9	What first seemed like an easy victory for Goku over Android 19 turns into a disaster as the Saiyan has a heart attack, having refused to take the medicine Trunks gave him. Suddenly, it appears that the Z-Fighters are helpless, until a surprising savior appears - Vegeta is back, and he's a Super Saiyan!
10
11	----
12	!!Tropes... mostly...
13	* BadassBoast: "Tell me, Android, do you feel fear?"
14	* BlatantLies: Vegeta makes a badass claim that he did push-ups, sit-ups, and drank plenty of juice to finally become a Super Saiyan. A flashback shows the truth.
15	-->'''Vegeta:''' I wanna! I wanna be a Super Saiyan! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna!.
16	* CallBack: A couple with hilarious results.
17	** When Android 19 fails to dodge Goku's attacks, Gero demands to know how dodging could be so difficult. Piccolo then gives Gohan a DeathGlare.
18	** Vegeta repeatedly screams, "[[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Mine!]]" as he's approaching the fight scene.
19	** Once again, Vegeta throws a dog biscuit at someone's severed head.
20	* CurbStompBattle: Goku is initially dishing out one against Android 19 until he uses the kamehameha against it, which horribly backfires due to 19's EnergyAbsorption and his heart condition leaving him so weak that 19 almost kills him until Vegeta shows up. Vegeta dishes out an even more one-sided one against 19 than in canon, which only lasts five moves.
21	* DefensiveWhat: When Dr. Gero complains about dodging being a separate subroutine for Android 19, Piccolo [[RunningGag looks back silently at Gohan]]. Gohan responds with this.
22	* HypocriticalHumor: After spending most of the episode tossing senzu beans at people, Krillin is surprised when Vegeta asks for one.
23	** When Dr. Gero complains about dodging being a subroutine for Android 19, keeping in mind that ''he was likely the one who programmed said subroutine''.
24	* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Yamcha offers to take Goku home for the medicine, invoking this trope.
25	-->'''Yamcha:''' Let's be honest. If I stay, I'll probably just get in the way.\
26	'''Tien:''' Yep.\
27	'''Piccolo:''' Probably.\
28	'''Gohan:''' No offense.\
29	'''Vegeta:''' Why are you even here?!\
30	''({{beat}} over on Yamcha looking hurt)''\
31	'''Krillin:''' '''[[RunningGag SENZU BEAN!]]''' ''(Throws a bean at Yamcha, hitting him on the cheek.)''\
32	'''Yamcha:''' You know what? [[{{Foreshadowing}} Have fun]]. ''(Flies off with Goku over his shoulder.)''
33	* IncomingHam: Vegeta.
34	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: While not outright stated like in canon, Vegeta implies with his screaming of "MINE" that he isn't allowing anybody else to kill Goku.
35	* PreAsskickingOneLiner: After No-Selling a punch from 19, Vegeta starts this before decimating him for the rest of the episode.
36	--> '''Vegeta:''' Hmm, what a shame... Looks like you just initiated your self-destruct sequence. Let me give you a countdown...
37	* PureIsNotGood: Gohan believed that one has to be "pure of heart" to become a Super Saiyan. Vegeta claims it was because he was a "pure, unadulterated badass"[[note]]In the anime/manga, he claims it was because he was "pure evil"[[/note]]. Tien mocked his claim, saying it was more because of his "pure, unadulterated ego".
38	* RunningGag: "SENZU BEAN!"
39	* ShoutOut:
40	** The title of the episode references a popular lyric by Music/SouljaBoy. It also refers to a comment made by Vegeta during his fight with Freeza in the previous season.
41	** Vegeta swoops in to save Goku [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo by repeatedly yelling "MINE MINE MINE"]].
42	** Vegeta wonders if there is [[WesternAnimation/BigHero6 an advantage of building a fat robot]]. He believes there is but can't see it.
43	** 19's final words are a reference to the Winrar software, which has a 40-day trial period (as opposed to 30), yet one can continue using it indefinitely (and nobody knows why).
44	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Averted insofar as Dr. Gero makes his getaway while Vegeta relishes his win over Android 19.
45	-->'''Vegeta:''' Ahh, now that we have Chuckles the Assclown out of the picture, how about we tend to the elderly-- (''notices he's gone'') THE F*CK'D HE GO?!
46	* TooDumbToLive: Goku cannot figure out why he is having heart attack-like symptoms, despite ''eating bacon on the way to the fight.'' Not to mention he refused to take the entire heart medicine because it was grape flavored (which he hates).
47	-----
48	-->'''Vegeta:''' [[TheStinger Baldy, pass me a senzu bean]].\
