Line 320:
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: Piccolo Daimao introducing himself as the [[President Evil|new ruler of the world]], and Cell announcing the Cell Games.
* [[Draconic Demon]]: King Piccolo's youngest son Cymbal from the original ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' is a goofy-looking, tubby dragon, but is still a dangerous demon and one of his father's most powerful servants.
* [[Draconic Divinity]]: ''Dragon Ball'' gives us one of anime's most famous examples in Shenron, the Eternal Dragon summoned by gathering all seven Dragon Balls. While ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]'' would reveal that he and his creator Kami are merely powerful aliens, he's still a powerful wish-granting entity who commands the full respect of those who summon him, and he makes it clear that he's not to be trifled with.

The Super Dragon Balls however can summon Super Shenron, a mind-bogglingly powerful golden god of a dragon who can grant reality-warping wishes, and is so big he can swallow entire planets in one bite and dwarfs entire ''galaxies'' in size.<ref>Which leaves one to wonder: [[Fridge Logic|Where does he go when he isn't responding to a summons?]] You would expect to see him ''somewhere'' in the sky at all times.</ref>

* [[Dragon-in-Chief]]: Quite common:
