2	"Ed Edd 'n' Eddy Z" is a flash animated series created by [=SSJ5G=]. The series is a {{cross over}} between the worlds of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and a style and plot that bears great similarity to ''Anime/DragonballZ'', in which the Eds find out that they're Saiyans and meet with two cousins named Drew and Corey. Through training (and coming to terms with their true heritage), their strength, speed, and stamina become much greater, and they soon learn to use their powers to become protectors of the world.

4	Although some may think it's an odd idea to mix a show like Ed Edd 'n' Eddy with Dragon Ball Z, it ultimately manages to ''work,'' as the show manages to combine Ed Edd 'n' Eddy's [[BreakingTheFourthWall Fourth Wall breaking banter]] and Dragon Ball Z's epic battles and moments, and the result being a series with a cult following with over 50 episodes, multiple fan-made specials, and one feature movie.

7	----
8	!!The series provides examples of:
9	* AdaptationalVillainy: [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls The Powerpuff Girls and their father Professor Utonium]] were originally heroes who cared about each other, Townsville and the world. Here, they are antagonists, the formers killing the latter, destroying Townsville and planning to destroy the world, their only redeeming quality left being their love toward each other.
10	* AffablyEvil:
11	** Bubbles to an extent, as she kept traits from her original canon counterpart. She still loves animals and when a human inadvertently frightens birds, she kills him.
12	** Blossom is genuinely polite and formal to her enemies, offering them the opportunity to retreat after they killed Professor Utonium, but she is also FauxAffablyEvil, mocking them in the same tone and being just as enthusiastic as her sisters at the thought of destroying them.
13	* AIIsACrapShoot: The Powerpuff Girls [[spoiler:kill Professor Utonium, and]] go on a rampage to destroy all of Townsville.
14	* AlternateHistory: Being a crossover, this is to be expected.
15	* ArchEnemy:
16	** Professor Utonium toward the Saiyans, more specifically toward the Cousin Trio, as they were on opposing sides during the School Wars.
17	** Eddy and Blossom share a mutual hatred of one another, such that Eddy was more than willing to settle the score with her alone.
18	* ArtEvolution: The series started off with crude recolors and edits of DBZ sprites and mediocre animation, but over time the animation quality improved.
19	* AvengingTheVillain: This partly becomes Blossom and Buttercup's motives when Bubbles is killed by the Genkidama, and then Blossom's alone when Corey kills Buttercup.
20	* AwesomeYetImpractical:
21	** Drew can combine his FSSJ with the power of the Inner Gates to augment his strength, but doing so burns his ki out much faster and nearly kills him.
22	* AxCrazy: Buttercup is way too eager to kill anything breathing in the vicinity.
23	* BadassDecay: InUniverse example with the Eds at the start of the Inheritance Saga. While they're still powerful fighters, they've been slacking off on their training for the past two years since the Powerpuff Girls were destroyed.
24	* BeamOWar: Nearly every fight in the series has this. It's a Dragon Ball Z crossover, what did you expect?
25	* BloodKnight: One of the reasons the Powerpuff Girls killed Professor Utonium is because he wanted to kill the defeated E-Fighters straight away, though the Powerpuff Girls wanted them to retreat, recover and come back stronger to give them a better fight.
26	* BreakingTheFourthWall: It ain't Ed Edd 'n' Eddy without it.
27	** Eddy [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the similarity the show has with WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ and it's FandomRivalry.
28	** NoFourthWall: There have been occasions where the series completely obliterated the fourth wall altogether, although this problem has been somewhat mitigated in later sagas.
29	* CameBackStrong: The Saiyans' Zenkai allow for this.
30	* ClusterFBomb: The Heritage and Chaos Sagas are '''notorious''' for this.
31	* CurbStompBattle: Most of the more intense fights in the series have multiple fighters going after one character. This is used to either show how powerful said character is when they can destroy the fighters by themselves, or to show off the strength of the fighters' new forms, such as Master Emerald (ME for short) Saiyan or False Super Saiyan (FSSJ).
