I feel that \"Wait, what?\" could be its own trope, separate from the double take. While \"Wait, what?\" is basically a verbal double take, it is less cartoony and more often used in real life, so it has a different quality. I has also seemingly become way more common in the last decade or so, maybe longer, as the double take feels more like broad, physical comedy, while \"Wait, what?\" fits better into a modern, more cerebral comedy framework.

None of the villains in Z are martial artists. The Saiyans analyze a person's battle power at birth to determine their rank while Vegeta openly espouses the idea that HardWorkHardlyWorks, boasting that his strength is a level of power that no amount of hard work could achieve. They're built on the idea that powerful people are powerful because they're just born that way.
Frieza's empire is just as bad about it, with Frieza having never trained in his life. Frieza, his father, and his Ginyus are mutants which is why they have such phenomenally high battle powers. Like the Saiyans, none of them are martial artists.
The Androids aren't martial artists; they're powerful because they were either built or upgraded - depending on whether a given number is an Android or a Cyborg - with biotechnology from Dr. Gero. Neither is Cell, who has the genes of certain martial artists in him, but like the Saiyans and the mutants, is powerful because he was just born that way.
And last is Majin Buu, a god-killing Eldritch Abomination.
Not one of these characters can reasonably be considered a Kung-Fu Guy.

Ignore this, it was supposed to be a separate post, not a reply.
