Line 11:
Not to be Confused with ''[[Dragon Ball the Magic Begins]]'' or ''[[Dragon Ball Fight for Victory Son Goku]]''.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Chi Chi
* [[Alternate DVD Commentary]]: A [[Rifftrax|riff]] provided by TeamFourStar of the ''[[Dragon Ball Abridged]]'' series.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Gohan.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Yamcha and Bulma, though they do almost nothing of consequence compared to Goku.
* [[Beam
* [[Beta Couple]]: Yamcha and Bulma.
* [[Blood Magic]]
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
** In the only tournament fight shown, Chi Chi is fighting Mai. These are, most likely, the only two female participants.
** During the final battle, Bulma must fight Mai alone for the Dragon Ball.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Goku takes on Piccolo, [[Informed Ability|who is hyped all movie long as an extremely powerful badass]]. [[Anticlimax|He isn't]].
* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him|Dropped A House On Him]]: The sad fate of {{spoiler|Gohan}}.
* [[The End or Is It]]: {{spoiler|The last shot of the film shows us that [[Big Bad|Piccolo]] has survived Goku's attack and is now being nursed back to health by a woman, for who all we know could be Mai in another guise.}}
* [[Everybody Was Kung
* [[
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Chi Chi for Goku.
* [[Four
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Mai has a scene that's all in (subtitled) Japanese.
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Bulma. Shame she [[A
** [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] cutting both ways?
* [[High School AU]]: No, seriously.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: At the beginning, Goku cares more about dealing with bullies and getting with Chi Chi than with his kung fu-ing.
* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Ki attacks
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Bulma tries this with Mai.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: One of the guys who bullies Goku at school.
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]]
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Large Ham]]: Master Roshi and Piccolo.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Chi Chi
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: See [[Ham and Cheese]].
* [[Necessary Drawback]]: Roshi tries to seal Piccolo again, even though it sucks out his life force. [[Senseless Sacrifice|It doesn't work]].
* [[No Sell]]: When Mai takes on Goku, she lands a solid punch to his face. Goku [[Made of Iron|doesn't seem to notice]].
Line 104 ⟶ 103:
* [[Total Eclipse of the Plot]]: Goku and the gang must acquire all the Dragonballs before an upcoming solar eclipse, when Oozaru will return and joins Piccolo. When said eclipse appears, {{spoiler|Goku transforms into Oozaru}}.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: Averted; it looks like the World Martial Arts Tournament, but it has a different name, Goku doesn't fight in it, and it's barely shown.
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save The World]]: The first chunk of the movie is focused on Goku's conflicts with school bullies. If your name was Goku and you lived way the hell outside the rest of the city with some creepy old dude who told you stories about aliens called Nameks, you'd get picked on too.
* [[Word Salad Title]]: ''Dragonball '''Evolution'''''. [[It Makes Sense in Context]] as being either an adaption or [[Rule of Cool]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Very much averted, as Bulma in the original story was conspicuously a blunette. In some scenes she's got one lock dyed blue, likely as a nod to the original.
