- Winning a match in Cell's What If? saga in Tenkaichi 1 has everyone (sans-Super 17) admitting that they failed and that they don't deserve to live. It's a lot funnier than it sounds.
- There are several elements that don't change based on the characters fighting that can get a little weird sometimes.
- Chiaotzu's ultimate attack, "Goodbye Mr. Tien", has Tien randomly screaming Chiaotzu's name in the background during the explosion. Partially because of this, the attack name takes on a whole different meaning when Tien's your opponent...
- Every character in Dragon Sim mode in 3 has the same possible events that are randomly drawn from. Yes, Chi-Chi is ordering the likes of Frieza, Broly, and Omega Shenron to sit down and do their homework.
- The Saibamen's ultimate attack leaves the opponent in Yamcha's classic, trademark pose regardless of who it is. It's quite an unusual sight to see the likes of Broly, Omega Shenron, and SSJ4 Gogeta crumpled up and helpless on the ground.
- Similarly to the above, Nam's Shura Gekiretsuken (the karate chop he used to defeat Ranfan) always sends its opponent falling downward in a similar defenseless state. Using it against anyone is hilarious.
- Cui's ultimate attack, looking over his opponent's shoulder and telling them Frieza is behind them, works on Frieza.
- However, in every case, he simply says "Lord Frieza!" and not "Oh, it's Lord Frieza!" So it could also be taken as him alerting Frieza of something behind him. Still funny to see Cui actually convince Frieza there's someone behind him.
- Majin Vegeta before he self destructs says goodbye to his family and Goku. Used on a villain, it's rather emotional. Used on Goku or Trunks, it gives off slightly different implications.
- The character's reactions to fighting someone they know at a different age, especially for Kid Goku and Kid Chi-Chi.
- Kid Goku Vs. YamchaYamcha: Against this Goku, I might actually have a chance.
- Kid Goku Vs. GotenGoku: You look just like me. Are you some kinda weird ghost or somethin'?
- Kid Goku Vs. PanPan: Grandpa! You totally forgot about me didn't you?
Goku: What're you talking about? I'm still a kid!
Goku (after winning): I know I haven't gotten that much older, but... - Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Adult GokuChi-Chi: Goku! How did you get so big?
Goku: Chi-Chi was sure cute back then. - Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Videl
Videl: Huh? Mother-in-law!?- Kid Chi-Chi Vs. GotenChi-Chi: You're not Goku! You're an imposter!
Goten: Huh? What's wrong Mom?
Goten (after winning): Hey, why is Mom smaller? - Kid Chi-Chi Vs. PanPan: What? Even Grandma is here!
Chi-Chi: Who are you calling Grandma? - Kid Goku (GT) Vs. Chi-ChiGoku: Huh. Chi-Chi, you got smaller too.
- Kid Goku Vs. Yamcha
- In Budokai Tenkaichi 2's Fusion Reborn Story mode, after Gohan defeats Bojack and Zangya, both Frieza and Cell comment on how terrible Gohan's Great Saiyaman outfit is.
- Just...Just Great Saiyaman in general. Especially when his pre-battle quotes with the Ginyu Force, both Trunks or Piccolo. Meanwhile Videl and Goten likes the costume.
- If you or your opponent is a Dragon Ball player or Mr. Satan, expect them to start flailing their arms or feet when they can't maintain their altitude on flight-level with someone who can fly indefinitely.
- If you linger long enough in BT3's Versus menu, you may hear this quip from Nappa: "Hey, uhh...think if I went Super Saiyan, my goatee would grow?"
- Years later, in Xenoverse 2, Nappa would get Super Saiyan in a free update. It doesn't grow but it does turn blonde.
- Gets even funnier in Super Dragon Ball Heroes, where Nappa's beard does grow in his Super Saiyan 3 form.
- Years later, in Xenoverse 2, Nappa would get Super Saiyan in a free update. It doesn't grow but it does turn blonde.
- Great Ape Baby's "I believe it's time for this monkey to spank you!!" is as hilarious as it is inappropriate. The first game also had Jeice straight up call you a "wanker" and the second game had 18 outright calling Zangya a "skank" completely uncensored. It's almost a huge shame the radar caught on by 3, at least for Jeice and 18.
- Super Baby 2 and Great Ape Baby's lines in general are absolutely jam-packed with Laughably Evil Large Ham.
- Vegeta's explanation of Tenkaichi 1's CPU vs. CPU mode.Vegeta: Have the computer fight itself. Wow. Sounds like fun.
- Actually successfully beating Kid Buu with Hercule in Tenkaichi 3's story mode causes a brief but hilarious scene where Goku and Vegeta enter a Heroic BSoD. In a Ironic Echo they start believing they are dreaming much like Hercule spends most of the series doing after seeing what the Z-Fighters and villains can do.
