Notes
Season 1
- In the episode "A Wish to the Eternal Dragon", Pilaf mentions he used to own several pet goldfish that died at some point, but does not mention how many.
Season 2
- In the episode "Look Out for Launch", one of the wanted posters shows a masked character named Akira who appears in a later episode (Master Thief, Hasky) so he won't be counted. The other man called "Sucker-Punch" Mark is a character from the manga series Chobits which was created by Akira Toriyama and was most likely intended to be a cameo much like Akira, so he won't be counted.
- Later on in the episode, the two police officers that were beaten by Goku were most likely killed given how strong Goku is even in his base form at this point in the series and he most likely wasn't pulling back his attacks since he thought they were enemies.
