* Most of the [[Family-Unfriendly Death|Family Unfriendly Deaths]]/[[Cruel and Unusual Death|Cruel And Unusual Deaths]] in general, while not as [[Berserk ~~(Manga)~~/Nightmare Fuel|bad]] [[Hellsing ~~(Manga)~~/Nightmare Fuel|as]] [[Fullmetal Alchemist (~~Manga~~)/Nightmare Fuel|these]] [[Bleach ~~(Manga)~~/Nightmare Fuel|kinds,]] are pretty uncomforting, such as the picture above, of Dr.Gero killing an ordinary human [[Disproportionate Retribution|just because he bothered him.]]

* [[Complete Monster|Frieza]] from ''Dragon Ball Z'' was arguably the most terrifying character in the series; all other villains in the series were either created evil, or were raised by a race that ''was'' evil. Frieza seems to be the most needlessly evil, and outright cruel character in the series.

** And for a bonus, Frieza is [[Hey, It's That Voice!|voiced by]] [[Ryusei Nakao]], who voiced [[Bleach|Mayuri Kurotsuchi]].

* His transformations unlike the other transformations that were either weird, [[Nightmare Fuel]] or heroic; Frieza's in a catergory of his own. His first transformation into his 2nd form is [[Body Horror]] at its finest, first his chest and arms enlarge giving the appearance of an upper torso way too big for Frieza's small frame until his legs bulk out starting from the thighs to his ankles, also [[Satan|his horns turn upwards as seen through a shadow]], then we see from his point of view of Vegeta gradually getting smaller, then stretching out his neck, a pink aura surrounds him as his facial features become more adult and his shoulder pads enlarge. In fact the sheer weight of the form causes him to fall to his knees as power is straining his being. In the anime, he then stands up and turns around to show his satanic new form, while in the manga, he gives a [[Slasher Smile]] knowing that the heroes are now screwed. Everyone including Vegeta are scared of this new form. [[Impaled ~~With~~ Extreme Prejudice|which are completely justified as Frieza goes to impale Krillin with his horns and prolonged it with sadistic pleasure]].

** The next transformation, while not as graphic, is even more [[Body Horror]] after Frieza extends his shoulder guards and grows spikes on his back, his face stretches out and then contorts his face into making his nose into a malformed beak while his head elongates. He then plays [[Dragon Ball Abridged|paintball with Piccolo who had been a match for him earlier...just remove the "t"]], his last transformation is unimpressive as he cracks his skin and emerges in his 4th and true form, [[Uncanny Valley|the placid expression and ghostly design makes up for it though]] and [[Would Hit A Child|is]] [[Hero-Killer|easily]] [[Lack of Empathy|the worst]] [[Oh Crap|one]] of them all as Goku find out {{spoiler|At least until he turns Super Saiyan}}

** Arguably the worst part about Frieza is how he's not just going to ''kill'' you; he wants you to die ''terrified''. Probably the best example is in ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' after he {{spoiler|[[Shoot the Medic First|kills Dende]]}} and then [[Flash Step|Flash Steps]] right behind the heroes, and says this priceless bit of dialogue, all while [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhCn_q04qBk this music is playing in the background.]

Line 50:

* Super Buu. While Fat Buu was more like an innocent child that didn't know how not to break stuff and Kid Buu was an evil child that liked breaking stuff (like planets, for instance), Super Buu was probably the most deranged. He has this trademark pose where he's standing straight up, but his long neck is tilted to one side and he's got a Cheshire Cat grin about two sizes too big for his face.

** His actions in this form don't help. As mentioned before, the other forms just liked [[Stuff Blowing Up]]. Some of Super Buu's favorite methods of killing include {{spoiler|turning one into a food of choice and eating/stepping on them and liquefying himself and force-feeding his own body down another's throat, then expanding inside them until they burst.}}

*** The [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Human Extinction Attack]]. {{spoiler|He launches a continuous stream of energy beams that decimates the entire human population. [[Apocalypse How|Class 3a Apocalypse]]. [[For the Evulz|For no other reason except the fact that he could.]] }}

*** {{spoiler|Kid Buu later upgraded it to [[Omnicidal Maniac|Class X-3]], with an immediate threat of [[The End of the World As We Know It|Class X-4]] to boot.}}

*** You know how at that point in the series [[Death Is Cheap|death was practically retconnable at will thanks to the Dragon Balls?]] To the point Piccolo even tried to buy time by suggesting Super Buu kill all the humans down on mainland Earth knowing they could be wished back? Suddenly when he did that attack it didn't feel so cheap anymore.

**** [[It Got Worse]] - remember, the earth's dragon can't revive people more than once, and as far as they knew, the Namekian dragon could only revive three people every 130 days. That means he was knowingly sacrificing everyone killed by Cell or Vegita PERMANENTLY.
