* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: Happened to Planet Vegeta, Planet Namek... and even Planet Earth itself (''twice'' if you include [[Canon ~~Dis Continuity~~|GT]]).

** Also, the Saiyans (excluding Goku and the Saiyan children), Freeza and Majin Buu have had histories of doing this for kicks.

** Kid Buu in fact did this to [[Apocalypse How|pretty much almost every planet in existence at the time]] in a matter of seconds.

Line 326:

* [[Maniac Monkeys]]: The Saiyans.

* [[Market-Based Title]]: While the animated adaptations have the same name as they do in Japan, the manga version is only called ''Dragon Ball'' there. The French version followed the same title pattern as the Japanese one, but in the United States, the parts of the manga that correspond with the ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' anime were released with the Z attached.

* [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game]]: ''Dragonball Online''. Double plus for fans who hate ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' in that [[Dragon Ball Online]] is considered canon by Toriyama, and [[Word of God|says]] that [[Dragon Ball GT]] [[Canon ~~Dis Continuity~~|never happened]].

* [[Master Apprentice Chain]]: Several, starting with Mutaito > Mutenroshi > Son Gohan, Sr. > Son Goku > Uub

** Also: Mutaito > Tsurusennin > Tenshinhan & Chaozu

Line 353:

* [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours]]

* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]]: It's not a narrative conceit here; all Saiyans become stronger after recovering from an injury.

* [[Names to Know In Anime]]: Too many. [[Akira Toriyama]], original writer; [[Masako Nozawa]], voice of all Son family males; [[Ryo Horikawa]], voice of Vegeta; [[Norio Wakamoto]], voice of Cell; [[Ryusei Nakao]], voice of Freeza; Toru Furuya, voice of Yamucha; his fellow Slapstick member, [[Toshio Furukawa]], voice of Piccolo...

** In the dub, [[Christopher Sabat]] and [[Sean Schemmel]] amongst others, and [[Scott McNeil]] in the Ocean Group version.

* [[The Napoleon]]: Commander Red and Vegeta.

Line 369:

*** Gohan does it too during the Cell Games, letting his rage cloud his judgment and refusing to finish off a clearly outmatched and half-destroyed Cell because he ''hadn't suffered enough''. Of course, Cell can regenerate, and then he decides to just blow everything up...

*** Even moreso than Kami making the regular Dragon Balls; how about the [[Dragon Ball GT|Black Star Dragon Balls]]? They work just like the original ones did, only they scatter over the entire ''galaxy'' when a wish is made, and rather than turning to stone for a year, they ''destroy the Earth'' in one year's time if they're not all gathered and brought back! I know you made these before you expelled your evil side, Kami, but still, what were you thinking?! Or was that just your trial run?

** The entire premise of the Shadow Dragon Saga in ''GT''. The threat is their own fault for using the Dragon Balls too much throughout the history of the show. Then again, GT has a serious [[Canon ~~Dis Continuity~~]] problem, so this might have to go on that page.

*** Not using too much, using too nicely. Negative energy built up because all the Z-Fighters' wishes were nice, such as bringing back the good guys/innocents who had been killed. If something like Oolong wishing for lots of money had happened, the issue wouldn't be one.

**** Seriously: count how many times people were resurrected with Dragon Balls. It's THE most common wish they made.
