1	->"Good Lord, I traded Vegeta for this?"
2	-->--Freeza gives his first impression with Goku's stupidity
3
4	!!!Original Airdate: March 23, 2012
5	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tfs_28.png]]
6	[[caption-width-right:300:Need we remind you that Goku didn't have many brain cells to work with in the first place?]]
7	Finally, it's time for Goku to battle Freeza! At first, the two seem evenly matched, but how long will the tyrant's patience stand Goku's complete idiocy?
8
9	!!These tropes aren't good at all...
10	* AccidentalInnuendo: InUniverse, after Freeza causes a dormant volcano to erupt under Goku, the Saiyan yells out "My butt is flaming!", causing Freeza to comment on how much he misses [[CampStraight Zarbon]].
11	* AlasPoorVillain: Defied. It seems like the dying Vegeta might incur this, but quickly admits he'd still be evil even if Freeza had not enslaved his race. [[note]]Also a subtle TakeThat to the inital Funimation English dub, which somewhat depicted Vegeta to be a sympathetic villain who became evil because of Freeza's abuse. In truth, the Saiyans have always been depicted as savage warriors/mercenaries ''before'' Freeza's family arrived on Planet Vegeta. The prince begged Goku to defeat Freeza only to restore the Saiyans' pride.[[/note]]
12	-->'''Vegeta:''' (to Goku) If this situation were reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, and I'd be laughing. Ahaha-ah, it hurts to laugh.
13	* AskAStupidQuestion:
14	-->'''Goku:''' Vegeta! Are you alright?\
15	'''Vegeta:''' [-I HAVE... A F*CKING... HOLE IN MY CHEST!-]
16	* BrickJoke: Upon Goku telling his vision of a naked Vegeta that he didn't have to lose his clothes when he died, Vegeta angrily expresses annoyance with "that lying red motherf*cker!" TheStinger has King Yemma ordering new arrivals to strip, being particularly impressed by Recoome's...''package''.
17	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Freeza's VillainousBreakdown is mostly triggered by Goku misinterpreting Freeza's DeadpanSnarker one-liners.
18	* FreudianExcuseDenial: Vegeta clarifies in his plea to Goku to avenge him that he's not blaming his evil on Freeza's orders.
19	-->'''Goku:''' I understand now. If it weren't for Freezer you wouldn't be--\
20	'''Vegeta:''' Dying? No.\
21	'''Goku:''' I was gonna say "evil".\
22	'''Vegeta:''' [[BluntNo Oh, no!]] I'd ''definitely'' still be evil!
23	* NearDeathExperience: While Goku is being drowned by Freeza, he loses consciousness, and is visited by Vegeta, who is now naked. It's here that it's established that King Yemma tries to make newly-deceased souls strip when being sorted. After this, Goku gets his HeroicSecondWind and escapes Freeza's clutches.
24	* OhCrap:
25	** Vegeta's last words can be summed up as this upon realizing that [[IdiotHero Goku]] is [[TheLastOfHisKind the last remaining [pure-blooded] Saiyan]].
26	** Goku also does a "Kaio-crap!" when Freeza {{No Sell}}s a 20xKaioken Kamehameha.
27	* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Freeza's threat before their fight falls flat because Goku is... well... ''Goku''.
28	-->'''Goku''': I have to stop you! You're a heartless monster who kills everyone in his way... even children!
29	--> '''Freeza''': Oh please, everyone's always on about the children. I already tried leaving them alive, but all they do is grow up under my rule or dedicate their pathetic lives to revenge. Usually both. Really, killing them is a kindness. I can retract that kindness if you wish. But then who's the villain?
30	-->'''Goku''': Y-You.
31	--> '''Freeza''': N-No. That was a rhetorical question.
32	-->'''Goku''': And I gave you a rhetorical answer.
33	--> '''Freeza''': Good Lord, I traded Vegeta for this?
34	* RunningGagged: The Kaioken/"Kaio-what?" gag is put to rest (excepting an occasion in ''World's Strongest Abridged'' which is supposed to take place before this) when Freeza {{No Sell}}s a 20xKaioken Kamehameha and replies "No, seriously, Kaio-what?".
35	* TooDumbToLive: Freeza considers Goku's attempt to fight him alone a "gutless" move. "How is it gutless?", Goku asks.
36	-->'''Freeza''': Because suicide is the coward's way out.
37	-->'''Goku''': Can we fight now?
38	-->'''Freeza''': Son of a-YES!!!
39	* VillainousBreakdown: Just like Vegeta on Earth, what really gets Freeza nettled is Goku's stupidity.
40	* YouKilledMyFather: Freeza tells Goku that every single child he's spared during his conquests either grows up in slavery or falls into this trope.

42	----
43	->'''Freeza:''' No, seriously, Kaio-what?\
44	'''Goku:''' [[OhCrap Kaio-crap]]!\
