* HourOfPower: This is the first time it's shown Shenron has an explicit time limit to how long he can be out waiting to grant a wish. Being forced to stay out excessively long while everyone argues about who gets the wish is shown to cause him great physical stress.



* WastefulWishing: Most of the wishes that the cast wants to ask Shenron are pretty inane.

* AssholeVictim: Hit's target before Goku is a crime boss that openly laughs at the ways he exploits his city. Hit has no problem killing him.


Added DiffLines:

* DeathIsCheap: Goku is killed by Hit, but he launched some energy beforehand. As intended, it hits his collapsed body and gives him the jolt needed to restart his heart. Piccolo is quite impressed by this.
* {{Foil}}: Hit's target before Goku is the opposite of the Saiyan: an unrepentant crime boss content to using dirty tricks and pleading for mercy when backed into a corner.
* HarmfulToMinors: Gohan wanted Goten to hang back, as things were getting serious. Goten didn't want to be treated like a little child and insisted on coming, only to see his father dead.

** Piccolo figures Goku has little to worry about from someone trying to kill him, but he freaks when told it's Hit.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Fighting Arale, Vegeta laments fighting "a character from an early '80s gag manga" that can defy the laws of physics for just a joke.


Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: While everyone argues with each other over who should get a wish, absolutely no one gets in the way of Gohan wanting to use one to cure Pan's fever.


Added DiffLines:

* GenreSavvy: Vegeta comes to realize that he has to fight like he's in a gag comic, as the conventional rules just don't apply in this situation. It doesn't do him much good (he gets flying soon afterwards), but he still scores his best hit by mimicking Arale's antics.
* MoodWhiplash: Gohan uses a wish to cure Pan's fever. As Pan laughs happily, everyone is moved by this sweet moment. After Gohan and Pan leave, the others resume arguing over who gets a wish.


Added DiffLines:

* WouldntHurtAChild: Goku balks at the idea of fighting a cute, little kid. He changes his mind after realizing this is Arale, as he remembers what she's capable of.
