* AttentionWhore: Cell attributes this trait to himself, telling Gohan he is a showman first and foremost.


Added DiffLines:

* BalefulPolymorph: He was turned into a candy by Majin Bū's daughter. It did nothing to stop him from fighting back.
* CameBackStrong: Not exactly a straight example; Cell was revived by a mysterious, unnamed woman, and came back about as strong as he had been. However, whatever training he'd undergone at her hands made him ''far'' stronger than he ever was.

Cell is the ultimate creation of the former Red Ribbon scientist, Dr. Gero. A culmination of the mad scientist's research, he contains the genetic material of Son Gokū, Vegeta, Piccolo, Freeza, and Cold. He was defeated by Son Gohan at the end of the Cell Games, and thought to be dead. However, seventeen years later, he was revived by a mysterious woman. With renewed vigor, and an immense increase in power, Cell has arrived on Earth with the intention to get revenge on the young Saiyan who killed him.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Official art now exists of Erasa without anything over her top, and she has a very slim build. It isn't at all indicative of her actual physical strength.

Added DiffLines:

* SemiDivine: [[spoiler: Gohan would become a Super Saiyan God against Beerus, and Videl and Erasa would acquire god ''ki'' by trainin with Whis. Thus, all three main characters would go on to become the closest thing to "demi-gods" in the ''Dragon Ball'' series.]]

* ExoticEyeDesigns: [[spoiler: When Erasa gains god ki to enhance her "Benijuzu" form, instead of black eyes in her god state, she gains crimson eyes with the pattern of concentric circles, resembling the Rinnegan from ''Naruto''.]]

* EyeColourChange: When Gohan becomes a Super Saiyan, his eyes turn greenish-blue. [[spoiler: As a Super Saiyan God, they become crimson.]]


Added DiffLines:

* EyeColourChange: [[spoiler: Two, of a different flavour. In her "Benijuzu" form, her eyes become a dark black. When she acquires the god ki to enhance the form, they instead become crimson, and gain a concentric circle pattern.]]

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The ''entire trio'' is on the receiving end of this. With Gohan, unlike in canon, the guilt of being responsible for his father's death weighs on him, even into his teenage years, having seen his younger brother grow up without a father, his mother missing her husband, and knowing he could have prevented it all. Erasa's is more tame, as she had practically no characterisation in the original canon, but the death have her mother at a young age led to a deep-rooted sadness and inability to get over it that the young woman masked with a veneer of an energetic, outgoing girl. Videl, meanwhile, basically took her general jerkishness, upgraded ''that'', and gave her entirely new things to angst about; insecurities Erasa and Gohan both, whether Erasa would continue to be her friend after Gohan was "stealing" her, her inability to process her new feelings for Gohan, and her feelings of inadequacy with martial arts after seeing Erasa learn so quickly from Gohan.

* TeenGenius: Gohan, Erasa, and Videl are all varying levels of exceedingly talented (for both their age and their species) when it comes to martial arts; Videl particularly showcasing remarkable ingenuity and tenacity, as Erasa at least had Gohan to train her completely.

Added DiffLines:

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. The entire supporting Dragon Team cast [[spoiler: that was still alive after the timeskip]], while still vastly weaker than Gohan, have managed to hone their powers and strengths over the past ten years to remain relevant. ''Piccolo'' is considered the third strongest person on the planet at the moment and this isn't a default award. [[spoiler: After the arrival of Beerus, the ''entire'' supporting cast, sans the Buu family and No. 18 go to train with Whis alongside the Trio.]]

Added DiffLines:

*WeAreTeamCannonFodder: Played with. The author considers the other characters just as valid of existences as the Saiyans the main characters, but the Dragon Team's ''only'' big moments have been serving as cannon fodder in the ''Erased Chronicles''. Every time they get a moment to shine, it is still merely to stall for the sake of the main characters, but they ''do not go down'' quietly.

* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Downplayed to an extent but still present. The most obvious, perhaps, is Erasa, who is by far the sweetest person on the story, and is for all intents and purposes meant to come across as average. She's level-headed, reasonable, easy to get along with and has only really lost her temper once. Videl, pre-CharacterDevelopment, has a mean streak the size of East Texas, and it lead to her becoming a villain temporarily until she came to her senses, and even then, she's still least even-tempered of the three. Gohan, meanwhile, is a kind man but is not to be trifled with; while he doesn't take joy in harming others, he ''will'' lay into anyone who harms his friends, but otherwise serves as the buffer between the two personalities.

* BadassCrew: The PowerTrio consists of a half-Saiyan who was known for his immense power as an ''infant'', and to staggeringly talented martial artists who, despite everything are just Earthlings in the end. And they manage to go toe to toe with some of the biggest threats in the Universe. [[spoiler: After the timeskip, they all acquire god ''ki'' and become even more badass as a result.]]

* RedisHeroic: The ''one'' colour the group has in common is red; with Videl, it is her naturally ''ki'' colour, and at first was usedd to exemplify her evil nature. When she finally chilled out, the colour didn't change. [[spoiler: Erasa and Gohan each have read associated with a transformation; Erasa with her main transformation and Gohan with Super Saiyan God, and both characters are as heroic as can be.]]

* InterclassFriendship: Videl is obscenely rich, Erasa is upper middle-class, and Gohan literally *lives in the woods*.

* FireForgedFriends: Erasa and Videl were friends since they were children, but Videl's own insecurities damaged their friendship around the start of the story. It was the entirety of the Majin Bū debacle that reaffirmed their friendship, and it was this same incident that allowed Gohan and Videl to finally get on even terms enough to be called "friends".

* PowerTrio: Gohan, Erasa, and Videl serve as the main trio of the series, a stark contrast to ''Dragon Ball Super'', which focuses solely on the duo of Son Gokū and Vegeta. The trio is a group of friends (and later rivals), and are the three main characters of the ''Erased Chronicles''.

Added DiffLines:

**Videl is by far the id; she is ruled by her passion and desires, and is by far the most hotblooded of the Trio, with a recklessness that has led to more than one bad occasion in the story.
**Gohan, simply by his nature, would be the superego; he is the most intelligent of the main Trio, and applies logic and reasoning towards his actions. It could also be said, however, that he defaults into this position ''because'' Videl exists, as Gohan isn't above rash behaviour when his Saiyan power runs away with him.
**Erasa is the ego, serving as the balance between Gohan and Videl in the Trio. As Videl's best friend and Gohan's girlfriend ([[spoiler:and later wife]]), she has a large amount of influence over both individuals. She is personally involved in bring Videl to heel, and is part of Gohan's motivation for continuing to develop as a person.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Much like Gohan, by the time the main story begins, one of Erasa's parents has passed away — in her case, her mother. The loss of her mother left her in a rut for years, and it was only with Gohan's presence in her life that she began to make critical steps to move forward.

Added DiffLines:

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: The ''Erased Chronicles'' has the main arc truly begin after the Cell Games — meaning Gokū has been dead for seven years by the start of the story. Gokū's death is a major personal weight on Gohan that never truly resolves itself until Gohan fully steps into Gokū's shoes as the saviour of Earth.