32	* DeadpanSnarker: Eddy, and on occasion, Double D.
33	* DemonicSpiders: Every once in a while, a Mook will show up and give the fighters a challenge...only for them to turn out to be a warm-up for the actual Big Bad.
34	* {{Determinator}}: If there's one thing all of our main characters have in common, it's this. They won’t quit fighting until they drop dead.
35	* DidntThinkThisThrough: On several occasions, Eddy has tried rushing an enemy without employing any plan or tactic at all. It works just as well as you'd expect.
36	* FighterMageThief: Each of the Eds all have a certain fighting style that relates to their personality.
37	** Ed is The Fighter. He is physically the strongest of the three and has the hardest hitting strikes, but is usually much more slower than the rest of the Eds.
38	** Double D is The Mage. He has the greatest manipulation of Ki, being the one with the largest variety of techniques, but is the weakest physically.
39	** Eddy is The Thief. He's the quickest of all of them and usually employs HitAndRunTactics against his opponents. Sonic remarks in Episode 13 that Eddy's speed is one-tenth of his, and considering that was early in the series, it's unknown how fast he can go now.
40	* {{Expy}}:
41	** Shadow crippling his own team’s chances at beating the Powerpuff Girls so that he can deal with them himself and his pride getting in the way is all too familiar with Vegeta. Ironically enough, although he has the same sprites and hair as Vegeta, Zach is nearly the opposite of him in terms of personality. With only one battle, he becomes fast friends with the Eds.
42	** Drew uses similar sprites as Goku, but he’s more in line with Goku’s dad, Bardock. Both are the team’s tacticians in battle, both are aggressive in combat yet friendly to their allies, and both have similar color palettes (green and black).
43	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Played with. Sometimes it's subtly given; other times, the foreshadowing is ''literally'' flashing in the viewer's face.
44	* GoddamnedBats: The seemingly endless armies of androids that come after our heroes qualify as this, since they serve little purpose other than to distract them.
45	* HealingFactor: A lot of the enemies and villains the cast encounters have this ability, with the only way to ensure their defeat is the total destruction of any and all trace of them.
46	* HealingHands: Tailsko.
47	* InsistentTerminology: Played with. [[spoiler: When Ed becomes a Super Saiyan in his fight against Anti-Corey, Silver makes a point of distinguishing the differences between Ed and his true personality, the Storm. What sets them apart is that the ''Storm'' is actually the one who can become a Super Saiyan, not Ed.]]
48	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even though he’s fighting to protect the world, Eddy's still as impulsive and arrogant as he always was. But despite that, it’s shown that he does greatly care for his friends and family.
49	** Drew may also qualify in his behavior toward the Sonic characters.
50	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. In the Chaos Saga, Corey has a brief fit of rage in which he fires a full-power Kamehameha meant to end the fight between the E-Fighters and the Sonic characters. [[spoiler: Just before it impacts Angel Island, it suddenly careens toward the Master Emerald, shattering it and setting Chaos loose.]]
51	* PutOnABus: At the end of the PPG Saga, [[spoiler: Corey, Drew, and Zach are all drafted into the war effort in space by Zukai and Brandon.]]
52	* RapidFireFisticuffs: Naturally, as it's based on Dragon Ball Z, plenty of fists go flying in this.
53	* SplitPersonality: Ed suffers from this when he started training, one outside and one during combat. Soon, however, the two eventually started bonding, [[spoiler: ultimately culminating in Ed becoming the second person in the series to become a Super Saiyan, when his true personality was unleashed.]]
54	* SuperMode: Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles all have one by using the Chaos Emeralds as the source of power.
55	** The E-Fighters all have the Kaio-ken (with the exception of Zach, who uses Galick Energy); it's rendered obsolete with the advent of False Super Saiyan.
56	* ThisIsReality: Each of the Eds get these throughout the series, most notably Eddy.
57	* VillainTeamUp: Professor Utonium and Dr. Eggman in the Revenge Saga [[spoiler:not that it lasts for long.]]
