1	->"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"
2	-->--'''Future Trunks''', internally after [[RelativeError Bulma flirted with him]]
3
4	!!!Original Airdate: March 23, 2013
5	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dbza_33.png]]
6	[[caption-width-right:300:It only took half an episode for Trunks to slay Freeza and his dad. He probably wishes it had taken about three minutes longer.]]
7
8	Freeza's revenge is halted by a mysterious stranger--who can turn Super Saiyan! After routing the invading aliens, the stranger invites the Z-fighters to meet up with Goku. Who is this hero, and does he have enough Hetap?
9
10	!!We're here to kill tropes!
11	* BadBoss: As usual, Freeza doesn't care about his minions. When they are terrified of Trunks, he motivates them by saying, "Either die to him, or die to me!" When Trunks kills all of them except one, Freeza kills the last one.
12	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Trunks says that he can guess the Z-Fighters are wondering why he brought them to the location Goku's going to arrive at. Krillin guesses "snacks," Yamcha guesses "to kill us," and Vegeta guesses "to kill snacks."
13	* CallBack:
14	** Trunks, much like King Cold did with "Earth" in the previous episode, mispronounces a word in a name that someone corrects. In Cold's case, he pronounces Earth as "Ee-arth," while Trunks pronounces the silent "i," basing it off of [[BarelyChangedDubName Freeza's westernized name from the Funimation dub]], making it sound like "Fry-za".
15	** When Freeza flashes back to Super Saiyan Goku, the flash includes Goku whispering, "''Pizza...''"
16	** When Freeza thinks he's killed Trunks, his [[ElectronicSpeechImpediment glitch]] causes him to refer to Trunks as "cadaveriffic," the same term the reporters made up for Yamcha after he got killed back in Season 1.
17	** When Trunks slices Freeza up and blasts him, Krillin says "and there, and there" just like he did when Chiaotzu blew himself up during the Saiyan Saga.
18	* CurbStompBattle: Freeza and King Cold don't end up providing much of a challenge for Trunks.
19	* DeliciousDistraction: Vegeta is pulled out from his musing on who the newcomer is by the realization that they've run out of Hetap.
20	* DoomedDefeatist: After the chuckle produced by the EarAche moment, Krillin snaps back to (what they all perceived to be) reality.
21	-->'''Krillin:''' (''sigh'') We're gonna f*cking die.
22	* DullSurprise: Freeza describes his mecha form as "the ultimate culmination of science and nature." Trunks, having spent most of his life fighting the future versions of Androids 17 and 18[[note]](actually humans converted into Cyborgs)[[/note]], isn't impressed.
23	* EarAche: Done, and {{Discussed}}. Bulma grabs Yamcha by the ear when he says she shouldn't be there with Freeza having arrived.
24	-->'''Bulma:''' Anyone want to explain to Yamcha here what ten pounds of torque does to a human ear?\
25	'''Gohan:''' Rips it off?\
26	'''Bulma:''' Very good, Gohan.
27	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: This is Freeza's fate once more, right before getting chopped into little bits and vaporized.
28	* LadyDrunk: Bulma. Upon being told there's beer along with Hetaps:
29	-->'''Bulma:''' Hey, it was 5 o'clock 20 hours ago! ''(knocks back a beer)''
30	* MookDepletion: King Cold tells Freeza that they are out of mooks, leaving no one to fly them off planet. He forbids him from driving because that is exactly what the mooks are assigned to.
31	* RelativeError: Bulma briefly flirts with Future Trunks, completely unaware that he's really her son from the future. This greatly alarms Future Trunks, though he does his best to contain his horror.
32	* ScreamingAtSquick: Trunks does this internally to [[SurpriseIncest Bulma flirting with him]].
33	* ShoutOut:
34	** Right before tossing his [[EarthShatteringKaboom Death Ball]] at Trunks, Freeza, in full-blown VillainousBreakdown mode, yells "KILL! MURDER! DESTROY! [[Series/DoctorWho EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!]]" To complete the reference, the Daleks' {{Leitmotif}} plays as this goes on.
35	** Trunks blocks the aforementioned Death Ball and brings it back up to the surface to the opening score from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''.
36	** Krillin invokes [[Film/TheThreeStooges Curly]] when Vegeta says that he's going to kill whoever drank the last Hetap. This is also a CallBack to [[Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedE11 Episode 11]].
37	* ShinyNewAustralia: When begging for his life, King Cold offers Trunks two planets... then three... then two and a half.
38	-->'''Trunks:''' You just went down.\
39	'''King Cold:''' I'm a haggler?
40	* ViewerNameConfusion: An in-universe example, where Trunks mispronounces Freeza's name, using [[DubNameChange the westernized form of his name "Frieza" from the Funimation dub]] as a guide, which comes off sounding more like "Fry-za". Freeza corrects him.
41	-->'''Freeza''': Actually, it's Lord "''Free-za''".\
42	'''Trunks''': Really? Then why is there an "i" in it?\
43	'''Freeza''': There ''isn't''.\
44	'''Trunks''': Huh. Gonna have to fix that one when I get back, then.
45	* StayInTheKitchen: Yamcha doesn't think Bulma should be involved with the rest of the Z-Warriors to confront Freeza, since "a battlefield is no place for a lady". Granted, it's only a downplayed example as he's simply concerned for her safety despite their bad breakup. That said, not only is Bulma having none of it (see EarAche), but Vegeta insults him by saying ''he's'' still going.
46	* TakeThat: When Mecha Freeza reads the opening disclaimer, he suddenly malfunctions when saying "''Anime/DragonBallGT''," prompting King Cold to finish the disclaimer, after which, Freeza, [[ElectronicSpeechImpediment keeping to his Abridged self's mecha form]], recovers with "-''[[WebAnimation/DragonBallAbsalon Absalon]]''"
47	* TraumaButton: Freeza completely loses it when he sees Trunks transform into a Super Saiyan, reminding him of Goku.
48	* TranquilFury: King Cold seems utterly furious after witnessing his son annihilated by the mysterious Super Saiyan, but calms down.
49	-->'''Kind Cold:''' You ''murdered'' my ''princess! (inhales sharply)'' Oh, well. You win some, you lose some.\
50	'''Trunks:''' ...''Children''?\
51	'''King Cold:''' Yeah.\
52	'''Trunks:''' Okay... Sorta thought you'd be a little more pissed.\
53	'''King Cold:''' ''(genially)'' Oh, ''blindingly'' so!
54	* TheUnSmile: Trunks polite smile while talking to Bulma turns rather strained while he's screaming internally.
55	* VillainousBSOD: Turned into a LiteralMetaphor. After Future Trunks cuts him in half, it cuts to Freeza's view just as in the anime, which flips to an actual Windows blue screen. That then is what splits into two halves sliding askew.
56	-----
57	->"GUYS WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME FREEZER'S HERE AND--"\
58	(''sees everyone cheering him, and no sign of Freeza'')\
