand? Nah, that's just Kami being [[{{Jerkass}} a dick]].
* FatBastard
* AFatherToHisMen: Subverted. [[spoiler: He admitted that he didn't like any of his people.]]
** He did admit to [[spoiler:liking one of them.]] Then a [[spoiler: Dragonball falls down and crushes the one he likes. Which causes him to laugh.]]
* AGodAmI[=/=]HypocriticalHumour: He decides that Kami is a "pretentious prick" for [[BilingualBonus calling himself]] "{{God}}"...and then decides to rename ''himself'' Super Kami Guru.
* JerkAss
** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Revealed as a ''colossal'' one when he encourages Nail to fight Freeza, telling him that he is "Namek's prodigal son". As it turns out, he is ''fully'' aware of how powerful Freeza is and that his assistant stands absolutely no chance of winning. Not to mention the fact that ''Super Kami Guru did not train him in the "New Way" that might have given him a chance of winning''.
** He ''dies'' simply because it would be "a real dick move" to kill the dragon off with him. Yes, that's right. Super Kami Guru pulled a [[InvertedTrope Jerkass]] [[HeroicSacrifice Sacrifice]].
** [[spoiler: He's Slug's ''Evil half''.]]
** [[spoiler: Caused the drought that nearly killed off every Namekian by drinking all of the water (Why do you think he's so fat?), and ''told the green Namekians that the Albino Namekians did it'', leading to the genocide of the Albino Namekian race. Needless to say, the remaining Namekians (who feel guilty about the whole thing) [[GoryDiscretionShot did not let him go easily]]...]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: ''Tried'' to invoke this by admitting ''he'' was the one that caused the drought and pinned the blame on the Albino Namekian race, just so he can die with a clear conscience. Subverted as he fails to do so, and gets ''[[GoryDiscretionShot utterly murdered]]'' by the rest of the Namekians in a way that horrifies Bulma, Gohan, ''Piccolo'' (possibly by extension, Nail) and ''Vegeta''.]]
** [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: As in the original series. This time however, it isn't as peaceful and dignified as dying of old age...]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Well, a hardly used one anyway.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: One gets the impression that he's not as stupid as he looks and just acts that way to mess with people, especially Nail.
* PetTheDog: He does seem to care about his [[spoiler:good half]] Slug as shown by his retort to Freeza "Leave my brother out of this" and when he writes Slug a letter mentioning Dragon Balls on Earth.
* [[spoiler:RegretEatingMe]]: [[spoiler:Screams "[[DayOfTheDead Choke on that]]" as the Namekians devour him in retaliation for being the cause of the drought.]]
* RetiredMonster
* TheReveal: [[spoiler:The purge against the Albino Namekians was ordered by Guru because he claimed that they caused the Great Drought, when in reality ''Guru'' caused the Drought by drinking up all the water, which is how he became so fat. He reveals this as he is about to die, only to learn that he isn't dying yet, and the Namekians, horrified that they slaughtered thousands of innocent people, descend on Guru ''en masse''.]]
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior
* TalkingToHimself: With Dende.
* VerbalTic: Often he'll speak and the volume crescendos over the course of a single sentence, to the point where he starts speaking it in a normal voice and is yelling by the end.
* WeakenedByTheLight: As shown in Episode 22
-->"Oh, God, NATURAL LIGHT!"
