* FillingTheSilence: Dialogue is added into the Funimation dub for the Androids where there clearly wasn't any in the original, which was definitely not a bad thing given how little they talked in the original.

* HotterAndSexier: There's a bit more sexuality in this film than the others. At one point Master Roshi imagines a bunch of bikini models in rather risqué poses, and at the very end the [[MaleGaze camera stays zeroed]] in on a passing Nurses butt

* AlternateContinuity: The [[AllThereInTheManual Daizenshuu]] states that the movie takes place in a world parallel to the main timeline, set after Gero's death but before Cell becomes Perfect, explaining why Goku is up and about rather than bedridden from the heart virus.

* AlternateContinuity: The [[AllThereInTheManual Daizenshuu]] states that the movie takes place in a world parallel to the main timeline, set after Gero's death but before Cell becomes Perfect, explaining why Goku is up and about rather than bedridden from the heart virus. The premise for this timeline seems to be "What if Gero was creating more Androids instead of Cell?" However it doesn't explain what happens to 17 and 18 in this timeline, since they are shown to exist in the very beginning.

%%* ArtificialHuman: Androids 13, 14, and 15.

to:

%%* * ArtificialHuman: Androids 13, 14, and 15.15 are all pure androids, like 16 and 19 in the main continuity.



%%* BloodKnight: Android 13.
* CombatPragmatist: Android 13 in his Super form. This is especially evident when he manages to [[GroinAttack punch Goku in the groin]] with his free arm (his other arm was grabbing his leg).

to:

%%* * BloodKnight: Even though Android 13.
13 is tasked with killing Goku, he doesn't care to do so quickly, preferring to get as much fight out of him as he can first. The only explanation for this behavior from the otherwise-efficient android is this.
* BloodierAndGorier: Dr. Gero's death at the hands (well, foot) of Android 17 is quicker and yet bloodier and more sinister than in the original.
* CombatPragmatist: Android 13 13's fighting style can be summed up as this. In his regular form, one of the first things he does is drag Goku down underwater, where the Saiyan is at a distinct disadvantage due to needing to breathe. Even in his Super form. This form this aspect is still present, being especially evident when he manages to [[GroinAttack punch Goku in the groin]] with his free arm (his other arm was grabbing his leg).



* IcyBlueEyes: Like the Androids of the main timeline, 13 and 15 have these. Strangely, Android 14 has orange eyes, making him the only one of all the androids to not have this eye color.
* InconsistentDub: When debating Trunks, Android 13 sneers at his "thirty-dollar haircut", even though the DB universe has its own established currency called zeni.
* TheJuggernaut: Android 13 is damn near unstoppable once he transforms into his super form.



* NicknamingTheEnemy: Dub only. Android 13 very rarely refers to Goku by name, preferring to call him by demeaning Southern nicknames such as "city boy", "son", or just "boy".
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Android 15 is at the height of Gohan and Krillin, yet is strong enough to give Vegeta a tough time even when the latter transformed into a Super Saiyan.
* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Android 13's transformation causes his hair to turn red and flare up like a Super Saiyan's, even though Gero had no idea what a Super Saiyan even was when he created 13.
* PowerTrio: The sole reason this movie was made seems to have been to create a situation that would force Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta to all transform into Super Saiyans at once. The bad guys, of course, are a power trio themselves.



* {{Rewrite}}: Justified by it being an alternate universe, but in the main timeline Android 18 states that Dr. Gero destroyed all the other androids up to 15, which Gero does not contradict.



%%* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Well, yes.
%%* WalkingShirtlessScene: Android 13 and 14.

to:

%%* * ThirteenIsUnlucky: Well, yes.
%%*
Played up in the American dub with Android 13's LargeHam speech upon showing himself. This is completely absent from the original, since Japanese culture doesn't have the same superstition about the number thirteen that Western culture does.
*
WalkingShirtlessScene: Neither Android 13 and 14.or 14 wear shirts. 13 wears suspenders, while 14 wears a brassard.


Added DiffLines:

* WreckedWeapon: Android 13 breaks the sword of Trunks, similar to Android 18 breaking it in the main continuity.
