6
7!!It's just space tropes. Such majestic creatures:
8* BigDamnHeroes: Gohan and Krillin fly in, ambush Dodoria and hit [[spoiler:her]] hard enough to stun [[spoiler:her]] before booking it with Dende.
9** Before that, the three Namekian warriors are this to Freeza's soldiers, but are then wasted by Dodoria.
10* CallBack: In Episode 10, when Goku used the Solar Flare on Vegeta, he compared it to "walking in on Freeza in the shower". The image as described appears here [[FreezeFrameBonus for a split second]] when Krillin uses the Solar Flare on Dodoria.
11* ColdBloodedTorture: Freeza mentioned killing everyone in another village and torturing the information out of that village's elder.
12* DelegationRelay: Freeza's orders to attack the incoming Namekian warriors.
13-->'''Freeza:''' Zarbon, give the command.\
14'''Zarbon:''' Dodoria, give the command.\
15'''Dodoria:''' Get 'em.
16* DiscriminateAndSwitch: Krillin's FunWithAcronyms for Freeza has Gohan turning his head in shock. When Gohan learns what it stands for, he admits he assumed Krillin took a homophobic jab at Freeza's appearance, Krillin is shocked that he's actually a male.
17* DynamicEntry: Once Gohan drops his PrecisionFStrike, he hits Dodoria completely unawares, and Krillin swiftly extracts Dende.
18-->'''Dodoria:''' Did I just get hit by a bowl cut?
19* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Freeza introduces himself as affable right before ordering his men to "demonstrate" an act where his men play a group of drunken sailors and the Namekians are a bunch of baby seals. I.e, killing a few of the villagers ForTheEvulz.
20* FunWithAcronyms: Krillin turns the word FAG into one: "Freaky Alien Genotype."
21* MoodWhiplash: Goku proclaims it to be "[[ItsTheBestWhateverEver the best day ever]]" after finding out from Dr. Brief that he is almost done with a spaceship he was building as a backup to follow Kami's ship to Namek. Then it does a SmashCut back to Namek, where the three Namekian warriors have all been wasted by Dodoria.
22* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: Defied when Freeza reveals that he keeps a tally of how many heroic lines he's heard.
23* NobodyHereButUsBirds: To keep Dodoria from noticing them, Krillin yells "QUACK!" over and over.
24-->'''Dodoria:''' Oh, just a space duck. What a majestic creature.
25* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Freeza mocks the Namekian warriors when they start saying lines he's heard before his arrival. To wit:
26** "We're here to stop this senseless slaughter of our people!" Freeza heard that 92 times.
27** "This has gone on for too long! And now, you're going to pay!" 355 times.
28** "We are the ones who will stop you!" 419.
29** "You insane bastard!" 190 times.
30** "We're going to f**k your face!" 12 times.
31** "That wasn't part of our deal!" 500.
32--->'''Freeza:''' Dodoria, show them what they've won!
33* PrecisionFStrike: Two:
34** One of the Namekian warriors who comes to help fight against Freeza has this to say when trying to say something Freeza hadn't already heard:
35--->'''Namekian Warrior:''' We're gonna... f**k your face!\
36'''Freeza:''' ''[impressed]'' Oh-ho-ho, my! ''[smugly]'' 12.
37** Gohan's RageBreakingPoint includes this gem:
38--->'''Krillin:''' Breathe, Gohan! You're a leaf! A leaf in a calm stream--\
39'''Gohan:''' F**K THE STREAM!
40* PreemptiveDeclaration: Dodoria drops a one-liner when the Namekian warriors claim to have the numbers advantage, right before instantly killing one.
41-->'''Warrior:''' There's three of us, and one of you!
42-->'''Dodoria:''' Man, you must suck at math even worse than me.
43-->'''Warrior:''' What do you mean?
44-->'''Dodoria:''' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner There's only two of you]]''.
45* RunningGag: This episode sets up several, including Krillin quacking like a duck when in danger (purportedly as a distraction), and the Muffin Button.
46* SchmuckBait: Dr. Briefs tells Goku under no circumstances that he is to push the START BUTTON to the ship. Naturally, Goku pushes it the minute he leaves.
47* ShoutOut: "Whoa, those [Dragon Balls] are huge! Music/{{ACDC}} be damned!"[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke This is a reference to the AC/DC song]] "[[Music/DirtyDeedsDoneDirtCheap Big Balls]]".[[/note]]
48* StayInTheKitchen: Dr. Briefs is characterized as a chauvinist with very old-timey views on the role of women in marriage regarding Panchy.
49-->'''Dr. Brief:''' Remember what I told you, sweetie:\
50'''Dr. Brief''' and '''Panchy:''' "Wives are for kissing, not talking."
51* TemptingFate: Freeza mentions that they weren't losing anything valuable while his mooks were being killed. Cue the elder Namekian destroying all of the scouters, which are needed to locate the other villages.
52* WeHaveReserves: When Dodoria notes that the Namekian warriors are killing their mooks, Freeza casually notes that they have plenty more back at the ship.
53* WouldHurtAChild: Freeza has Dodoria murder the elder's son right in front of him. After killing the elder, Freeza has Dodoria try to kill Dende next.
