* OnlySaneMan: Poor Dr. Wheelo doesn't see why they have to jump through so many hoops and antagonize the Z-warriors just to get him a body. Unfortunately, he's a brain in a jar and only finds out he has a powerful exoskeleton when he finally has enough of from Kochin's idiocy and villainy.

* StupidEvil: Kochin. He is a CardCarryingVillain but even putting that aside he's an idiot. He insists on getting the strongest body for Dr. Wheelo, even though Wheelo isn't picky about what body he has. He keeps rejecting perfectly good bodies because he somehow doesn't think to use them (the Biomen) or because they don't have a penis (Bulma and Piccolo). When Goku, Krillen, and Gohan do break into the control room of the lab, rather than trying to talk things out like Wheelo wanted, he orders the brainwashed Piccolo to kill them for no reason.

* CallBack: After revealing the name's of the new Bio-Warriors, Kochin mentions that he's fighting someone on the trademark for the "Freezer" name. Naturally when Kochin mentions Freezer's name on the speakers while said Bio-Warrior is freezing Goku, the latter then states it sounds familiar before having his train of thought derailed by his entire body freezing. Furthermore, after defeating Bouncy Butcher, Goku says he's going to deck the next guy he sees and then immediately punches Freezer in the nose, not unlike what he said he'd do to Freeza.

Dr. Wheelo, a completely normal scientist by ''Dragon Ball'' standards, has passed away from cancer, but his assistant Dr. Kochin has saved his brain. Wheelo wants a body again, and the moronically evil Kochin decides to get one for him ... but determines that it should be from a) the strongest warrior, and b) someone with a penis (against Wheelo's protests that any would do). This of course brings him into conflict with the Z-fighters, who are prime candidates for said strongest warrior (with the exception of Piccolo, who is Namekian and therefore doesn't have genitalia). He has his saiba- sorry, ''bio''men kidnap Master Roshi for the purpose, but unfortunately, he's been a victim of PowerCreepPowerSeep recently.
