* TransformationIsAFreeAction: The reason Piccolo doesn't do anything to stop Freeza while he's transforming? He's too busy arguing with Nail inside his head about getting new apps for his mindscape besides Minesweeper.

The reason Piccolo doesn't do anything to stop Freeza while he's transforming? transforming into his third form? He's too busy arguing with Nail inside his head about getting new apps for his mindscape besides Minesweeper.Minesweeper.
** The reason no one does anything to stop Freeza while he's transforming into his final form? Krillin used all of his energy mortally wounding Vegeta so now he can't use his Kienzan, Vegeta is being healed by Dende, Piccolo is still recovering, and Gohan is still processing what Krillin did.

Piccolo vs Freeza form 2 kicks into high gear, but when Freeza reveals that he has other forms, things go south. Meanwhile, Vegeta tries to increase his power by having Krillin almost kill him. Dende can then heal him, as no one f*cks with the white mage...except for Freeza.

* ContinuityNod: Vegeta notes how back on Earth, Piccolo wasn't able to do much against Nappa, but now is capable of fighting Freeza in his second form. This causes Vegeta to conclude that "power levels are bullsh*t."

* ContinuityNod: BadassBoast: Gohan right before tossing the Masenko at Freeza:
-->'''Gohan:''' HEY FREEZA! The human body's composed of 75% water. ''I am 100% death! (fires Masenko)'' HAVE SOME!
* CallBack:

Vegeta notes how back on Earth, Piccolo wasn't able to do much against Nappa, but now is capable of fighting Freeza in his second form. This causes Vegeta to conclude that "power levels are bullsh*t."
** Vegeta decides to hide out on Freeza Planet 419 aka Planet Kanassa from the ''Bardock, Father of Goku'' special, since no one goes there since the species repopulated.
** Gohan's "[[OhCrap Crapbaskets!]]" CatchPhrase is uttered again when Freeza deflects the Masenko back towards him.
* CallForward: As is typical of the Kanassans, we hear them make random references to future events in the series when we cut to their planet after Vegeta decides to hide out there:
-->"I can see the future!"\\
"Bulma and Vegeta have a kid!"\\
"The real Buu is a child!"\\
"Cell reaches his Perfect form!"\\
"Goten and Trunks [[FusionDance become a guy]]!"\\
"Gohan's the strongest in the universe, [[AllPowerfulBystander but still doesn't do crap]]!"
* GagEcho: After Dende refuses to heal Vegeta, the Saiyan Prince weakly yells after him to "come back, Magic Man." The scene immediately following that has Dende healing Piccolo, who replies with "Thank you, Magic Man.
"



* SayMyName: This is the only condition Dende puts to Vegeta for him to heal Vegeta. Unfortunately, Vegeta, not knowing Dende that well, guesses Krillin's nickname of "Little Green," prompting Dende to fly off.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Vegeta attempts to do this while Freeza's fighting Piccolo, planning to take one of the Ginyus' pods and head off-world, only for Freeza to cut him off at the pass and punch him through a plateau.



* TemptingFate: Dende thinks he's safe from Vegeta's wrath because his healing power makes him too needed an asset for the fight against Freeza. Unfortunately, Freeza thought so too.
