** In a meta sense, this can be seen as a bit of an apology from the TFS crew for helping popularize the "Goku is a bad husband/father" perception in the Western fanbase, showing that in the end, Goku loves his family and does right by them.

*** Speaking of which, if you look on Videl's wall, you can see a Harry Potter poster, meaning Mr. Satan not only wasn't fibbing about her being a fan, but also clearly shows he's close to his daughter and she's rubbed off on him.

** After Yamcha makes an IncrediblyLamePun over Cell's torso, Tien for once decides [[ThrowTheDogABone he is going to let him have his moment.]] Sure, Vegeta [[YankTheDogsChain ruins it seconds later]], but at least he tried.

'''Yamcha:''' Oh, uh... thank you, man.
** To add a little more context: He did this after hearing Yamcha would commit suicide in the future after finding out Bulma was pregnant with Vegeta's child. Given that his reaction to the idea of Freeza killing all of Goku's friends was [[DeathIsCheap "The dragon wouldn't be happy 'bout that one!"]], that means a lot.
*** Especially since he must realize [[FridgeBrilliance the dragon wouldn't be able to bring back someone]] [[FridgeHorror who didn't want to come back.]]
*** There's also the fact that he struggled to remember the details of when the androids showed up, but clearly remembered what happened to Yamcha and acted a soon as he could to try and prevent it.
*** What makes this more poignant is that this is the first episode Goku and Yamcha interact on screen and the first time Yamcha is treated well by someone he calls a friend.
** Listen to Yamcha's reaction to it as well. After suffering as TheChewToy for so long, he was legitimately touched.
** Jump forward three years. Everyone's together just before the androids are set to appear. Bulma has a baby that everyone knows is Vegeta's. At worst, he seems annoyed that everyone assumes the kid couldn't possibly be his. Seems like Goku really helped back there.

** As confirmed by the crew in the episode's commentary, the "Ghost" that hits ChiChi with the book was in fact Grandpa Gohan trying to protect Goku. Even after all that's happened, he loves his adoptive son unconditionally here as well.

Sure, she is still a bit overprotective telling Gohan that “all girls lie and he will never grow up to her” and she prepares him lunch because “Public Schools and Prision have the circular food chain supply”, but it’s a huge step that she allows him to attend a normal high school.
